This game astounded me beyond belief. After seeing their amazing work in the Amnesia series, this is even better than the amazing horror that I originally expected from this new installment from Frictional Games.
What makes this game so amazing is the games strong and recurring horror elements throughout. The mix of terrifying creatures and the tense atmosphere creates an amazing platform for a truly scary experience. The whole idea that taking Simon's brain scan and implanting it into an AI to replace the human body for survival purposes is quiet intriguing, and also terrifying itself.
A truly heartfelt story adds to this game's amazing plot and overall experience. The fact that the story is based on the idea that "accepting what must be done to survive, especially when it comes to the survival of the human race," is what Simon must overcome in order to survive the horrors that haunt the deep sea station.
The only thing I criticize is the design of the mechanized monsters that chase Simon throughout the game. They seem lanky, top heavy, and overall too slow for them to be truly scary. They do create a good sense of dread and tensity, especially in dark places.
Besides a few design flaws with the game, the overall finished project is a story that makes you think about the true envy of immortality and survival, trusting your instincts, and choosing which path to follow.
