i was torn for the 1st game. (haven't got this one yet going to wait a few mos and play coop with my partner).
i love the idea of a pure science and exploration game. this is why i love things like kerbal space program and space engine. but the game wasn't about that. it was a battle for personal survival and to potentially save others. the science and exploration element was a side thing, sort of like when playing Cyberpunk 2077 and buying cars/dating Judy/being a merc vs trying to deal with the relic.
so of course my character would try to make actual, lethal defenses if possible against highly aggressive creatures (especially those fucking warpers). so eventually i got the blue-green laser mod, which would make sense i think as a sort of "weaponized tool". it wasn't particularly powerful and was more a deterrent, but i went hard against the warpers since they weren't actual native fauna.
so yeah, i think you should be able to at least have access to stun weapons/deterrents and i'm not sure if i like the idea that creatures are invincible. but then again i don't know the plot to Subnautica 2 and don't want to know yet
(also the first game teased you with a literal directed energy rifle sitting in an abandoned alien base and for some reason you just couldn't grab it. like, come on)
