SOMA

SOMA is not only a horror game. It is a philosophical experience about identity, consciousness, and the desperate human need to believe that moving forward still means something. What makes the story so powerful is that both the main character and the player want to believe in continuity. Every time the game offers a new step forward, it feels like progress, like survival, like escape. But gradually you understand the terrible truth: you are not transferred. You are copied. A new version continues, while the previous one remains behind, alone under the ocean, still conscious, still believing that something went wrong. That idea makes the game deeply unsettling. It is not just about the fear of death, but about the fear that survival itself may be an illusion. In a strange way, SOMA also reflects something profoundly human: our desire to leave something of ourselves in the future. Perhaps even having children can be seen as a natural, imperfect form of this longing... not a true copy of the self, but a continuation of life, memory, and possibility beyond our own ending. But in SOMA, this hope is stripped of its comfort. The copies are not symbolic. They are conscious. They suffer. They remain. If there are many versions of you, which one is truly “you”? What happens to the ones left behind? And what kind of meaning can a person still search for when there is nothing left except their own mind, their memories, and the need to keep going? SOMA stays with you because it does not give easy answers. It forces you to think about what we really are, what we are willing to believe, and what remains of hope when the body, the world, and even the idea of the self begin to fall apart. A disturbing, intelligent, and unforgettable game.

This is still the best story I have come across in a game,. I can never play it again though, cant risk ruining the memory of my first playthough. 10/10

At first, this game didn't really grab me. I thought it was just another horror game, and I almost dropped it. I'm really glad I didn't. The more I played, the more I realized this isn't just about cheap jump scares. SOMA delivers a kind of psychological horror that sticks with you long after you stop playing. The atmosphere is incredible, and the gameplay stays focused without adding unnecessary mechanics that would only get in the way. But the real masterpiece here is the story. It constantly makes you question things, and the ending... wow. I won't spoil anything, but that final plot twist is one of the best I've ever experienced in a game. If you're looking for a horror game that makes you think as much as it scares you, don't skip SOMA. Just give it a little time. It gets better and better the deeper you go.
