Road to Guangdong Switch XCI Free Download Romslab Accompanied by Guu Ma (her eldest aunt), Sunny must travel across the titular province of Guangdong, encountering more of her family members and helping them out with their own problems to be rewarded with longstanding family recipes to boost her restaurant. It’s a compelling and warm premise. That’s not to say that it’s a particularly good game to play, moment-to-moment. Road to Guangdong is laced with problems, not least its performance. To be frank, it’s all over the place; the narrative segments of the game play out fine, but as soon as you get behind the wheel of your car the framerate takes a nosedive.

Now, this writer has never been a big “framerate guy”, but the Switch is noticeably and egregiously struggling during these sections even in docked mode. It strikes us as a little strange, because the landscapes that you pass are extremely linear and lacking in much detail; the routes are long, but we would have thought that the Switch could run a game like this much better. Linearity is actually a major issue with the driving sections; they encompass the bulk of Road to Guangdong, and they never threaten to become interesting. The vibe is occasionally in step with the generally laid-back ambience of the game.

This captivating coming-of-age story was written by Yen Ooi and is set against the atmospheric backdrop of 1990s China.

The constant requirement to stop and refuel or fix up your vehicle at garages detracts from any zen experience you may feel. It’s also lacking in strategy – for one thing, the routes are presented as straight lines with extremely underpopulated roads. After picking your destination you set out and will come across the aforementioned garages and scrapyards from which car parts can be salvaged, but besides these occasional distractions and the odd remark from Guu Ma, the driving is completely uneventful. It would have added to the road trip sensibility if there were a map to follow.

The player had to glance down to read it in real-time, it would add a frisson of immersion to the drives. As it is, not only do you not have to plan a route, you barely even have to steer. When stationary, other cars will simply pass through you like ghosts. It feels very formless; like something they patch out during “early access”, but it’s presented here as a finished, complete product. Developed by Just Add Oil Games and published by Excalibur Games, Road to Guangdong was originally released as an Early Access title on Steam last year but was removed, and a glance at the reviews is easy to see why.

As Excalibur Games was responsible for the hit road-tripping title Jalopy only a few years prior, fans took one look at Road to Guangdong and immediately assumed it would be “Jalopy 2,” naturally frustrated when it wasn’t. I’d like to manage player expectations right now for those readers who saw Road to Guangdong and thought the same — it is a different game entirely, and one that deserves to be judged on its own instead of unfairly against another. Road to Guangdong follows the story of Sunny and her Guu Ma (paternal aunt) Grace as they take the beloved family clunker. Timespinner Switch NSP

The reason? Sunny’s parents have recently passed, so they need both the blessings and recipes of the family members, which will allow Sunny to take over the Tong Family Restaurant. Set in the 1990s, this means that Sunny and Guu Ma must make the journey with no GPS and no cell phones — just a general idea of where they’re going and the dulcet tones of Guu Ma’s favorite songs (since she won’t let you change the station). Throughout Road to Guangdong, Sunny and Guu Ma visit various family members, and through these meetings you’ll learn about your family’s deep history.

Sometimes the stories you learn about are upsetting, whilst other times they’ve uplifting. From an uncle’s discovery he has a real family in America, to the hidden relationship between Guu Ma and the restaurant’s ‘accountant,’ there’s always something new to uncover. In these encounters, various text conversations open up, and if you ask the right questions, new branches of dialogue will be available. With each successful conversation, these family members will give you new recipes for use in the restaurant, and they will also accept your invitation to a family reunion – the main objective of Road to Guangdong.

These conversations can often contain walls of dialogue. It becomes laborious at times, especially when you’re going from one person to the next, but the messages of love and hope that you uncover make the time spent listening worth it. Outside of these interactions, you’ll spend a fair amount of time driving Sandy through various landscapes, from bright cities to the countryside. The visuals aren’t anything special, and much of the time it feels as though the environments are on a loop, offering the same kind of buildings and trees to look out. Times & Galaxy Switch NSP
