A Fantastic Experience
SOMA is a short game when compared against the usual AAA titles published today by the likes of Ubisoft or EA. It is also an incredibly simple game: there is no map, no inventory, no journal or another means of tracking what you've done or need to do, or where to go. There are no sidequests and no busy work; just the main campaign that strings you along through the story in a relatively linear fashion with a few easy puzzles to solve here and there. There are enemies scattered throughout the world, but no means for fighting them. Despite all of these elements that make SOMA rather unconventional, it still bests many AAA titles published by enormous and foolhardy global conglomerates. Why? Because SOMA is not about getting from point A to point B while killing as many enemies as you can, or racking up points through some arcane mechanism, or living a second life in a virtual city. SOMA is, on the contrary, a deep meditation on what it means to be human, a work of art akin to some of the finest works produced by the likes of Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. It has a phenomenal story that encourages you to examine yourself philosophically, and at the conclusion, leaves you in a state of awe. "Play" SOMA not as a game for amusement, but rather as a clear lens through which the powerful relationship between man and machine (increasingly important these days when you take into consideration where our world is going with respect to artificial intelligence) can be explored and dissected. All that being said, this game is not for everyone, but if you're the kind of person like me who prefers to have their mind probed instead of fed repetitive garbage, you will enjoy SOMA.
