The core focus of Worlds Part II is a comprehensive overhaul of underwater environments. Previously, the game's oceans and lakes lacked the draw to keep players engaged. Though they contained hidden resources and the option for base construction, they felt somewhat lackluster. Now, the transformation is striking.

The oceans have been deepened significantly, introducing realms of eternal darkness and intense pressure. Surviving these depths is a challenge, but the game now offers special suit modules to aid in exploration. A new pressure level indicator enhances the diving experience.

Darkness is no longer a barrier, as the underwater flora and fauna have evolved to emit their own light, with corals and creatures glowing vibrantly.

The lighting in shallower waters has also been revamped, resulting in breathtaking visuals.

Venturing deeper, players encounter larger and more menacing creatures, such as gigantic squids, adding a thrilling dimension to exploration.

With these enhancements, constructing underwater bases is now more rewarding, offering gameplay akin to that found in Subnautica.

New Planets

The update introduces hundreds of new star systems, including unique purple star systems. Here, players can explore new oceanic planets and gas giants.

Accessing these systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The effort pays off, as these systems house some of the game's best resources.

Like their real-world counterparts, gas giants in No Man's Sky have rocky cores. While landing on one would be deadly in reality, in-game, you can explore amidst constant storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures.
