Just finished it...it's, let's say, more of an experience than a game.

The world is gorgeous, dialog is witty and voice acting is pretty good, but ultimately its story is not what (I presume) most players have expected out of it...maybe that's on purpose, but it left me somewhat in "meh" mood in the end.

I think it's something that should be experienced, but given its 4-5 hour length and no replay value, current price is a bit too high (plus I hear there are currently lot of frame rate issues on PS4).

Hmm?... Is the story better than SOMA's?

Unfortunately, haven't played SOMA yet. But let's just say, you expect (or hope for) story to unfold in one way, and it takes another direction...as I said, maybe devs intentionally did that (can't get more into that, since it would be spoilers), but it left me (and it seems a lot of other folks) a bit underwhelmed. Hopefully, other devs will try the same format, hopefully with a bit better stories.

I would still recommend it though, just not at current price.
