As good as people say?

>strangely very scary,even for someone that doesn't fear the ocean or open sea
i don't know why but i felt the exact opposite playing the game, i thought i would hate it because sea things freak me out but the only thing that actually scares me is the edge of the map

Buy a tesla
Yeah the game is god tier in VR as well, and it wasn't designed for it either, just happens to have a very natural fit. My only gripe was its a bit easy to miss out on a building you need and end up looking online where a part is while wasting 5 hours looking for a fucking cyclops engine. Buy the game its worth it.

>the only thing that actually scares me is the edge of the map
try jumping down in a prawn

yes

Yeah.
The only thing that sucks is the Sea Dragon. It's ugly, it's silly, it's buggy and doesn't work, and it's just not scary. Ruins the endgame.
The other 95% of the game before you ever see those fuckers is great though.

Which building are you talking about? I just got my first vessel, did some spelunking in the crashed ship and went to the floating island and the land where the rescue ship is supposed to be landing.

I couldn't find a modification station or my last moonpool for awhile, I also had a hard time finding upgrades for depth to go 1700m and get the alien batteries without looking up info online, the game up to that point feeds you a steady stream of "go to place and get technology" so it feels jarring when you are stuck and have no clue where you're supposed to look for depth upgrades.

It's quite atmospheric at times and goes all in on exploration in a way lots of games don't. Avoid reading too much about the game and just start playing, discovering things for yourself is where most of the fun comes from. On the negative side, most gameplay is more or less predicated on fetching items and crafting to progress, which you may find boring quite quickly. The feeling of isolation whilst exploring new biomes and seeing far off silhouettes is where the game shines.

Okay, I'm nowhere near any of that business. I guess I just have to wait for the rescue ship to get shot down, and go from there.

This game is worth every penny. Also, it is a fake horror game, you are never truly in danger even with the scariest leviathans. Just power engine down, take a break, and watch the sea dragon swim around for a bit.

The locations of scannable items are randomized when you start up a new game. While the general areas are fixed, it can still be hard to find the stuff you need without just scouring every environment for wrecks to explore.
Always carry a couple of beacons when you explore, and mark any wrecks you find, as well as the Sea Treader area, and the locations with the creepy white kelp (you'll know it when you see it).
Don't build a base in the shallows, it makes it hard to get to with the larger vehicles later on

Pretty good, badly optimized. Try to build the Seamoth as quick as you can, will save you a lot of time and lets you explore further and faster.

Make sure you get diamonds from the cave you find near there, it is easier to stock up on them for laser cutter/prawn suit. The feeling of getting in my prawn suit the first time was the hardest erection.

Any games like it? No other game I played managed to replicate the same feel.

>Tether Grabbed the Ghost Leviathan Juvie in the Lost River and started grinding it's guts with the Prawn Suit Drill Arm.
>Grinning like an idiot the entire time until it finally dies and just floats there
>Turn around to see all the eels looking at what I've done and just beg them to start shit.
The Prawn Suit was an impossible amount of fun.

It's okay. The exploring part is fun, the story is passable, and the devs really made the ocean feel inhabited and dangerous. On the flip side, the building aspect is pretty lackluster, as there is no real planning involved and you could pretty much put the buildings whereever. The "quests" were also awful, literally all of them were fetch quests. The portion of the game sucked shit because of it.

6-7/10, it's okay.

i really think those end game ships are absolute trash.

The last*

I'm looking for similar games, will AquaNox scratch my itch?

Bad take, there weren't enough spots to take the cyclops, not that the cyclops itself was bad. Functionally it was the best vehicle and the most aesthetic considering the game was originally just piloting a sub.

I found a way of running my own vanilla wow server but when you're using teleports and such, it's really easy to end up far above/below the map and it really gets to me for some reason in the same way as the edge of the sea does

even after I realised the reapers were complete retards that could never realistically harm me I still shit bricks whenever I heard or saw them.

Cyclops is among the coolest vehicles in all of vidya but its enjoyment is severely dragged down by the fact that you only really need it for tiny laval zone.

Is sequel any good?

Depends. Do people say it's pretty good?

Yes but wait to get it till they fix VA and other early access bugs. The Seatruck is your earlygame vehicle and it has a backup camera lol.

I heard it's a disaster but I haven't played it myself.

The early and mid game is great and then it falls off the cliff towards the end and gets super linear, the game even sends you on a fetch quest near the end, don't go too fast if you don't have a great computer because the game leads slow as shit and you can get stuck in terrain and fuck yourself over
