Kerbal Space Program 2 vibes… I’m suddenly less optimistic on subnautica 2.

    When Below Zero came out it was clear that they had no idea what made Subnautica special, something that a sequel had no hope of replicating. Fear of the unknown and the drive to explore deeper. Once you’ve completed Subnautica you are a god of the sea, and that knowledge and experience cannot be lost.

    Mobius Digital was able to make a successful DLC for Outer Wilds because they understood what made their game work, which is the player’s own curiosity.

      Co-op could’ve been a nice unlock for completing the game but yeah the isolation was the whole draw for Subnautica.
