Broken Roads Review

Broken Roads reviewed by Malindy Hetfield on PC, also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
Broken Roads is an ambitious RPG that can’t meet the expectations it sets for itself. It asks you to invest in an intricate morality system only to not end up making good use of it, giving you choices that don’t lead to much. A lot of this could be forgiven if the story held up, but there really isn’t much of a story to begin with, despite the philosophical angle Broken Roads tries very hard to get across. Couple this disappointing journey’s interesting but poorly executed ideas with often busted combat, and Broken Roads lives up to its name in all the wrong ways.

Those roads look perfectly functional to me...

Do you guys just sit at home refreshing IGNs webpage on the off chance you might be able to spoil the score of a review? Why not try having an original thought?

[@iamimpostor3807]

Im just looking for new game,dont care with their review

[@tantona9315]

Most people don't want to listen to guff and just want to laugh at the score given (which is typically a seven in 99% of cases - obviously not here....and it seems an accurate review).

[@gustavhjertman3551]

Because "gamers" nowadays are pathetic babies

[@Zagor24]

How can someone spoil a score for you? Do comments load for you above the video itself?

[@gustavhjertman3551]

@@Zagor24 yes, it's always the top comment in the preview visible without even clicking the video itself (not just here but on most IGN videos)

[@asrulahmad5862]

they should start making a dlc called Unbroken Roads

[@Bijay007]

The timing can't be a coincidence.

[@thenostalgiabusiness]

What would the non-coincidence be?

[@Curry.N]

release of Fallout tv series?

@@thenostalgiabusinessI believe they are referring to the tragedy that happened to us in Australia last weekend

Oh man. The narrator is already irritating me. And I’m Australian.

They gave it a 10

[@Boocat94]

Another flop game

[@natewhite192]

The narrator seems so bad it seems like a joke.

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

We have disco elysium x Mad Max at home:

[@wadesymes1703]

Why does every other review say that decisions you make, do make a big impact in the story but this review says the opposite? something fishy here

[@the15thprofessor]

It’s a CRPG that isn’t Baldur’s Gate so IGN is having a hissy fit

[@jamesrcole78]

That’s because “every other review” does not do that.

[@sweatshopsammy]

seeing as the steam reviews sits at 61% negative probably going to side with ign here

[@Cipher_XoF]

Its a 7 minus 3.

[@ryandavid1277]

You're a loser

What an embarrassment absolute incompetence Drop Bear Bytes needs to get of games now

[@dandyrick1957]

What a shame for a this genre of a game 😢

[@Aragorn7884]

Fallout x Mad Max 😅

[@tubularmonkeymaniac]

Fallout was inspired by mad max

[@Liafram]

What a shame

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

Wow a 4. Sheesh.

[@Phil_Official]

Thanks for the warning. That´s 40 Euro I´m saving.

[@shane7103]

Yeah man, honestly at half that price you could take the risk, but after spending a few hours on it, you're better off saving your money.

[@MightyManotaur22]

oof, that narrator is ROUGH

[@alexthemanwhoknows1]

Nasally voice aside, it also sounds like they recorded her on a 7-year-old iPhone

[@Marlo_Branco]

Great but ... can you be a radical communist like in Disco Elysium? If not, this game isn't worth it. I'm going back to Revachol.

[@endrgar]

It’s a shame that this is mostly a text-based RPG, there’s a lot of text and the main point is in the dialogues. The combat system could be better, more varied, but there’s little of it in the game and it’s not particularly varied. If we compare Disco Elysium is not a bad game, but compared to the classic Fallout and Wasteland 2, the game is weak.

This was funded by Queensland Australia, government.

‘That setup’ isn’t just familiar across games - some might say that’s just Australia…

[@codyakak]

It’s a 9

[@shane7103]

Maybe a 4.9

[@Swagghanistan]

The score is 0. You’re welcome.

[@Cawd217]

Thank you.

[@_Cetarial]

They gave it a 7 - 3.

It's a 4. Shite.

[@KnightOfTheEmpire]

You get to buy groceries 10/10

[@bomesar]

Playing Broken Roads (and a lot of other games) will show you how out of touch IGN is. Get it on a discount if you're that scared of having fun for a full price.

[@nikidelvalle]

That... is very disappointing.

[@ZeroOne130]

Shame all that hype for nothing.

[@zairomolino4074]

Yup, we still have to wait to see a fallout style baldurs gate 3.
