Mar 16, 2016this game is a thoughtful, psychological horror/ sci-fi masterpiece. If you like deep storytelling, and heavy atmosphere then this game is made for you. The scariest thing about this game that it will make you think about life and death, and not in the happy way. there're far worse fates than just dying, it's not an easy game to just digest.

Sep 25, 2015I love SOMA the detail, the story and all the amazing lighting. this game is full of excitement and I love all the characters and the cell phone use. I'm a proud PS4 Gamer and I'm glad this is a console Exclusive. On the PS4 this game will run you about $26.99 well worth the price

Sep 22, 2015I love Frictional Games work. Amnesia was a classic, this game comes 5 years later and feels like a true successor to what they have been working towards. It's an awesome game with a very mature, thought-provoking story that you'll wanna see through to the end. I won't spoil anything but you are in for a treat... Enjoy! 10/10

Sep 23, 2015I played this yesterday, i'm about half way through, and to be honest it really isn't that scary, the monsters are more annoying than scary, but in all it's still amazing and I would highly recommend that if you can, play it.

Dec 8, 2015I loved this game. It got me hooked for the story (about 12 hours) and the world itself is very compelling. It has some tense moments until you find out how to escape from them. The story even surpasses the one in Amnesia. For an horror games fan, this is a must. I give it a 10 because is one of those games that remains in our head after finishing it.
Great work Frictional Games. -

Jun 26, 2016Any score between a 7.5 and 10 for this game is fair. It was creepy, not scary. It has a slow start, the graphics were slightly underwhelming, and the acting was occasionally...subpar. That said, it is within my top 5 favorite PS4 games. The last thing I expected was to become some emotionally involved in the story. If you were ever obsessed with the writer Philip K. Dick, just get this game.

Dec 14, 2016By far my favorite game ever. The horror doesn't come from the monsters but the ideas the game imposes on you and how you take those ideas. When you start to think about what this game really is about, THAT is when the horror starts.

Sep 1, 2019I Love the Game I got it for free on ps plus free monthly games in December of 2018. The game is very unique because it's one of the few games that is a horror game that takes place in the ocean. The story is cool and the game Really has very scary enemies and the sounds they make are even scarier at times.

Jun 27, 2020A história do jogo é muito boa para quem gosta de cenários futuristicos, onde as maquinas assumem controle do planeta, e de teorias de transferência de consciência para computadores, o jogo é praticamente é fugir de seus inimigos e resolver puzzles, jogo transmite uma certa ansiedade e medo ao jogador por controlar um ser indefeso, mas a história é realmente muito boa.

Apr 19, 2020Игра понравилась практически сразу, по атмосфере напоминает Alien: Isolation. Интересный сюжет и твисты присутствуют ну и напугать она весьма способна.

Dec 22, 2020Conceptually and narratively, this is possibly the best game. The gameplay is a little boring, but it is more than covered by the story. It's a pity that only about 15% made it to the end on ps4

Nov 9, 2021Brutal. Jogo incrível. O "pior" jogo de terror que já joguei. Pior porque foi o único até agora que me fez realmente ter medo, causar angústia, não conseguir jogar por muito tempo devido ao quase mal estar que causa. Excelente ambiente, história muito bem conseguida. Obrigatório. Uma obra prima. Realmente assustador.

Sep 28, 2022The best (IMO) game by Frictional Games. The story is absolutely fantastic and the horror is consistent throughout. I've beaten the game twice and really hope they expand on that story somehow.

Dec 20, 2015With intelligent story telling and beautiful imagery, SOMA pushes the boundaries of traditional survival horror in new, psychologically thrilling ways.

Playstation Official Magazine UKNov 16, 2015SOMA's a fascinating interactive story that occasionally wants to murder you dead. [Dec 2015, p.86]

Nov 13, 2015While SOMA never hits the highs of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, it's still largely decent in its own right. Some confused environment design and lackluster monster scenarios work against it, but as an atmospheric jaunt under the sea with a reasonable storyline behind it... well, it works pretty well. Faint praise perhaps, but praise nonetheless.
