Here you go everyone - September's video: a Critique of SOMA!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xDnnAkCAg&ab_channel=MontyZander

Not sure if I'm alone in how much I love this game (or if many of you have played it) but if you liked the Bioshock Critiques or the Forgotten City critique, we're taking the same sort of approach - looking at the game, but mainly breaking down its philosophies.

Public release is uncertain - I have Zoltiboi working on a cooler thumbnail as we speak because I don't love the one I've done. Might be tomorrow, might be next week! But this version will remain ad-free indefinitely for you regardless.

Thanks!

SOMA Critique - Anatomy of the Soul (Patreon Version)

SOMA splits the atom of the soul, dissects it, and scatters its questions into the ocean for us to gobble up like guppies. But that scattering isn’t aimless. It’s targeted, specific, and conditions the player to internalise its horror and carry it with them after the credits roll. *LORE DUMP* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpQZr3eT3KY&t=3287s&ab_channel=LoreDump Thumbnail by Zoltiboi https://twitter.com/zoltiboi *MERCH* https://monty-zander.myspreadshop.co.uk/noobus+humanus?collection=qRRSshxeWA *TWITTER* https://twitter.com/MontyZander *PATREON* https://www.patreon.com/montyzander *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:46 - Part 1: Conditioning Fear 00:20:10 - Interlude: Carl Semken 00:28:42 - Part 2: Feast Your Eyes 00:45:15 - Interlude: Robin Bass 00:53:47 - Part 3: Taking the World Seriously 01:06:28 - Interlude: Brandon Wan 01:15:39 - Part 4: What If 01:28:30 - Interlude: Simon-2 01:37:00 - Part 5: The Abyss 01:48:42 - Interlude: The WAU 01:56:45 - Part 6: Eternity Among the Stars *BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT CRITIQUE - LEGACY OF THE BAT* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rruHbLSDTRo&t=3640s&ab_channel=MontyZander *FOOTAGE/REFERENCES* Reference list to follow later today *MUSIC (in order of use)* -Licenced by Artlist- Music list to follow later today

Played a LOT of this game. Quit when we were exploring the sea floor and we come across a chess game on some PCs. After doing scripted chase sequences in ship ruins. This will be my way of finishing the game lol

I've watched like 20 of your videos and this one finally pushed me over to the Patreon. Consider this 1-year Patreon subscription my standing ovation. A thought-provoking video that's a wonderful companion to this incredible game.
