Soma

Pros:

• Great story and interesting characters
• Great voice acting
• Amazing atmosphere
• Mind-blowing ending
• Great sound design
• Doesn't hold your hand

Cons:

• Gameplay is abit dull
• Movement is kinda sluggish
• Some tedious sections
• Some enemies feel like annoyances

Verdict: Soma will not be for everyone as it is a pretty slow-burn game with puzzle sections that many may find boring. Apart from some rough edges, the highly thought provoking story and ideas made this game something more interesting than just a usual walking simulator (which it does feel at times). A decent game to get if you're interested in an intriguing sci-fi story but don't mind some bland gameplay.

7.5 / 10.

This is one one of the best experiences I've ever had with any form of entertainment. I went into it expecting absolutely nothing and came out of it, asking myself serious questions about existence and humanity. That might sound ridiculous for a video game but honestly, the acting, the setting, the story progression. I was going to turn it off after about 15 minutes but as the story progresses, it became more and more engrossing. Everyone should play this game. Go in with blind and don't read anything before hand.

Outstanding with an extremely unique story and a nice gloomy atmosphere.

I thoroughly enjoyed my journey through SOMA. The storytelling was executed with near perfection, immersing players in a mind-boggling narrative that kept me engaged from start to finish. The depth of the story was remarkable, offering a unique and thought-provoking experience.

What truly stood out was the exceptional ending. It was nothing short of amazing, eliciting such intense emotions that I found myself almost screaming at my monitor. The conclusion was a masterstroke, leaving a lasting impact and prompting deep contemplation.

SOMA's atmospheric and immersive gameplay, combined with its intricate narrative, creates an unforgettable experience. Frictional Games has crafted a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling in video games. A definite recommendation for those seeking a captivating and emotionally charged gaming adventure. Kudos to the developers for delivering a game that leaves a lasting imprint on the player's mind.

What does it mean to be human? This horror/sci-fi game explores a future where the lines of humanity have been blurred for the sake of preservation of the species. But what constitutes as "saving humanity" in this story? I'm a little hesitant when it comes to playing horror type games, meaning on horror games without soul, story... But the story in SOMA and moral decisions and questions that were brought to the surface as I played through the SOMA game were very AMAZING and smart to me. AMAZING is small to say how i felt about this game. This game will make you think about what it means to "be human" and when is a human no longer a human? As you progress, each area of the game unveils a new layer to the story.

I didnt write review here about this game so I will now. The more you play the more you want to know what is going on, what is happening and why. As if I wasn't already thinking enough about life, universe and the number 42. Well done Frictional Games!

Deeply unsettling, thought provoking, evocative and marvelously written sci-fi. Mentioning anything about the story would ruin the experience and you really need to live it for yourself.

Great visuals, amazing sound design and brilliant characters. It makes you feel about characters, it makes you being sad, scared ,lost and keep asking yourself "are they safe,are they alive?". No bugs, no technical issues, perfect length to tell what it wants and it does it with a bang! This one embeds its tendrils in the recesses of your mind and stays there, probably forever.
