The music is absolutely fantastic and adds a lot to the atmosphere. The human parts are more puzzle than anything but it struggles here as it slows the pace, has small hard to see interactions and clunky controls. At set points, you get to play as a human and explore the carnage you left behind from the monster, I say it all like this as the story is not actually there and you kind of interpret it how you like. As a monster with many mouths and many tentacles, you slide all around the place, you break open containment canisters to get new abilities and grow, this then opens up the game that shows you have not only combat with ever-increasing enemies but you also have puzzle elements. You then get to go around the vents and smash the place up and kill humans! What I can’t describe properly is just how well it plays and fluid you move around. You get to play as a creature that was created? In a lab and break out.
