I’m all in favour of a balance of game lengths. We don’t want everything to be an epic. But two hours?! Either there’s little gameplay or little story. Still, a good one for playing on Game Pass.
Spent just under an hour with Open Roads so far. The “two hours” claim seems dubious, as only one achievement has unlocked.
While I do like slow games, this is borderline tedious. You literally just pick up items in order to advance the dialogue. They might as well have just made it an animated film. Maybe it’ll become more of a game later on.
Story-wise - massive yawn. A girl learns about her grandmother through her mother’s anecdotes. Very touching, I’m sure, but god it drags on. And then suddenly there’s a plot point and, unless they’re tricking us, it’s the most blindingly obvious thing ever. If it’s going to be the twist that has been signposted, I’m kind of embarrassed for the developers.
OK, the rest of the game was better than that bore of an introduction. Actual time was four hours. Would be much shorter if you skipped the audio dialogue and just read the subtitles instead, but that’s kind of rude.
For those that are bothered, any missed achievements can be quickly gathered afterwards via a chapter select.
