Broken Roads review - a lonely scavenger hunt for scraps of interest
Eurogamer's review of Broken Roads, a philosophical RPG that leaves you asking "what am I here?" for all the wrong reasons.
From Tyranny's power-grasping fatebinder in an occupied land, and Harry du Bois's desperate reflection of the ideologies around him in Disco Elysium, Broken Roads' promise of philosophically mapped out moral quandaries in a lawless post-apocalypse looked to fit right in. Concepts like 'justice', 'safety' and 'freedom' mean vastly different things to the travelling scavenger, the isolated homestead, and the walled-in city - and Broken Roads is very happy to gesture towards the conclusion that maybe the societies we live in are equally artificially constructed, even if their histories are a little longer. In character creation, you go through building a history where you make choices that feel genuinely grounded in their belief systems, and the early game regularly shows off the moral compass.
