Would I say Soma is a must play? No .. but it is a very interesting horror game and one that I would recommend to anyone looking within the genre. A very unique story and quite thought provoking as well throughout. The story unravels slowly and at a good pace. Great ending as well for a shorter game!

SOMA has gotten very high praise and is the reason I decided to even check this out. Shockingly, it's one of the most poignant sci-fi experiences I've played. It is a horror and while I don't think it's as terrifying as Frictional Games' previous creation, Amnesia, this does have some high anxiety moments, especially if deep, dark water unsettles you. But while the scares are effective, the true greatness in SOMA lies in the narrative. It's simultaneously a deep sci-fi that, at times, forces you to make some difficult moral decisions, and a physics-based puzzle game that never requires too much processing, but curious and detailed intentionality in order to piece together this unique story. If you're a fan of games that are more about the story, then SOMA is for you. The gameplay isn't anything groundbreaking and most of the fun comes from the ability to pick up any item or open most cabinets, lockers, drawers, etc and sometimes uncover notes or photos that may provide some insight into the narrative holes, but all of that was enough to satiate my desire for exploration. Overall, I recommend it, but do think it is for a select group of people who enjoy a more "walking simulator" experience than an action-packed, high intensity thrill. It has a linear story, fascinating world-building, a unique setting, and an atmospheric experience that is unparallel to many other games I've played. And expect some surprising, thought-provoking commentary about human consciousness and what life really means.

very good horror game
