At this point I've seen a million video essays, comments, post, ect ect ect, on why Below Zero sucks. But in the same vein it has a massive dedicated following and a lot of people actually really liked it, in some cases even more than the original Subnautica. And now there's this evil terrible voice telling me to do a meta analysis, mostly of the eight hundred videos bashing it- but also as a broader look at the fandom and why opinions are so split the way they are.
I have my own opinions, being a huge fan of the original Subnautica, and going into Zero completely blind (not watching a playthrough or otherwise being spoiled before full release). I wanna see how my own experiences line up with others, both people who picked it up after full release and the early access players.
Give me your opinions on Below Zero, either as a stand alone game or in comparison to the original Subnautica, I want to know if this idea is anything. Also tell me about video essays or reviews or just relevant posts if you know of any.
My brother in christ.
I am asking you to ramble, no word limit, tell me your hyper fixation, your opinions.
