SOMA (Possible spoilers)

SOMA is really good (in my opinion, best) sci-fi horror game. Events in this game happen under Atlantic ocean where things have gone badly wrong. You play this game as Simon Jarrett trying to survive in Pathos-II facility with a "friend". This game and it's story will really stick with you for some time. It is amazing experience for anyone who likes horror and sci-fi themed games.

You have to run away from different monsters and hide so they can't catch you. There are many monsters in soma and they behave differently. Story in soma is mind-blowing and good enough for a movie, I can not even find words for how well it has been made. It might make you think what it really means to be human. Gameplay works also really well. Graphics are just amazing. Underwater worlds look so nice as well as things inside Pathos-II facility.

In soma you don't have inventory, you just carry a thing named omnitool, that gives you acces to different places. That makes the gameplay simple and you can just focus on the game and its story. You are also given few puzzles, some of wich are a bit hard to figure out and some relatively easy to get trough. I personally loved all of them. Gameplay is simple in other ways also, you do not have to combat, only hide and sometimes... run. You can pick up stuff from floors and throw them to make noise for distracting enemies and use doors etc. Enemies in soma are well made. They are pretty scary, others not so much but others are really scary and hard to "beat". You are also given options in some parts of the story, like kill a robot to get power for a door etc. All the things mentioned above make this game a really good experience. Last but not least, yes this game manages to be scary besides just the monsters. Try it and see yourself.

Personally this was one of the best games I have ever played in my life. I only wish it was a bit longer, it was over so fast ;_; I played 14 hours to finish this game, It's long enough for the money and to work well with its story etc. Sequel/prequel to this would be just perfect. My rating for this game 10/10.

A sequel would be great but this game is the definition of quality over quantity.
