My review for Soma, I really should get around to replaying it at some point:

Wow … a storytelling EXPERIENCE. I rarely finish games, this one gripped me from beginning to end. About 10 hours or so of gameplay, I’m not sure if there is much replay value to be had - perhaps a few dialogue variations.

The themes of existentialism, the threat of AI, and humanity’s future are all beautifully blended together in a deeply enthralling way. This game is scary and definitely has its moments of terror but it is not heavy on jump scares (there are a couple though).

The graphics hold up well. Mechanically there isn’t any novel ground being tread but what is there is solid and works well. This game is definitely more about inhabiting the mind of Simon and less about running away from scary stuff although it does have plenty of times where you will be doing just that.

Buy this one on sale and you will more than get your money’s worth in entertainment value. Definitely a game that gives you a lot to think about.
