SOMA : Survival Horror from makers of Amnesia

Well, got it and had a quick play. Once you get into the dark stuff it's fun, has a vide of Alien: Isolation to it, the sound ambience and audio in general is superb. very atmospheric.

Optimisation is great, runs at 60fps at 3440x1440 no problem with max settings, FXAA and AF. 21:9 support and FOV slider out the box. Neat!

Screenshots in screenshot thread.
 
it's a superb game so far. graphics are stunning, lighting , shadows are all top notch. voice acting is impressive, especially in anger. sound design is very well done. how you interact with things impressed me. suspenseful and tense atmosphere . i got a Bioshock , Doom 3 , Alien Isolation influence with this.
 
Really enjoying this so far. Love the atmosphere! Though a fair bit less intense than Amnesia (so far).

Unfortunately my main SSD with the saves decided to die on me yesterday. Not sure how the save games work but if someone could upload one for me to try, that would be handy. :D I was a few hours in and had just gotten to Theta station.
 
Finished this last night. Absolutely cracking game, my personal G.O.T.Y.

Deserves to be right up there with Bioshock and System Shock 2.

Sad that it will be some time before the next Frictional game comes out, will have to replay Amnesia at some point for a fix.
 
Just finished it myself. It was good but nothing amazing. Comparing it to SS2... just no.

It was quite atmospheric, but still has that indy game feel to it; short length, very basic exploration and puzzles and passable voice-acting. Given a larger budget though, I'm sure these guys could produce something truly epic.

The whole navigate from room to room while avoiding creepy unkillable alien thing is a frictional games trademark but it's getting a bit tiresome IMO. I also found the water sections pretty tedious.

The plot/concept was interesting, but can't say much here without spoilers. I only wish it had a bit more depth.
 
Completed. Experience worth every crown as we say i sweden.
Awsome story and atmosphere. Only horror game i can compare with is Alien isolation. Both are good in different ways. Liked the story better in Soma :)
 
Back and forth, back and forth, find objects, hide, rinse and repeat. Why do I play boring Amnesia games :(
 
Great game. the horror elements arent over done and no gameplay puzzle felt repeated, just a nice solid story and an amazing atmosphere! strictly played in the dark with head phones. i imagine playing mid day with the volume down wouldnt give the same effect :)
