Somerville

Tragic story this. What looks like a spiritual successor to Inside, and made by the same art director but by a different studio, Somerville ultimately disappoints. While the art style and storytelling is indeed the same, the puzzles are difficult to work out, the controls are clunky and it really isn’t a great experience playing this game. Maybe they’ve rushed it, maybe I don’t really get the story, but the mixed reviews are right. I’m glad I’ve played it through on Game Pass, but certainly it was a little frustrating.
