Road 96

Great Story driven game, where you as the player can take influence on the gameworld and see the results of your actions. While some gameplay loops can be repetative, it's a 20€ game after all, it progresses fast enough without that becoming really an issue. Gamespeed really picks up around 75% through the game and does a good job getting to the point. To disagree with the political message of this game is rather hard as the "antagonist" is basically something like North Korea or another Dictator ruled "Democracy"

Now I have played for about three hours and its been pretty fun, there's a lot to unpack but it has the experience of that if you fail its not the end, sometimes you might learn a skill. I was disappointed that the game don't support natively ds5(ps5 controller) had to use ps4 controller which supports it without any extra software. would say that they should add sensitivity to the controller for those mini games feels like its at high sensitivity but it works. all that to say that i probably i have to update this review when i have more hours in.

I can't really say if the game is good since I can't play it from getting terrible motion sickness. There is no way of fixing the prb in settings either so this is just a warning if you have problem with motion sickness in games this is probably not the game for you.

There are little things to say on a game that starts in a world where the "evil president" builds a wall to stop illegal immigrants from entering, and stops the young hip teens from fleeing. Graphically it is a low poly game. It looks decent, for a low poly game, but that is about it. The volumetric fog keeps the game acceptable. The characters are generic just as any other low poly corporate marketing "games" of today. The sound is... average. With "classical" EDM style tracks interrupted by some kind of "disturbed background noise". The voice acting is actually good. The actors did a great job. The story. Oh boy. Did you even wanted to play the CNN reality of "Trump is evil and will kill everyone and throw the migrants into working camps"? No? Too bad, because this is what you will get. Starts with the "evil billionaire president" throws a party in the middle of the desert using some cheap props, indie bands and a small van camp.... yes, that's a "rich dude party", and goes downhill from there. There are red necks, stalkers, racists, bad cops, good cops, and of course everyone is has a role, to tell you that your current president elected, is evil. Every single narrative conclusion is exactly the same. Player choices. In all Visual Novel games you get to make some choices. Here you can choose to be evil or not. Choosing to side with the cop that tries to do her job and escort a juvenile offender to a detention center - is a bad choice, you're evil, the cop is evil, the world is evil, bad you bad bad bad! Well, you say to yourself, whatever, let's get this punk in jail, become "evil" and see what will happen. Well, nothing happens! The cop will release the punk regardless. Because racism or something. She just changes her mind under mob pressure and that's that. Your choices, are meaningless, and that is it. Once you start this game you will accept that your elected president is an evil rich white racist. Period.

I have this game on Steam and gave a good try. I got too bored with the safe story. A safe story is a story that is not creatively bold and doesn't take risks. In other words, this game can't be cancelled socially, and that's why it's boring; it's made of checkmarks to send their political message. It has good presentation and gameplay for a narrative focused game.
