The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy slow road trips, wry philosophical narration, and the grit of keeping an old car running: You cross the Eastern Bloc at a sputtering pace, and the car's fragile engine makes every stretch of road feel earned. Tradeoff: Its unhurried travel and frequent breakdowns will frustrate players who want fast action or a steady sense of progress.
