    Homesick transports its mysterious story exclusively with the items in the environment and manages to captivate without narrator or pre-rendered cutscenes. A very interesting storytelling journey.

    Homesick is one of those games that I feel everyone should experience. It really spoke to me and I have not felt this way playing an adventure game for a long time. I do suggest taking your time and just soak it all in as you will surely enjoy every minute of it.

    Homesick isn’t a perfect game, but it succeeds in fostering a sense of curiosity that will carry you to the end, and its slow drip of sadness and wonder can be intoxicating.

    Impressive atmosphere, good puzzles and an absorbing storyline, in this slow but inspiring adventure. It's no masterpiece, but you'll want to discover more and more as you play.

    Beautiful environments, a deliberate slow pace, and an intriguing story to unravel for completionists make this Homesick game a moody journey.

    A walking simulator in a gorgeous and mysterious environment that simply lacks the narrative drive of games like Dear Esther or Gone Home. A unique experience nonetheless.

    It creates a great atmosphere, but the overall Homesick experience ultimately feels a bit threadbare.

    Homesick can be visually dazzling and sounds great, but the elements that should really encourage players to explore its world – story and puzzles – are just not up to par. [09/2015, p.48]

    Yes, I do like walking simulator. But this one... Sorry, it really tries to be as slow as possible. Why can I not walk faster? Maybe becauseYes, I do like walking simulator. But this one... Sorry, it really tries to be as slow as possible. Why can I not walk faster? Maybe because it would shorten this short game even more? No, that is not the right way. Five points for some nice ideas and the really good graphics. But not more, because to slow and the story ... at the end ... not really mind-blowing. Full Review »
