Описание
Радио молчит, еда на исходе, а роботы возомнили себя людьми. Путешествуя по подводной станции "Пафос II", которая долгое время была полностью отрезана от внешнего мира, вам предстоит принимать непростые решения. Что можно сделать? Что ещё имеет значение? Осталось ли что-то, за что есть смысл сражаться?
Погрузитесь в мир SOMA и взгляните в лицо ужасам, таящимся в глубинах океана. Изучайте записи на заблокированных терминалах и читайте секретные документы, чтобы узнать, какие тайны прячутся под вуалью окружающего вас хаоса. Попытайтесь отыскать последних выживших на станции и решите судьбу подводного комплекса. Будьте предельно осторожны, ведь опасность подстерегает за каждым поворотом: заражённые люди, безобразные существа, безумные роботы и вездесущий загадочный ИИ.
Вам предстоит искать персональный подход к каждому противнику. Помните, что сопротивление бесполезно: хитрость и быстрые ноги - вот ваше главное оружие.

While the story for this game is great and presented fairly well the actual gameplay is fairly boring and the experience is incredibly linear. This seems like the sort of thing that would have been far better as a movie rather then a game. I ended up buying this for less then 5$ while it was on sale, and while I would say it is probably worthwhile for that price I would not be able to justify paying full price for it.
Bioshock and Dead Space had a disgusting and beautiful baby and they named it SOMA
This is what good storytelling looks like. Bravo.
The narrative that drives this game; It made me think about existential questions again, it's a horror game different from the flashy mold.
SOMA was a uniquely intriguing and very well executed horror game in an oversaturated genre. I don't play a lot of horror games, but I have seen many, and nothing compares to SOMA. It definitely shows its age and I had some mixed feelings on the presentation of its ending, but even still there isn't anything that compares. The horror was pretty well executed, putting you in some genuinely unsettling environments and situations. The story immediately placed it in my top 10, maybe because its right up my ally but regardless I couldn't help but read every bit of text and try to learn more about Pathos-II. It was well worth the money and time that I might have just bought it full price if I had known more about what I was getting myself into.
9/10, needs more K8 screentime :) .
amazing game, amazing atmosphere. I went in blind and am so happy with the experience. Its an extroadinary game and an experience i wont forget soon
I won't explain too much about the story or how the lore is but I can freely say this game is really good. it has aged well and the addition of the workshop really adds a few more things you can do when you finish the game. I think the voice acting is nice and the graphics and game is generally just polished well. I like the story and the feeling of playing, I may be slightly bias though as I am a sucker for underwater games like this and bioshock, I got this when it was on sale but even at it's full price if you have the money I would recommend it, it is a good play if you really want a story rich game capable of leaving you satisfied.
its a 10/10 straight through, it pretty much gaming perfection! second time playing through it and i had forgotten how amazing it is.
8.5/10 to 9/10
I am not a big horror game fan and came into this game fully expecting to tap out within an hour, but I ended up finishing it. For others who are not big on the horror genre, you don't have much to fear. Its not too scary in a gameplay sense but very, very, very interesting in a story sense. The story had me captivated through the ending and I've been thinking about it ever since I finished it.
The only reason I wouldn't give this is a 10/10 is because I do feel some of the monster encounters could've actually been scarier, and I think the glitch effect on your screen when the monsters are nearby is a little too disorienting. Otherwise it is fantastic. The story is spotless and the game is worth playing for that alone.
And if you played the game on release but are wondering if its worth trying again, the answer is yes. The visuals hold up very well on modern hardware. The Abyss on an ultrawide OLED display is a pure inky void and it really makes that segment stand out.
This game has become my favorite story driven game ever. I could talk for hours about what makes it such a phenomenal game, but for the sake of anyone wishing to play I will not. This is a story you need to experience blind because it just makes all the twists and turns so much more impactful. I actually plan on replaying this again soon, I highly recommend it.
From finding a freaking bottle of fluid in a room (took me a while) and ending up in "space heaven". This game got everything. Great story, Cute robot, Spooky (shitting myself). The sound effect is phenomenon. Gave me couple doses of existential crisis with a dash of thalassophobia. Absolute Masterpiece!
Soma is one of the best psychological horror games that takes on potential future human annihilation for its story that comes with the uniqueness of its setting taking place underwater to convey its importance for human preservation. It also has an intriguing brain-uploading plot, which is on par with Caroline's intricate backstory in Portal 2. Soma is a beautiful game aesthetically that brings the loneliness and unnerving feeling of being underwater with creatures altered by the unknown, with its huge plot twist that slowly unravels through the story, and its realistic ending proves it as a must-play game.
SCARY
Great game. Has an amazing plot, and a very detailed story.
This is not only the best horror game I've ever played, but also one of the best games I've ever played in general. For a game discounted at a little more than a buck I wasn't expecting much, but this is such an incredible game, and has tested my morality in a way no other game has.
In order to progress at certain points of the game, you have to make a choice typically regarding the life of someone who was once human that is now trapped in the body of a robot, and whether or not you kill them or choose the alternative is up to you. There are other choices that are completely optional, but help you establish where you draw the line in the game's overarching moral dilemma.
The voice acting is also incredible and really made me the world and story feel much more believable.
If you're on the fence about getting this game, just get it. It's worth it.
เป็นเกมสยองที่ผมชอบที่สุดเลย จังหวะระทึกมีหลายครั้งเลยหล่ะ แต่ผมชอบเรื่องราวระหว่างการเดินทางของไซม่อนมากกว่า มีหลายอารมณ์ ตอนจบผมรู้อยู่เรื่องระบบการโอนถ่ายข้อมูลความทรงจำและสมองของเนื้อเรื่องเกมอยู่แล้วแต่ก็อดไม่ได้ที่จะอึ้ง มันไม่ใช่ตอนจบที่ดี แต่เป็นตอนจบที่จริงที่สุด ส่วนเราใน ARK ก็คงมีชีวิตดีๆ แล้วหล่ะ
A coward's review of the best horror game he has played
Although I am deathly afraid of horror games and swore to myself that I will never play a horror game blindly and alone - this game caught my eye. Seeing all the praise it got and starting to watch a video about it, I couldn't help myself; paused the video, snatched the game on a sale, and started playing. Never in my life have I been more terrified yet excited to play a game.
The story is absolutely fantastic and terrifying. I am a huge fan of sci-fi, especially when it comes to something quite probable, like in this case. I do believe that we will at some point learn of a way to store human consciousness on an electronic storage. If we could go from dreaming of flying in the air to having people pretty much live in space in the span of 70 years, we can achieve this, too. Of course, the whole dilemma of "flipping a coin" on whether you end up on the other side or stay in your body is absolutely terrifying to me.
The visuals are one of the more unique ones I've seen in my life playing games. It's dark and gritty, likes most horror games, yes. But maybe the fact that it's all underwater is what's making it so good for me. As a proud haver of thalassophobia, I'm horrified of the idea of being in deep water. Yet it's incredibly fascinating and beautiful to me. So having the chance to be out there and see what I like, all while being driven by fear, just knocked me out. The one thing that could've been done better is the animation, of course. Specifically of human characters.
The sound design is a cherry on top. The sheer terror that fills me when the screen starts glitching out and the sound gets distorted, with Simon's breathing filling in the silence between the monster's footsteps, is what makes it so great. I don't think I've ever played - or will play - a game with sound design that has immersed me this much. They absolutely killed it.
One thing I have to add is that, being the coward I am, I looked up a few monsters when I met them. I was too scared to find out what they did and how to avoid them by myself. The exception being Yoshida, I saw that one coming lol.
If you haven't played this game, what the hell are you doing? Get it now. Especially if you are terrified of horror. And remember:
They are not us.
SOMA is the kind of game that makes you question whether your consciousness is real, or if you’re just another malfunctioning robot on a sinking submarine. The only thing scarier than the glowing-eyed abominations lurking in the shadows is the existential crisis that hits you at 3 a.m. after you finally (sort of) escape.
really great game, great story, really good atmosphere. overall a good horror game.
id givei it a 7.5-8/10
Probably the 2nd best horror game around, after alien isolation.
Different type of horror though.
Don't play if you have depression, it's grim.
Highly recommended if into this type of game.
7/10
This is one hell of a ride. Makes you question your existence. One of the saddest endings in video game history. An absolute must play.
One of the best psychological horror games out there and one of the greatest stories in gaming. A classic.
Didn't think I'd enjoy this game THIS much.
From the way it pretty much just throws you into it to the way you interact with objects and the world, everything is atmospheric, immersive, and keeps you on your toes. It's also one of those games where the environmental story telling really pulls its weight and doesn't force you to read through walls of text to understand WTF is going on (something I absolutely despise about other horror games).
AN ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY!!
Havnt felt so much in a game since the end of the intro to Last of Us pt1. 11/10 must play if youre a fan of sci fi, horror or story based games in general
Great, honestly great. I feel impacted by the story and will remember this game and its story.
AAAAAAAAAAAA scary robots and the reflection on the identity of the human being used as a starting point to discuss the nature of reality and consciousness >.<
SOMA has the perfect balance for gameplay. The story is rich. The puzzles aren't to hard and not to easy. The atmosphere of the game is dark and scary. A perfect balance for a game. Enjoy your playthrough!!!
I would recommend for story (read documents or watch a explanation video after you are finished), but the gameplay is quite awkward, so are the enemies.
Soma is a strong story driven survival horror thats only getting better before the dawn of 2025. Game brilliantly plays with horror always leaving you uncorftable, weaving dircet danger with quaiet reflection on existential dred of losing youre humanity. Its rare this medium is used with its true potential. Although technically a bit dated visuals are pleasent and hold up, largly thanks to unwavering pourpose entiled in most of them. Sound desing is as fenomenal as at the release date. Gameplay maybe lacking some small modetn sendibilities but its cohesive, simple and well thought out with only rare level desing stumbles. I would recomend soma even too those who generaly dislake the genere.
Perfectly balanced horror factor without jumpscares meanwhile I really questioned my existence. Better late than never. You must play it.
I highly recommend to complete this game. The plot makes you think more about the influence of AI on our life.
There are some optimization problems, e.g. I had crashes when I died on some locations, but overall it is quite good.
Setting and locations are pretty detailed and unique, there are no boring or routine tasks in the game.
However, the game is not very scary, and enemies are not dangerous at all, it seems to be more like a good film in comparison with action games.
It's an experience for sure... it still holds up pretty well even in 2024! For high FPS monitors, I recommend using Lossless Scaling for smooth frames.
SOMA: A Deep Dive into the Soul and Human Existence
SOMA is more than just a game; it is an exploration of what it means to have a soul. The conversations between Simon and Catherine carry this exploration. These will really make you question the meaning of life itself. You are constantly asking yourself profound questions about consciousness, identity, and what it truly means to be human. The seamless integration of these philosophical debates within the gameplay elevates SOMA from a simple horror game to an existential odyssey.
Visually, the game creates a hauntingly atmospheric environment that complements its deep themes. The underwater setting, coupled with the isolation and the eerie silence, amplifies the introspective nature of the narrative. The mechanics are smooth, but it's the story that pulls you in, making you question every choice and its underlying implications.
SOMA is a masterpiece that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of video games. It is a profound experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. If you are looking for a game that challenges your mind and touches your soul, SOMA is an unmissable journey.
I found a lot of similarities between this experience and The Talos Principle. Both are among the best existential experiences I have ever had in my life. Simply outstanding.
Discover SOMA and embark on a quest that will make you rethink the essence of human existence.
One of the of most highly immersive and well crafted atmospheric games I've ever played. Sat through nearly 8 hours straight and enjoyed it all. The story actually predicts the future and I could definitely see it happening in real life. 10/10 neuralink moment
loved the game, the only annoying thing was the enemies, they showed up just when I was exploring the map.
to the amount of Interactability, sound design, object physics, even to the lore and world design, SOMA is the best of its time. The amount of detail that went into each part of the game truly make it a wonderful experience. I personally enjoy how every inch of the facilities are detailed to perfection to look decayed and ran down.
10/10 game, I got jumpscared by a flickering light.
i played this game a while ago, but for some reason i feel inclined to write a review now. this is the type of game that will stick with you forever. i find myself thinking about it every so often. when i say that it changed my perspective on life, i absolutely mean it. it is dark and depressing, and the ending will destroy you. yet, it will remind you not to forget that there is still hope, even if it’s hard to see. the subject matter may be heavy but i can not recommend this game enough. you will not regret playing this.
Still think about this game and its ending on a regular basis, even after only playing for 10 hours, 8 years ago. Cannot recommend enough.
Honestly 10/10 Story, even after almost 10 years the graphics dont seem like they are lacking in any kind of way. The great sound and level design make you actually feel the impact your actions have on this small world.
Would definitely recommend, for only a few bucks
I loved the story, the atmosphere and the possible implications to the stuff you experience in this game. A lot of this game stays just inside your personal experience.
The controls felt a little strange at the beginning but I got used to that pretty fast.
I loved the world building and the eye for detail in this game.
Very interesting game!
I've played many of frictional games' works, and I believe each is a masterpiece. Soma in particular I find to be mind-altering. Soma is a wonderful exploration of humanity and the consequences of A.I usage. Many times throughout the game it had me question my morality after having to commit certain actions. Though that's the beauty of it, the constant questioning of not only the main character's choices but yours; even your own humanity and existence. I don't think I've ever cried over a horror game more than this one. It touched my soul to see certain hopeful moments even in the dark times of certain characters' dialogues. The end leaves you with this haunting feeling of emptiness. Not only is this game's world-building spectacular in existential dread, but like advertised is a terrifyingly spectacular horror game. Constantly keeping you on your toes, but not forcing the fear with overused jump scares. This game is a must-play for all of those who enjoy the works of frictional games much like myself; I would 100% recommend this game. Thank you Frictional games for another spectacular horror game, you really are geniuses in the horror genre, and I can't wait for your next work.
Beklemmende Atmosphäre, spannende (und verwirrende) Story sowie ein wenig zum Nachdenken. Absolut empfehlenswertes Horrorgame. Die Grafik mag ein wenig schlecht gealtert sein, das tut dem Spielerlebnis jedoch keinen Abbruch da der Rest einen catcht.
This may very well be my favorite game I've ever played. For some reason I can't put my finger on why i love it so much yet I continue to want to play through it again and again. Highly recommend giving it a chance.
Not a lot of games hit so hard and stay with you long after you've finished them, but SOMA is one of them. Fantastic ambience and superb story.
One of the best Horror games I have played, and certainly my favorite among them.
one of my best experiences with a horror game:
who says playing video games is a waste of time? when you play a game that has as much to say as a collection of films and books, every step tells you a part of the story, makes you think, and immerses you. some games are truly worth your time. it tells you an incredible story, scares you brilliantly, and brings up topics you might never consider in your repetitive daily routine.
This game asks you many questions and gives you time to think about them, and of course, you quickly realize that there is no clear answer. it forces you to make decisions you would never imagine, like whether erasing someone's consciousness from a computer is equivalent to killing them, or whether you have the right to take your own life.
These concepts feel astonishing in video games. Sometimes, I tell myself I don't need to think too deeply about them since such things will never happen in real life. But who really knows?
anyway, I highly recommend it.
level mechanics a bit repetitive, but super satisfying ending
This is not a horror game. It is a psychological conundrum, a philosophical dilemma.
About what we are.
About who we are.
About what defines us.
About what is the definition of consciousness.
However SOMA never answers these questions. Rightfully so. That matter is left up to you.
Futhermore, what makes this game so special is that we will all have to answer this problem sooner or later, as our species grows more and more aquainted with technology.
The events happening in SOMA might become real in the near future.
(And there's also scary monstrers and spooky ambiance)
This game offers an experience that you won't find in other games.
In my opinion, the most significant aspect of this game lies in its decision-making.
You make numerous choices throughout the game, most of which are between "bad" and "worse." However, what makes these decisions truly unique is not their impact on the game’s ending but their effect on you.
With every choice you make, you come closer to understanding your true self in the real world. Each decision tests your conscience and helps you better define your moral boundaries.
In the end, it’s not you playing the game—it’s the game playing with you.
The best horror game I've ever played. The story blows everything else I've ever played out of the water
