No Place Like Home Reviews

The game is good. Some glitches in places. Unique. Very repetitive with having to go back and forwards constantly to unlock and gain progress. limited enemies allowing for the player to finish quests quicker and preventing player from being overwhelmed with the need to destroy enemies and complete the quest. Nice how the game allows for naming animals and providing animals with hats, swings, and picnic blanket. Some items can be blocked by animals not allowing players to place the item. Still overall a good game if you want to just sit back and cleanup a planet.

didn't like this the ascetics are ugly to me and the game mechanics were so boring imo sorry sorry

This feels like a port of a gamecube game I never played growing up. Super fried and addictive trash removal progression type game with cutesy farm vibes and a secret tunnel system also. Would recommend.

i love this game so much but it just does not feel 100% done it feels like there is more missing i love the art and the animals and playing it a lot its one of the only games i truly wanted to 100% i hope updates get made i will recommend this if you want a cozy game even the fighting is not crazy you lose nothing dying

It's a cute game with charming art - controls are a little clunky but not unplayable...except for the game-breaking, computer crashing glitches. If you try to operate the vacuum and the drill at the same time while too close to an object that otherwise would have had a collider, the game freezes and the only way out is a forced shutdown of the computer. I don't know what's happening under the hood, but at well under 1/3 into the game and with half the gameplay hours being repeating what I've already done after a crash, I'm having to stop and uninstall to keep this thing from melting my computer.

this game is so relaxing. I literally got 49 hours in 2 days. it is addictive and fun. the story line is great and i love how you have to really search to find entrances to new areas.

I love this game, it's so underrated. I have this on my switch and hav played through it twice. Now that more automation is added I might go for a third time. The game play loop of slowly cleaning everything is so satisfying.

I played Fresh Start and loved it so much. Only just realised these games are from the same dev so of course I had to get No Place Like Home <3 it's a very chill game but yet lots to do like cleaning up the area, caring for animals. farming is important for trading stuff and for befriending animals. there is combat but super easy (so far) a lot of places to discover. I almost could not quit the game but I do have to sleep.

Ok so far i really love this game....If your a clean freak then this is the game for you....Its so satisfying cleaning up the areas....Dodging enemies isnt that hard.....So if you hate clutter and have an itch to clean...then this is the game for you.

Overall, the game isn't horrible. If I could rate this neutrally, I would as I did enjoy it but it also frustrated me to no end. The mechanics are easy to learn, but the game play is clunky at best. Some aspects aren't intuitive, and it feels very grindy to me. The tutorial is a hot mess. Basically, you're loaded into a long pathway that guide you into various tasks, essentially learning the functions of the game. There are bulletin boards before each task, but they are not very helpful. If you're a sprinter like I am, it's easy for you to zoom right by them. An on-screen pop up or something that draws your attention to the bulletin boards -- and more explicit instructions -- would be helpful. It goes on for quite sometime, too, which made me want to quit before even getting started. But I pushed through. When the actual game loads, you arrive at your grandfather's farm and are met by a chicken who gives you a task. Problem is, the entire farm is riddled with rocks and trash that you need to clear in order to navigate around. So, for someone like me who struggles with balancing their need for organization with their ADHD, this was a nightmare. My OCD wanted to clear the rubble and debris, screw the tasks. To break rock, the LMB is the default trigger. To pick things up, you vacuum everything using the space bar. I had to take breaks, my thumb hurt from holding down the space bar for so long. You can't sprint for long periods of time -- maybe three seconds initially. That was annoying. There isn't a lot of direction or anything that strictly drives the story. Half of the challenges/tasks I did manage to complete I did so on accident without being prompted. It would be nice to have a story line that drove the game play a little, but that's probably more a personal preference. One of the first major tasks you're given outside of your grandfather's farm is befriending chickens. Once you've built a coop and collected five chickens, you then need to provide proof that you are a friend to the chickens because apparently you were a little brat growing up and have a track record. I swear, I collected the eggs, fed them, showered them, pet them for at least five days, and the friend meter wasn't even half full. This is what ultimately made me downvote this game. This is when it became grindy. I like the open world concept; exploration is my jam. The graphics are cute in a cartoony way. Reminds me a bit of My Time in Portia in that regard. A little less developed, perhaps, but in the same vein. So, again, it's not a BAD game, but it's not a great game, either.
