No Place Like Home offers a unique take of the farm simulation genre by placing you on a near desolate Earth. Unfortunately it is also void of memorable NPCs and contains little story to sink into. While the addition of a sci-fi element is welcome, the overall gameplay feels like it came from a farm sim made fifteen years ago. There is plenty to enjoy, especially if you want to stick to farming and cleaning up. But since No Place Like Home feels like it is missing modern mechanics that have become mainstays in the genre I'm not sure it's for everyone.
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 had a lot of potential and a great idea behind restoring Earth and caring for the animals that inhabit it, it just forgot that home needs a family.
With a few updates, the developers may be able to cement its own little niche in the genre.
