Top Critic
A masterpiece of audio and visual design, SOMA is atmospheric, cerebral, and occasionally frustrating.
Top Critic
The makers of Amnesia ease back on the horror, ramp up the philosophy and strike a satisfying balance between narrative and gameplay.
Top Critic
SOMA is smart and scary science fiction. Not all of its ideas work, but it's worth playing for the story alone.
Top Critic
A disturbingly different take on interesting sci-fi concepts let down by a slow start and disappointing monsters, but worth it overall.
Top Critic
A daringly complex ode to the works of Philip K. Dick, and although the mix of survival horror and existential storytelling doesn't always work it's never less than gripping.
Top Critic
A gripping mix of survival horror and existential science fiction storytelling, which is notably improved by an optional new safe mode.
Top Critic
Playing cat-and-mouse with monsters feels formulaic at this point, but Soma's engrossing subsea environment and intriguing narrative keep the entire experience afloat
Top Critic
SOMA may not be as scary as Amnesia, but it is without a doubt a stronger game
Top Critic
It may not stir the hordes of wailing YouTubers looking for the next best haunted house, but SOMA succeeds at crafting something much more meaningful than jump-scares.
Top Critic
If sweating profusely and screaming into the void is your idea of fun, SOMA absolutely delivers.
