  I was thinking what is the key difference that made BZ less enjoyable that the first game: I think it's the fact that in the first game the player is a clueless fragile thing thrown in a hostile and alien world with frightening creatures and a large degree of freedom when dealing with advancing the game or just playing it as a sandbox.
  The fact that there were clues spread out in the ocean and it was my choice if I wanted to pursue them first or build some vehicle or base, felt like I had a lot of agency. Plus, moving towards a new biome was always very tense as I had no clue what was waiting there.

  Because BZ has a better structured story, I often felt forced to follow the beats that it was demanding, but also I think the key issue was that I knew Subnautica so well, all the dread, mystery and sense of wonder was no longer there.

  At the end of the day I enjoyed Below Zero, but I wanted to repeat my Subnautica experience and it failed to reproduce it.

  For me those stats are very low, can I roll perception instead?

  Don't look into a digital deluxe horse's mouth.

  Cuz it doesn't have one.

  Thanks! I'll definitely check it. I'm just mad at how the whole internet thing is evolving.

  That's them filtering VPN ips. If you try jumping to a lesser used server, you'll probably see the site working.

  Recently, most internet sites and especially those relying in cloudflare are filtering VPNs, and often blacklisting IPs just because it hurts their bottom-line.
