Imo below Zero has the same problem that subnautica 2 will have aswell. Our stupid pattern seeking brain i so good at its job the enviroment will matches to existing experinces and therefore loose its intended alien nature. Just having some meta knowledge with how the game handle difficulty and depth and how a lush biome is more or less save with just a minor predator is working against the intended alien nature. Below Zero had some incredible bioms with mayor layers of depth like the lilypads islands with surfacing, floating and growing lilypads. But most of the bioms had some subtle telling of how the are intended in their color Palette or choice of Vegetation where i knew how the biome will be before i went info it.

There are just so many good games coming out. Its really a struggle to even play a Part of them

And im so freaking glad it does. It seemed like a passion project with an incredible art direction, but to learn its also a stellar game is so satisfying.
