With full voice acting, NPC interactions, and a defined set of narrative beats, the expansion offers a survival experience that's more choreographed in structure, and – to its credit – that's not an entirely bad thing. Subnautica: Below Zero goes in the other direction, pushing its plot to the front of your adventures at the expense of letting the miasmic mysteries of its world tell its own stories.
Sure, it's interesting to learn about the true nature of your stranding on this planet, but narrowly escaping a Reaper, or first setting eyes upon a pod of Feedback Whales… these were the experiences that kept me coming back. The answers to those questions are slowly drip-fed to the player through their own discoveries, but that larger narrative is backgrounded against the more immediate and compelling watercooler moments drawn from exploring Subnautica's world.
