SOMA

A confident step forward after Amnesia. And damn it makes me very happy that this step has been taken in favor of history. No matter how much I love Amnesia, the gameplay nuance of eternal escape from the monster was still depressing, and the fact that in Soma they reduced this to a minimum is pleasing.

This game, like Amnesia and Penumbra, has puzzles that require enemies to hide from, run away from, or not look at, but there are far fewer of them. For that reason, SOMA has good graphics showing a gloomy laboratory at the bottom of the ocean and, most importantly, it is an amazing story, after completing it, it will remain in the memory for a long time and will make you talk about it more than once.

Excellent horror and the best creation of Frictional Games. Gloomy atmosphere, entertaining gameplay, constant feeling of tension and fear, excellent sound and design. I'm still waiting for the second part of one of the best horror films of all time.
