Summary

Home Sheep Home is a puzzle game that can entertain kids no end and even give us older gamers a run for our brain power. The goal is simple, use the three unique sheep to navigate the perilous level and make it to the exit on the other side. For this out there that appreciate game name drops, Home Sheep Home is a kid’s version of The Lost Vikings in that each sheep has a unique set of skills like one can jump high, one can crawl under tight spots and the bigger than your average sheep can knock down boxes or fill in holes, it’s this that makes up the basis of the game. It plays really well despite some bizarre slowdown and it has really clever level design. I wish it had a bit more life to it when playing like voices or comical sound effects butt honestly it’s hard to knock the game too much. If you want a bit of quiet time or some easy trophies then this game can babysit or entertain your kids for ages.
