Road 96 isn't a game that made a ton of waves when it was originally released mid-2021. It did, however, receive a number of awards, nominations, and positive critical reviews. Suffice to say, Road 96 is a game worth playing, but it was limited by the reach of indie publishing and financial support for only PC and Switch versions at launch.
