SOMA is not the horror game I expected from Frictional, but it’s an excellent piece of science fiction that feels of a piece with stories by Harlan Ellison and Philip K. Dick as much as Frictional’s previous work.

Critic Reviews
A tension filled ride through madness
A thought-provoking journey that creates tension with its brilliant audio work, SOMA lacks some of the jump scares found in other survival horror games, but offers new ideas that keep you totally immersed.
85%SOMA Review
In a spectacularly immersive setting supported by masterful sound design, SOMA is solid evidence that Frictional Games are still in total control when it comes to horror.
85%SOMA Review
SOMA is smart and scary science fiction. Not all of its ideas work, but it's worth playing for the story alone.
