All I managed in my first 90 minutes was to die from dehydration 5 times and taking The Aurora's radioactive core explosion to the face. I am proud of my achievements.

You have no idea how great the timing of this is, only just started playing today so this is greatly appreciated, thank you Strife!

What you want to do in Survival: Build vehicles and explore
What your actually doing: *spending hours looking for Fragments*

Played for a few hours now and I absolutely love the game! A tip from a newbie here: Try and read about the fish after you've scanned them and notice how they move/attack. You need tactics to avoid dying (or at least I do or I die all the time lol). For instance, the kamikaze sulphur fish is terrible at turning and you can't always outswim it - making a quick turn will absolutely throw it off. Man I love strategy and not just big weapons... This game is good!

I did not realize what I’m getting myself into, this games much bigger than I thought.

[jweezy]

Who else is here because of the “play at home” campaign from Sony?

[Angel-wipu]

This game is better enjoyed with headphones. You really feel like you’re in that water.

[danishcannoli]

This game looks so cool but like I’m terrified of open water this game is my biggest nightmare lol

[boomer]

I was totally swimming blind in this game till now.

Stalkers appearing right in front of your escape pod on the first start of a new save is literally the scariest thing you can get in the safe shallows (only if you didnt spawn a reaper in that)

[soulcampbell]

This game makes me feel anxious af! Don’t know if I’ll continue spending hours looking for a freaking metal...

[jesse]

Jesus, knowing where to find sulfur would've saved me hours.

Feels like it's been a while. Been a fan since the Link days. Keep it up man. Looking forward to watching more.

It's pretty easy to avoid the leviathan attacks, when he wants to attack you, and it is actually nearby you trying to bite you just use your seaglide and go down his face so that he misses you and then he starts recharging the attack.

I had over an hour in my world and basically did nothing but you let me make more progress in 20 min than I did in 1 and a half hours!!!

I just started playing this game, and needed some basic guidance. I watched three other YouTube videos that "claimed" to have "beginner tips" before I found this one, and I must say yours is BY FAR the best. On my own, in Survival mode I was able to learn the basic game mechanics, determine how to gather resources, convert water, etc. and use the fabricator, but did not have a direction or plan. Your video gave me a good idea on how to progress. Thank you!

[subtlewill]

Such a relief that there's a Well structured and clear guide somewhere on YouTube. Gj

[marcoamazo]

despite knowing this stuff already, its nice watching a vid about it since its been a little while

[Armuotas]

Important note: Quartz is NOT recoverable when you dismantle the hatch (let's say you wanted to move it). You might end up not being able to enter your base! So be sure not to turn it all into glass beforehand. Learn from my noobie mistake. ;)
