When I think of Subnautica, I just remember having to drink water like every 5 minutes or so. I would have loved to explore, but I was busy getting basic resources all the time.
You can play on a mode without survival mechanics, or find the water filtration system and grow plants from the islands on your cyclops to trivialize them. Before you get there though they’re kind of a pain.
That was another reason, yes. Apparently you’re supposed to find the parts to the water filtration system relatively early in the game, and it will regularly spit out large bottles of water that help a lot. I didn’t. So yeah, for 90% of the game I’m having to periodically chase Bladderfish for 5m so I can spend 2 minutes spam crafting a bunch of waters, so i can carry several around with me, taking up valuable space in my inventory.

The game does have a freedom mode where you don’t need to worry about food or water.
But then there’s no challenge, so it gets boring.
I wanted to like subnautica, but I just couldn’t.
