RE: Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

The encounter in the large maze like area in Theta iwas not only the highlight of the game but possibly one of the 2-3 best monster encounters I've ever had.

The chase sequence in the Curie def got my heart rate up. I had a perfect experience here as I remembered exactly where to go and was able to sprint through w/o getting caught. Because of this, I don't know if it can be annoying, butost encounters like this tend to be annoying after you fail even once.

All of the rest of the encounters were pretty unremarkable except:

Yoshida in the diving suit in Tau. He was pretty creepy but he did his job a little too well and made exploration impossible. A good encounter turned bad.

All that said, I have to add: I hope you don't take the mixed to negative reaction about monsters too seriously. What SOMA did well, and better than any game I've ever played, is environmental storytelling. Please, please, don't ever stop focusing on this. Every puzzle and story beat felt diagetic and natural and I can't say that about any other horror game I've ever played
