Critic Reviews
Somerville Review – Home Planet
Somerville is a flawed game and doesn't execute all of its ideas perfectly, but from its captivating story to some of its striking imagery, there's plenty still to like in this brief adventure.
70%Somerville Review – War Of The Worlds
It feels like cheating to call Somerville a debut indie title when its creator’s individual pedigree is so strong, but it’s a tremendous spiritual successor to both Limbo and Inside. It takes an ordinary setting, quickly removes all normalcy, and takes the player on a fleeting sci-fi thrill ride that makes use of every second of your attention that it has.
85%Somerville Review
With striking artwork and a sci-fi story worthy of Hollywood, it’s safe to say that Somerville grabbed us from the very start.
