Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

[PathOS]

Hmm, it may be a small sample size. But at least nobody voted for the "Not Scary and Very Easy" option.

Clearly people like the Monster Designs and there's just a disagreement on how well they were utilized. But that is such a tricky thing to get right, because I for one do not like constant "hiding" and then running from Monster gameplay or trying to sneak/crouch past them, yet some other people may love that sort of thing.

So for me the monsters were handled mostly well. I somehow avoided the trouble with Yoshida in Tau because I managed to hide in an office behind a desk where he seemed not to notice me at all, and I'd managed to open the second door beforehand so I just ran like hell through it when I felt he was somewhat far away.

I think SOMA's focus on the Environment was extremely successful, and I think trying to incorporate the monsters better within said detailed environment would be the way to go.
