Pros:
Cons:
Verdict: Soma will not be for everyone as it is a pretty slow-burn game with puzzle sections that many may find boring. Apart from some rough edges, the highly thought provoking story and ideas made this game something more interesting than just a usual walking simulator (which it does feel at times). A decent game to get if you're interested in an intriguing sci-fi story but don't mind some bland gameplay.
7.5 / 10.
- Great story and interesting characters

- Great sound design
- Doesn't hold your hand
Cons:
- Gameplay is abit dull
- Movement is kinda sluggish
- Some tedious sections
- Some enemies feel like annoyances
