Just finished the game, my opinion

Recently i played SOMA and the game play is pretty good. I like the way that you interact with the enemies in this game; they don't immediately kill you, but first freak out your display.

The plot is pretty captivating, but it really makes you work for bits and pieces of the backstory rather than just handing it to you.

I only ran into one gamebreaking bug, when my character phased out of the gameplay area into empty space and I couldn't bring him back.

Most of the puzzles and challenges are reasonable, but there are a couple that are asinine and that you don't really have any hope of getting without cheating or foreknowledge. I mean to say that I'm thinking of two specific parts of the game where you're going to be wandering aimlessly without knowing what to do.

While the story of SOMA was interesting, it made me really uncomfortable in an existential sort of way. This isn't really the sort of philosophical quandary I expect to get when I'm playing a video game. I'm being serious when I say you should put this game down if you are troubled by thoughts about what happens after death and the future of the human race.
