Once you get a grip of crafting food/water, your most important tool is the scanner.

It's a game like no other with diverse biomes, alien creatures, open ocean, deep sea caves, kelp forests, grassy plains, thermal vents and loads of discoveries. Subnautica can be relaxing, tense, surprising, unforgiving, wondrous and highly rewarding. This will probably be my Game of the Year for 2018. The game does direct players through radio messages, so keep checking the Habitat Pod for new messages.

I looked up a couple of YouTube starter videos to get a hang of crafting the basic tools and survival equipment and would highly recommend Jade Plays Games. Subnautica is brilliant, a beautiful, immersive, underwater survival sim that does away with the handholding of most modern games.

It does freeze/stutter (at times) when I surface for air, but I've had no other performance issues following the very quick post-launch patch. These are incorrect the game saves fine and I haven't had it crash once. Ignore people writing reviews saying the game doesn't save or that it crashes.
