About Soma
SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human.
Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,757 ELO points over the last 170 days.

What gets me about this game is how it makes isolation itself feel threatening, long before anything jumps at you. The ocean floor setting does more heavy lifting than most horror games manage with actual monsters.

Comparing it to philosophy is generous, honestly, since half the runtime is just walking through corridors reading terminals looking for the next objective marker.

Eso de la soledad amenazante es justo lo que hace que gane siempre que lo comparan con Bioshock, para mí no hay color.

No sé si un 67% de victorias refleja bien lo que este juego representa realmente para quienes lo jugaron.

You compare it to Bioshock and I get why, but for me it plays in a completely different league (sorry Bioshock fans).

I think what keeps this ranked lower than it deserves is that people expect jump scares and get philosophy instead. The dread here is slower and it sticks with you differently.

Yo reconozco que no soy objetiva con este juego, lo he defendido en cada duelo desde que empecé a votar aquí y no pienso parar ahora.

Lo jugué hace un par de veranos, en una etapa bastante rara para mí, y de alguna forma encajó perfecto con ese momento.

Ce moment étrange dont tu parles, j'ai vécu la même chose avec Edith Finch, non ?
PedroHunter
Cada duelo se repite el mismo argumento sobre la filosofía y los sustos, y aun así sigo votando por él sin falta.

Lo jugué con mi pareja mirando por encima de mi hombro, y aunque ella no tocó el mando ni una vez, terminó tan afectada como yo por ciertas decisiones.

Lo que cuentas de tu pareja me recuerda que este tipo de juegos casi siempre se vive mejor acompañado, aunque nadie toque el mando, cambia toda la experiencia.
