Best horror game I've played

This horror game is not like your average horror games full of gore, mutilation and jumpscares. It's more about thinking about your own humanity, your own consciousness, thoughts. If you liked stories like "I have no mouth and I must scream" then this game is for you. What is the boundary between human and a robot? Where lies the consciousness, what makes me different from other living things? Depressive environments add to the "end of the world" feelings. You are trapped underwater never able to look on the surface again. There is not many battles and not many enemies throughout this game. Still, one of the most terrifying games I've ever played. Feelings of unease crept into my mind and stayed there for weeks even after completing it, which never happened with other horror games. That happened because I think, that this is not entirely impossible and something like the main theme (transfer of mind) can happen in the future, if our technology keeps evolving the way it is now. Some scenes trigger goosebumps when I think about them even now (Calm down Mr. Wan). Well spent 30€.

Best Frictional Game so far!

Ok, so I haven't played the Penumbra series, but have played Amnesia, as well as Machine for Pigs, and did enjoy them both. This one is SO MUCH BETTER! My big problem with both A & MFP was that I never quite knew what to do. This game solves this most of the time, and when you feel lost, it only adds to the terror. The setting & graphics are fantastic, the "hide from bad guy moments" are memorable and feel central to the story, and speaking of, the story is amazing. Asks many fundamental human questions for a modern world. All in all, my favorite Frictional game so far. Scary, intriguing, funny at times, and with the best setting so far.

One of the greatest games I played

Great piece of sci fi in Philip K Dick's vein. Plenty of good things to say, but i just want to mention that I think that this game makes a few very interesting statements about some classical gameplay mechanics like the combat (only once in the whole game, but a truly disturbing moment, not to spoil anything) or the "meaningful choices" (typically games are making such choices interesting by making them lead to different outcomes of the story and, thus, creating alternative scenarios - here, certain choices that the player has to make are meaningful and are emotionally involving "in themselves", because of the quality and the depth (no pun intended) of the story they are part of, even if they have no impact on the outcome of the story itself).

One of the best games I've ever played!

This is a hard game to write a review for because this is one of the best story driven games I've played in a long time and I can't tell you why it's so good without spoiling it. Part of what makes this game good is that I keep thinking about about it long after I've finished it. I've played every one of Frictional's games starting with Penumbra, the Amnesia Games and now SOMA. If you've played any of their previous games, you should have a good idea of what you're getting into. This is their best game yet. SOMA stands out above their previous games because it is more focused on the story being told and a little less on the puzzle solving, but there are still some good puzzles to solve. I found the setting and environments of SOMA to be scarier than Amnesia. To me, the sci-fi setting was more realistic and believable than the supernatural setting of Amnesia, and the game sound was excellent.

Excellent story but on rails

I must say this is a great game with a very good story, and I have enjoyed it. The game world is interesting and a lot of care has been put into perhaps mundane but important aspects such as toilets, mess halls, personal effects etc. The way you get more and more into the story is very interesting with realistic characters (with the exception of the end game boss fight which is ridiculous and has almost no lore despite potentially being really interesting and answering many questions). The philosophical questions it poses and the fact that it explores multiple sides of the same question are really great and it is all in all a very respectable sci-fi story that I'd love to read in a book. My only issue with it is that there is absolutely no choice and the protagonist sometimes has very strong ideas that conflict with my own. At times this is not a problem as it brings up some interesting psychological conundrums, but other times it's just in the way a bit, and I feel like I have questions or statements to make that the game just doesn't let me. Another issue, if I were to nit pick, is that the story is sometimes kind of hard to follow with a lot of characters and the use of first names, surnames and abbreviated names making it hard to understand who was stationed where and what their role was. Another small issue with it is that the story is mostly told via reading or audio logs, which is not as interesting as actually being able to interact with real characters. It sometimes feels like I'm reading a book about what happened instead of being there. PS: I highly recommend playing in Safe Mode, the monsters are generally just a nuisance and sometimes prevent you from enjoying the lore. Plus, the game doesn't exactly tell you how to deal with each type of monster (and sometimes actually harms you, e.g. angler fish that are attracted to light) so it's a lot of frustration with little benefit from the artificial tension that most of the game isn't there anyway.
