Something I see here quite often is: I wanted to like the game but... My version of that is: I do like the game BUT how and to whom I would recommend it, is a totally different thing and I don't even know if I would even recommend it to myself, but yea probably in the end I would. You may notice that I'm a little conflicted and most of the time I don't like it when games trigger this in me, there are a few exceptions but The Longest Road on Earth is not one of them. I have no problem with the few and sparse mechanics, I like pixelart stuff and most of it here looks okay to good and most of the music is aight, I mean there are some quite good emotional songs that fit reasonably well. Nevertheless, there is a lot to talk about... (Why so terribly slow? oh no, wrong direction!) First of all, and I have to be honest about it, I feel a little screwed and manipulated by the store page and the way they describe the game. Yes, it is a little thought-provoking thingy, but it only scratches the surface and it mainly creates certain feelings because of the music. Furthermore, we really don't delve deep into the lives of these four characters, we just catch a glimpse, which of course wouldn't sell a game so well, but that's just the truth. The game info says: “Let your imagination run wild... and find out what you associate with the characters and their respective surroundings.” Poorly chosen words for, there is a lot of room for personal interpretation. Or ,,takes no longer than two hours and is worth every single step." Proof that this is also not true is shown here in 2 places with this review alone, can you please stop trying to sell me another washing machine, I already have three of them! But I understand, yours is so much better than anything else, well then give it to me! And: ,,The relaxed pace of the game allows you to immerse yourself... in an enjoyable and relaxed manner." Well I found it a little depressing, even more so than it already is or should be. Then there are people who, for certain reasons, cannot cope well with so much inertia, not a big problem for me, but it's still advertised here as a game for everyone and all ages, oh well. I would have liked a little more depth in everything, just a little bit, there can, may and should be such games without any dialog and little interaction, but the thing is, it's actually more about the music than the actual game, and even as a huge music fan I have to say it feels a bit odd to play a simple game because of some music. And unfortunately I also have to criticize a few things when it comes to sound and the audio programming, they did put some thought into it and added loop sections if the player doesn't finish a part with a certain song in time, but it wasn't done consistently at all points, and without good transitions which creates gaps that gets in the way of the mood. There are some, but rarely and unfortunately sometimes inappropriate or barely audible backround sounds, I really missed some well-made background noises in here, it would have drawn me so much more into it (field recordings and foley sounds) and I think that was clearly a mistake and a big waste of potential. Unfortunately, the songs are all too similar and often a word or phrase gets repeated far too often, mixing errors here and there, but please don't get me wrong there are some nice ones among them. And after listening to all the songs several times and also paying attention to the lyrics, what we got here with The Longest Road on Earth feels a bit random, or - and I really don't mean this in a harmful way, a bit unimaginative and nitwitted. Sorry. So sure give me emotional music that makes me cry, let me hang up laundry and mop up dirt in a gray world of pixels and you'll probably get a thumbs up, but please don't take me for a fool. Since the game was developed around the music, and although I said at the beginning that I liked the game, it still could have been more of a game. So if you are interested in music and want to wallow in melancholy without doing much, I recommend getting The Longest Road on Earth when it's on sale, but don't get the two DLCs because believe me, you don't really need them.

why even play this game? you may as well stare at a sunlit wall and watch the shadows shift as you hold a stick in your hands like its a controller. but why even do that? why even get out of bed when youll just have to sleep again? why eat,if you just have to eat again? why do anything? there is no point. there is no meaning, no victory or rewards screen, so why even try? life is meaningless and has no purpose. life only exists in the living. and living is a small thing, repeated endlessly. as small as a single step. thats what this game is about: taking a single meaningless step and calling it living. play this not because its a game but because its the least you can do. its like breathing: what could be more boring, and more missed once its gone? the repetetive ache of being and forgetting. you wont remember this game--it whispers as you go--but you dont need to: you simply need to play it.

More of a hold A or D and sometimes press space simulator and an intractable album than a game. but dear god it's a really stellar intractable album

My vote is between yes and no. "Yes" if you are into original songs will little to no gameplay, which is meant to be experienced in one sitting. "No" if you're looking for something more interactive - this however picks up towards the end, and the controls are very simple. Nice songs that fits the overall storyline, the 8-bit look and the landscape scenes were pretty. there is some autosave function in some chapters. my only gripe is that the characters move slow, which i guess is meant to be that way so that the storyline depicts the realistic movement of life and through different stages, and the songs can be enjoyed in its entirety. had fun acting out as the kid and doing the endless naruto run 😂

The Longest Road on Earth isn't really a game, but it is definitely an experience. The narrative is up to interpretation, but it covers themes of going to work and growing up, which anyone can relate to. The black and white pixel art properly fits the idea of playing the game as looking back into history. And the soundtrack? Holy cow, Beícoli did an amazing job! The soundtrack, without question, makes this game beautifully unique.
