It hearkens to the best parts of games like Fallout 2, and many other CRPGs of the '90s, and it fits right in alongside classic Fallout and the Wasteland games. It’s flawed in some areas, with bugs in spots, but it offers tremendous role-playing and storytelling that make it more than worth your time to spend upwards of thirty or more hours in post-apocalyptic Australia.","2025-01-15T05:11:40.334202-05:00",{"id":415,"logo":427,"name":428,"slug":429,"tags":353,"bluesky":26,"twitter":430,"youtube":431,"facebook":432,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":433,"website_url":434,"score_format":186,"average_score":111,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":435,"stats_updated_at":436,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":437,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":438,"published_reviews_count":439},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

There’s some promise at first with its distinct, all-encompassing cultural flavor. But the scenario holding up the setting only struggled to capture my interest. Combat was a similar vibe, feeling like doing chores in the middle of reading a middle of the road novel in a crowded genre. While cool on paper the morality system did more harm than good, overloading the dialogue and getting in the way of character and personality. Nothing in Broken Roads felt bad or, well, broken. But whenever I played it, unless I was chuckling at the slang translator doing something weird I was always thinking of other things I would rather be doing.","2025-02-08T09:16:00.929181-05:00",{"id":63,"logo":498,"name":499,"slug":500,"tags":209,"bluesky":26,"twitter":500,"youtube":501,"facebook":500,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":502,"website_url":503,"score_format":45,"average_score":139,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":504,"news_editor_email":505,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":334,"reviews_editor_email":506,"editor_in_chief_email":507,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FShackNews-Logo.jpg","ShackNews","shacknews","Shacknewsgames","Gaming News on the Cutting Edge of Technology.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002F","Canton, OH","tj.denzer@shacknews.com","bill.lavoy@shacknews.com","asif.khan@shacknews.com",{"id":509,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":510,"author":511,"original_score":226,"normalized_score":227,"review_url":518,"review_date":10,"summary":519,"created_at":520,"updated_at":520,"author_id":512,"last_edited_at":520,"outlet":521},87396,42,{"id":512,"bio":26,"name":513,"avg_score":514,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":515,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":516,"claim_token":26,"article_count":517,"claimed_by_user_id":26},210,"Reid McCarter",57.77777777777778,"2024-10-09T13:42:45.3286-04:00","2025-08-26T11:33:36.156712-04:00",17,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamesn.com\u002Fbroken-roads\u002Freview","Despite the promise of its setting and philosophically informed morality system, Broken Roads fails to set itself apart from or come remotely close to matching the many post-apocalyptic games it’s inspired by.","2025-03-03T18:24:37.06261-05:00",{"id":510,"logo":522,"name":523,"slug":524,"tags":209,"bluesky":525,"twitter":523,"youtube":524,"facebook":526,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":527,"website_url":528,"score_format":45,"average_score":86,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":357,"news_editor_email":529,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":359,"reviews_editor_email":530,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fpcgamesn%20logo.jpg","PCGamesN","pcgamesn","pcgamesn.com","PCGamesNetwork","Everything you need to know about PC gaming, hardware, and Half-Life 3.","https:\u002F\u002Fpcgamesn.com\u002F","lauren.bergin@pcgamesn.com","cameron.bald@pcgamesn.com"]
