Road 96

Road 96 is an emotional and politically heavy story with incredible character work and fiercely held beliefs.

Road 96 becomes, thanks to its fine writing and its ability to make you think and reflect, into one of the best independent video games of 2021. An excellent journey of encounters with your ideals and, above all, with those of others.

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.

Well, I have a lot to talk about. Firstly the goal of the game + the story is good, I really like how the games put the fate of the country in the teens (You), and your actions will impact the outcome and the fate of Petria. But something I can't take my mind off is that the game in most of the time is very boring, that's especially if you play +30 minutes per session, you may not experience this but it was very boring, I used it to sleep early last day. All that aside, I think it's a good experience and deserves a try. Played for the first time on 15th April and completed on the 17th April. 5 hours played

20块钱买了一坨难说的东西,10块钱已经顶天了。 本来因为对游戏的选题感兴趣才买的,结果游戏的政治观念幼稚难绷。我本身也是很讨厌米分虫且的,但这游戏让我看到了 跟他们一样弱智的群体。还有人说像奇异人生,只能说比奇异人生的文本差的 不止一点,音乐选的也是不知所云,理解作者是想用 轻松的公路主题来讲述一个故事,但是简直混乱到幼 稚,幼稚又到混乱。第一次玩剧情游戏过程中大脑膨胀难受的要命,全程 尿点不断,隔了这么长时间才通关。说这是风景模拟器吧,这建模的艺术风格很好吗?这 配音也是像卡通动画片一样,说这是剧情游戏,但这 剧情真的是一坨。只能说构思还不错,但是剧本水平实在是太烂了,很 难让人引起共鸣,甚至像反串,可能只有天真黄左民 逗们才喜欢吧。

Interesting game with some complex ideas. Unfortunately, it dose not stick the landing. Characters are very one note and don't really help evolve or examine the issues that the game is trying to tackle. 4/10, Too big a bite of the pie :(
