Bè è da un pezzo che sony pesca a strascico tra gli indie pc, non sorprende se hanno proposto anche a Frictional di fare un porting del loro prossimo gioco

Il genere mi ha scatafasciato le palle però loro son veramente bravi + ambientazioni marine = hai la mia attenzione.

prime recensioni:

Twinfinite - 5/5

All in all, SOMA is a fantastic game. From the detailed world in which it takes place, the engaging plot, and the perfect amount of creeping terror and suspense, there’s a lot to love if you’re into horror. Speaking as someone who hasn’t delved as much into the genre, I still found myself fascinated and not wanting to pull away.

Rely on Horror - 9.5/10

SOMA is Frictional Games’ best work yet and a tour de force in the survival horror genre. It subjects players to finely crafted sensory and narrative horrors, with an effectively unsettling story and polished design. SOMA may not be a revolutionary title within the genre, but its pacing and how it frames its terrors is masterclass. It’s far more narrative driven than the studio’s past work as well; a compelling cast of characters and philosophical story makes SOMA more than just a series of good scares. The studio has nearly a decade of experience crafting horror and it shows. It’s a damn fine example of what the survival horror genre can accomplish

ZTGD - 9.5/10

It’s not very often that a game comes along and makes you think long and hard afterward while hitting you in the face with emotion, but here I am. Soma is both an extremely beautiful and terrifying experience. While I still think Amnesia takes the cake for scare factor, everything else in Soma is done better here Story, visuals, and the soundtrack are superb and top tier from Frictional at this point. One of the best sci-fi stories I’ve every experience in a videogame and one that can get under your skin.

Destructoid - 9/10

SOMA gets everything right about the the survival horror genre. It’s like someone created the perfect video game mixtape -- a little bit of abandoned underwater atmosphere from BioShock, detailed environments a la Gone Home, and (of course) the frenzied monster mechanics from Amnesia. Even if you dislike non-combat-oriented games, I dare you to give it a try

Gamespot - 9/10

I came in expecting something similar to Amnesia, just in a terrifying new location, but what I found is an intelligent game that forced me to think and contemplate ideas as only the best sci-fi is capable of doing. 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 in a genre that’s deserving of more than just simple jump scares.

The Sixth Axis - 9/10

I’ve never played a game that’s affected me as much as SOMA, and to be honest I’m not sure I want to ever again, although I’m very glad I did. It has the DNA of movies like Alien, 2001, Sunlight, and Event Horizon, with a splash of the original Dead Space and Bioshock, but brings plenty of new ideas to the table. It makes you think about what it means to be alive, and indeed how you classify life, and is a brilliant example of just how far video games have evolved.

The Jimquisition - 8/10

Intentional or not, SOMA regardless provides that example. This is not just another horror game. It’s a science fiction story with horrific shades, a game that ponders the human condition in an industry where “the human condition” has become an awkward dead horse of a phrase. A horror game that, curiously, would have benefited from a little less horror.
Simply put – there needs to be more games like this in the world.

Gamesradar - 3.5/5

A disturbingly different take on interesting sci-fi concepts let down by a slow start and disappointing monsters, but worth it overall.

Kotaku - YES

Though jump scares are fun in the moment, they don’t last. The best horror sticks with you long after the credits roll, an uneasy feeling that lingers uncomfortably in the moments before you fall asleep. I’ve been thinking about what happened in SOMA for days now, especially the game’s closing minutes, and can’t let it go. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. If that’s not a sign of success, I’m not sure what is.

Eurogamer - Recommended

That Frictional has been able to take such an over-used concept as exploring an abandoned research base, populated by bloody corpses and monsters, and turn it into a sombre philosophical adventure that is also exciting and even funny, is quite the achievement. It may not move the genre forwards much in terms of mechanics, but it spins a story you'll be glad to have experienced.

Gamersyde - N/A

After Amensia: The Dark Descent, Frictional Games are back with some serious arguments which will automatically appeal to science-fiction and horror fans alike. Thanks to a good sense of storytelling and a very atmospheric world, the Swedish developers have bested their previous game with quite a memorable title. By putting the player under constant pressure instead of conveying visceral fear (though the more sensitive ones should be terrified alright), SOMA may interest a wider audience than Amnesia, but it still remains a game for the brave. Although the emphasis on story is important, it doesn't mean gameplay mechanics are reduced to their minimum, quite the contrary. Those not particularly receptive to the "walking simulator genre" can rest assured that SOMA is not one of those games. In the end, we can vouch for Frictional Games' new creation and strongly advise you to give it a go as soon as tomorrow.

PC World - N/A

SOMA is not the horror game I expected out of Frictional, but I don’t care and it doesn’t matter. This is an excellent work of science fiction, not necessarily unique but uniquely told through its skillful use of video game conceits. It’s System Shock 2 for a modern sensibility, BioShock freed of its AAA chains. It’s damn good and, for my money, the most cohesive and ambitious game Frictional’s made so far.

Ieri sera ero inchiodato al divano a causa della moglie che voleva vedere la TV. così ho sbirciato una live su questo gioco dal cellulare... BOOOOORING!

Mamma mia! il tizio è stato parecchio tempo a girare avanti e indietro a premere su terminali, guardare foto ecc... mi sembrava anche un tipo "sveglio" non è che stava li a cincischiare. mi sembra che sia proprio il gameplay ad essere così lento.

credo che il problema stia nel "guardare" , è ovvio che guardare qualcuno che perde tempo a frugare nei cassetti o a setacciare la stanza sia di una noia mortale e passi il tempo a dire "si ok, bello ma vuoi andare avanti?" ma se sei tu a giocare è tutto un'altro paio di maniche, perché sei tu a decidere dove e quanto guardare



vabbe io mi annoio a guardare qualsiasi gioco, anche se lo guardo giusto per capire le meccaniche metto velocità 4x o salto pezzi, più di 30 secondi di gameplay non li reggo non so come fa certa gente a guardarsi interi giochi

[eric_starbuck]

Potrebbe essere, anzi, sicuramente è così. da quello che ho visto sembrava avere quasi meccaniche da avventura grafica, del tipo: "e ora come cacchio sblocco quella porta?"

Giocato due ore, atmosfera bomba.

Facci sapere se anche tu ti sentirai "spaesato" e ti troverai a girare avanti e indietro un po' a vuoto, per capire come proseguire.

Paradossalmente ho passato più tempo per cercare di capire come uscire dalla prima stanza Risolta quella poi sono andato avanti fluidissimo. Gli ambienti non sono così intricati e tutta l'esperienza è abbastanza lineare, quindi basta un pochino di esplorazione e memoria per capire dove andare e cosa fare, niente di impossibile o frustrante. Per il resto atmosfera magistrale e una trama che nonostante si basi su alcuni dettagli che non mi convincono ha una profondità decisamente soddisfacente. Come "tematiche" è molto vicino (e contemporaneamente lontanissimo come struttura) a Talos Principle.

se non fosse che fifa16 è uscito ieri e sono dietro a mad max lo prenderei al volo.
neva ma il titolo vale il costo?

[Nevade]

Eh, detto così non vuol dire niente
Personalmente si ma perché mi interessano particolarmente i temi trattati
