SOMA

They are not us.. The saddest game I've ever played.

朋友推介,人生玩過的第二隻恐怖遊戲,本身好喜歡深海壓迫感,結尾再來一個哲學震撼,直接定義返恐怖遊戲唔應該只係得驚慄元素,爆機後果種孤獨感同後勁,絕對係一生必玩10/10傑作,仲要係2015年遊戲

Hands down the best horror-story experience I've had for a game, period. I recommend playing this blind! I say this as a stranger on the internet, yes, but I really, really truly mean this: The writing is phenomenal. The atmosphere, extraordinary. This is one of Frictional's best games out there. For the *review* section of this part, I'll get the actual gameplay parts over with quickly: - LEVEL DESIGN: Whilst the level design is good, and most (if not, *all*, really damn immersive) areas feel lived-in, as if we were really in the far-future environment... It also has some major hiccups, which definitely become noticeable towards the end. Does this distract from the experience? A little, yes. It can be a tad frustrating. But looking past that, the environments reward you for looking (mostly lore bits and bobs to find out about!) and the environment is incredibly interactable. It never felt cheesy to do a puzzle. - GAMEPLAY: If you're looking for a thrill, this is the game. If you're looking for an amazing monster-avoid-and-chase experience, this is NOT the game. The monsters respond to thrown distractions and have some incredible sound design, but they are far from perfect and in some cases are very very easy to circumvent. That being said, there were some parts where I didn't feel threatened, and others where I was about to **** my pants. Immersion and characters! It's phenomenal. If you have an issue with characters who seem unrealistic, out of their depth, or unaware/ignorant of the picture-- then SOMA is your game. There are two prevalent protagonists, one of them being the player character. The voicework is simply *mwah* beautiful. And the left-behind voice recordings (in setting) are also great. Although there were a few times where I was certainly not making choices (and the heavy hand of the developer was shown through the protagonist), I was yelling at my screen for the protag to not do something *not* because it was frustrating, but because I felt immersed in the story. The only example, I could think of, where a character in the game was not as clearly cut into the story was in the last chapter-- but the developers and writers still made up for their faults and pulled through. Story! Real head scratcher. In a good way. This is one of those games where you play it and grasp most (if not, all) of its concepts driven forth after playing. It is also a good sit-down-and-be-lazy-but-feel-informed game to watch on YouTube from some video essay mcgee. I won't go much into spoilers, as I think this game is definitely best experienced blind, but the story tackles concepts such as morality, transhumanism, what consciousness is, the apocalypse, and what it means to "be." What would it mean to you if there existed a second copy of you-- not a flesh and bone clone, but a machine who shared a scan of your brain? Parts of this game still give me chills, and the ending makes me feel... something. It's an incredibly odd experience, but also one that I would put on a pedestal for just how unique it is. Go play it!!

Play it and go into it blind like I did you will not regret twin

What a mindf*ck! Amazing game with an amazing story and worldbuilding. Voice acting, atmosphere, sound design, animations, everything was such high quality. You must play this even tho it is scary af.
