Both modes still suffer from shoddy A.I., and it’s important enough to single out again. At times, it’s never clear on what and how far certain creatures can detect you. The space you have to approach them from behind fluctuates, and some won’t even be able to see you through objects with holes in them.
In one night, after suffering from the sorrow for a long time, he woke up in an unknown place instead of his house. While trying to escape from this place, he was hunted by a rancorous female spirit. Some dark sinister secret is hidden inside this house, and it won’t be a place of happiness as it used to be any longer. "For the first time ever, I was so shaken by a horror game that I had to pause and set the controller down." Through the use of the insidious score, tension and suspense grip the player through the entire game, even in extended areas that contain no enemies.
Reviews
The game nonetheless does its best to keep players off balance, as the environments often shift and change around the player as you move through them. In a move that I recognized from Layers of Fear (another recent scare-fest), floorplans often rearrange themselves behind the player. The act of being engaged in the action prevents me from entering the trance-like state that allows for true frights. I have often enjoyed scary games because I enjoy horror fiction and imagery, but I haven’t often found games to be actually frightening.
Beneath the promising concept, Home Sweet Home is as generic and bare bones as it gets for horror titles on PlayStation 4. Playing it with PSVR might be a game-changer, but without it, expect a mediocre and pedestrian first-person adventure. With only a few cheap jump-scares and some clever space twisting, this is only for people who are desperate for some scares. However, half the time there will be an imminent threat to Tim’s life in the areas you need to search who may or may not have some dodgy A.I. This makes certain encounters a little frustrating and left me exasperated when trying to find a solution a few times.
Review: Home Sweet Home – PS4/PSVR
Sure, the dogs that crash through the windows in Resident Evil made me jump, and I was somewhat unsettled the first time that I witnessed Pyramid Head abusing his mannequin friends in Silent Hill 2. But as a medium, the interactivity of gaming has always served to create an invisible wall between the screen and my emotions. Software subject to license (us.playstation.com/softwarelicense).

This is a game with some really good ideas and sequences, but it also make too many mistakes that could’ve been avoided quite easily. Even the VR implementation feels quite rushed, although the experience is interesting overall. There are still some concerns with repetitive game design and enemy awareness, but this is definitely one scary experience in the PS VR headset.
Item specifics
Unfortunately, most solutions will be to find an item that grants access to a path and move to the next complication. Home Sweet Home is pretty linear and most doors, stairways, and windows will be inaccessible to Tim. You’ll always have a clear picture on what your surroundings are in any given level, but some of the puzzles are not very clear. "Home Sweet Home is a solid modern horror game which effectively utilizes Thai culture and mythology to create an unnerving, atmospheric, and surreal experience." Today - Cloudy with a high of 51 °F (10.6 °C) and a 55% chance of precipitation. Cloudy with a high of 51 °F (10.6 °C) and a 55% chance of precipitation.
While its atmosphere and especially sound design are high quality and quite effective at creeping you out, I more often found myself ripped back out of the experience, disappointed in the moment, and wanting more. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how important sound is to a horror experience. In games especially, so much is communicated through sound, from your emotional state being manipulated through music, to being able to gauge your surroundings, to all the “fun” stuff. In this case, after playing Home Sweet Home, the sound of a box cutter’s blade protracting and retracting might stick with you for a long time. Especially since that sound is tied not only to the central threat, but also all the dying and continuing you’re going to be doing. The first big scare in Home Sweet Home also sets the stage for its first big frustration.
Games
The realm of VR presents this devilish title in the best way, putting you right in the middle of the terror at hand." This is frankly an awful way to start the game, but players should push through this sequence. Once you persevere and figure out what you need to do to survive, that knowledge will carry you through most of the rest of the game. The opening sequence of Home Sweet Home is one of the most frightening in the game. I don’t want to spoil any story surprises, but I will say that Home Sweet Home throws Tim into the deep end of the pool without first teaching him how to swim.
At one point, after I had been running and hiding a bit too strenuously, the first-person viewpoint suddenly turned on me and I started feeling a bit nauseous. I took off the headgear and found that Home Sweet Home plays very well in “flat” mode . Home Sweet Home is a fairly short game, and most players will probably complete it in a sitting or two. It should also be noted that though it is being promoted and sold as a PS VR game, Home Sweet Home can be played perfectly well outside of VR.
It is this is dynamic that allows Home Sweet Home to turn the screws of suspense, taking players’ breath away with heart-stopping sequences and wicked jump-scares. When you are hiding in a locker, peering through the slots as some awful presence stalks about the room moaning for your blood, it is easy to forget that this is “just a game”. I found myself literally holding my breath, desperate to not be discovered by the awful chittering spirit that was searching for me. Each of Home Sweet Home’s malevolent spirits also has a distinct and disturbing audio cue designed to have players darting for the nearest locker, drain, or over-sized vase as soon as they hear them.
If your experience seems a little light, you can choose to charter a bareboat and hire a professional captain for the first few days and then continue the rest of your charter on your own when you feel comfortable. • Challenging Gameplay – Focus on stealth gameplay which requires player’s skill to overcome. Home Sweet Home doesn’t bother much with a setup, and that’s part of the story. All you know in the beginning is that your wife, Jane, is missing, and after a night of coping with grief at the bottom of a bottle , you wake up in a building you don’t recognize. While making your way through the empty space, full of rot and debris, you realize you aren’t alone in the worst possible way. Armed with only a flashlight and your wits, your only goal is to get out.
Home Sweet Home is an around 4 and a half hour long first person survival horror game where you play as Tim in search of his wife who has disappeared.. This is one of the first horror games I have ever played. Me an my friend just wanted to play a good horror game to get scared and this game did the trick. REALLY hope there is a second one or theending was pointless.
Very little is interactive, and what is interactive is immediately relevant. This includes your path, the problem of the moment, and of course your tools to deal with the threat. This is not an impressive game from a visual fidelity or content volume standpoint, but where it does excel is its sound design.
