Even the Alterra PDA's voice delivers more quips than in the original. On the whole, Below Zero's narrative feels more humorous and warmhearted than Subnautica, slightly dulling the player's sense of desperation, horror, and dread. The benefit of this trade is that mundane resource hunting runs-a frequent activity in Subnautica-are more memorable and enjoyable. The presence of voice could be considered a double-edged sword, as having a character comment on her environment as she explores 4546B's seas alleviates the oppressive sense of isolation that was present in the original game. The voice acting in Below Zero is expressive and sharp, and Robin is a determined, well-written character who will likely win over gamers with her relatable wit and kind nature.
