Road 96

Road 96 - Unique game, Unique story

Road 96 is an excellent, very interesting and also unique game. The game contains elements: adventure, excellent storytelling, atmosphere, a little humor, emotionality, a deep plot, as well as decisions with consequences.

GRAPHICS:

Quite pleasant and beautiful graphics, similar graphics were found in Fairwatch and also in The Long Dark, there is nothing more to say about it, the most important thing is that it is pleasing to the eyes and complements the atmosphere of the game.

SOUNDTRACK:

The soundtrack in the game is simply amazing! It fits perfectly and also complements the atmosphere of the game, conveys the state of mind of the characters, and also simply calms and completely immerses you in the game! Definitely on my list - Games with the best soundtrack.

CHARACTERS:

The characters in the game are very interesting, each with their own “Zest”, each has their own story, their own path, their own vision and positioning, each character is truly endowed with their own soul, a living soul, the soul of the present person. It is interesting to communicate with the characters, learn something new about them, listen to them and also help them. The characters are memorable - and this is the most important thing!

PLOT:

The plot is interesting, exciting, addictive, I don’t remember the last time, while playing games, I forgot about time, about reality. This game managed to draw me into an interesting story, into an amazing and unique plot of its kind, about a harsh world, about how teenagers tried to cross the border, about their wanderings, about their difficulties, and the obstacles that they encountered in this fictional state - Petria. In the story we play for 7 or 8 teenagers (I don’t remember exactly), we play for each one gradually until one dies (and this is very simple, after taking one wrong step), or crosses the border, but before he does it , he will see characters: both bad and good, good and evil, will visit many places, help many people, will encounter problems, solutions to these problems, as well as serious choices that can not only affect the hero, but also the state the entire state.

LOCATIONS:

The locations in the game are simply amazing, in the game there is a state (or a city) that resembles some American town. I love the theme of America, that is, these mobile homes, canyons, nature, sunsets, houses in their own unique style, with their own unique furniture, these American cars - muscle cars, pickups, old jeeps, there is a lot of this in the game. For me, this choice became final, my favorite locations in games are any American town, its prototype or a fictional version, it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that it is imbued with this American style, as for example in Road 96.

OPTIMIZATION:

There were no problems with optimization, everything went very well at the highest settings in 4K

BUGS:

I didn’t encounter a single bug while playing through this game.

UNIQUENESS:

This game is unique and the only one, I have never played similar games. The developers are great for implementing such an idea and turning it into a game. I think the uniqueness is manifested precisely in its implementation, in the gameplay of the game, during the entire game we will play as 8 teenagers in total, who will get to the border by any means, who will meet many characters who will already be familiar to us, since playing for each of teenagers, we will meet the same characters, we will know their history, but the heroes themselves (that is, teenagers) will think that they have met them for the first time. We will get to the border by any means, we have several options to choose from: meet a hitchhiker and ride on it, wait for the bus, if you’re lucky, call a taxi for money, go on foot, or just find the keys to the car and then steal it, in general, ways to get around many.

Also unique is that for absolutely every character we will encounter the same places (not all of them, of course, but they are present in the game), the phrase of Vaas from Far Cry 3 is perfect here - “Madness is an exact repetition the same action over and over again in the hope of change. This is.... Madness" Only for the place of the same action we will meet the same locations, leave something new on them, and then observe changes for another hero and also make changes.

CONCLUSION:

The famous developers - Digixart managed to make an amazing game, convey the atmosphere of the game, characters, create unique gameplay and a very, very good soundtrack. That is, they 100% managed to do what many AAA games cannot do, with many millions of funds. The game definitely deserves your attention, and by purchasing this game you deserve great emotions, impressions and just joy in your soul. I recommend!
