“Great game - about 2 hrs long similar to Prey 2017 but without combat or a lot of tension - just chill exploration and conversation Fun story, highly recommend to walking sim fans especially on sale for $4”
“Tacoma is a pretty good entry in the "walking simulator" entry. It's not great by any means, but it has relatable characters, a suspenseful plot, and an innovative interactive system to replay and discover the past…”

“Easy recommendation from me, if you're into this sort of thing. I was on the fence with the dev's previous game, Gone Home, on the basis that while the depiction of a 90s house, a developing, environmentally-delivered…”
“An interesting and concise narrative with top tier voice acting and great writing. The suggestions of the wider world through the objects, emails and letters make it feel very rich and immersive. I do wish it was a tad…”
“its a story driven games. you just walk around and learn what happened to the crew. the story was short(2h )but good, interesting and the voices actor were very good. it was a fun 2 hours if you like interactive movie…”

“Steam reviews really need a "neutral" option. I can't leave a negative review, but can't recommend the game either. It has one major pro - visuals. I think environmental design and graphics are great. Floating…”

“the game is unbearable WOKE . If this is your way, go ahead.”
“Yeah... The story is unfortunately very bad with the typical unnuanced dystopian anti-capitalism message. Which is ironic because you are on a private space station filled with HR and union people. I have no problem…”

“Buy this game! Play this game! I started to play Tacoma a while ago and dropped it after the first 5 minutes. I wasn't in the mood for the narrative-heavy space station exploration at the time. I'm glad I came back to it and did so at a time when I could play through in one day.…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“The story in this game was *chef's kiss* Loved it! The nonsequential narrative style really impacted how I felt about the characters and made me invested in their lives. Also the 0G mechanics felt great, takes some getting used to, but very fun. 10/10 recommended.”
