A game worth the playthrough
It had scary moments, but the story kept me going. The enviroment is very convincing and well made. I usually don't play these types of games because they scare me. Would recommend!

You will question your individuality.
It's no surprise that the Developers Frictional Games are masters at doing horror, and this is no exception. Knowing that they also made Amnesia and Penumbra, you know you're in good hands (or bad hands if you're a chicken like me). Soma is, above all else, story based. Its a HEAVILY atmospheric game that tries to unsettle and disturb you before actually scare you. It builds up tension at a steady pace and makes you incredibly paranoid as you wander around the dead and abandoned installations deep bellow the ocean. But above all else, it makes you question your existance, and what makes you...you. It's a philosofical game more than anything else, with incredibly horrifying monsters.

Masterpiece of dread!
Fabulous immersion, exploration and atmosphere interspersed with sporadic moments of action. The story was mindblowing! This game wins on every level and in every way!

Played it already a couple of years ago
But its one of the best games I´ve ever played hands down. The story is captivating, so is the setting. A very interesting concept all together. I´m excited for the next fricional game!

More than a terror walking simulator
SOMA is a terror walking simulator with a great history and a great setting that makes it very immersive and chilling. We put ourselves in the shoes of Simon, where after having a car accident, he must go for a brain analysis. From here, we wake up in a mysterious destroyed building where we do not know how we have arrived or why. From now on, we will discover that things are not as they seem and that will make us reflect on ourselves. SOMA, despite it's a scary game, has more weight in its argument than fear. It is one of these games that make you ask questions that we never ask, but the answer could be key for the future. When Simon discovers the truth, he realizes what he once was and what he is now and thanks to the great immersion that he offers, he puts us in his situation, turning a game of fear, almost into a philosophical game. It's weird to explain without making spoilers, but I think the best way to understand this is to play the game. As I said before, the feeling of fear and terror is excellent. There are very few enemies, but each of them is a threat with a certain intelligence that we must study in order to survive. The good thing is that if they "catch" us they will not kill us instantly, but we will fall wounded and we will still have a second chance. This coupled with dark scenarios and narrow corridors with few safe areas, make it a very immersive horror game where we must pay attention at all times. An essential game if you like horror games with a good story. It isn't very difficult and it is very basic (like all walking simulators), but we will seldom see another similar game that can overcome the narrative and immersion of SOMA. Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad English.
