Subnautica 2 could become a chilling horror game, if only it would shut up
Subnautica 2 has the potential to be a brilliant horror and survival game, but its narrative structure, heavily reliant on audio logs and AI companions, undermines the sense of isolation and discovery.

Unknown Worlds' over-reliance on explicit narrative delivery hinders the game's ability to let players piece things together on their own terms.
