There were moments during my time with The Long Journey Home when I was laughing, moments when I felt introspective, and moments when I wanted to throw my controller at the wall.It all felt appropriate, given that it draws much inspiration from ’80s and ’90s space games like Star Control and Elite, a genre that I dabbled with many years after its heyday and struggled with, both cognitively.

Posted: 5 AprilWhile I do understand most of the criticism here I think if you give the game a fair chance and like taking a closer look story wise (looking for hidden information / trying stuff just for fun) you will find that The Long Journey Home has a lot of content for you to explore.For me the game is like reading a space story with a bunch of minigames.The Long Journey Home is much more than its minigames, but if you don't care about the lore this game is not for you.The game kind of trolls beginners. I suggest looking for a beginners guide if you feel like the game is too hard.(Especially the choice of ship makes a big difference most of all the jump range ).
