No Straight Roads is a delightfully ambitious game with some great visuals and an excellent soundtrack. Unfortunately the game's ideas feel held back primarily by its clunky gameplay (as both platforming and combat left a bit to be desired) and an underutilized hybridization of action and rhythm combat.

It's story, writing and voice acting also ranged from being charming to occasionally feeling a bit spotty. A microcosm of their charm and issues can be seen with how the character DK West is handled.

Overall the clear passion that shows from the developers when playing this game made it a unique experience and I'm excited to see what Metronomik has in store for the future.
