Love the game Only real gripe is that the enemies are a bit repetively annoying at a couple of points in the game.

This game is amazing.
If you don't like story heavy games this isn't for you. The rest needs to pick this up. Horror-Fan or not.

System Shock meets BioShock meets Doom 3
Having never played Penumbra or Amnesia games before, I played SOMA with zero expectation. And to my surprise, I was blown away. Plot-wise, the game starts off really well and it progresses on like that. It constantly keeps you guessing on what's going to happen next. You may have a lot of unanswered questions as you play but just keep moving and things will make sense later on. For the gameplay, it works well except for the stealth mechanics. I like the idea of hiding from enemies but the problem is that there aren't any hiding spots. In a typical survival horror game, environmental objects like beds, lockers and desks can be used to your advantage but in SOMA, you have nowhere to hide. Even when you try hiding behind a giant pipe or desk, the enemies will always see you. What a terrible flaw. Thankfully, the story, atmosphere and soundtrack help to compensate the poor stealth mechanics. By the end of the game, I was completely starstruck by the twist ending and the whole experience. To all horror fans who want a rich narrative game in an somewhat unconventional sci-fi FPS world, this is for you.

Submersive Experince.
Fantastic game with rich story and enivorments, really thought provoking material. -Voice acting was spot on made me belive the characters were real. -Enviroments are rich and belivable no area really seemd out of place. -Storline is one of the best in video games that I have seen in a long time. -Nitpicking but the creatures at times were great ambience at others an annoyance.

Less scares, more thoughts
Soma got interesting and thought provoking plot, great atmosphere and visuals. Gameplay itself is little bit stale especially stealth parts, but I enjoyed Soma a lot although horror is not my favorite genre.
