Great story that is sure to have you hooked, but even after your first playthrough and you know what happens, you'll still want to play this game over and over, and two playthroughs can be completely different because of all the choices you can make. Some scenes will make you laugh; some will make you emotional, and some will build up tension better than a lot of horror games. This game is an absolute must-play.

Developer Digixart has crafted a thoughtful look at what it’s like to live in tumultuous circumstances, and how it can affect people emotionally. It’s sadly prescient of the world we actually live in, and maybe that’s why Road 96’s message of survival and perseverance make the impact it does, at least the first time around.

Certainly Road 96 isn't a game for the masses, it's a bit of a niche. But this does not mean that it cannot please those who want to try something new and special. If you like compelling and captivating stories, backstories and slightly daring adventures, if you love the fact that every choice made has a weight on the unfolding of events, then it is a title that you could and should try. It is certainly an experience different from many others that in the end they all look a bit alike.

Road 96 is an intriguing on-the-go experience with interesting characters and a well crafted sense of adventure.

Even with some messy execution on its political themes, Road 96 succeeds at capturing a fractious journey on the road and the turmoil of modern American politics. A deeper exploration of Petria’s history may give more context to the game’s narrative of taking change of your own destiny. But without this background, it ends up oversimplifying its premise by positing that the only barrier to equity and justice is a strongman in a suit. In reality, injustice runs far deeper.

Road 96 is a game that fall short of its promises. Branching storylines all have the same outcomes, and subplots of many characters are to predictable, even if a little funny.

Road 96 me surpreendeu muito. O que aparentava ser um jogo de uma simples roadtrip, se tornou um dos jogos mais impressionantes que já tive o prazer de jogar. As relações, os cenários, os gráficos "cartoon", os personagens e o desenvolvimento da história, simplesmente incrível.

Despite first bad impression I must admit that the story was great and playing this game was a pleasant experience. It's not very long game and for good because at the end it's became little boring. Great music and nice graphics. Overall pretty good game to kill some time.

Bon le jeu est bof... je ne comprend pas les notes aussi hautes qu'il a reçu. Le jeu est ennuyant, et on sent qu'il n'y a pas grand chose à faire. Le jeu est tellement linéaire que je préfère regarder un film avec la même histoire que faire des choix qui n'ont aucune importance. Franchement, ça vaut pas le coup. C'est une perte d'argent et de temps. Le jeu est long pour ce qu'il propose. J'ai remarqué un gros point négatif : la musique du jeu se lance à n'importe quel moment, ce qui est très désagréable, et en plus elle ne correspond parfois pas du tout au mood de la scène.
