As one good man said, any decent work should be dedicated to people and human relations. SOMA is not a survival horror, it is a real work of art.

The main advantages of the game can be perfectly called a chic, unpredictable, immersing the story, the great work of the actors of the original voice acting, thoughtful, sometimes literary, but more often live, fit down scenario that allows you to believe the characters, to feel them, to understand. The atmosphere in the game for a solid ten, the sounds of the deep sea and abandoned underwater stations amaze with its authenticity. Graphics is not nextgen, so let it be! Who cares? You will get used to it in 20 minutes, and in 2 hours, it will be like your own.

The game does not just affect, but also considers in detail from all sides such serious questions as: "what is the soul?", "is it possible to transfer our consciousness into an inanimate machine? And will this creation be considered alive, as real as a living person?"

My verdict: this game is not for everyone. Now it is not in fashion to love games in which little action, no Hollywood scale, games in which people are put at the forefront and dialogues, and not stupid and narrow-minded action. Sadly, many will miss this masterpiece. But, this time off to put your heart and soul into their work unprofitable - will not appreciate, do not understand, and past pass.

If you are tired of the same type and template stories about the eternal wars and epic feats, if you want, though for a short time, to plunge into a truly interesting and wonderful world of the endless depths of the sea, concealing in its depths a lot of dangers and mysteries, then you should definitely go through this game.
