I played through the first and part of the second. First one is quite scary and has an engaging story!

Somewhere almost at the end there's a 'level' where the player need to walk across the ocean floor under a rough 'weather', be sure to check that part out, it's a highly immersive experience.

There's some effort to port it to VR, I can't even begin to fathom the kind of feelings that could emerge from such an immersion (pun intended, the game sets stage on the ocean floor).

Horror games in VR are way too much for me. I can't handle games like HL:A and the walking dead one. Its just too stressful. A shitty horror game on PC becomes terrifying in VR.
The sound design in SOMA was incredible. They sold that scene so well I felt exhausted after it.
