Just a few moments ago the new wave of games to be released was announced. join Xbox Game Pass in the second half of October. A wave starring A Plague Tale: Requiem and Persona 5 Royal, but also featuring many other great games. In that sense, today we give you 5 reasons to play Somawhich will be available on Xbox Game Pass this week, on October 20 specifically, to the delight of all horror fans, and more so on these special dates when ‘spooky’ is on everyone’s lips.
an adult story
Many horror games deal with topics that other titles don’t usually deal with. This is also the case with Soma, but Frictional Games’ work goes one step further. Soma talks about human consciousness, identity, and what makes us truly human. All this from a philosophical, logical and metahuman point of view that makes us reflect as we advance in its history.
Atmosphere
As a good horror game, Soma boasts an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere. Not in vain, the story takes place in an underwater environment in the purest BioShock style, with which it shares some similarities. Every corridor, installation and, of course, our walks under the water, generate in us a sensation of discomfort and disgust, at the same time that it is exciting.
Music
The Soma soundtrack, created by the Finnish composer Mikko Tarmia, is one of the great values of the Frictional Games video game. As if the story and the magnificently drawn characters were not enough, the musical pieces not only accompany perfectly when they should, but there are some themes that will remain engraved in your memory.
Its end
Obviously we are not going to talk about the end of Soma, but we do tell you that it is very worthwhile to reach its very end. The game is around ten hours long, so it won’t take you long to catch up either. What we can say is that the end of Soma is one of those that leave a mark. Never forget.
Sniper Elite 4 and 7 other games will leave Xbox Game Pass at the end of October
Halloween
With success, Game Pass will include several games framed in the horror genre in the coming days, just in time for Halloween. Soma is a perfect title for these dates and it is the last reason, but not the least, to recommend a game that is generally underrated or even underknown.
