One of the scariest non-horror games ever made. The first time you hear a Reaper, you'll never forget it. A superb survival game with none of the frustrating aspects that often plague the genre. Highly recommended and should be preserved for posterity.
Subnautica was my first real pc game next to minecraft, I've had so much much fun playing it. one of favorite pc games that opened the door for my love of computers in general. Would love to own it DRM free and play for years to come.
Subnautica is absolutely one of my favorite games. The atmosphere and story are on-point. I love the feeling of exploring the depths, and there is some real terror to be found. I would snatch it up on GOG in a heartbeat to get an offline installer I could use with my mod library forever. This is one of my dream gog games

Why isn't this game on GoG yet? It is one of my fav underwater games. I didn't care for the follow on, but this one was nearly perfect in every way. Many biomes, great crafting, and great exploration.
I lost my balls playing this game. I have a fear of the ocean and this made it worse. I wish to unsee this and everything I did here, I am traumatized. I can never turn back. 10/10 would play again.

Subnautica to gra, która od pierwszej minuty wciągnęła mnie bez reszty. Już na starcie, kiedy zanurzyłem się w głębiny tej obcej planety, poczułem nieodpartą mieszankę zachwytu i niepokoju – emocji, które stały się moimi codziennymi towarzyszami podczas eksploracji podwodnego świata. Co najbardziej urzekło mnie w Subnautica, to niesamowita dbałość o detale. Każdy zakamarek oceanu, od subtelnie oświetlonych raf koralowych, po mroczne i tajemnicze głębiny, został tak realistycznie oddany, że czułem się, jakbym naprawdę przemierzał nieznane wody. Odkrywanie starożytnych ruin, napotkanie egzotycznych, czasem groźnych stworzeń, a nawet spokojne momenty, gdy podziwiałem piękno naturalnych krajobrazów – wszystko to budowało we mnie niezłomne poczucie przygody. Mechanika gry również zasługuje na ogromne uznanie. Budowanie własnej bazy, zbieranie surowców i rozwijanie technologii stały się dla mnie prawdziwym wyzwaniem, które dawało ogromną satysfakcję z każdej pokonanej przeszkody. Każda decyzja miała wpływ na moje przetrwanie, co sprawiało, że gra była nie tylko angażująca, ale i emocjonująca. Jednak z czasem, zanurzając się coraz głębiej w mroczne rejony oceanu, poczułem, że Subnautica odsłania swoją mroczną stronę. To, co na początku zachwycało egzotyczną urodą, zaczęło przeistaczać się w arenę przerażającej grozy. Każdy cień, każdy niespodziewany dźwięk budziły we mnie uczucie osamotnienia, a echo własnego oddechu przypominało o nieuchronnym zagrożeniu. Mrok głębin skrywał niewyobrażalny strach, który sprawiał, że granica między snem a koszmarem stawała się coraz bardziej rozmyta.
The first time I dove into the ocean and saw the majestic creatures. Also the crafting/survival aspect of the game combined with the mystery was gripping. This game is sorely needed to be preserved on GOG.

As a diver myself, I found the concept of this game to be so fascinating. I loved the isolation. The music was wonderful and the game had a a captivating atmosphere you could cut with a knife. The crafting (especially after the last update) was super fun and intuitive. I hope GOG makes this game available for us to purchase because it NEEDS to be preserved and DRM free! Please!
"The" Underwater game to beat. It is without doubt one of the most interesting and stunning games I have ever played. No other game comes close to the "real" feeling of living and surviving underwater. To finally have a copy to own, for real, would make my head spin!
