Feb. 2025
I love Somerville, legitimately might be one of my favorite depictions of an alien invasion ever. Extremely nice looking scenarios, superb environmental audio and memorable moments, with a good mix of slow and frenetic phases. The puzzles are cool too, with nice variety and never giving up on the cinematography nor the satisfaction of the solutions. I absolutely recommend this game to anyone looking for a "cinematic" adventure, a really good addition to the other games we all already know. Esp: Me encanta Somerville, legítimamente podría ser una de mis representaciones favoritas de una invasión alienígena. Escenarios simplemente increíbles, ambientación de audio magnífico y momentos super memorables, con una buena mezcla de periodos lentos y frenéticos. Los puzzles también son geniales, con una buena variedad y nunca dejando la cinematografía ni la satisfacción de las soluciones. Recomiendo absolutamente este juego a cualquiera que busque una aventura "cinematográfica", una adición muy buena para los otros juegos que todos ya conocemos.

Decent environmental puzzle game. Art style is clean but story is dull. Not as interesting as Inside, Limbo or the Little Nightmares games.

Don't let the negative reviews influence you... true, the game play isn't as smooth as Limbo or Inside, but it's not at all catastrophic and doesn't remove you from the game deep atmosphere. The visuals, animation and sounds are just absolutely incredible.

Somerville is a British indie game that is very similar to LIMBO or INSIDE. People hate this comparison, but it can't be helped if the developer founded and worked on LIMBO and INSIDE in the past. The influence can be felt. But while the mentioned games are puzzle focused, Somerville prioritizes atmosphere over gameplay. Meaning less puzzles and they are easy. The game is beautiful. The visuals and atmosphere are stunning. It is truly a work of art. But that is all it is. The controls were annoying and slow. Nothing is explained, you get lost often. Basically rely on intuition. The story is vague and that is getting very annoying at this point! I get it, they are trying to cut costs by skipping voice acting, but come on, every game in this genre does this now!! LIMBO and INSIDE did it, OK no big deal. "Black the Fall", "Planet Alpha" and even the newest "Planet of Lana", all did it too! Figure out the story on your own, it gets tiring.. It is not some deep world we can explore greatly like an some Cloverfield ARG (Alternate Reality game), it is a pretentiously shallow way to hide a non-existent tiny and insignificant story! The ending was the worst too! They recycled multiple segments which we already did. Explained as some illusion/simulation", I say it is cheap. Then at the very end it throws a braindead puzzle at us and does not communicate properly to us what needs to be done. You will get one of the "bad" endings unless you paid attention to every single insignificant detail in the game (like how many times did the dog bark in level 6 out of 12? who tf cares!?) Absolutely no foresight on devs part. A total narrative failure. A short 5 hour long game, but no wonder I fell asleep hence 20 hrs on record. Pretentious narrative that is “up for interpretation", yeah fk right off. I am really on the fence about this game. But for the atmosphere's sake, I'd say is a 51/100.

INSANE art direction and sound design. Great story, heck of a ride. 10/10 from me. An alien invasion story somewhere along the lines of War of the Worlds + Arrival + Close Encounters of the Third Kind + a tiny touch of Interstellar + a tiny TINY touch of Color Out of Space (the vibe, mainly - there is no body horror). I'm placing an emphasis on Arrival due to the theme of communication and its ability to completely change the future of everyone on Earth. You can try to learn the alien language in Somerville, or not. There are 5 possible endings to the game and while you can just stumble into most of them, the ending you get ultimately depends on how much effort you've put into learning to communicate. This is a side-scrolling game with light puzzles and no dialogue, similar to Playdead's games (Limbo, Inside), but technically far less polished. It's got that low budget jank, but this didn't hamper my enjoyment. I felt that the gameplay and controls were pretty intuitive, but it might not be to everyone's standards.
