Ce jeu vaut le détour. Sorte de déambulation cauchemardesque ou de purgatoire (selon l’interprétation que vous en ferez) avec quelques puzzles à résoudre pour la partie ludique, Homesick est surtout, à mon sens, l’équivalent d’une nouvelle écrite. Un...

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Homesick is one of those games that I feel everyone should experience. It really spoke to me and I have not felt this way playing an adventure game for a long time. I do suggest taking your time and just soak it all in as you will surely enjoy every minute of it. »
« Homesick transports its mysterious story exclusively with the items in the environment and manages to captivate without narrator or pre-rendered cutscenes. A very interesting storytelling journey. »
« Homesick isn’t a perfect game, but it succeeds in fostering a sense of curiosity that will carry you to the end, and its slow drip of sadness and wonder can be intoxicating. »
« Beautiful environments, a deliberate slow pace, and an intriguing story to unravel for completionists make this Homesick game a moody journey. »
« Impressive atmosphere, good puzzles and an absorbing storyline, in this slow but inspiring adventure. It's no masterpiece, but you'll want to discover more and more as you play. »
« A walking simulator in a gorgeous and mysterious environment that simply lacks the narrative drive of games like Dear Esther or Gone Home. A unique experience nonetheless. »
« It creates a great atmosphere, but the overall Homesick experience ultimately feels a bit threadbare. »
« Homesick can be visually dazzling and sounds great, but the elements that should really encourage players to explore its world – story and puzzles – are just not up to par. [09/2015, p.48] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Good game , beautiful locations and great atmosphere and soundtrack , but the dreadfully slow walking speed »
« 7/10 ️ - Good game (after 5 hours of playing & completing the game) Beautiful locations and great atmosphere. Loneliness, peace, slowly moving through gray corridors forgotten by the world »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« As much as I adore walking simulators, I really can't recommend Homesick for the current price. First of all, it's short. I finished it in just over three hours, but it could easily be beaten in a solid two. The walking in this game is dreadfully slow, and you have no way to sprint or alter the walking speed in any way. This is a big flaw, as it makes moving around awfully tedious. I mean, I appreciate that you want us to take it slow and all, but if I've forgotten something in a room 100 metres away, it should not take me thirty seconds to get there! Why couldn't you just add a sprint button? It would make the game much less tedious. This game lacks areas. For an exploration game, this game has shockingly few areas to explore. They are bloody gorgeous, though. There was at least one puzzle I genuinely liked, the others were a bit "meh". Most of them have to be figured out without any instructions, which makes some of them rewarding, but most of them were just... obtuse. I can't really speak for the story, as I didn't really feel the need to read all of the notes and books scattered around the place. The awfully slow walking speed I mentioned before is to blame. All in all, this game was a disappointment. The visuals are gorgeous, but the dreadfully slow walking speed made it hard for me to enjoy the game as a whole. »
« The game is nice ,price is high , but its to short :/ , but still I enjoyed every single sec in this game I hope they add achievements and free dlc to this game. »
« Yes, I do like walking simulator. But this one... Sorry, it really tries to be as slow as possible. Why can I not walk faster? Maybe because it would shorten this short game even more? No, that is not the right way. Five points for some nice ideas and the really good graphics. But not more, because to slow and the story ... at the end ... not really mind-blowing. »
« Gorgeous visuals a good soundtrack (although i think that Erik Satie Piano may have fit better even) - and an atmosphere that immerses a (willing) player into this lonesome world. I should make clear that the players willingness and ability to actually immerse her/himself into the game is crucial in order to enjoy it. This is a very tranquil - very slow game - right on the edge of a walking simulator. When in the right mood for such a game - it is an easy 8/10 ... when not in a kind of melancholy mood - it may be a 2/10 for being quite boring. But i d rate it an 8 - because i would assume that people buying that game know what it is about - and know how to enjoy such a game. (which is people that enjoy games like Esther or Gone Home) »
