전체적으로 10점 만점에 4점. 구매한 내 책임1점,주인공의 앞날을 애도하며1점,제작한사람의노고에1점,이걸 플랫폼에 노출시켜서1점. 초반에는 재료와 돈이 없고 상점에는 좋은장비가 없고,만들수있을때쯤엔 이미 그것보다 좋은걸 갖고있을것이다. 임무 누르다 꼬여서 화면 버그나고 껐다키고 임무 순서도 있는지 그것도 꼬인것같다. 이 게임의 유일하게 흥미로웠던 갈고리 발사는 어디에도 쓸일이 없다.평소,임무,스토리.아무것도 연관없다. 적을 무력화 시켜 누군가에게 끌고온다거나,임무에 필요한걸 이동시킨다거나,아니다.그렇지않다. 굳이 쓰려면,얼음덩어리를 끌고와 전투중에 냉각용으로 쓸수있다,그냥 바위를 뺀다거나. 스토리가 좋은편도 아니며 시작부터 결말까지 그저 화살표 하나에 불과하다. 재밌는것도 아니고 비참한것도 아니고 그냥 탈출포드에 총과 인공지능을 달았을뿐이다. 게임 제목 그대로,영원히 우주를 떠돌아 다닐 주인공에게 애도를. 최종보스?가 의미심장한것도 아니다. 2회차를 시작한다고 뭔가 바뀌는게 있는것도 아니다. 상점그대로,임무그대로,스토리그대로. 스트리밍 플랫폼에서 영상조차 못찾을때 사지 말았어야 했는데.
Really delightful game - saw credits after about 7 hours of really fun, minimal stress game play. Fantastic on the steam deck. Great art and writing. The daily arcade stuff is a nice little hook to come back to. Well done devs, thank you.
Es un juego maravilloso. Pero sería genial poder programar el comportamiento del robot compañero. Este robot compañero tiene la costumbre de atravesarse en medio del fuego amigo y del fuego enemigo solo por ir a traer recursos. Le encanta estar al frente sabiendo que su función es apoyar debería de estar atrás apoyando. Pero de resto es maravilloso, me divertí bastante. Gracias.
No Way Home is a vibrant and energetic twin-stick shooter that blends exploration, fast-paced combat, and lighthearted storytelling into an accessible space adventure. Developed and published by SMG Studio, the game opens with a simple but charming premise: your character, Cho, crash-lands in an unknown star system far from Earth, armed with nothing but determination and the help of a quirky robotic companion named Matey. This setup frames a journey through a bright, comic-styled universe full of strange planets, oddball alien species, and a surprising mix of handcrafted and procedurally generated encounters. While the narrative doesn’t aim for dramatic emotional stakes, the tone is consistently playful, giving the game a personality that helps it stand apart from more serious sci-fi shooters. Moment-to-moment gameplay is where No Way Home shines most. The twin-stick controls feel intuitive and responsive, letting you dodge enemy fire while unloading a barrage of shots in any direction. A notable feature is the grappling hook, which adds an unusual layer of movement and environmental manipulation—you can tug objects, reposition hazards, or pull yourself into safer spots mid-battle. Combat is deliberately chaotic but never unreadable, thanks to clean visual design and well-defined enemy silhouettes. Over time, you collect more than fifty weapons ranging from traditional blasters to stranger, more experimental tools, and your ship can be upgraded across multiple systems. This variety gives each run a satisfying sense of growth as you refine your loadout and adapt your tactics to the escalating threats scattered across the starmap. Exploration complements the combat without overwhelming it. The galaxy is divided into sectors that blend procedural layouts with scripted story missions, optional contracts, and surprise encounters. Each sector offers new loot, new enemies, and different environmental hazards that encourage you to experiment with your equipment. The game balances freedom and structure effectively: you can pursue the main storyline, take on side missions for extra rewards, or simply drift through space to see what unusual characters or secrets you uncover. It’s not a fully open-world experience, but the sense of discovery is strong enough to keep you moving from system to system, gathering materials, crafting upgrades, and improving both Cho’s ship and Matey’s support functions. Visually, No Way Home embraces a colorful comic-book style that pairs sharp outlines with vivid palettes. This helps maintain clarity during busy battles, but it also contributes to the game’s light comedic tone. Aliens are expressive, environments are lively, and even the UI carries a sense of personality. Sound design supports the action with punchy effects and an upbeat soundtrack that keeps the momentum going without overpowering the experience. Together, these elements create an inviting atmosphere that makes even the more frantic battles feel fun rather than exhausting. It’s a world designed to be enjoyed rather than brooded over, and the presentation plays a major role in that appeal. For all its charm, No Way Home does have limitations. The progression, while satisfying in the early and mid-game, begins to feel familiar as the hours pass. Many mission types repeat, and some procedural sectors echo each other in structure. The combat remains enjoyable, but players who prefer systems that continually evolve may notice that the core mechanics change more in intensity than in complexity. The story, though humorous and engaging, doesn’t escalate into anything deeper than a light adventure, which may leave narrative-focused players wanting more. Yet none of these issues undermine the game’s core strengths—they simply reflect the scope of a title designed around immediacy and fun rather than expansive RPG depth. Ultimately, No Way Home succeeds by knowing exactly what it wants to be: an upbeat, fast-paced shooter filled with personality, satisfying combat, and enough exploration to keep the experience fresh without weighing it down. It’s a game for players who enjoy responsive twin-stick action, colorful sci-fi worlds, and a steady supply of new weapons and upgrades to experiment with. Its charm, humor, and strong sense of style make it easy to enjoy in short bursts or longer sessions, and its accessible controls make it welcoming for newcomers to the genre. While it may not offer the complexity or narrative weight of larger space adventures, it delivers a polished and consistently entertaining journey through a universe that never takes itself too seriously. Rating: 8/10
The game is quite fun and beautifully made, but it has some extreme bugs later into the game that may ruin the entire expierence for players that play a few hours on end as the game crashes about every 10 min.
крутая
What a delight! This is a game which has fun through it's humorous writing, whimsical graphics and engaging space shooter-type battles. Story is nice and long and gives a good sense of progression and accomplishment. Also, thanks for including MacOS. Much appreciated!!!
I enjoyed it a lot. Would like to see more mechanics, like bombs, missiles, environment utilization, flashlight etc. perhaps in a sequel ^_^
我玩着还行,但是现在出bug了,我做任务《敲诈》,他让我给1000,我想试试看不给会怎么样,然后就显示他让我飞船失控了,这个对话框一直消不掉,哪怕我到其他区域打了半天还是没消掉,而且不知道是不是这个bug,我打算返回主菜单,直接卡住了,对话框里的小人一样在动,但是游戏无法进行任何操作
