Open-world survival craft games have really hit their stride in the past few years. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re titles which plonk you down in a giant world and tell you to use any means necessary to keep yourself alive. There’s also some construction mixed in with the hunting, gathering, and farming, which lets you go from someone with barely anything to their name to owning a huge base.
Subnautica took the genre and dared to reimagine what it’d look like if the majority of your time was spent underwater. It was a huge hit, and the developers are still making content based on the series to this day. If you wanted to go back and see how it all started, the original Subnautica is now 75% off for a limited time, its biggest Steam discount yet.
Subnautica is now just $7.49 as it falls to its cheapest-ever price on Steam
In a gaming scene full of titles where you can explore and craft, Subnautica does something different. Instead of roaming on the land looking for resources, Subnautica puts you on a planet that’s mostly water. Everything you need to survive sits under the waves, so you’ll need to advance your tech and research new items to better brave the depths.
Here’s how the game describes itself:
You have crash-landed on an alien ocean world, and the only way to go is down. Subnautica’s oceans range from sun drenched shallow coral reefs to treacherous deep-sea trenches, lava fields, and bio-luminescent underwater rivers. Manage your oxygen supply as you explore kelp forests, plateaus, reefs, and winding cave systems. The water teems with life: Some of it helpful, much of it harmful.
Sound good? If so, pop over to the Subnautica Steam page and snap it up for a cool $7.49. It’s the first time we’ve ever seen the title go for 75% off on Steam, so if you’ve been waiting for this one to get cheaper, now is a fantastic time to check it out. But you have to be quick, as the deal will sink back into the depths on August 21st.
