The Long Journey Home Reviews
If The Long Journey Home had focused gameplay and transitioned smoothly between its many elements, it would be a great game.
The Long Journey home is graphically beautiful, the colours are rich, vibrant, which help bring the game to life, as does the game’s score which adds to the atmosphere of your surroundings. Personally, I really enjoyed the game, a real sense of adventure, in a never-ending galaxy, with classic sci-fi influences. The hidden stories throughout are a joy, full of treasure and suspense that really keep you on your toes in this wonderful journey.
Recommending a game is a matter of taste and ... in the case of The Long Journey Home, it is to think about those gamers who like to explore, try new things, that the story or narrative is one of the key elements for it to conquer them a game, and for the curious who want to discover new procedural worlds.

In short, we can say that The Long Journey Home is an indie title that starts with very good intentions, intersecting different and varied genres within it, but which in fact does not fully meet our expectations.

The Long Journey Home is a richly detailed, challenging experience which quickly and efficiently sucked me in. For those willing and able to master the complexities of the game, it will provide a rewarding and memorable adventure with an abundance of replayability and variety.
At this point in time I can’t really recommend The Long Journey Home. The game’s control system is fundamentally broken and I think it would take too much work from the developers to patch this in. I personally think it would be a worthwhile investment as it would seriously make the game much more playable and enjoyable. My other main gripe is the repetitive gameplay, unless you like grindy type games, then The Long Journey is probably an easy one to skip. Especially for the very high price point.
The Long Journey Home tries to strike a balance between engaging exploration and conservative resource management, but its punishing learning curves throughout the adventure make it a challenge to really sink your teeth into.
The Long Journey Home never attempts to make its journey particularly thrilling, but the deliberate pacing combines well with its risk-versus-reward elements and the simple enjoyment of travelling the stars.
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.
