Somerville Is the Next Xbox, PC Exclusive Plotting PS5, PS4 Ports | Push Square
Hot on the heels of PS5, PS4 ports for High on Life, it appears indie game Somerville will also be making the jump to PlayStation in the near future. Trophy listing site Exophase has picked up a set of PS4 Trophies for the 2.5D adventure game, essentially confirming ports are planned by developer Jumpship.
Viewable through here, the Trophy list is the exact same as the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC versions, albeit with a Platinum Trophy. High on Life from Squanch Games first had its Trophy lists spotted and was then released a day later, but it's not clear whether Somerville's turnaround will be as quick. Either way, an announcement seems very likely for the near future.
The game was first released in November 2022 to somewhat positive reviews, garnering a Metacritic rating of 71. Our sister site Pure Xbox handed the game a 6/10 and concluded: «Somerville is a super-stylish slice of sci-fi that nails its aesthetic and provides a solid narrative that comes to a pleasingly surreal and fantastical end. However, all of this good stuff is bogged down by dull gameplay, performance issues and the addition of a third dimension that, while certainly very cool to look at, leads to awkwardness as you attempt to solve puzzles and interact with environments.»
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
Wasn’t for me this one
Very average game imho.
Stunning visuals, wonderful soundtrack and soundscape with a semi-interesting story. But crucially the gameplay was somewhere between basic AF and frustrating at times. Missed the mark imho.
