Just finished it.
Pretty solid game. Nothing spectacular to play, but the story was really good.
Anyone else have any strong feelings on it?

I watched all the cutscenes.
I liked what I saw, but then again I'm a massive sucker for these sorts of things.
Also the ending was predictable as hell.

In the end does it turn out
Don't want any other spoilers, but I kinda guessed this as soon as I talked to the one dude who was stuck on the assembly line thing

I LOVED the story, J_Madison bought me it on release day and I'd finished it by the next day.
I've been hyped for SOMA since they announced it ages ago.
Loved the ending, will be raving about it for ages.
and
If anyone's interested, they're releasing a mini web series on their Youtube Channel about SOMA, it's the same videos as the ARG they did but in full and they've got the same atmosphere.
Something nice for after the game.

It was an alright game. Some freaky moments here and there but not nearly as scary as I expected. The first horror game I have completed in ages.
The story was pretty cool but also very depressing in a lot of respects.

I actually thought the story was great because of that. Not every tale out there is meant to evoke happiness or feelings of well being.

Yeah, me too.
It's ultimately a really shitty situation that has already happened and been resolved before you ever show up. Everything you do in the game could be argued to be completely-fucking-pointless from a philosophical/existential perspective. You don't save the world. At best you just help some people further their own weird delusions of immortality or something. None of it matters to you, you were never alive in the first place.

Yeah, I get that. It certainly was interesting and memorable but just not the type of story I enjoy the most. In the beginning you have some hope about the situation you are in but pretty fast everything is taken away from you. It's funny how the characters can still persevere in such an environment.
