I believe it is something to do with items in the sea truck storage module chests because after I removed most of the items I had in it, I stopped experiencing as much lag and stuttering. ### 4/5 — My report on Subnautica below zero *2026-06-03* There was a few issues that made it not a five star game for me because I tried getting gel sack seeds but when I tried getting the gel sacks when they got put into open water they phased through the ground also when I saved me game it took me back to when I was getting the snow fox which was 30 minutes before I saved these were pretty annoying since I had to scan all the items and get the gel sacks **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, it has been passed on to the team! ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-05-24, version 1.0.3* Graphics were really good and adventurous ### 5/5 — Extrem gut umgesetzt *2026-05-24* Läuft wirklich gut sowohl auf dem iPhone 17 Pro als auch auf dem iPad M4 Pro. Spiele es die meiste Zeit mit einem Xbox Controller am iPad, auf 60 Fps eingestellt und hoher Auflösung und es spielt sich einfach hervorragend! ### 5/5 — Incrível *2026-05-22* O jogo está maravilhoso, eu achei que por ser no telefone seria ruim porém foi muito boa a experiência ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-19, version 1.0.3* Again, they ported another Subnautica game to mobile, and they NAILED IT. I’ve always loved Subnautica, and to see come on mobile, is just crazy, CRAZY. Unknown Worlds you did an awesome job on this. 10000/10 👍 Also, please Subnautica 2 mobile too. ### 4/5 — Good but I’ve experienced one glitch *2026-05-18* Hi so I went to a part of land where there was some buildings and I went to explore them and this is where the glitch happened. Once I got to the bottom of the hill area I stepped on the snow and i instantly fell through the map. I was stuck under the snow and couldn’t get out. I was so annoyed.😒. Could you please fix this glitch for us. Thank’s. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-18, version 1.0.3* Love the weird penguin ### 5/5 — Smartphone *2026-05-16* Subnautica 2 also to apps pls ### 5/5 — 서브노티카 빌로우제로 *2026-05-16* 답변도 빠르고 친절한 갓겜이자 명작이자 역사에 길이 남을 고전🥰🥰😇😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏 **Developer response:** Yes you can use the console : pause the game, then press the top-left and top-right corners of the screen simultaneously. ### 5/5 — ТОП, Я ЖДАЛ *2026-05-14* Я вам уже писал под Subnautica, и купив эти две игры в сумме за 700 рублей меня обрадовало, это очень классная игра. Вы легендарная студия с легендарными играми. Ждем Subnautica 2 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-05-10, version 1.0.3* Just finished. Beautiful ending. Love the story adventure and horror! Wish it was longer, an amazing experience. ### 4/5 — LOVE IT *2026-05-04* The only issue I have if when I beat the game I was like wow but it felt like what!? Why is it the end I want to see were architects come from! Anyway great game hope you guys meke a second one were it takes place were architects come from! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 4/5 — All in all great port I think *2026-05-03, version 1.0.3* The price is a bit high I think. There are some fps drops on 13 pro max but that’s expected haha. The ui is nice works great with backbone. Would like to see a frame gen lmao, don’t know if it’s possible but that would definitely be a game changing experience:p Also I’d like to see ps buttons too:) ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2026-04-29* Simplesmente incrível, no aguardo do subnautica 2 sair no mobile também **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 4/5 — Survival Adventure at its Best *2026-04-25* Below Zero isn’t as good as the original game, but it scratches that itch for a while before you realize how small the map is. Regardless, it’s a fantastic sci-fi survival game that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The UI is great, the controls solid, and the base building is just as fun as Subnautica, it’s just more of a DLC than a full-fledged sequel. It’s a great franchise, and this is a solid entry. Well worth the price. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Please Fixed Bugs! *2026-04-22* У вас после обновления капли дождя стали огромными и проходят сквозь потолок **Developer response:** Hi, we're really sorry to hear that. Please don't hesitate to reach out through the in-game chat with as many details as possible and some screenshots or videos, and we'll do our very best to help! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game *2026-04-01, version 1.0.2* Could have been way better to many bugs overheats my phone where it’s not playable when it first came out it ran way smother on 60fps on my iPhone 13 now I can barely play it on 30fps lowest quality ### 1/5 — Nah… *2026-03-26, version 1.0.1* First one was better, this one just stinks. Like a smaller, easier to play version of the first, but for wimps who like annoying characters. Sea truck stinks, mods are useless, and the prawn suit has been ruined. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 2/5 — great game *2026-06-26, version 1.0.3* originally i would rate this 5 stars, as I LOVEE subnautica but recently, i cant play either games. it keeps me on the warning screen,and it sucks as i have no other way of playing subnautica. PLEASE FIX THIS GLITCH!!!! ### 2/5 — Takes up a chunk of storage *2026-05-01, version 1.0.3* Like the title says but I will say it can be fun just you need a chunk of free storage for it ### 2/5 — Amazing game! For people with full use of their hands, that is./Where is the ending??? *2026-03-19, version 1.0.1* As soon as you add in full stylus support, and it works, I will give this game five stars. Until then, my disability in my hands leaves me in too much pain to leave more than one star. Editing to add: I finished the game and in the very beginning, I thought it was amazing, astounding, as good as the original. Then I got to the part where I had to play above the water on solid land, and it was annoying and boring. Then I went deeper the way you do in the original game, and it lasted all of five minutes, and then all of a sudden the ending was there, and I was left thinking half the game was just never finished. You could have done so much more with this game, but the way it ended was like all your staff quit, except one, and they had to tie it all together with no story, no artists, and an ending that might have been created before, when there was a lot more game that was supposed to go between the middle of the game and the end of the game. What the heck? Did somebody else take it over and just decide to not finish it? I sure hope you put out some kind of DLC that makes the Subnautica part of it replayable, because that ending is something I would never play again. The whole second half of the game is something that just wasn’t worth the time or effort, because there was no second half of the game… You got to what seemed like it was supposed to be the middle, and then you just ended the game. Super disappointing. Even if you add stylus support at this point, you still wouldn’t get five stars from me unless you fix the second half of the game with whatever content was supposed to be there before whatever happened in your company that ruined it. Two stars instead of the three you got when I was still in the early part of the game. ### 2/5 — BUG *2026-03-10, version 1.0.1* Unable to enter the game ### 3/5 — What did I do to deserve this treatment?! *2026-07-04* Hello game devs of Subnautica below zero there was a problem about the trivalve that you need to fix before it happens again the problem is that when I had a trivalve which was normal at first but then later it just vanished so then I had to find the other egg please fix this if you don’t my second trivalve is going to vanish too. ### 3/5 — Good port, but one massive issue *2026-03-16, version 1.0.1* If you go down to the crystal caves, You will surely to die, If you go down to the crystal caves, You prawn will not survive, For what lives in the crystal caves, Will hold it til it is crushed That’s not the way it’s supposed to go, Down in the crystal caves (March 14th 2026) #NoSpoilers ### 3/5 — Amazing game! For people with full use of their hands, that is. *2026-03-16* As soon as you add in full stylus support, and it works, I will give this game five stars. Until then, my disability in my hands leaves me in too much pain to leave more than one star. ### 3/5 — Kann mit Subnautica mithalten, aber… *2026-03-12* Wenn man Kisten oder Spinde beschriften will, friert das Spiel ein; dann muss man neu starten; Autospeichern wurde bereits deaktiviert; das ist ärgerlich, daher nur 3 Sterne, sonst wären es vier, vielleicht gar 5 geworden. Kommt ja vielleicht noch. **Developer response:** Hi, we're really sorry to hear that. Please don't hesitate to reach out through the in-game chat with as many details as possible and some screenshots or videos, and we'll do our very best to help! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Casserole 🥘 dish with chicken 🐓 chili 🌶️ *2026-07-31* The game is grad season for me too but it’s still fun 🤩 and I’m not sure if it’s the same as the other game though but it’s definitely worth it ### 5/5 — Шикарный порт, шикарной серии игр *2026-06-27, version 1.0.3* Отличная оптимизация, не верится в то, что мы дожили до времени, когда можно играть на своем смартфоне в такие игры. Вас очень любят в России, ребятки, спасибо, что вы есть ### 5/5 — Can’t steer easily. *2026-06-25, version 1.0.3* On my snow fox it’s hard to steer, because I have turn my camera half way across my screen to steer. Great game though. ### 5/5 — Console Commands! *2026-06-16* I love this port, it basically has everything the original game has but honestly less bugs. I originally said console commands didn’t work, but just putting my fingers slightly lower on the screen than in the Subnautica port made them work (and now I feel stupid lol). Fantastic job by Unknown Worlds - cannot believe this is running on a phone. **Developer response:** You can access the console the same way, try to reposition your fingers ! ### 5/5 — Not a bad sequel. *2026-06-10* Areas are smaller and the land component was new, however the game was very satisfying. I would have liked to have known more of what occurred with the character from the 1st game but otherwise it was very enjoyable. That being said there were several audio bugs, msgs repeating or not popping up in areas where an action should have initiated a new msg or objective note. It was workable but I was forced to disable the audio rather than listen to 30 minutes of a repeating msg.. Apart from the audio bug the game has a nice added component of a companion or ongoing relation/conversation with an NPC..the sea truck was a nice addition, having a mobile supply/manufacturing set made life easier and added aspects to the gameplay that I felt were more enjoyable than the previous game, looking forward hopefully to subnautica 3 on the mobile **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTE CINEMA *2026-06-09, version 1.0.3* Best game ever worth buying Very good graphics Don’t set the graphics to very high. Trust me your house WILL burn down 😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — Very good port *2026-05-30* The game itself is very fun to play and I’ve caught myself staying on long after I thought I would stop after “one last task.” If this had been released without the original Subnautica, there would have been few complaints. Compared to Subnautica, the two stories in Below Zero can be a distraction. I’ve caught myself wondering which story I should resolve first. While the original has one main goal that you can focus on at your own pace. Map size is another issue. Below Zero has a smaller map. So exploring ends too quickly for me. But the designers did come up with fun biomes to explore. I downloaded this game aware of the faults, and I still enjoyed it. It’s not as engaging as the original, but it is still a fun game to play if you finished the original game, and still want to see more of the game world. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Fix some bugs: *2026-05-26* The game itself works well, but there are some bugs: sometimes the knife kick button gets stuck (it is pressed and then continues to do this action, although I don't press it), or the button to lift up. ### 5/5 — W GAME *2026-05-26* you can kidnap penguins and have pet whales, and there also ELDRITCH BEINGS THAT ARE 60 METERS LONG LIKE THE LAST GAME, suggest trying 1, 2 and below zero, also unknown worlds, when will subnautica 2 come to mobile, cause I like these games. Also there's a spot that mockups me out of the map somewhere near delta station dock in a ice worm trench **Developer response:** Penguins ♡ ### 5/5 — Bom dms *2026-05-24* Meu jogo preferido é o subnautuca below zero --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
