Gone home is pathethic because it's literally 5 minutes long, this game at least has some artwork and cool loking environments to... walk around.

No.

In gone home every room is plenty of interesting elements to interact and analyze that makes you learn about an engaging story and makes you feel an icredible nostalgia for the early nineties, in gone home you don´t have to walk miles to find something interesting as everything happens in the same house and every room has something interesting,  in gone home you learn about the characters very deeply, you actually care about this family because it makes you get inside their secrets, their personality, motivations, their past, and in Gone Home you feel a wild variety of feelings in your 2 - 3 hours (not 5 minutes).

However in Everyone is gone to the rapture the only thing you do is walk and listen other people story, there is almost no interactivity at all, to find something interesting you need to wal and walk and walk because everything is too big and empty so you are bored half of the game, you listen the story from characters that you don´t know and you don´t care at all, not only because they are assholes, but because you only see little glimpses of their lives but you neveer connect with anyone, in Everybody is gone to the rapture there is a heavy backtracking that makes walk even more in a game where you spend all time... walking, and the games has exactly the same tone from the beginning to the end, making it boring as hell.

Gone home and The stanley parable are the 2 best walking simulators ever made, as they are really genious making the player engaged with a really well written story, with a sense of interactivity and without any boring moments, Everyone Is Gone to The Rapture is like Dear Esther, you walk and hear voices from people, but now you walk a lot more.


Wow you actually liked Gone Home? well i guess everyone has different opinions.

 

For me gone home was a joke and exactly what's wrong with journalism, the game only got praised because it's all about a lesbian and SJWs loved it, the game was a joke, you walk around and read stuff, yeah truly game of the year.

 

Meanwhile actual good games like Bayonetta 2 or MGS:V get shat on because a woman is almost naked.
