I could just go on and on about every little detail and not get bored talking, but I want to leave something for you to explore. Now let`s get in the story, and again I`m warning you about spoilers if you
don`t story spoiled, then leave.
The game starts with a custscene of you making into the escape pod and ejecting yourself out of crashing (space)ship. As you wake up, reasons you`ve gotten uncouncious before, you first thing put fire out
and then get out of escape pod now laying on the ocean. If you decide to exit up, then you`d see nothing except your crashed shit and water all around you for miles to come. If you exit on the down side
you will see underwater world that will mesmerize you with beauty. It certanly did it to me first time i got in the game.
You`l start doing anything to survive while ocasionaly getting radio message`s from other life pods. If you go to them, you can find couple of blueprints for other stuff and more PDA`s to uncover their story.
At one point you will start getting messages from Sunbeam ship that will eventually come to your rescue. Landing position wiil be one of the islands. When you get to the island you will find strange structure, depends how long before Sunbeam lands of given 45 minutes, you will either explore it before Sunbeam or later. Now jsut as about Sunbeam is about to become visible in the sky, building stars to shift and in next moment it starts looking like a cannon. Just as sunbeam is about to land building will fire huge green laser and blow Sunbeam to smitherins, leaving you stranded on 4546B once again.
If you explored or exploring alien structure, you will find out that the planet is under quarantine and infected invidiuals cannot dissable it, as you have attempted. After scanning yourself, you find out that you are infected with unknown virus, and that no one can land down on the planet because of the big scary gun. After trying to sulk in your sadness in idea that you will be stuck and looking for blueprints and whatnot, a strange noise will go off followed by strange mirage of some creature. You`l hear that strange creature asking:"What are you?"
I asume everyone`s first reaction will be: ``What the hell!?`` , or ``HOLY ****``. I know i pooped myself a bit. Anyway, after all the grinding you`l start go going deeper until you reach lost river where you will find another alien facility in which your virus will enter next stage. Next to that area you will find best area for grinding materials and probably one of most beautifull area`s in game, the Cove tree area.
After that you will head deeper into the dark tunnel and start going even deeper until you reach inactive lava zone. There you will be in need to find another Precursor base. Ofcourse you will be greeted by the Sea Dragon Leviathan. Good luck! Reaching Precursor base will give you knownledge about ion technology and 3rd base in active lava zone. The last base is ofcourse guarded by ANOTHER Sea Dragon Leviathan! And finally when you enter last base you will be exploring a bit probably as its huge.
After all that you will finally head to meet Sea Emperor.
To cut this short and without spoilers she will tell you that to give you the cure she needs for her babies to hatch. After that newborn sea emperors will puke out balls of light that will cure you of virus. After that you can freely escape.This means you`ll be sent on the fetch quest, which won`t be hard if you are obsessed with a game as much as I was (scaning everything in sight). After all that, finally after all that you`l be free to build your own spaceship which you acquired on aurora.
Now if you go back through the teleport before leaving planet, to where sea emperor is kept, you will see heart wrenching moment in this game as she`s drawing her last breaths. First time I ecountered this I was close to crying. You grew attached to the planet and creature`s there, not the character, but you the player. It`s hard to leave, at least it was for me back then. Also, emperor hatchlings will grow fast and you can see them in different locations before you leave, all grown up, so that`s something cool as well. Before launching there is unique feature in this game called time capsule. Basicly you can put whatever you want in the capsule and when you launch it, it will drop on to the planet for other players to find.
And as you fly away back to the closest system where you can be saved, Sea Emperor speaks to you one last time before she pass away, giving you one final message:
And with that, your adventure concludes. This game has been in early access for 3 years and I stayed as far away as possible so not to get spoiled, which I didn`t for the most part. I had wonderful experience playing through it the first time and would do anything to get that feeling again. Which I can`t say it will be the same for the next game: "Subnautica Below Zero". Which by the time I finished this website, it has already been out in early access.
For all of you who came this far and read through some part of this, thank you for your time. I know its a little lazily done, but its my first time and all that. So until next time, have a cuddle`s send you of!
