It's pretty good.

Wait for a few patches, right now the AI system seems to be broken (confirmed by devs on reddit and discord) and performance needs a lot of work, up-scaling and frame generation seems to be the only way to get reasonable fps but that leads to plenty of other issues with ghosting etc.

Best controller I've ever used.

With the success of steamdeck I really hope valve makes a steam controller 2

Below Zero feels like a linear story game, it has tight environments that funnel you straight to objectives and generally the game feel a lot less of a survival games compared to Subnautica.

Below Zero is still a good game, I would recommend Subnautica first to anyone who might be interested in the series and then to move onto Below Zero.

I don't know why but they changed the PDA voice and it can sometimes be hard to understand what it is saying. I do miss the cold uncaring voice from Subnautica.

Don't.

It's good but grab it when it's on sale.

I just wanted to leave a review because I realised I was at 111 hours when scrolling through my library.

Please don't buy this... It's a poor excuse for a game in the best of circumstances but putting it forward as a contender for a geopolitical simulation game is laughable. There are plenty of other reviews here that point out countless issues with UI, AI, graphics, navigation etc, trust them, they are true.

Don't buy this game...

It's good fun. Prefer playing with friends.

Completed my first playthrough in 4 minutes. I'm a bit of a rebel.

Games got a good sense of humor. Think I'm going to like it.

Going in for round two now!

DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAN TO USE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!

Mouse controls are emulated from controller directional inputs.
Moving mouse left at any speed will slowly turn like pushing an analog controller stick left.
*There is no direct/raw mouse input.*
This has made me have severe motion sickness.

There is no evidence that they have made any improvements at all in the 8 months since the console release. It feels like all they did was add denuvo and release.

I am playing with a controller out of necessity, it is horrible and I only use it for racing games.


2022 Edit:

They added proper mouse control a while back. Game is good and price is low. Would recommend it now.
