The Long Journey Home Reviews
When The Long Journey Home focuses on interactions with a diverse and entertaining cast of aliens across its procedurally generated star systems, it's possible to find a degree of wonder and personality that many roguelike seldom achieve. Unfortunately, such interactions take a back seat to a barrage of frustrating minigames with rewards that rarely match the risks. The experience as a whole suffers for it.
There's not quite enough here to win me over completely, but there's more than enough to make the numerous trips I've made worthwhile, and part of the charm is in never knowing if there's anything left to discover.
I spent many moments cursing its name in frustrating due to consistently dying. However, the game has grown on me, and I am excited to take different paths and play different ways. Fairly priced, The Long Journey Home provides some comedic relief in a dire and stressful time. The game's atmosphere is beautiful and the exploration into the game provides a vast amount of space adventure.
The Long Journey Home is an interesting exploration game that succeeds in a lot of ways, but never really seems to shine.
The Long Journey Home is a roguelike sci-fi survival simulator fueled on hope and hopelessness. Bring them home, commander. But be ready to die a hundred deaths before that ever happens.
The Long Journey Home promises much more than its punishing gameplay can deliver on

It's a beautifully crafted narrative driven game that is made for space enthusiasts. Those who daydream of one day leaving Earth and explore new horizons. It made me feel emotional in ways I didn't expect.

If you can handle its flaws and problems, are a fan of good quests, plots and experiences, The Long Journey Home is defintely something for you, if you´re able to spare 40 bucks for such a game. Even tho it may have the content to allow a playtime worthy of this price tag, it´s up you, how long you can have fun with it.
