This is the only walking sim that had actually impacted me in any shape or form. Where games like Edith Finch squander for me, SOMA excels in every possible regard. The story that's tied to philosophical questions that have been explored many times before was still immensely engaging and leaves you with an amazing ending that, with any form of attention paid, could've been seen coming, but STILL hits as hard as it could.

This game HAD to be a walking sim to work honestly, it lets you absorb yourself in the dense, hopeless atmosphere the game perfects. But at the same time, I just wish that element was done better...the game's a lot better in Safe mode and I personally wouldn't bother with the monster encounters as they're generic and really easy at the same time.

Thankfully the game is really short and because of that it's a really easy recommendation to just sit through and absorb this incredible experience.
