Inspired by Weedian's post a few days ago and all the talk about what a great game it is, I was revisiting some of my old bases in Subnautica. The only problem I have with the game was that it doesn't run very well on ps4. Lots of framerate issues and things not being drawn in for a long time. Other than that, I loved it like everyone else who commented so I'm itching for more.
Has anyone played the sequel, Sub Zero? Does it live up to its predecessor as far as gameplay? If you played it on ps4, does it run any better than the original?
Edit: Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to pass on getting it and look for something else. I'm not too surprised it's not as good as the original because so much of what was amazing about the first one was the sense of discovery and the unknown that's hard to replicate when revisiting any given world. But it sounds even a bit worse than I expected.
It's not as good as the original and I think to really find enjoyment from Sub Zero you need to sorta accept that. Your vehicle options are kinda bland with the sea truck being a mix of the Cyclops and Seamoth which ends up being kinda less cool as a result. You have an above ground section that feels more like a grind than exploration. The plot is smaller but also has some fairly decent character moments if you're into gathering audio logs. The basebuilding is hands down better, they added a fair amount of segments that are just fun to use and build, shame the biomes just aren't as fun as a whole. There are still great vistas, but where I loved building on the cusp of the grand reef where I could see the lights but still be kinda center of the map, it's just less visually distinct overall. By the end of the game I was more or less done with the game and was just rushing to finish it.
My opinion is also impacted by the fact that I love basebuilding aspects to games and can sink a lot of time into it so having better basebuilding options kept me going.
