There is a puzzle platformer that uses a very similar topic as a background narrative. I'd recommend not to do that. While the story indeed is the main draw, the puzzles are interesting enough and imo there's no reason to use a guide if you 1) use your brain and 2) like in any game with adventure elements, check everything meticulously. Spending some time in the apartment - sure, getting stuck there - can't see why (given you enjoy puzzle/adventure games). All right! When I pop it in, I'll begin without a guide! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I don't have too much free time so I tried last weekend, reached about half of the story. Nice game. I'm playing on Safe mode and it's very funny that still I'm very cautious every time I hear monsters around and turn on all the lights ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar_Boy Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I just finished it, I gotta say, one of the best survival horror that I've ever played, but it could be the heat of the moment, I'll digest better the story and think more about it to see if it really is all this.

I picked up some keys, rattled the door, went on the cpu, opened curtaind, dvd player, phone, went in bathroom, endless other permutations. Just not sure it's my sort of game tbh. The gameplay is design is no winner, for sure, and I even stopped playing for a couple months. I had to push through, and I'm so glad I did. The story is incredible, and I still think about it to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal21 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I played on Normal mode, and wish they let you change it in the middle of the game, because at one point it got annoying as f***. Story was alright if a bit predictable, but gameplay-wise this was a slog to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent probably 20 hours watching story analysis on YouTube and found this timeline of events that pieced everything together. The game even references a short story written in the 1960's that ties back to real life events. That part is pretty well hidden so most people wouldn't realize it unfortunately. Just beat it. Great story indeed, interesting setting. Those controls are rough. Enemies become more annoying than scary due to not knowing what every monster reacts to.

GravityQueeen Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Wow, SOMA was one of the best experiences I ever had in gaming, I mean it. The one world where I ever cared about saving mankind, whatever that truly means in here. Couldn't be happier for finally playing it. Thanks @Charizarzar for recommending it! The controls are great and interacting with the scenario is easy, it becomes intuitive very soon, there are puzzles but almost all of them are easy and enjoyable to solve, to the point I was able to complete it without a walkthrough (with a minor exception I'm not mentioning :P). Shout out to @zizimonster whose guide I used to not miss the only missable trophy, thanks! SOMA was free on Plus in December 2018 so I would say give it a chance if you like exploration, narrative driven games and also some survival horror. It feels old-school by design but I can't say it aged at all. Looking forward to the Amnesia series now that I saw what Frictional Games is capable of!

It's a story that still sticks with me all these years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
