   Gameplay
   
   The gameplay is the standard for a exploration game, but the horror in SOMA is done well, with only few enemies throughout each level, and instead of fighting/killing them, you must try to sneak around them. Also featured heavily is the false scares where you will think an enemy should be coming but it something else, and these moments add a lot of tension to the game, and is done well.
   
   Story
   
   The story in SOMA was exceptionally done, and focuses and big philosophical questions, which can be a hard thing to do. The questions posed were handled intelligently, and by the end of it, and also throughout, I was swirling with thoughts of humanity, and what it truly means to be human. For a game to get to me ponder like that is a feat that IMO earns recognition. The pacing is also well done to, with a good progression flow.
   
   Graphics/presentation
   
   The visuals are nice in SOMA, and the aesthetic designs of the environments give off an eerie feel, which sets the tone for the game. The only gripe I had was that the loading could be a bit of an annoyance, with slow downs occurring sometimes, but this didn't hinder my experience too much.
   
   Overall SOMA is a smart, scary, and Philosophically pondering game that tackles big questions, and does so with great intelligence. Even if you don't like horror games that much such as my self this game is worth a try.… Expand

An interesting setting mixed with a very well crafted story that doesn't get carried by unexpectable twists but by the way the story is continously presented to the player. Soma comes pretty close to what defines sci-fi, not only the futuristic setting but also exploring the possibilities of the future and how they would affect the protagonist.
   
   Where Soma stumbles ist the feeling that it drags itself out for a little too long, much like Alien Isolation Soma doesn't know when to stop. After the eight easteregg hunt, even the monsters start to get just annoying as they keep you away from what you actually wand to experience. The story and strange world of Soma. However, at this point i was invested enough in the protagonists story and the one of his sidekick that i carried on.
   
   In the end, Soma is worth it for it's atmosphere alone but prepare for some drawn-out easter egg hunts inbetween.… Expand
