Somerville carries a great weight of expectation on its shoulders. It’s the debut game from Jumpship, a studio helmed by former Playdead CEO Dino Patti, and therefore draws inevitable comparisons to critical darlings Limbo and INSIDE. It was first put on my radar back in 2017 for precisely this reason, as I’m sure it was for many others too. The reality, though, is that Somerville plays very differently, and though it does stand apart as a gaming experience I won’t easily forget, is ultimately one I do not hold in such high regard....

The VFX designer for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog movie says that the new design is actually what they started with originally.

Following the success of the Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, Purple Lamp, was subsequently tasked with making another SpongeBob game while sticking close to what made the remake work.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, on the other hand, is a brand new game that uses much of what was implemented previously while building upon it....
