Push Square: "SOMA's an interesting release that succeeds and stumbles in areas that we didn't expect it to. Indeed, given the developer's track record, we'd anticipated a terrifying title but while it has its eerie moments, it's a bit of a disappointment as a horror game. Where it's more successful is in its ability to depict the moral challenges of AI, and this subject matter results in some of the tougher decisions that we've seen in a game for a while. The plot is compelling, the presentation is generally very good, and the conclusion is outstanding. But all of these achievements will be tempered if you're looking for the kind of scares that defined Amnesia: The Dark Descent."

The survival horror genre experienced a slump of sorts last gen, with classic IPs struggling to find their footing on the newly released consoles. Standout newcomers to the genre were few and far between, and on PC, it was a similar case. That was until Amnesia: The Dark Descent released. Developed by Frictional Games, known prior for their Penumbra series, The Dark Descent was a huge success for the independent developer and sparked a fire in the survival horror genre for years to come. With that, Frictional Games has a lot to live up to with their first new game since The Dark Descent. Having their most successful title looming over their head and A Machine For Pigs as a fickle reminder of how unreceptive fans may be to change, will SOMA be the next champion in the genre? Queue the review.

SOMA is an ambitious work of science fiction which grapples with fundamental questions of consciousness, identity, and the relationship between the mind and the body. It feels weighty but never dry or ponderous thanks to an engaging and surprising story. But SOMA is also a work of survival horror, and in this regard slightly less successful. While the scares are unquestionably intense and terrifying Id expect nothing less from the developer behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent the puzzle-solving and exploration elements are much less memorable and produce some unfortunate pacing problems.

NL: Fans of Kid Icarus had to endure a long and painful wait between the original NES and Game Boy titles and the eventual 3DS update, but had Star Wars: Rogue Squadron studio Factor 5 had its way, we would have been playing a sequel a little bit sooner. Unseen 64 staffer and occasional Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson has published an in-depth video which looks at the history of Factor 5's unreleased Kid Icarus pitch. The studio became involved with the project off the back of its work on the aforementioned Nintendo exclusive Rogue Squadron franchise, and early concept art reveals a much darker and more mature tone than previous titles in the series.
