Because that would tell me pretty much everything I need to know... Click to expand...

I think most seem to be comparing it to Penumbra. But it would depend also on what you didn't like about AMFP.The only comparisons to Machine for Pigs I've seen are in terms of the narration/story and the fact that there is no inventory management.Regardless, it is clear that Frictional themselves have stated they didn't want SOMA to be another "run and hide" game and want the Horror to be something that gets under your skin and gets your imagination running as to what is lurking around you. I suppose that's different than AMFP since that game showed you the Horror straight up in your face (which in a way detracted from it since once you saw the manpigs up close you pitied them more than were afraid of them).So far though, I'm liking what I see. It especially is encouraging to hear the sound design is amazing and up to the levels of Alien Isolation
