   I've been a gamer since the early days when we were programming them out of magazines and saving them to audio tape. This game obviously has a positive nostalgic factor to me being from the "old school" days of PC gaming but that's not what I appreciate the most. The fact is this game is what you make of it, in some ways it's a very organic collision of literature and video games, which is something that I've never seen quite captured they way Home does. What stands out to me is this game respects the person playing it. We've all played games that have multiple endings, evolving story-lines, whatever you care to call it however this, IMHO, is different in the fact part of the game plays out partially in your mind, not in the games code. While playing "through" this a couple times I never once felt like I was being pandered to or sold short. In the end, this game represents what I consider positive about PC gaming: An independent creator giving gamers something that respects their intellect and is fun and honestly a bit weird and creepy. I'm giving this 10/10 based on creativity, atmosphere, the fact I'm willing to pay attention and even play it multiple times and finally gratitude for not creating just another game that assumes we're all drooling idiots.… Expand

   Home is a very unique game, it really is. Do not expect from this Game that you will get many action, it's more discovering things and learn more about the story with every object you see. The Game himself is pretty scary, i really was scared at some moments with my Headphones on and when i was in a dark room. The element what makes this Game so good is the Ambient sound, or let's say it on a other way. The Sound. It's fantastic. This Game is not perfect but really deserves a good Score, and my Money too. It was just 2 Dollars on Steam. And i have to say, i don't feel guilty that i purchased this Game.… Expand

   Home is a difficult beast to review, in that it is not necessarily a game. There is no ultimate objective, no invulnerable horror chasing you down, no health or numbers to gauge your success or failure. Instead, Home offers a plodding journey for answers in a dank world of numerous questions. Who did what? Am I the evil or the oppressed? Is everything as straightforward as it seems or convoluted as I fear? If these questions intrigue you, and if the opportunity to shape their answers by your choices is an equally appealing concept, I wholeheartedly recommend this short but fascinating adventure. Just don't expect your trip home to leave you entirely fulfilled; not all questions have answers.… Expand

   I believe that home is a HUGE disappointment. mainly because of the fact you cant save your game so therefore if you make a single mistake you have to restart to entire story, and then once you've gotten past the section of the game where you made you previous mistake if you make another you have to restart the game again. the main reason why this game got a 4 rather than a zero is because the game did have a pretty good and creepy feel to it. to conclude i think that this game would be extremely enjoyable if there was a save feature or they removed the ability for the player to make decisions which make it impossible to continue… Expand
