saw many people arguing that Below Zero works much worse than ordinary Subnautica. It does indeed, but I found extremally easy solution for this:

  1. Press F3 to open additional options menu

  2. Press F8 to open feedback menu. This is just for being able to press on anything inside F3 menu

  3. Untick Clouds


It turned out that clouds are literally burning hardware. On my old laptop with clouds enabled I had around 8-10 FPS, after disabling them, my FPS jumped into 40+ all the times.

biggest issue right now is that the story is longer on a timer but instead based on places you visited
bit annoying having to look up where to go next to progress the quest

if you just listen to what they're saying its pretty clear what to do

took me 5 hours to get a base set up and finish the available story

more will be added in coming patches

Never played it
Definitely not then
Play the first game first, its amazing if you like exploring with the constant threat of wildlife you can't fight back
Below Zero is early access, and continues the story of the first game so a lot of stuff wouldn't make sense

I’d this worth getting yes or no
get the original first and wait for below zero to come out of early access before you play it

it's a bit different for a good bunch of us as we bought the original subnautica during early access and stuck through the development process, so buying below zero in early access is a special thing

if you get the original subnautica don't look up anything about it, the magic of the game is exploring everything and learning stuff on your own as you go

Already brought and started to play,
game opens with the main character cracking their fingers after waking up.
I freaked.
