It will slap you around

This is an immersive adventure game, with heavy moral choices. The environments are intense, and the Non Player Characters will curse you out if you wrong them. Puzzles are straight forward, and there are no timed sequences or jumping problems. At first glance I thought it was a fumbling simulator, but once I got past my instincts to try to pick up everything and put it into my nonexistent inventory, I made progress. Just realize you can pull open drawers and examine objects. The ending left me drained.

Practically Perfect.

Got it for free by GOG and what a gift it was. I don't expect much from horror games but SOMA was one of the best video game experience I had in a long time. -The controls feels like you are playing in VR, it's very natural you can pick up items, rotate them, open lockers by dragging the door with your mouse, lean left and right... -The athomosphere is amazing thanks to the great "SF" sound design and environments as well as the fascinating world setup. -The story brings a lot of suddle and obvious philosophical questions about identity, humanity, AI, some on those questions really ad to the scare part of the game. -The adventure it's self is fun and the reason why you go from one place to another doesn't feel forced (no stupid justifcation on why you need to go there [at least not too stupid]). -And the ending makes me feel weird in a good way. In short SOMA was amazing, I had a lot of fun playing, the story is great and it's scary in every way.

wouah....

first survival horror game but also my favorite game of the genre ... I ask myself a lot of questions about what I would have done, me instead of Simon and what makes us human.The end is a little sad depending on the point of view. The graphics are pretty good and the story is very push

SOMA - Spiritual sibling to Blade Runner

(DISCLAIMER: If you're not familiar with the 1982 Ridley Scott movie "Blade Runner", look it up on Wikipedia :-D) When I finished SOMA in 2019 I felt exactly like I did when I finished the movie "Blade Runner" in a theater in 1982. In 1982, I had just enjoyed a distinctive movie experience where a unique story was shared and, as the story was told, a hard question was implicitly asked: "What IS a human being?" or more precisely "What makes us human?" But Ridley Scott didn't end the movie by "preaching" an answer. Rather he left it to the viewers to develop their own answers. In the same way Frictional Games delivered a AAA gaming experience that I will always remember. In my opinion, Frictional refined the question to be "Is it possible to capture and transfer the human soul?" or, to ask it another way, "Can science truly quantify what makes us human?" SOMA tells the same story every time, but how it emotionally impacts the player will be greatly determined by the individual player's personal values and beliefs. For example, my son and I have similar but slightly different beliefs. After we both finished the game separately we were chatting about it. Events during the game that were deeply troubling to me didn't impact my son in the same way, and vice-versa. We also differed on how "satisfying" the ending was. (BTW I'm purposely NOT giving specifics to avoid unintentional spoilers to readers of this review). Regarding technical execution, SOMA has DOOM3-era graphics (very, very good, but not great), exceptionally good audio effects and above average good voice acting. My PC contains Intel i5-8400 (6 cores @ 4Ghz), NVIDIA 1050 Ti 4GB, 8GB RAM, Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I ran SOMA at 1900x1200 with Max settings at a steady 60 FPS with Vsync on, and 100+ FPS with Vsync off. Measured using MSI Afterburner. To wrap up, SOMA is a must-play for anyone who loves narrative games. Buy it today at FULL PRICE. It's worth it!!!

Excellent continuation of their catalog

Much more polished than Frictional's earlier games. Art direction is great. Scary and foreboding, existentially depressing. Maybe not entirely the most original of premises, but it certainly brings a personal and visceral punch to it. It considers a different angle than most takes. As opposed to the haunted house of Amnesia or Penumbra's early 20th century cave setting, this one is futuristic claustrophobic terror, disorienting and unpredictable in general. More story oriented than previous offerings. Probably only good for one playthrough, or two to take a closer look at some of the numerous story and visual details, but it was a ride worth taking.
