    Home Sweet Home does an excellent job of creating a solid foundation for fear, yet overly relies on cheap jump scares to carry the horror. Despite its flaws, however, the game utilizes its gameplay strengths to create a fun survival horror game with unique Thai personality. Home Sweet Home is a worthy addition to any horror fan’s playlist and leaves us asking for more.

    Home Sweet Home is deeply unnerving. There are several reasons why Home Sweet Home is lacking in the gameplay department, but the bottom line is that as an experience, Home Sweet Home is extremely scary and unsettling.

    While Home Sweet Home doesn't bring anything new to the table for first person horror puzzlers, it does stand out with the inclusion of Thai horror folklore which is truly terrifying. It's let down with a couple of bugs but it's not a bad way to spend a few hours.

    If the game was a little more polished on the graphical front and came with a more original story, this one could have been a real gem instead of being good.

    Though it has its issues, the eerie atmosphere, incredible sound design, and surprisingly unique theme of the game make it one of the better horror experiences that I’ve had on the PSVR. If you’re into atmospheric horror and looking for something to scare you this month, then this is definitely worth a try.

    Home Sweet Home is a horror game, and it’s about as “horror game” as it gets. From startling noises to creepy girls, it’s got the lot! Also, Cryptkeeper dingus.

    This home aint so sweet
    Home Sweet Home is an around 4 and a half hour long first person survival horror game where you play as Tim in search of his wife who has disappeared..
    And this game is creepy and unsettling from start to finish…
    This game is very similar to the likes of outlast…
    youll be walking around different areas trying to find items to progress through the game, but you’re defenseless... you have a flashlight... thankfully one with infinite battery… so no battery collecting here.. but while you’re searching for items, you’ll occasionally run into this monster out here sounding like rose at the end of titanic… crying for someone to come back.. and if she spots you she will chase after you and kill you, taking you back to the previous checkpoint…you are able to run from her and hide in corners or in lockers until she leaves… and these moments are so tense and make otherwise unscarry moments feel terrifying.. so many scares, and not just cheap jumpscares… you actually feel you have to be careful when you hear or see her… keeping you on your toes throughout the entire game… and thankfully this game is paced perfectly sortve like the first outlast… it isn’t constant dealing with enemies.. Dealing with her and other is spaced out, I feel perfectly…
    stopping the game from feeling like a chore and keeping it feeling fresh and unpredictable…
    and rooms are constantly changing up... the scenery changes at a nice pace as well…
    the final chunk of the game though is where I feel things start to fall apart.. Too many repeat areas... and the game sequel baits…
    home sweet home is a part one game and its annoying…
    I felt no pay off other than an explanation for the monster chasing you around as you search for your wife…
    This game however is definitely one of the better horror games I’ve played, and one of my favorites for the year and is worth dipping your toes into…
    it also now supports vr and psvr.. however I wasn’t able to test this out
    I give Home Sweet Home
    a 6.5/10    … Full Review »
