      It really is a unique experience. There are of course books that provide a more impactful view on existentialism. But books are passive. Soma is one of its kind in terms of active media, where you are the protagonist (on some level).

      It’s one of those games that I think highlights that video games can be art.

        Very well succinctly put

        It’s one of those games that I think highlight that video games can be art.

        I fully agree and I wish that others would seriously consider giving games a try before shelving them and only considering them as mere toys.
