Introduction:
Somervilleis a third person sci-fi adventure. It includes some light platforming and physics based puzzles as you attempt to reunite with your family during an alien invasion. Along the way, you begin to unravel the mystery of the aliens and the humans technological advances. Inspired by Limbo and Inside, Somervilleis a must for fans of those games and that style.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
You'll want to playthrough Somervilleunlocking most achievements along the way and finding the alien creatures for First Contact (200G); however, it isn't a big deal if you miss anything. The game features Chapter Select so you can always back track for anything missed. Additionally, you'll need to replay the final chapter multiple times to complete each ending, unlocking Resignation Reprise (100G), War of the worlds (100G), Family First (100G), and Understanding (200G).

Mop-Up:
As mentioned above, you'll want to use Chapter Select to back track for any achievements, alien creatures or endings you didn't complete in your first playthrough. Otherwise, this completion is pretty straighforward.

Conclusion:
Somervilleis a great addition to the genre and though the puzzles are simplistic, the mystery and intrigue of the world makes up for it. There aren't any branching paths, outside of the various endings, which are all up for your own interpretation. It is an easy recommendations for fans of the genre and a pretty simple 1000!
