          Just got around to this game, you saying it was a walking sim made me less anxious, but man it did feel scary at times, especially near the end I got the creeps. Was worth it though, although the story was very sad

            I’m really glad that I got someone else to play it. I was very moved by the story in that game. It was so incredibly hopeless, and somehow that hopelessness is what made the game so incredible.

            By the way, since you liked the game, the Swedish scifi movie “Aniara” gave me the same feeling of hopelessness as SOMA. I fully recommend it.

          Yeah that’s fine, Death Stranding was amazing too and that’s mostly a walking sim aswell

        I kinda wish SOMA hit for me but I was already well-aware of the “teleportation problem” and have an established position, so instead I was frustrated at the slow pace of much of the game and annoyed that the protagonist didn’t understand. It felt like “Bioshock at home”.

        Half-Life is very different but also extremely good. And that’s despite it not even being my favorite Valve series, Portal is.

          If you liked Portal 2, check out The Entropy Centre on Steam. It’s extremely similar but the puzzles are based on a different concept. Super freakin’ fun though. And a great story, just like Portal 2.

          Also Portal Revolutions (fan made mod) is absolutely fantastic. It really felt like Portal 3.

        And by HL2 you mean Half Life 2? Which has a shitty and unfinished story and way less atmosphere than its original game HL1???
