No Place Like Home

I picked this game up for $10 on sale, I was expecting maybe 8 hours of solid game play and was pleasantly surprised when i realized 8 hours in that i had hardly scratched the surfaces of what the game has to offer. The game is very chill, yes there's some combat but you don't loose anything if you die. I had fun building my farm, befriending the local wildlife and smashing robots.... did get sick of the excessive amounts of trash though, the last two biomes were completely covered head to toe. 9/10 will play through again.

I like exploration games, building games, and games with quests and puzzles ( to a degree) but I don't like shooting games. This game has it all! It has a strange cast of characters ( talking chicken !?!?) and adorable creatures. It has a great moral: don't litter! Save our planet! The controls are a little bit confusing and difficult though. I found it difficult to place furniture and other items. I have yet to find a way to rotate items the way I would like to place them. I can't quite figure out how to remove items. Sometimes you can stand near an item and it will give you the option to remove it and it will place the item back into your inventory...but sometimes a giant floating axe appears and leaves you to wonder how to use it. lol I would like to see "warnings" issued throughout game play. Right at the start I was able to climb up a ladder (?) to move to a new area. I did not get the chance to complete reading things in the starter section. I believe this is why I'm having difficulties figuring out the controls. There should have been a "warning" to let us know that you would be missing out on important instructions. There also needs to be a warning about losing items in your inventory. I accidentally destroyed items (clicked wrong button) and it would have been nice if the game said "are you sure you want to destroy this item? You won't get it back." Or something to that effect. Otherwise, it's a very fun game!

[h1]6.5/10 [/h1] Really fun concept and satisfying gameplay overall, but there’s [b]definitely room for improvement[/b]. The loop is pretty simple—you drill, vacuum up gunk, rescue animals, unlock new areas, and repeat. The whole cleanup vibe is super relaxing at first, but once you’ve unlocked everything, it starts to feel a bit repetitive. A good chunk of each in-game day ends up being spent petting animals and gathering their items which can get a little tedious [spoiler](it appears this can be automated but I haven't unlocked it and I'm 18 hours in)[/spoiler]. Inventory management is also kind of annoying since chest slots cap at 10 items so you need to craft a lot of chests early on. I know it's a crafting game but it gives you so much supplies with very limited space which doesn't really make sense imo...plus, the game’s got its fair share of bugs that make the whole farming part a little painful (my chickens would get stuck on top of each other so I can't collect all the eggs lol). I got it on sale and felt like it was worth it at that price but honestly, I wouldn’t pay full price for it in its current state.

I bought this game and played for a while, I liked it but stopped playing for a while. I decided to come back to it recently and I just couldn't remember why I stopped playing. Put in like an 8 hr session to start my second save. Went back the next day to resume play, loaded in, and quickly realized the game had loaded my last manual save, not the auto save. The manual save was like 3 hrs earlier than the auto save. NBD, I quit to the main menu to load in a specific save instead of just hitting resume like I did before. EXCEPT, the game had autosaved when I loaded in and I couldnt find a way to recover old autosaves. Thats when I remembered why I stopped playing the first time. I admitedly didnt look too hard for a solution on this because it kind of was my last straw. I did really enjoy the gameplay at first, but as I collected more of the animals and had to put them in my farm, the game started to lag really bad for me. I couldnt figure out a good way to fix it, and you end up with kind of a lot of animals so I am not sure how youre supposed to manage that. Game performance suffered, I was running out of space for buildings, and I had to keep building chests becuase I kept collecting so many items in normal gameplay. I got to a point where the clean up gameplay started to feel like a grind and once I lost hours of gameplay I was like yeah I am not redoing all that.

It is fun and entertaining. Solving the puzzles is a good dopamine prompt.

I have enjoyed collecting the various items in the game and upgrading my health meter, drill, and basic machines. The game keeps you busy cleaning up all of the garbage in order to progress through each zone. The animals are cute, especially with their hats on, but they are very time consuming to care for and collect items from. Planting is a must, you will have to have certain produce items in order to progress as well. I am really looking forward to being able to create the Bot who will help to care for my animals.

Simple cute fun game, tedious for the amount of achievements but still felt rewarding. Nice and easy to 100%

My current favorite. If you like vacuuming trash (like "Fresh Start", by the same devs) this the perfect game for you. I played 12 hours straight today and there is so much more to do!

I can put funky hats on chickens and have a disco rave 10/10 also vacuum go *vroom*

clean the garbage have all the critters farm build organize fun
