    Phoning Home plays well enough for its genre and has several good world-building moments, but it just wasn’t for me. I was hoping for something a little more complex given the excellent premise, but it never developed. Players who are fond of survival/crafting games might get more out of it than I did, but they should be prepared to do a lot of babysitting when ANI makes her appearance.

    The smooth textured environments do not make up for the game play issues and infuriating dialogue.

    Phoning Home is a good survival game and you will find impossible to not develop an empathy with ION and ANI, the two main characters. Anyway the gameplay is slow and a lot of bugs make it far from being perfect. If you want to enjoy the game you have to accept its flaws and embrace the moral dilemmas that you will face during the adventure.
