This game is currently in the Humble Choice for July 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before August 1st, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

A choose-your-own-adventure game.

Roadwarden feels like a classic choose-your-own-adventure book, where you’re just making choices, however, there’s a lot more. Your character has stats, that can potentially affect which scenes you see and how characters will act to you. The world is vastly hostile as well, meaning players will have to keep their wits about them. At least that’s the assumption.

I haven’t seen much of that yet, what I’ve played is pretty straightforward. It’s a very passive game as well, where the player is mostly just reading paragraph after paragraph and making choices. I don’t know how impactful those choices are yet. Also, the music can be quite repetitive, and I almost feel like I need a pen and paper to take notes, even though the game offers a journal for the main quests.

Pick this up if you love slow methodical stories, and exploring a dangerous wilderness. I enjoyed the reading but it was pretty terrible streaming because it’s just reading page of information after page. After playing it, I respect the game, but I just don’t see myself returning to this one due to how passive the experience was.
