To put that into perspective, that’s half the length of a football field (which is 360 feet), around ten times the size of the average car, and definitely bigger than your tiny human body.Īlthough curiosity was getting the best of me, I managed to fight off the urge to interact with such a creature–especially when I went closer to the creature’s last known location (literally right in front of me, barely outside of my murky vision), and the beast was gone.

Reaper Leviathans are 55 meters long, which translates into a length of 180 feet. That’s when I saw it: the mighty Reaper Leviathan. Unfortunately for me, I never looked to my left, so instead of being on the edge of the Crash zone, I was directly in the middle of it. I didn’t even know I was in the Crash zone, either! I thought I was in the Dunes! Granted, the Dunes are dangerous as well, but I was keen on staying on the edge of said biome. If you’ve seen any content about the Crash zone, you’ll probably immediately cringe at the fact that I went in there unprepared. The Aurora Crash zone is a minefield (metaphorically). Since I somehow thought I was in the Dunes, I continued through the Crag field and went into the Crash Zone. I made a left, taking me into the Crag Field. I wanted to go to the Dunes, which would be to the right of the floating islands. After going to a landmark (the floating islands), I made a disastrous mistake, though. I did a bit of an internet search and found a map of the game’s land. However, on this occasion, I decided that I would go adventuring. I am usually cautious in Subnautica: I don’t want to die (even though, from a game play standpoint, dying has one of the nicest setbacks I’ve seen in a survival series), so I play very safely. Having said that, exploration is very dangerous, and the further you get out from your starting point, the more danger you’ll encounter. As a survival exploration game, the game is all about surveying your surroundings to find ways to stay alive and improving your quality of life. Some are safe to be around, most want to kill you, and they all impact your gameplay in some way.
#SUBNAUTICA REAPER LEVIATHAN FULL#
Subnautica takes place on an alien planet named 4546B, a “land” (or, well, gigantic body of water) full of unknown creatures.

The game is good for giving its fans newfound fears of the ocean that much I can say for sure. It’s a stunning game, which can switch from “beautiful surroundings I’m glad to be a part of” to “I need an extra change of pants and a hug” on a coin flip. If you’ve never heard of Unknown Worlds Entertainment (a fitting name for the company when you look at its recent game series), I would recommend checking out a lovely horror game: Subnautica.
