6About SOMA
SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human. The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for? Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.

Soma was a truly incredible experience for me
Soma was a truly incredible experience for me. From start to finish it kept my attention, and constantly made me think. Think about the story, about the characters, the situation, and most importantly, about what it means to be human. It’s a very appealing theme for a video game that I haven’t seen in games before (although I do realize there have been many films/books made about the topic). Made by Frictional games, the same developers of Amnesia the Dark Descent, I had high expectations for pretty much everything. They didn’t let me down. The new HPL 3 Engine looks amazing, and gave me some of the most atmospheric moments I’ve ever had in gaming. The sound design is top notch, and the voice actors are definitely worth commending. Although there aren’t many characters in the game, those that do feature, pull off incredible performances. Although the game had several scary moments, I personally found one part towards the end of the game absolutely terrifying. It’s safe to say that I really enjoyed the pacing of the game and how everything became particularly more intense as I progressed. Probably the only criticism I can make is the length of the game, which I felt was a bit short. A lot of reviewers criticized the puzzles, but I personally enjoyed them all for the most part. Soma is definitely worth playing if you enjoy survival horror. But even if you’re new to survival horror, I’m certain you’ll find this game worthwhile.
