I just looked up the gameās length and it is actually twice as long as I anticipated (darn you A Machine For Pigs for at least being brief and skewing expectations) soā¦ I hope it wins me over at some point?
My main thought at the two or so hour mark is that I wish I had played in safe mode.
As the guy that only kind of liked Soma if you donāt like it now you can stop immediately.

yeah quake champions puts bots in your first few games without indication, seems to be a trend
I was assuming I was matched up with 6 year olds or whatever in Bronze V, so I wasnāt too far off I guess
I just had a dream where I was at a fancy restaurant and Shirley Temple sat at the table next to mine, so I made an ass of myself by asking her if she had her own official Fortnite skin.

it took me about three days to platinum out Timespinner.
i wanma write more but this gsme really did succesfully condense the most fun and crunchiest aspects of the DS castlevania games, particularly Order of Ecclesia.
there is a song that is such a rip off of Wood Carving Partita in it that itād make Diplo blush

I disagree. I think it starts slow but really picks up at 2 hours
Safe mode does own, though

Jesus christ, I was putting off finally finding Ciri and triggering the gang-back-together defense of Kaer Morhen because I was positive it had to be the end of the story, and Iāve played through it and it is definitely not. Witcher 3ās base game is a fully written and plotted endless mode

My reaction too. Itās insane and that they stick the landing is even crazier
what if they just get destroyed by the bots?

FWIW, unless a game is outright dreadful if I decide it looks moderately intriguing enough to start and isnāt more than 10 or so hours long Iāll basically see it through no matter what, because Iām a schmuck. That said, when done with SOMA Iāll let you know which of you two I should have listened to in a better world.

Soma is genuinely excellent imo I just never quite got on with the actual challenging parts, thereās a fully underwater space with a lot of monsters in it about half to 2/3 of the way into the game that took some real pushing through for me

Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again: SOMA is fantastic and it deftly handles very interesting themes Iāve never seen in any other video game.

I enjoyed the creatures and their being a hindrance, but there is one area stretch (I think Felixās mentioning) which felt like a concentrated exercise in sprint and hide, that just wears on a little too long.
Very few sci-fi horror games have left me with even trace feelings like this got to dredging up; horrifying realizations, Iāll never forget sinking in that brought bits of IHNMAIMS to mindā¦much more gravely.

That long stretch in the end was marvelous to me; I was tired of it just before that point, in the basement of the building, when the game felt like it was falling into a pattern of outdoor to new area->explore->monster avoid->repeat; the pace-breaking condensed stretch near the end which afforded me no time to explore and broke all my nook and cranny tendencies elicited the feeling of a running in panic dream and I loved it.
Unfortunately the grand conceit didnāt work on me as novel or horrific but I appreciate it for the care and craft with which they pulled it off.

I agree overall what it was in the moment and the context of pacing, mightāve been that the design itself grew a little routine so slightly exhausting in another sense.
Iād really like to replay SOMA, went through in a couple sessions with my ex and we both loved it but as a solo thing, headphones and isolation, seems worth it
Love and Destroy is fucking awesome. Oh my god how did I only pay 5 dollars for this game. This is the kind of thing thatās worth $150 and talked about in hushed whispers.
It is a 60fps 3D Mech action game where you stomp and destroy Japanese Urbanscapes while blasting hellmonsters and it is a quick time dating sim with three highschool girl robot android navigators. Choose your girl that decides your three very different robits.
Holy Shit this game rules.
