Snowfox is the most infuriating, horrible driving and sickness inducing vehicule I've ever driven in a game making traversal and exploration of these section a nightmare. You need to get the cold suit but die of cold duirng Robopenguin operations.
I honestly hated the on foot Glacier biome, the Phi Robotic Base, cold management and snowfox section. I don't think I ever found a recipe for the chip slot for example. Weird tools decisions like the headlamp taking rebreather slot, why. Much more freedom, can have a more straight forward experience. More open progression, not so much mandatory tech / building requierements. No longer need to go back to base as much. Tons of great new idea overall like the fabricator module on the seatruck is a genius idea.
The immersion, feeling of discovery, curiosity vs danger, exploration with the music, the art direction of the biomes, the feeling of discovering something new, that cave entrance, a second pathway to somewhere.
