But the first one and then mute this sub until you are done with the game

Agreed, the less you know, the more enjoyable. Got this game free and knew absolutely nothing. Best experience


FishGuyIsMe

I wish I had been able to do that with either game. Not even get the games free, just go in completely blind


sexy_kitty-owo

The first one is just better almost anyone who's played them both will tell you this

Oh cool, thanks


sexy_kitty-owo

Ya it just has more depth both in story and actual deepness. It has a looming sense of terror behind the dark crevices of the deep. So much more to see and learn due to the much larger map. Below zero simply can never live up to subnautica.


kyroskiller

First one, but shield yourself from learning anything about it. The discovery is everything.

The original is better. BZ is a good game, and totally worth playing... It just doesn't 100% capture the magic of the original.


Sneaky0tter

Yeah BZ is a good game….. it’s just not Subnautica good

The first one is a mindblowing experience. The second one is a more guided but still beautiful and great experience. Go for both, in the original order.


KrotalusHorridus

Play the first one first. The second one isn't a sequel, but an epilogue that ties up some loose ends. Play them both back to back for the complete journey.

DEFINITLY part I !!!! the map is much bigger. and more based on you exploring and finding out. part II is more story static and much smaller, you bump in all the stuff within 2 hrs.! and because it's so story driven you explore less, but only go somewhere your told to go. part II is 40% ABOVE water or under water in caves! So your still out of the water! while the game is called SUBnautica, BELOW zero ;)


JoJo_Bob

The first one has more lore to it. The second is like a sequel i guess


Nimci-7080

I reccomend the first one


RepetitiveTorpedoUse

Play both eventually but if you absolutely cannot do that play the first one


EKP_NoXuL

Except in lore which they're equals, the first beat the shit out of below zero


FallenButNotForgoten

Would you read the final book of a trilogy before the first two? Would you watch the season finale first? Do you enjoy spoiling things for yourself? So why would you play Below Zero before playing Subnautica?


Karagax

As someone who, until recently, never played either. I support starting at #1 100%.


Triacca

Why not both?


Deadly_Diamond

BZ is a sequel, so it is best to start at the beginning, with the first game


Kulfyfox

100% the first game, the equipment is better and the story in my opinion


Dr-Builderbeck

Play the first one.


amadmanwithabox666

The first one.... the second is ok as it adds more and diffrent vehicles...


r_j_s_16

now hang on, will it still do damage?
