Reviews for Subnautica

Nicholas Gass

Absolutely phenomenal mobile port. It's the entire game. Nothing taken out, nothing added in, nothing behind a paywall. And it runs beautifully. I use a midrange $400 Chinese phone meant for camping, and it runs on it amazingly. It's perfectly optimized for mobile. And of course, Subnautica is one of the best survival games ever made. I would say it's genre defining. If you're a mobile gamer, this is the game to play. It will set a new standard for the industry, I'm sure of it.

I am definitely quite impressed with the optimizations on this game, and have no doubt it'll continue to be improved. There are some minor bugs, like in other reviews, but nothing too serious. I did encounter one thing seemingly unique though, when constructing the sea moth it appeared about 150 meters away from the mobile vehicle bay. And on the topic of optimization, I would like to see some more advanced graphics settings, especially for foliage.

Fantastic gameplay experience. Subnautica's a big game so I was worried about performance, but it runs smooth as butter on high graphics even on a device that's a little older. The controls feel good as well. Subnautica's a masterpiece of a survival game, and I would highly recommend it - although definitely not to anyone prone to heart attacks đź’€

Absolutely hands down best port to mobile ever! The game has hours of discovery and entertainment. you get to unravel a mystery and build a giant base under the ocean and explore the depths and discover ancient ruins. It was a five star game on PC. Now the entire game is on mobile and it's perfect! And I can stop playing on my phone but continue the same save with my tablet! Great job devs! You knocked the ball out of the park with this one!

loved this game on PC, but I was a bit worried about how they'd handle the controls and tone down the graphics for mobile. so far, I'm really impressed. playing on a pixel 9 pro fold and there is native resolution for both inner and outer screens, the game looks beautiful still and the controls take all of 5 minutes to get used to. went and caught myself some peepers with no issue at all, haven't had a chance to test all vehicles yet, but so far so good!

So far this mobile version of Subnautica is awesome. It's not lagging on my Pixel 6 Pro. I have not started building a base yet so that remains to be determined in regards to lag. Performance and graphics are pretty nice thus far. So far 5/5! Def recommend. Update: Trying to scan while moving is very hard to do. It'd be nice to move camera while holding scan button. Also, the lockers won't allow the very bottom row to be filled when being dragged unless dragged at specific crosshair in box.

I had this game Pre-Registered and got it day 1! Amazing job! I love the little small differences compared to PC/Console. Graphics are fantastic. Controls are much better than I was expecting. I have run into one small bug so far, but it is nothing serious. When I get out of the Seamoth, sometimes it doesn't let me out, and I have to press the button to get in, then get out again. I am hoping ya'll will add a resource highlight feature like on PC. Amazing job!

I've got this game on PC and the Switch, I prefer the PC version, but on the go, I'd bring along the Switch. I'm using a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and honestly, this game plays better so far on my phone than the Switch. Load times are way faster, not as fast as on my PC, but much quicker than on my Switch. I've noticed a few quirks here or there, but not game breaking, and so far, about 5 hours in, I've not had any crashes. This also works fine with my external controller. It's definit a 👍 up for me.

Feels just like the original game! (So far) I don't know how the on-screen controls are since I'm using an Xbox controller. But, playing this game on mobile is just like playing it on Xbox (aside from a couple of UI changes). Playing on max settings, the game still runs smoothly. It drains my battery and generates heat slightly less than CoD Mobile does, and there isn't any detectable lag. (Playing on Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra) I look forward to seeing how the story compares to the Xbox version.

I am a very VERY experienced player of Subnautica. And THIS. This is fire. I personally just love the idea of getting absolutely horrified by Reaper Leviathans on the road. The thing I can't really get behind is the scan is immediate, unlike the console and PC version of this game, and also I feel like the graphics can be more you know... optimized due to overheating from long sessions. And when you craft the survival knife, the caption is wrong. Other than all that, pretty good port! I like it.
