Road 96 is a really good walking sim. It's a politically-charged story set in a fictional totalitarian dictatorship where various player characters are trying to escape and/or vote out and/or overthrow the president. The funny thing is... it's based on French politics of the 1980s and 1990s. So, of course, there's no shortage of people complaining about it making a mockery of USA politics in general, and Donald Trump in particular.

The combat feels dated (even though this game's only a few years old), but there's a solid story, there's lots to do, there's plenty to find to keep you busy, and the game is very stable. I'm 42 hours in and nowhere near finishing. Even though I sometimes find myself firing off shotgun shells by accident, I whole-heartedly recommend the game.
