SOMA Reviews

SOMA is one of those very few games that after you finish it, you still think about it from time to time. It is a very well done narrative experience that makes you question humanity, meaning, mind and soul. Every friend I've recommended this game and has played it says something similar to what I just wrote. So far I haven't been dissapointed with any of Frictional's games. I like to support this developer and enjoy the great experiences they make. From Amnesia to SOMA, to The Bunker and Rebirth, they all have that little something that makes the games a great experience with well written stories and memorable characters, level design and soundtrack. 10/10

A near-decade later replay and it's still one of the most important pieces of media ever made. Hauntingly beautiful exploration on what Armageddon might look like, the Jungian concept of Self, the (current) acceleration of Transhumanism, its moral consequences, and dripping with Existential Dread. This game will change you if you have more than 2 brain cells.

SOMA. wow, I knew the game was gonna be good, but the story was actually so interesting. and I know half of y'all would run off scared anyways to the horror fans, story lovers, in this world of technology and AI. this throws a couple of what if's.. again, LOVED the story! gg guys

What is there to say that has not already been said? Played it blind and still today it is absolutely gorgeus! If you are like me and still have not seen or experienced this, give it a go! Atmospheric masterpiece with minimal Hide and Seek This might have pulled me into the horror genre!

First things first, I bought this game to support the devs because I had watched tons of YouTubers play it beforehand, I didn’t even have a PC back then. And honestly? It’s really good. The gameplay itself wasn’t anything groundbreaking, at least in my opinion, but the story? I absolutely loved it. And that ending... Ugh, it hit me right in the feels. I went through a whole rollercoaster of emotions, not gonna lie. If you’re looking for a game with a solid story and a bit of a creepy twist, you should definitely give SOMA a try. Trust me, it’s worth it.

It says 1.5 hours because I played this multiple times on the xbox store, it was so good I bought it again. This is easily the most impactful video game I have ever played. The story is great and the visuals are pretty good, the horror elements are not very scary. But the meaning behind the game changed me as a person and my outlook on what it means to be alive. I had to play this game multiple times and watched video essays on it to truly grasp the meaning of this game. People that are developing AI should be required to play this game.

One of the best games I've ever played. I didn't want it to end. I've been chasing the high of this game in other games but its not possible. I don't think this game will ever compare to anything I will ever play in the future. Stirred up existential dread but a phenomenal story never the less.

The deepest mindful game I've ever played! If you've heard it's cool and stuff, and decide to try out, please DO NOT spoil anything! The less you know about the game the better.

incredible game. someone told me they wish they could wipe their memory and play it again, i understand why! (no spoilers ahead) this is spooky stealth game with a "story only" difficulty option available but being scared of the walking hazards is recommended. speaking for myself when i say most of the puzzles were an appropriate challenge level and fun to figure out, a walkthrou was not required. when you feel safe, you will be rewarded when looking for [i]lore[/i] in the form of audio logs, staff notes etcetera. raid all the office furniture. be patient, you will only really experience this once. with the game being out for so long i think i was very lucky to not bump into any spoilers on this, i hope everyone has that advantage. of course, i still believe it is a good game to play throu with a little knowledge of the story beats anyway.

Basically it's an easier and less scary Amnesia. The level design kinda reminded me of half-life. Despite the game being almost 10 years old the graphics aged like fine wine. Loved the story as well. I played it on safe difficulty and you should too unless you constantly want to sneak around. Also, the game by default is very dark so it's a good idea to increase the gamma settings right from the get-go.
