I played Roadwarden once and gave up on it, barely paying attention to the story. The second time.... I moved, had no internet and it was the only game I had downloaded on my pc that didnt require internet. I really took the time to read and engage with it, and that’s when the game’s brilliance revealed itself. I couldn’t put it down (even after my internet was restored). The dark, gritty fantasy world is filled with impactful choices and decisions that shape the story in fascinating ways, including multiple endings. The writing is gripping and atmospheric, with a haunting quality that draws you in. The world and story felt refreshingly original, making Roadwarden a must-play for anyone who loves deep, immersive narratives. If you give Roadwarden the patience it deserves, you will be rewarded with and outstanding game.

Roadwarden is without a doubt one of the best story-driven fantasy games I've played in years. Fans of The Witcher, the Farseer Trilogy, LotR, Earthsea, and many other classic fantasy novels will all find something to enjoy here.

One of the few games that scratches my pesky "Disco Itch", ever since finishing Disco Elysium I've been looking for games that nail that same vibe, that feeling of being in a world bigger than yourself, bigger than the game shows you, a world you seamlessly fit in and play your dedicated role in. Only Kentucky Route Zero and Outer Wilds were able to satisfy this particular craving and now Roadwarden joins those games. It will not be for everyone, there is A LOT of reading and very little visual stimulation besides the beautiful pixel art, however, that is the point, in my opinion. This game is so incredibly well written that I preferred not having detailed illustrations of the characters and their surroundings, since now I was able to imagine it all in my own head due to the stellar writing and environmental descriptions. I finished this game today and it leaves a big hole. My head is still reeling with the dense lore, people I helped, people I hurt and the countless loose ends I didn't manage to wrap up in my first playthrough. I will take a short break to gather my thoughts, and then get back on the road for a second playthrough. I can't recommend it enough, one of the best fantasy experiences out there right now. I pray for a Roadwarden 2 (I will bleed myself in front of the Beholder in exchange for a second game, Moral Anxiety Studio!)

My first steam game. I was a pc gamer way back in the early 90s up to 1999 and love text games. So for me this is a joy to play & takes me back. If you like text base games give this a go it has quite a bit of replay to it as well. If you don't like to read then this game is not for you. PS. Thank you for reading my review 8/10

It's like a medieval low-fantasy rural cop simulator where you have to make the people of the region realize that you are indeed built different compared to the last Roadwarden.
