Just finished the game… I’m crying… I can’t stop the tears and I keep thinking… This game is literally my favorite game of all time. I’ve never experienced anything like this… I’m a grown man crying like a little kid thinking about all this, about us humans, about our world, our earth… Who am I? Will I someday wake up 200 years from now and will it still be me? Will it even matter anymore? What is life? Why are we alive? Who are we? Can’t stop crying, Jesus… it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to be alive… to feel. Thank you. And that scene with the small dimly lit beacons where you have to run from light to light in a severe storm just like a little moth, a little fish running for dear life. It is truly masterfully done. I can’t describe it but it felt like art. Like a tango, like something you would see in the theatre… in a musical. For a brief moment you feel like a little fish, like a little moth trying to survive, going from light to light to save yourself from the things in the dark. For a moment you go primal you feel the primal fear and the will to live… to survive. And you just keep running from light to light, from light to light, like a moth. In the severe dark storm. This is a masterpiece. Now after a game like this, I doubt there can be anything that goes higher… I can’t call any other game my favorite after completing this one. No other game has made me feel the things this game has. I’m crying. Human life is so brittle… Who are we…?

If you like sci-fi, play this masterpiece. If you like horror, play this masterpiece. If you like games, play this masterpiece. If you do not like games, play this masterpiece. F it, write your masters thesis on it too.

Imagine Outlast without the Camera, Imagine Resident Evil without the weapons, Imagine Silent Hill without the Lead pipe and now add one of the most layered, philosophically dense, gut wrenching narrative with a distopian ending masqueraded as an Utopia which lingers in your mind long after you have finished the game, yet no Replayability value except for the existential dread that you have to carry with you for the rest of your life. 10/10 for making me question reality.

SOMA feels less like a game and more like an experience you go through and honestly, i wasn’t prepared for how much it would stick with me emotionally.. it felt like walking through someone else’s nightmare and slowly realizing it was becoming my own. The story feels personal, heavy and genuinely heartbreaking and the line between the character and myself blurred at times that made every revelation hit even harder.. There’s this constant feeling of isolation and uncertainty that never really lets up and i found myself thinking about its ideas long after i finished it, especially the questions it raises about what it means to be "you" I really loved that it doesn’t rely on constant action or loud moments.. instead it builds tension through atmosphere, story and silence. The game is patient and it asks for patience in return. It has a way of forcing you to slow down, to pause and to really notice the world around you, making you think in ways just a few games do.. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re open to a slower, more emotional experience, SOMA is something truly special and i’m really glad i played it 🖤
