Road 96

I could reflect about people want to cross a border of their disadvantaged state and write about inner of dictatorships, but I don’t see it has a necessity.

Road 96 doesn’t research and doesn’t devote on these topics. A game mostly does illusion. Setting of fictional Petria, which associate with Midwest of the United States, has territory in two thousand miles at least and it’s population honestly supports dictator Tyrak, but their mind can change by always drawing of horns and mustaches on posters with a despotic ruler as same with alternative candidate of upcoming of so-called elections. That’s arcade thing directs me to common sadness that gamemakers make less releases of serious games today. No about attempts to influence on citizens by find ways to reveal a truth or saboteur acts. Also with special phrases among always senseless conversations the most propagandist TV program shows a social poll that more thirty percent for senator Florres or one hundred twenty-five per cent (sic) abstain. Chosen activity will bring to one of two common endings with pattern difference of who of characters will be killed. A variant with a border revolt ignited overthrowing is nonsense. Did developers learn anything on dictatorships? I more think that DigixArt promotes own left-wing views if a good ending in demolished wall and make people equal by sharing money between them what does only alternative candidate senator Florres who implements views of every hostile to Tyrak peaceful inhabitant of Petria. It’s a tragedy that nowadays repeats what wasn’t so long ago. Somewhere socialism still presents. I did right that all eight hitchhikers had on mind only to cross the border.

It’s possible that any of unknown protagonist can be robbed, killed and arrested if didn’t eat or sleep, but gameplay constrains in decisions. It impossible to move away from place after stolen keys. You must have conversations and play in games, which simplistic (recreation of 70s arcade machines games Pong and Tank.) and, as the most actions in walkthrough, do by mouse click and I very didn’t like that for keep in mood of drunken character I pressured for match of zooming circle with dotted circle. Anyway you enter in bar after any answer. Saved camera with exposing record or thrown on the ground haven’t difference in future as can lie or say who is a wanted person, because his truck will never stop here. That’s a wrong way to give dictatorship feeling.
A committing route to final destination is loading of one of not so much generated with meaningful character levels, which don’t make ties and possible do paradox. I couldn’t coax one boy on halt his bomb initiative and I easily spoke with him in the next level. Maybe, no one recognized each other while another happened with me case is impossible for excuse. I jumped on one of two muggers invaded in road diner and eventually both of them escaped as they would leave this place anyway. In followed location these two guys who also noted on TV stayed on public in their same outfit with balaclavas (developers didn’t create characters without all that.). They didn’t recognize me as also I. We had a conversation in which events of previous level didn’t exist.
In having of elaborated ridiculous a script does in the end in reveal of soap opera by that most of met on a long road characters know each other and many of them are relatives. Rarely degradation was in directing. For fell in sadness boy added a sudden rain. 

Road 96 in conception required larger budget, but it wouldn’t make the game better.
