Below Zero worth it or not ?

[Harry Rogers]

I am just thinking about Below Zero and really wanna play it
But the price scares me(I'm a poor man)
Just wanna ask Below Zero worth playing or not.

[Amanoob105]

If you're worried about the price wait for it to go on sale. Which it often is.

Then if you have played less than two hours of it and think "I'm not having fun with this", refund.

*Edit* Oh I should also mention that if you haven't already you should also ask this same question on the BZ steam forum.

[nimue]

Not worth. If you choose between BZ and Subnautica, choose the latter.

[Dirak2012]

Better play (or replay) Subnautica.

[admiral1018]

If you're very price sensitive, wait for the winter sale in December.

As for whether it's worth it, that depends on what you liked about Subnautica. If you were really into the exploring and base building, I'd recommend it. If you were more about the experience of being isolated and enjoyed the tension/horror aspects, I might not recommend it, since those aspects were removed.

If you like Subnautica you won't like bz, they're 'polar' opposite games to me

[Voiden]

Mr Stuffy I don't think that's right, yes the story is very heavy in bz and its a completely environment but the game style is exactly the same, its still a horror open world survival game, and the mechanics are all the same.

If you like subnautica but wish there was more story bz is ur thing!

What's the use of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ story? Story BZ - full bottom.🤔

yes. as a plot continuation of the first part, it is terrible and I cannot perceive it as a canon, because it is corny illogical. if I misunderstood XxAnCIenTxV0IdxX message, then I apologize.

in terms of gameplay, this part of Subnautica is also inferior, but this is the lesser of evils. but for someone, maybe a greater evil.

Nothing ''horror'' about Below Zero.
The Leviathans are way less scary, and because the feeling of being alone is gone it feels very different from the original Subnautica.

it's a different feeling here. the feeling of rage, because you are annoyed by both opponents and biomes.

Not worth.

[Zaichi]

of course it's worth playing. if you love Subnautica you'll get pretty much the same in Below Zero but with some downgrades that may or may not be downgrades to you, like:
-clunkier vehicle (no more Seamoth)
-more constricted biomes (since there will be a lot of ice in and on water)
-weaker story (hard to make a better story than that of the original Subnautica)
-debatable likeness of the female protagonist (i personally dislike her immature sounding voice and brash attitude which only proves sometimes protagonists should be mute because the personality and voice will rub half the people the wrong way, while mutes never will)
etc.
but all those things don't make Below Zero worse, they just make it different, for better of worse depending on your own preference. visually it's stunning and has more detail than original since it's a newer game.
like many people have said original Subnautica reins supreme and always will, but it would be a shame to miss on a direct sequel which expands on the story and gives you new areas to play in, regardless or not how slightly inferior they may be to some players. developers did a great job and it's not fair to judge a game based on comparisons with the original.

holidays are just around the corner so i'd advise you to wait for a discount if you're tight with money.

If you like caves more than sea, if you like truck more than mooth, if you like lot of ice instead of some palms - than wait for sale and try BZ. I'm playing it now and feel myself horrible
