March 2025
Don't listen to people claiming that game is "abandoned" or unfinished. Could this game be more and have more content? Sure, but the game most definitely isn't unfinished. Developers finished this game and went working on other project(s). There's plenty to do (for a hobo). There's mini-games, side quests, main quest/main story, even skills and perks, and it all has it's head and tail. It's a cool little janky winter-time hobo simulator with neat atmosphere. I especially recommend it on sale.

Fairly enjoyable clawing your way up the hobo hierarchy in back alley Game of Thrones. You will get drunk, you will get tetanus, you'll probably sh*t your pants and die a few times. Winter is coming.

This is a very tough review. On one hand, it's not only a hard game, but also a grind that can leave you softlocked from achieving your "goals", on the other hand it's literally called "hobo: tough life" - so you should expect it being tough solely due to its name. On one hand you have a detailed and a nice city fully of NPCs, quests and interactions, on the other hand you have plenty of characters and places that seem like have been unfinished and were originally supposed to have a bigger role - e.g. the lady whose dog got lost and her "stuck" trust, Victor, Mahony and others whose trust has no meaning nor purpose, the unrelated quest regarding the golem, 2 missing blueprints, and other minor things. This is a masterpiece stuck in time - no further updates, improvements or deserved closure of all gaming aspects, but a very interesting experience nonetheless. I used save backups often so I could speedrun the achievements and story as well as I could, but if you're not careful, expect to play much longer than I played - if you want to unlock all the achievements and complete all the quests....

Devs should come back to this one, Its pretty fun it just needs polishing around the edges. I feel if they were to add mod support this game would blow up more.

Surprised the game is this good. Expected a more goofy fun arcade approach like Bum Simulator, but this one is more in depth. The survival element is done very good in terms of the homeless world. Your first hours won't be the easiest, but once you've figured it all out, the game is an absolute blast. Highly recommend
