Frictional Games, developers of the hit horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its later sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, are back on the scene with their latest dark reality with SOMA. A departure from their prior games, SOMA is a science-fiction tale of a derelict and terror-riddled deep-sea station called Pathos-II. As one of the only remaining sentient inhabitants of the station, players must scour their way through ruined hallways, sunken ships, and even the depths of the oceans abyss to uncover the truth behind the mysterious projects underway.

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?

NWR: The ownership of portable gaming's biggest franchise isn't as twisted as Giovanni's Wild Ride. Last week's introduction of Pokémon Go was famously teased by The Pokémon Company as having "new company partnerships", which set off a brief torrent of speculation about what that could mean. Some people took it as a sign that Pokémon would be going all mobile going forward. In reality, it turned out to be an arrangement co-ordinated by the late Satoru Iwata to create an alternate reality Pokémon RPG for mobile, with the blessing of Nintendo.

GR: But dont let that, or the remedial monsters, put you off. Most of Somas strength is in its story and what happens to the people involved. This is a dark and deviant science fiction tale well worth a look thanks to some uncomfortable themes and concepts. And, at about 8 to 10-ish hours long, its a perfectly formed and satisfying experience to see through to conclusion. Seriously, that ending? Youll be digesting it months from now.

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.

Ive never played a game thats affected me as much as SOMA, and to be honest Im not sure I want to ever again, although Im very glad I did. It has the DNA of movies like Alien, 2001, Sunlight, and Event Horizon, with a splash of the original Dead Space and Bioshock, but brings plenty of new ideas to the table. It makes you think about what it means to be alive, and indeed how you classify life, and is a brilliant example of just how far video games have evolved.

When Destinys The Taken King expansion released on September 15th for PS4, and Xbox One, many looked at it as a crossroads for this nascent and embattled franchise. Some see it as a chance to tweak and fine tune what they already think is a righteous game; others might be inclined to look at The Taken King as one last chance to redeem a game they feel has been nothing but empty promises. Ask a dozen players what they think of Destiny, and youll get answers ranging from groundbreaking to forgettable. As with many questions like this, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
