“A masterpiece in storytelling, not in an oscar sense but that they have a story they want to tell and tell it perfectly. The characters can be very caricature at times but it suits the fun spirited feeling of the game.”
“Incredible game with doodoo ass endings. You play more for the journey than the destination and the journey is incredible.”
“Art is nice and the story has a good concept. But I feel it falls flat in the writng towards the mid-late game. the npcs get more and more repedative and you choices feel less and less impactful. The game play is weak…”

“Great game. Seven main stories, that are experienced through plenty people over many episodes (even New Game +). The minigames are fun, the dialogs are interesting, the locations are nice to look at. There are some…”

“In some ways, if I had to describe Road 96 in a single phrase, I'd say 'if a Telltale game were first-person'. It offers a decent commentary on being young in an authoritarian state, with a fair bit of player agency…”
“I haven't 100% the game yet, but I have really enjoyed it. I especially love the soundtrack, so I'm glad I bough that with the game when it was all on sale. It does get a bit tedious to replay the game through multiple…”
