Under the sea you can visit Rapture
Ok I know it's unfair to compare this game to BioShock. They're different kinds of games that are doing very different kinds of things that happen to share an underwater setting. However, I don't think it's as strange to compare them as you might think. Besides the obvious aesthetic similarities, both games are 1st person with heavy horror elements about a wrecked underwater structure with all sorts of mad science going on. And although I won't get into spoiler territory, there are actually some similarities between the themese presented in both games stories. Here's the thing though, if I was going to compare these two games, BioShock delivers on pretty much all of it better than SOMA. Better aesthetics, better horror, better storytelling. This is a horror game from the makers of the Amnesia series, and I've never played the Amnesia games, but from what I've seen online, I feel like this game doesn't really deliver as well on the horror elements you might be expecting. I never really felt like the monsters that chase you were that scary, either in appearance or in what they could do. For the most part they're just an annoying hindrance rather than a terrifying foe, as the majority of the gameplay revolves around stumbling around the various areas trying to figure out what button to press or where to go to progress the story, with the monsters and having to stealth past them just being an obstacle to that. Storytelling wise I think the game is playing with some cool ideas, but they're executed poorly. (This is the intro to the game so I don't feel like it's a spoiler) you're given a medical brain scan and then wake up on a sunken underwater lab, so I felt pretty confident about how the story was going to go after that. Overall, if you're a fan of the genre you might enjoy it, but honestly I feel like I could've done with a miss on this one.
