What makes us human? Indeed, what...

I thought that this game will be some cheap gore horror game, but I was so wrong! It has an intriguing story, beautiful visuals (I particularly liked the underwater environments) and it brings out some pretty deep philosophical questions. The horror is not so much on the physical level (yes, there are monsters; but for me there was something worse). The true horror is psychological and it gradually rises as you play through the game and realize the truth of your existence and of the mankind. Not that the visuals are lacking, the weird organic growths overtaking the human bodies are a thing to behold and turn your stomach. The ending was maybe a bit rushed in my opinion, a lot of things happening in a quick succesion, but still very powerful. I really recommend this game.

Fantastic story

+Excellent story which delves into the Human Psyche and asks interesting questions about what it is to be human +Excellent characters with believable personalities and compelling backstories +Creepy atmosphere with a lived in world to base it on -Monsters are more of a nuisance then a threat -Monsters discourage exploration where most of the backstory could be hidden -Game can freeze when it’s loading a new area. Overview: Soma is a dark science fiction game with a bleak but sombering story which delves into to what it means to be human. Unfortunately it is held back by a series of monsters which act more like a nuisance then a scary threat.

Different :)

SOMA is an intriguing game. Starts a bit slow, but when you get into the feel of being underwater it grows on you. No spoilers here. I’ve played it several times. Great!

An excellent story

As a horror game, SOMA is scary for the first half of the game, but then once you observe how simple the monsters are to outsmart and navigate around, they become nothing more than annoyances - on top of which the monster encounters become a little formulaic and very predictable: you start to recognise the layouts of areas and realise that similar layouts are used for the same kinds of encounters throughout the game. I played on "Normal" mode (with monsters), but given what I just wrote, I would instead recommend "Safe" mode, which simplifies and nullifies a lot of the monster encounters. Don't feel like that would kill the horror at all though, the monsters do not provide the game's horror. Ultimately, by the time you get to the end of the game the monsters just feel like they are annoyingly interrupting your exploration and story. By this point, they have lost all fearsomeness, and the real horror in the game doesn't come from the monsters, but instead from the disturbing atmosphere and the turns taken by the story. It also seems that Frictional themselves realised this, since the monster encounters get shorter and shorter as the game goes on. The game's value comes from a story which is perfectly paced and makes you really think about the game's premise (with horrifying implications). The story-telling here is among the best of all in of video-games and really should be experienced. Unfortunately I can't write what makes the story so great without spoiling it. Sorry.
