SOMA 2015 App Reviews
Great but small bugs...
The game was running smooth until the underwater portion… the graphics are so messed up I can’t see or find my way. MBP mid-2015
Very great game with an epic storyline of saving humanity and runs very smoothly, I especially like the 30 fps refresh rate with adaptive V sync option which regulates fps excellently on those intel intergrated GPUs.
Interesting Story & Amazing Graphics & Effects
Really interesting story line. Good acting.
Running this on a brand new 2015 Macbook Pro 15” with AMD Radeon M370X (2 GB) graphics. The game runs great until the underwater sequences, whereupon it is unplayable due to some kind of graphics glitch. As a side note, my computer runs Homeworld, SimCity 4K, and the whole Bioshock series with no issues. HIGHLY recommend Apple and/or Frictional look into this as a patch to the game or OSX graphics support. It’s really too bad, because it seems to be a well-designed game.
I was very interested until the underwater sequence. I am running a late 2015 Mac desktop. The graphics requirements are met and there is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to play this game flawlessly. Yet for some unknown reason, the graphics are choppy and very difficult to navigate during the fourth stage in the game. Will be deleting this and asking for my money back.
I’m running this on the new 2015 MacBook with AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2Gb and it plays well up until the underwater sequence. After that hits, the game is basically unplayable. I believe it is an issue with graphics card support. If you go into the package contents of the application in the resources folder and change the undergrowth folder to _undergrowth it will remove the glitchy graphics but add a slight lighting issue. It will definitley make the game playable again though.
Loved it up until the underwater sequence
Dont buy this game until they fix the underwater sequence.
I took a chance, since there were lots of warnings about this program not working on some machines, but I’m glad I did! I have a mid-2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch, and it runs very well. I set all the video settings to max, and it was a little sluggish, but when I backed off on the screen resolution, it ran fine (and still looks great!).
Best Game I have ever played
I love soma it's such a awesome game to play and highly recommend everyone give the game a try and check it out if they haven't already yet. Its super detailed and has a pretty interesting story involved in it.
Disappointed? Not any more
I gambled and lost. I was hoping I wouldn’t have the problems some had with the underwater sequence. Unfortunately I did. I have a 27 inch iMac with 8 gb of ram, and an AMD R9 M380 graphics card. After almost a year, you would think this problem would have been addressed.. Especially for 30 bucks I updated my operating system to High Sierra 10.13.2, and it works great. Changed rating from 1 to 5 stars I’m glad I was able to come back and change my review
Great adventure! Runs well on my Macbook Pro.

Great game, but graphic support is only so-so
