The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Alardem]

Obsessing over hunting down and stockpiling collectibles like a mad squirrel detract from the experience of being scared. Part of it was the sheer ineffectiveness and arbitrary nature of Daniel's "insanity" - Mandus' distorted perspective of the world was, personally, more effective because the player does not have control over what he hallucinates.

I do wonder how the health system of Soma will work. If healing items are to be featured, then there should not be any form of automatically regenerating health as that renders the aforementioned items redundant. If regenerating health does get featured, then it should be extremely slow and debilitating to the player. A Machine For Pigs featured health that regenerated so fast that you could be hit about half a dozen times in a chase and still survive.
