Unravel the mystery of this world teeming with creatures, both friendly and hostile, scattered with clues from a previous time.

So I have decided this is one of the best games I have ever played it’s SOOOOOO FUN I LOVE IT and it works on my iPad because I’m playing on an iPad mini gen and it’s listed as unsupported but it works it’s just bad graphics (except for the water even with bad graphics it looks AMAZING it’s the best water I have ever seen in a game) but there is one problem when I get to the alien structure on the island the one that is big it kicks me out I don’t expect you to fix it because you guys say my iPad is unsupported in the description just mentioning it and I hope one day I can get it on my laptop or download it back when I get a new iPad (btw I have had this iPad since I was 6 or 7 no pun intended and now I’m 11 so it’s pretty old but it works) also I really really like the mechanics and driving the cyclops and sea moth I think that is what it was called I kinda forgot and one more thing I really like the story I haven’t completed the game yet and I don’t think I can because of that bug where it kicks me out but I have watched walk throughs and I like playing in creative so yeah that’s my review on your game I hope one day I can finish the game on my laptop with amazing graphics😄 bye i can’t wait for Subnautica two to come out
I love it but…

I love the game a lot, I always wanted to play it but I couldn’t since I didn’t had a PC or Console to play in, well now that I been playing it I notice several things but I’m not sure if they are bugs or glitches, first issue I had was that I built a scanner room but the actual scanner doesn’t works correctly whenever I try to scan for items it says scanning but it stays like that forever and never actually shows me or tells me anything, second thing I notice is that most of the times a creature tries to attack me even if there’s a wall in between the creature somehow it’s available to clip through the walls which it doesn’t make any since specially the reaper leviathan or other bigger creatures, third thing I also hate is how hot my device can get whenever I try to play for longer than 30 minutes and I know it’s not my device cause I play on an IPhone 16 Pro Max or an iPad Pro M4 why I say this is cause on other mobile games like PUBG or Farlight 84 the issue doesn’t even exist so I believe the game needs to be optimized a lot more, my last one is battery what I mean about battery is that the game drains so much energy from any of my devices I mentioned before is just unbelievable how fast my IPad or IPhone die whenever I play for a couple of hours plus the heat just makes me not want to play it even tho I love the game so much, all I ask is for a update that fixes these issues thank you.
One of My All-Time Favorite Games Lives Up to the Hype on Mobile

I never write reviews, but I felt I had to. I originally played Subnautica over a decade ago and it persisted as one of my favorite games over that time. So when I saw that they ported it to mobile, I was cautiously optimistic, but still had concerns about the optimization for mobile or the game losing the “scuffed” charm that the original had. I’ve played this version on mobile for two hours and so far I’m stunned how good it is. I’m using an iPhone 15 and my phone has hardly gotten mildly warm and I haven’t noticed dropped frames or stuttering of any kind. So far it still has its charm of not being perfectly polished like the original (the fins appear first when cooking garryfish, you abruptly get out of bases without a transition into water, etc.) while also having the heart and fun mechanics that I loved over ten years ago. Maybe the nostalgia is taking over, but of the games ported from console/PC to mobile that I’ve played, this really does seem like one of the best. Through two hours, I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you’ve never played it before

Best Survival Game Of All Time
IsaacBurgers
I’ve Never Had My Game Crash ONCE in my 27+ hours put into playing. After completing the game, I am pleased and fulfilled. I don’t regret a cent spent on this game. If it was this game or GTA 5 to keep in existence I would choose this game. The gameplay and graphics for a game on mobile is insane. The lore/story in this game is amazing. The things you can do/do as you progress are insane, and insanely fun. The people who made/worked on this game truly, truly, truly, truly, truly, put hard work into it. I can taste the creativity and passion in this game. The Monsters, sea life, the things you can do even after completing the story make it truly make this more than just a survival game. This is one of the best games I have EVER played. I still have this game on my mind after completing it. After this work of art of a game, there is subnautica below zero. And then another game Subnautica 2 which is in early access and looks fantastic and respects the first game and honors it in every aspect. Buy this game if you haven’t. BUY IT.
