RE: Favourite section of the game? *SPOILERS*

As much as it dragged on towards the end, I have to say Theta nailed its atmosphere ding-on and was easily the most tense part of the game for me. Everything beforehand was unsettling, but didn't strike the same chord of dread I got when opening that door to that big circular tunnel right after the entrance hall. Everything about it was super uncomfortable, I didn't even really feel safe in the living quarters.

Coupling the environment with a terrifying enemy (both really, they're basically the same aside from music and model), and probably one of the most interesting parts of the story really led to Theta feeling like the peak of the game. Not to say Omicron and onwards were not as good, they just couldn't match the massive impact Theta had on the game imo. The Abyss did really well though as well, it's probably the most memorable in my opinion as far as unique and fresh environments go, but Theta still takes the cake for what part of the game I'd encapsulate SOMA with.
