    Net of a low-level technical sector, especially on Switch, No Longer Home is one of the most touching experiences of the year.

    A small handful of issues aside, No Longer Home is a unique experience. Somehow ethereal yet substantial, ephemeral yet lasting, remarkable yet mundane, it’s a tiny window into the human experience that leaves you feeling, well, all the feels.

    No Longer Home is a semi-autobiographical adventure with a great deal of emotional depth. Its message isn’t immediately clear, and that’s to its credit – you might get something completely different out of it than I do. Everyone’s had to go through big changes, and this game encapsulates the internal conflicts, interpersonal struggles, fear, and hope brilliantly. Playing No Longer Home felt like those deep, drunk conversations you have with friends. Those chats that would go on forever if one of you didn’t fall asleep mid-sentence.

No Longer Home definitely falls firmly into this category, on the surface being a point-and-click adventure, but really being far more about two friends at a crossroads in their lives on multiple levels. The more you identify with their struggles and their thoughts as the story unfolds, the more you’re likely to appreciate the whole experience. However, if you remove that affinity from the equation, and don’t identify with their fears as they try to figure out how to move to the next stage of their lives, the more the picky and somewhat unsatisfying trial and error clicking about trying to advance the story will be. This is definitely a better story-driven experience with a message as a whole than a game, so the degree to which you’ll appreciate or enjoy it will likely vary wildly from person to person.
