Screen Rant
By Screen RantIt's a funny, refreshingly unique take on lifestyle simulator games, and one which is absolutely worth playing if you like the idea of Elite: Dangerous but can't be bothered with all those multi-hour space treks and weird landing pad requirements.
Hardcore Gamer
By Callum MarshallStarstruck Vagabond is an audacious attempt to provide a space-based life sim that doesn't go to the same well as many developers have done in the post-Stardew-Valley landscape. In this bid to stand out from the rest, however, this game feels like a smorgasbord of simple, repetitive and generally uninteresting mindless chores. The game has a solid foundation with understandable, intuitive mechanics and the promise of an addictive gameplay loop. And while it delivers in one way to offer a 'switch-your-brain-off' sort of feel, the game feels as vacuous as the setting. The humorous writing does help to motivate you to begrudgingly push for the finish line, but in the end, it's all just busy work, and not the fun kind.
