Somerville (Xbone, Game Pass)
Wow. This debut game from Jumpship feels like the sequel to Inside. No surprise; Jumpship is co-founded by ex Playdead CEO Dino Patti. Play as a dad having The Worst day ever, trying to escape an invasion and find his family, acquiring strange powers along the way. Like Limbo and Inside, this is a no dialogue puzzle game. Unlike those, this outing feels unpolished. One hard crash that even crashed my Xbone. Several moments... 1/2
The Xbone really struggled to keep up, frames dipping into the single digits, the sound getting crunchy. I persevered tho, and rolled credits... But it's got several endings, so I'll likely go back to it soon. It's got a good simple art style, and the sound design is great. Metacritic has it at 73, and that feels right. It's good, worth the 4ish hours, but def a little rough around the edges.
