New Gameplay Today – Subnautica

Ben Hanson has been raving about the game Subnautica for a while now. "It's like Minecraft and what we wish No Man's Sky had been," is not a direct quote, but it's close enough. Fine. Hanson wins. Leo Vader and I sat down with him to learn what, exactly, he finds so fascinating about this sci-fi underwater survival game.

There's a lot to cover in this one, and Hanson does a great job of hitting all of the high points. Leo explores the undersea world, getting a little cocky (and oxygen deprived), and also manages to craft a coveted piece of gear way earlier than Hanson managed in his playthrough. Leo truly has a gift.

Subnautica is currently available on Steam and Xbox Game Preview.
