Jul 23, 2023Homeseek is a colony simulator that frequently puts you in uncomfortable situations. Just as you think everything is going well, it pulls the rug out from under you and forces you to react. You must balance short-term survival with long-term exploration to find new livable areas. Instead of building a self-sustaining civilization, you must move to greener pastures while surviving against the odds. The learning curve is steep as you are expected to make several mistakes. Not everything is explained to you either, forcing you to learn as you go. But if you are willing to stay with the game and adapt, you will find a great challenge that forces you to really think.

Oct 13, 2023Overall, Homeseek is an intriguing, but troubled marriage of city-building and linear storytelling. While it enjoys a few moments in the sun, it otherwise lacks the spark needed to keep me coming back for more.

Dec 5, 2023Surviving in an inhospitable environment is a traditional evergreen, and we plunge into harsh worlds again and again. This time it will be a real-time strategy, but it is uncompromisingly stereotypical and boring.
