Road 96
Posted: 24 Dec 2021, 17:56
"An impressive series of individual vignettes pave the way for a compelling if politically heavy-handed character-driven road trip adventure."
The Good:
Core supporting characters are well-written and interesting
Outstanding voice acting without exception
One of the best original adventure game soundtracks in recent memory
The Bad:
Overall narrative is less compelling and frequently too heavy-handed
Some scenes get bogged down in expositional info dump
Our Verdict:
Though not entirely successful as a broad narrative experience, Road 96 presents a series of compelling individual character studies whose offbeat sense of humor and heart make for a rewarding road trip.
