SOMA

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.

Spooky games are not my favorite type one but WHAT GREAT GAME!!! I've just beat the game a few minutes ago and WHY did I not hear about this game earlier? I won't say anything else about the game because ANYTHING might be a spoiler and the story is SO RICH that you deserve go without any contest. I'd love a sequel about, where did the ARK land or the "living" inside of the simulation. O even a spinoff on the same universe. Frictional Games, PLEASE!!!

An incredably immersive experience that follows an original and spooky story built on the idea of what it means to be you. Soma will leave you thinking about the game and the philisophical ideas behind it well after you've put it down!

Don't like scray games but the first 3 hours are good.

Year 2019, better late than never haha. What a gorgeous game, and it holds pritty well. The story and the narrative are so immersive that sometimes it felt like playing through a movie. The voices, the ambient sounds, the imagenes so so beautiful, the characters so alive and relatable. It reflects how much soul the game has and the love it was put into it. I have to admit that I loved more SOMA than the Amnesia games (ofcourse that it shows how they have grown in making epic game). Although there were a couple of little things that made me loose the immersion from time to time, it wasn't a big deal, besides, the plot is so good that it was easy forget about them. All in all, this is a great game and it left its mark in my memory and a taste for more. I am already missing it, (I hate this kind of feeling haha). I thoroughly recommend this title.
