Critic Reviews for SOMA
SOMA is a survival horror game that is undoubtedly one of the best of the genre, and its setting and plot are shining examples of how to engage an audience.
SOMA is smart and scary science fiction. Not all of its ideas work, but it's worth playing for the story alone.
The makers of Amnesia ease back on the horror, ramp up the philosophy and strike a satisfying balance between narrative and gameplay.
A masterpiece of audio and visual design, SOMA is atmospheric, cerebral, and occasionally frustrating.
A disturbingly different take on interesting sci-fi concepts let down by a slow start and disappointing monsters, but worth it overall.
A daringly complex ode to the works of Philip K. Dick, and although the mix of survival horror and existential storytelling doesn't always work it's never less than gripping.
A gripping mix of survival horror and existential science fiction storytelling, which is notably improved by an optional new safe mode.
Playing cat-and-mouse with monsters feels formulaic at this point, but Soma's engrossing subsea environment and intriguing narrative keep the entire experience afloat
