I’m a big fan of nostalgia, so when Hermit Games hit you with the shrilled beauty of the Spectrum loading screen before starting Leave Home, you get a feeling that this could well be a lot more than expected.
Like, I’d suspect, most of you out there, I hadn’t even heard of this game. Only through reviewing this do I know it exists and thank the Gods of vectors and pixels that I got to have a look at this because it’s quite easily one of the best indie titles out there (yeah, I know that kind of stuffs the rest of the review, but I can at least give you multiple reasons as to why it’s so good now).
First off is the really quirky blend of 8-bit remembrance and neon induced funkiness that culminates into one of the smallest files on the Xbox roster. When you first look at the download screen you will think to yourself that you’re not going to get a lot for 5 MB of data. All I can say to that is the old phrase “Sometimes the best things come in small packages.”
