No Place Like Home

Well, I picked it up for the genre. I love Apocalypse Renewal Farming stuff. But it's... bad. The story makes no sense, the controls don't work at all for controller (you can't aim the suction) and they are bad for the mouse and keyboard as well (fighting is on the same buttons as others causing mis-inputs). And on top of all that, it's just extremely grindy. It's a bit of a slow start, and I played longer than wish I did just hoping it would get better. It's normal for farming sims to start slow. And Nope. I think it's nice that you can open up to play creative automatically. And the actual farming aspect is straightforward and pretty okay. Not super complicated, but if you want to just chill and not think, that's fine. The rest is just not worth it. And it for some reason makes me irrationally angry that there are characters surrounded by piles of trash and completely trapped in these heaps and say absolutely nothing acknowledge it when you walk up after using your physics defying suckpack to free them from their self-imposed trash prisons. The story already is basically non-existent and nothing is explained, but that just feels especially egregious. Though there's way more I'd like explained than that. I don't mind a game with grindy gameplay or bad mechanics if I at least like the story or have fun. And I'm fine with just walking around sucking up trash for a few hours, too. I mean I did and I liked that part, even, at least up to a point. But really all of it together just isn't worth it. Maybe if they ever fix the controls for the controller and patch some other things I would revisit it, but I'm not sure I'll ever touch this junkyard of trashheaps again otherwise, and don't really think anyone else should bother either. Uninspired game on so many aspects it's hard to keep count.

It had good potential, the laidback cutsey nature of it was really appealing, but alas it appears to be left in limbo with bugs etc. The developer also appears to have reused the assets in a newer game of a similar nature. Pretty janky to play - mouse control is pretty bad and some areas are clearly in need of polishing. The final area and boss is pretty rushed, took only 5-10 minutes to complete verse the couple hours in each other zone and it felt pretty lack luster in the end. Okay for a one time playthrough. Only loaded up a second save to complete an achievement that was locked out in my main save.

This game is more of a love or nah situation. In fact, the gameplay is very slow due to the limited guideline it has. Let me start with the poor execution of tutorial, the tutorial itself is walk-way. It's not a tutorial, more like a slob slap together with assets, The game itself is okay, but lots of feature in the game is unoptimatize to the point of annoying, There's no quest optimazation, you don't know where to go or to get all the materials, you just mindlessly wander the maps trying to find the resources, with clunky controls, As a farming fan on the other hand I do love the farming aspect. tho the robots are pretty limited, it can only plant certain seeds, and it will stop to plant if it's differ size. The main issue for me isn't the controls, is the stack of items, the items max stack is 10. and the trash stack size is 9999, why can't you make it all 9999 or atleast 99. there's no labelling on chests, so finding a seed will take lots of time. The quest pathing is little to none. And the plot is very boring. But to be fair I got the game cheap. rescue animals, you never know what you will run into, ending up carrying 10 stcks of all differ fruits in your inventory just trying rescue all animals that you came across is absurd. mind you, that without upgrading the highest inventory space, you have very limited inventory space, and gathering all materials can be very tedious. 3.5/10 I do not recommend this game to anyone.

I played this right after it came out and loved it. It looks like it may have been abandoned by the devs at this point, but the game is finished and beatable. Some lag and bugs, but you can get caught in the cleaning for hours and be content with it. There is a lot to do that will keep you occupied for awhile. The placement of furniture and the scaling is a bit odd and be careful not to recycle things you may need later on (even if it tells you that you can!). Overall good game and would play again!

I've been enjoying it, but consider this thumbs up a "barely passed", because this game is very buggy and full of typos. Not recommended at full price, because frankly this is early access quality at best. Some bugs for those curious: -Sometimes decoration items you get from chests don't appear in your inventory -The terrain moves in flickers in many areas (becomes higher/lower) -You can enter a hidden door early because you can interact through the wood covering it, but then you are stuck under said wood when you exit Again, though; I've been having fun despite it all.

Supported on release. Games like this is why I've stopped doing that.

I was very much enjoying playing the game. Yes, some jank, but not game breaking (adjusting mouse sensitivity up made it much more bearable) but after playing for hours in my first play session, I loaded back in ready to pick up where I left off and found 5 hours of previous play time vanished. I exited the first session immediately after the daily autosave happened, and the exit prompt confirmed that it had been 0 minutes since the last save. Apparently not. Looking in the Discussions area, this has been an issue for years now.

There is much I like about this game, however what inevitably stops me playing are the controls, they are awful
