Sometimes I searched a place for nothing, until realizing the sound (of the object) is actually coming completely different place/room, when it sounded like the sound was coming in that specific spot I was standing. Only negative thing with the sound effects were the bad localization. When hiding from the evil woman spirit, who walked around with carpet knife playing with the blade, sounded horrifying. I liked all the sound effects, but the voice acting was somewhat bad. I tried Home Sweet Home little bit with PSVR and it looked very much the same. All the areas and buildings didn’t feel realistic at all, it felt like they were put there just to build a some kind of place for you run and hide. For an example I can say that all the photos were sharp and up-to-date, when some brick wall looked like N64-era. This is always something that unsatisfies me the big differences on the quality of the graphics from object to object. Some parts looked nice and many Thai related objects were beautiful. Also the wife looks completely different than the one in the photos in the game and I think that’s due to the fact this is localized to Western and they didn’t change the photos to match the character? Whatever the reason is, it shows the developer’s sloppiness. The character models also looked dated and I was little bit disappointed with all that. ![]() I could see lots of blurriness and low quality in the surroundings. I also would add more places to hide/go through, because there were countless of places I could’ve hide and use for my protection, that was my only weapon and I think I should be allowed to use it fully.Įverything in Home Sweet Home looked fair, not great, but fair. I have to admit towards the end I had to watch little info online how to solve some things.Ĭontrols were OK and worked fine, there were few little things I would fix, but that’s all. What bothered me was the fact that sometimes I had no idea where to go and what is happening. Towards the end the gameplay started to feel little boring and the game began to lose its scary-aspect. In the gameplay the player mostly do is avoids the spirits and basically everything moving, collecting keys/items to enter another area and do some puzzles along the way. That was also the one aspect that caused me anxiety the feeling there is only one way to do things, when in nature I wanted to solve some things by other way. Home Sweet Home doesn’t differ and it was good thing, but sometimes I would’ve needed something else to fight back or deal with my enemies. These types of first-person psychological-horror games are usually pretty simple with the gameplay and controls. The ending was OK, leaving the game in cliffhanger for the Episode II. ![]() I like how the story build up, even though it was sometimes little bit hard to follow, but I mainly blame myself for it. I could find pages of Tim’s wife’s diary that told more details what she was feeling and what she was doing, opening the facts he was not aware of. It was also due to the fact that I felt relentlessly uneasy and couldn’t focus on the plot details when I was constantly afraid of something happening to me. The story in Home Sweet Home seems to be simple, but it goes from thing and place to another, that did threw me out of tracks couple times. He needs to find his way out, whatever and where ever this is. One night Tim wakes up somewhere else than his home and comes across with an evil female spirit that tries to kill him. Tim seemed to live somewhat happy life with his wife, until she mysteriously disappears, leaving him to his sorrows. Home Sweet Home had found its way to the PlayStation 4 and PSVR system, and I readied to give myself a sleepless night. Even though it’s not packed with absolute gore, but the psychological-horror seemed too much for me with all the Thai myths and beliefs. Home Sweet Home has been in my radar for a long time now, but I simply daren’t to play it. ![]() I don’t know why- they feel crippling and usually the visuals are terrifying with atmosphere of unbearable anxiety. I think many Asian horror related media, such as movies, are more scarier than the Western ones. Thai culture is interesting with all its religious beliefs Thais are very sensitive when it comes to curses and spiritual world. This review is mostly of the non-VR experience) First impression ( Home Sweet Home can be played with PSVR and non-VR.
