All in all, SOMA is a fantastic game. From the detailed world in which it takes place, the engaging plot, and the perfect amount of creeping terror and suspense, there’s a lot to love if you’re into horror.

SOMA is not the horror game I expected out of Frictional, but I don’t care and it doesn’t matter. This is an excellent work of science fiction, not necessarily unique but uniquely told through its skillful use of video game conceits. It’s System Shock 2 for a modern sensibility, BioShock freed of its AAA chains. It’s damn good and, for my money, the most cohesive and ambitious game Frictional’s made so far.

As with any thoughtful storytelling, Soma works on multiple levels. The exploration of an underwater base is the most obvious. The deeper level is a metaphor about identity. I/you/we are each isolated survivors trapped in an outpost, looking out at the vast dark indifference of the sea, at the tragedy of a ruined world, at the unlimited possibility of the stars.
