I knew this game would rock !
One of my most anticipated one in this year.
This gen is so good for the horror lovers : ALienIsolation, UntilDawn, EvilWithin, Outcast and now Soma.

It's definitely a revival.

A glorious, wonderful revival.

I'll always remember those years 2008–2012 with regret and contempt.

Any word on how well it runs on PS4?

Playing it currently middle level pausing to load, frame rate dips and stuttering.

That sucks. That'll make me keep my money.

There's a worrying lack of STASIS in that list. If you like point'n'click adventures get on that.

Never had stuttering, frame rate dips are rare and the pause to load is what? 2, 3 seconds?

Is it annoying? Sure, but hardly game breaking. Speaking from mine experience with the game (played it for 6 hours).

Soma is absolutely playable on PS4 and if anyone has any interest in a good horror game those factors shouldn't stop then.

If you have a gaming PC then obviously it is the better version just because of mod support, no to mention better performance and graphics.

Here's another review:

We Got This Covered - 4/5

 

[Spaced33]

Ugh, so disappointed it didn't go up at midnight on US psn like Frictional said it would. I really wonder why they had bad information on their own game.

If it goes up when the PS store updates normally on Tuesdays there is no way I'll be playing it today : (

Hoping for a Halloween PSN sale on this.

 

[kamineko]

Holy shit, this slipped under my radar & sounds terrific. Thanks for the heads up, GAF

 

[harrisk954]

It is discounted for PS Plus members for $27...i think I want it, but at that price, is it worth it or wait for a sale?

And a great review from The Washington Post

But whereas other sci-fi horror games like “Dead Space” or “Alien: Isolation” focus on delivering a series of visceral jolts via the near-omnipresent threat of violent death, “SOMA” goes in for the mind game. The emotionally uncomfortable situations Simon is placed in will bite at your nerves more than any pesky xenomorphs.
