SOMA (Xbox One) Review

SOMA (Xbox One) Review

, , , , 0

Soma has been available to players for a long time, as long as you owned a relatively powerful PC or PlayStation 4. Xbox One players have had to wait until now to get their hands on the horror title. The issue is whether the game holds up on this platform and if it was worth the rather long wait. The game largely shares the same mechanics of Frictional Games previous, and highly acclaimed, title Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The player is not really expected to fight enemies but try to hide from them. The real major difference between the two games is that Soma has had a dramatic shift in setting to an underwater facility. After some rather nefarious research, horrific monsters have been left to roam around the abandoned structures whilst you try to explore. Considering that Soma was first released way back in 2015, a lot of people will already be very familiar with its mechanics and the general gameplay. What they might not know about is the

Frictional Games and Imagos Films have announced the launch of a new live-action video series based on the new hit first-person, survival, sci-fi video game SOMA. The new SOMA web series will dive deeper into the world of the game, and hint at what exactly happened on PATHOS-II. You can check out the first four Transmissions for the new SOMA web series below. A new episode of the web series will be released on the Frictional Games YouTube channel through October 5. It is pretty clear that Frictional Games hit it out of the park with SOMA. The publisher and developer recently revealed on the company’s official blog that the game has sold over 92,000 copies across PlayStation 4 and Windows PC. By comparison, Frictional’s first hit, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, sold only 30,000 in its first month of release. Amnesia’s sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, sold 120,00 in its first week of release. Not only that, the game has been getting tremendous reviews. Currently, SOMA has a MetaCritic rating

About two weeks ago, Frictional Games announced the details and released a new, long-awaited launch trailer for the upcoming, new, first-person survival horror game SOMA. The video looked certainly creepy and unsettling. Now, Frictional Games has released the E3 trailer for the game ahead of next week’s convention, where SOMA will be on display and playable for the first time. The latest trailer definitely looks to up the creepiness and terror factor for the upcoming sci-fi horror game, which is being developed by the creators of the Amnesia and Penumbra series. The story is set in what appears to be an underwater facility called PATHOS-2. Communications on the facility have gone dark, and key personnel are missing or have been declared dead in the preceding weeks. The machines in the facility are starting to act strange, almost like they are human. The voice-over narration from the new trailer almost gives the sense that perhaps the main protagonist is also “dead,” or rather a robot who has taken on the personality of

After a very interesting viral marketing campaign and the release of some curious live-action videos, Frictional Games has released the first gameplay trailer for the new survival horror game SOMA. In addition, the studio behind such genre-defining titles as Amnesia and Penumbra revealed the launch details for the game. SOMA will be available exclusively for PlayStation 4 and Windows PC on September 22. The story is set in what appears to be an underwater facility called PATHOS-2. Communications on the facility have gone dark, and key personnel are missing or have been declared dead in the preceding weeks. The machines in the facility are starting to act strange, almost like they are human. One of the viral videos showed a robot that seemed to think it was one of the human staff members of the facility. The game looks to be an interesting mix of Alien and The Abyss. In the video, the protagonist, who calls himself Simon, stumbles upon some sort of robot from the facility. However, this robot
