Somerville

"A Cinematically Incredible But Mechanically Disappointing Video Game (...) Somerville‘s worth an evening’s entertainment, but it looks a lot better than it plays. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"Somerville needed a bit more time to convey its major themes (...) and though it builds up an interesting universe that leaves me with questions regarding its alien overlords, I was surprised to find in myself an indifference toward finding the truth that's out there." 

"Somerville has ties to modern legends Limbo and Inside, but it’s equally reminiscent of another Hall of Famer: Out of This World. The end result is a unique physics-based puzzle adventure that isn’t quite on the level of the games that inspired it, but is nevertheless an extraterrestrial nightmare worth exploring." 

"Limbo, and especially Inside, understood that a memorable ending makes for a memorable game. Somerville retains this lesson (...) For all the craft required to make a clear, playable movie, nothing beats the otherworldly weirdness of video games." 

"An enjoyable way to spend an evening, if you’re getting to play it free on Game Pass, but you’re unlikely to still be thinking about it later; not in the way the previous games got inside your head (...) disappointing follow-up to Limbo and Inside that lacks the same complexity of plot and puzzles. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
