  No Place Like Home is a post-apocalyptic farming adventure/sim in which you play as a girl searching for her missing grandpa before she moves to Mars. The game’s hopeful story and effective balance of farming, decorating, fighting, and upgrading tools will keep players involved from start to finish.

  No Place Like Home will draw you in with its adorable illustrations and novel premise; for fans of wholesome games, cleaning simulators, and base-building, the allure might actually work like a charm. For everyone else who’s had their eye on this post-apocalyptic farm sim, you may want to give it some time before it’s truly ready for release after a little more polish.

  I think I wish the controls felt a little tighter, and that it looked a little bit nicer. It’s great to get all the garbage off the grass, but I wish the grass was a bit more textured. Maybe it would have been nice to see it shine in the sunlight. But that’s not where No Place Like Home places its focus. The developers clearly put time into balance and rhythm. If you are a gamer who peacefully likes carving out a digital home for yourself, there is a peace to be found in No Place Like Home.

  Since the game is being constantly patched and while new content is added to the mix, it’s hard not to be excited over what else is to come for this already solid farming sim, with a fishing update already being announced. This is definitely a good title for fans of the genre to check out!

  Having said that, No Place Like Home was a relaxing, chill experience owning to the above aspects that were well executed – it just didn’t give me much reason to keep coming back after I’d reached a certain point. I can see the game being great for kids, but if you’re an adult, I think you’ll be left wanting more.

  No Place Like Home has its issues but there are updates scheduled beyond launch (including a fishing minigame). Some of its biggest problems may be addressed further down the line. But even if not, No Place Like Home has a lot of heart and is worth sinking time into.
