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 on paper is a game that is very much for me. It is a game about the exploring space, seeking out new life and interacting with fascinating civilizations but the fact that it is a rogue-like takes away from all that.

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.
