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. While the game excels in environmental storytelling and atmosphere, the constant exposition from audio logs and the AI 'NoA' prevents players from truly experiencing the mystery and tension. Unknown Worlds' over-reliance on explicit narrative delivery hinders the game's ability to let players piece things together on their own terms.
