    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]

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 »
