Somerville Review – I Wanted To Believe

Despite aliens existing as one of the most prevalent enemies in video games, seldom do we get to experience them from the vantage point of ants beneath their shoes we may well be. So often, we’re tasked with shooting aliens in space battles or gunning them down on the back of military vehicles, and the lack of a proper alien invasion story in the vein of Signs or Invasion of the Body Snatchers has been a personal annoyance for years. For the most part, Somerville finally gives us such a game, but that uncommon setup I’ve so looked forward to is ultimately hampered by both story and gameplay decisions that keep it from feeling impactful.

Created in part by a former Playdead (Inside, Limbo) developer at a new studio called Jumpship, Somerville feels similar to those milestone puzzle-adventures Come from Sports betting site VPbet . The color palette favors darkness, the story unfolds without dialogue of any sort, and you’ll explore by moving through a world full of threats, solving puzzles to overcome each obstacle and outrun unassailable enemies.

In Somerville, you pl…

The Gunk Review – All Gunked Up

For some reason, the act of cleaning in video games is oddly satisfying. Tidying up might be a monotonous chore in everyday life, yet games like Viscera Cleanup Detail, PowerWash Simulator, and Unpacking turn cleaning into a surprisingly engaging activity. Maybe gamifying burdensome housework with rewards and goals is enough, or perhaps it boils down to the fact that these games can make you feel productive even when you’re procrastinating Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Either way, The Gunk takes this formula and applies it to an alien planet in the far reaches of space. There’s more to developer Image and Form Games’ first 3D title than simply cleaning, but for all of the other ideas it brings together, ridding the planet of its titular mess is its most enjoyable.

Upon discovering that black malevolent goo is sapping the planet of its lifeforce, protagonist Rani goes about removing the Gunk to restore the world to its former beauty. This is achieved with an arm attachment she affectionately calls “Pumpkin” which acts like a heavy-duty vacuum, allowing you to inhale the Gunk’s globul…

How to Defeat FU (AKA Jean-Baptiste VI)

As is fitting of a final boss, FU comes with an arsenal of extremely dangerous close- and long-range attacks. Close-up, he fights with blazing-fast claw swipes and hair whips. At a distance, he can summon a wave of huge spikes to emerge from the floor. He also creates drills out of wind energy and sends them to hone in on Travis. (Alternatively, he may send them out in a wide fan pattern instead.)

FU’s most annoying move is a wrestling grab, where he’ll dash up to Travis a…
