Взял SOMA по скидке, и это был один из лучших игровых «рисков» за последнее время. Если честно, в хорроры и психологические игры я особо не играл, но здесь решил попробовать — и ни разу не пожалел. Атмосфера — просто бомба. Она не пугает скримерами, а затягивает плотным, липким напряжением, которое не отпускает до самых титров. Подводная станция, голос в голове, философские вопросы, которые подкидывает сюжет — всё это остаётся с тобой и после выключения игры. Отдельная пятерка за звук. Шаги, гул механизмов, шум воды, дыхание героя — всё это сделано настолько качественно, что ты буквально чувствуешь каждую секунду нахождения на станции. Звуковой дизайн вывозит атмосферу на 100%. Да, поначалу нужно привыкнуть к неспешному темпу и обилию чтения/записок, но если настроиться, то игра награждает невероятным опытом. Не сказать, что я стал фанатом жанра, но SOMA однозначно запомнится. Если видите её со скидкой — берите не думая. Это отличный способ попробовать что-то необычное, глубокое и взрослое. Игра для головы, а не для того чтобы просто пострелять. Если хочешь ещё что-то поправить — говори, подгоню 😉
Шедевр, заставивший меня пережить экзистенциальный кризис.
One of the best games i've ever played, it really makes you think about humanity as a whole, and what it means to be human.
great game, its giving me heart problems, im never playing this ♥♥♥♥ again, 100/10 recommend!
The only downside of this game is that it's so short. I played it when it became free on PS Plus on my PS4 and when I saw it was also on PC I had to come and beat it all over again. Amazing experience, thank you. 10/10
INCREIBLE, SIN PALABRAS.
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, does not go away."
This game has no hand-holding, the majority of story-telling you'll get is from things you go out of your way to find or theories you think up as you gather more information Graphics and atmosphere look impressive over a decade later If you enjoy the older generation of games that makes you use your neurons (pun intended) to get to your objective, this is a must play Avoid if you have a short attention span or prefer your games full of yellow paint Please buy it full price and support this masterpiece
SOMA proves that great writing can only carry a video game so far. While Frictional Games crafts a deeply unsettling world with an incredible narrative, the actual experience of playing it quickly turns into a tedious chore. [h3]The Good: Writing, Music, and Voice Acting[/h3] The strengths here are undeniable. The writing is exceptional, delivering a thoughtful, existential sci-fi story that stays with you long after the credits roll. Every major beat is anchored by fantastic voice acting that brings real emotion and authenticity to the characters. Complementing the story is a standout music score and audio design that builds an oppressively atmospheric, isolated mood. The graphics are decent—nothing mind-blowing, but effective enough at rendering the dark, decaying halls of the PATHOS-II facility. [h3]Why It Falls Apart: The Gameplay[/h3] Despite the narrative strengths, the overall experience fails because the gameplay is painfully basic and boring. Rather than creating meaningful tension, the moment-to-moment mechanics boil down to linear fetch tasks and sluggish, repetitive hide-and-seek stealth with annoying monster encounters. Instead of complementing the story, the gameplay actively sabotages it, feeling like an artificial roadblock designed to pad out the runtime. [h3]Verdict[/h3] SOMA has the narrative backbone, voice talent, and audio design of a masterpiece, but a game still needs to be engaging to play. When the primary interactive elements feel like a sluggish drag, even the best writing can't save the experience from being a frustrating disappointment. Rating: 2/5
brilliant game and story ! if you are looking for a chilling story and beautiful graphics play this game! didnt have one bug playing this, and what can i say the atmosphere is second to none! many a heart stopping moment and bum clencher !
