    The game intentionally misleads you a lot. That’s fine when there’s a payoff. Here, it just left me scratching my head. This game is a subtle, personal story about someone in their 20 reflecting on their teenaged years (it’s mildly pretentious). The suspense vibe the game builds up is pointless, distracting and unfulfilling. Edith Finch is a masterpiece of this genre. Gone Home is prettyThe game intentionally misleads you a lot.

    Sadly, this one just didn’t make me care. The subject matter was interesting but if just felt like something was missing.

    Ultimately, Gone Home is the same game no matter what platform it is played on. It brings the same emotions, anxieties, and intrigue to the table now as it did years ago. There is no denying, however, that the versatility offered by the Switch version fits the calm nature of the walking sim, whether it is played docked or not—plus it’s just plain cool to experience the story in such close quarters.

    It’s quite amazing what Gone Home was able to accomplish through minimal action and a highly believable, immersive setting. It still resonates even after all these years — and not many games have accomplished what it has in terms of a slice-of-life, heartfelt story that comes together in a realistic environment.

    Recommended for people with detective spirit, explorers or voyeurs. For those who do not look for a game to be eternal but to get lost. Play it in English because in this way it offers the best experience, do it in the dark, on a rainy night, in portable mode.
