Those who go in hoping for something with more meat to it and get immersed in the in-game world seem to like it quite a bit
Of course they were.
They had malicious intent from the get go.
Going on the reviews, the person was like the bully of the playground. Just there to try and ruin everyone's fun.
It's nice to see the reviews are the total counter to this, but oh my lord the comments section on Eurogamer is dreadful.
There is so much stupid there, my eyes wanted to bleed. So many stupid kids panning the game because it doesn't comform to AAA console standards.

Rock Paper Shotgun's Adam Smith's two cents on SOMA.
Does not have a score, rather looks at the positive and negative aspects. I skimmed through it, and it does not seem to contain spoilers.

Quote:GOL (Gry-OnLine PL) 8.5/10
PROS: marvelously designed, thoughtful, consistent and a great looking world;
constant feeling of uncertainty, almost tangible fear - a very dense atmosphere;
diversity of the different stages and confrontation with underwater monsters;
simple but interesting realized logic elements;
environmental puzzles diversifying gameplay;
quite satisfactory exploration; holding the tempo, smooth narrative story ...
Cons: ... which disappoints its content;
incompetence accompanying the presentation of the "depth" of production;
unconvincing main character.

Quote: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.[/quote]

Whoa yeah it looks a bit harsh, but we need to remember that reviews are subjective and are based on the reviewer's personal feelings.
