Can I Run SOMA PC?
Released in 2015, SOMA PC is an action adventure game built by Frictional Games. The game supports a single player campaign. With more than 45 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It carries 10 achievements. Critics scored it 84 on Metacritic. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Steam lists support for 8 languages. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows.
