The guys from ACG’s podcast seem to be looking forward to this one.
So, they managed to find a publisher after all?
I like that morality system they have.
Reviews are middling-at-best so far.
I like the setting, what unnerves me (and this is such a personal gripe) is the first gif they use in the About this Game section….why are shotguns confetti cannons from 12 feet away?
Game was nowhere near being ready to release before it got delayed, the feedback was very poor from everyone who saw the game.
I doubt they had enough time and money to vastly improve the experience. I expect mid to low scores across the board.
Gotta say, the delay might’ve been a bummer but it’s better than a half-cooked release. Also, that confetti shotgun is plain hilarious!
are we allowed to promo now?
So basically wasteland australia
If it works on the Steam Deck I might get this, not to expensive either but seems like a neat little game.
another trash turn based tedium

>Bugs or no bugs, though, I still can’t recommend Broken Roads. Take any individual quest or conversation in the game, and I’d probably be able to tell you something I liked about it. But big picture-wise? There’s nothing driving me forward. I appreciate the open-ended quest design, but when I meet a stranger who asks me for ten radio parts, with no context, and this becomes another ‘main quest’ alongside several other, mostly contextless main quests, how am I supposed to feel motivated to push on? I’m not completing quests to progress through a story, I’m knocking off journal entries until something happens. I’m batting the air for a thread to grasp and I just can’t find one. Not the bigger picture story. Not a single party member I want to hear more from, or spend more time with, or solve their problems. Not a system I love playing with and need to progress, to watch evolve, to poke at the edges of.
