Review title of FluxCapaciter20 Rock Solid

The gameplay is simplistic, yet highly engaging, placing heavy emphasis on environmental puzzles and exploration. The world is just absurd enough to be wholly believable, and allowed me a really great sense of immersion. The claustrophobic and frantic design of the horror here was definitely able to raise my heart rate once or twice, but I hardly felt a lasting sense of dread thanks to the overall pacing and some more peaceful AI interactions. The story is a lot of fun, but in my opinion, maybe just a touch less profound and brilliant than some would claim. I understand what the developers were going for with respect to the story here (which I of course won't spoil), and like I said, there's a ton to like, I just personally came away with a grievance or two. Overall, I say this is an engaging and somewhat unique experience, and if you see SOMA on sale then I give it a hearty recommendation.
