I find Subnautica has less replayability than other survival games since the map and questline is static. Once you know where everything is and you've seen all the plot beats there's not much reason to play the game again unless you want to challenge yourself with a speedrun or, as you said, one of the harder difficulties.
I wouldn't consider creative mode or sandbox mode to be a core part of the game. They're great for fucking around or as an extended tutorial, but I see them more as external tools than as part of the game experience proper.
For me the story really drew me in. It was like watching Terminator 1 and 2 for the first time - you had no idea where it was going but it was going to be awesome.
I have watched both movies again, and while they are great they don’t hit the same as the first time.
