Road Not Taken

Road Not Taken

PlayStation
Released

Release Date: August 5, 2014

Singleplayer

Unusual combination of classic roguelike production with elements of adventure and puzzle games. The game was developed by Spry Fox, an independent studio so far known mainly from social games. It was inspired by Robert Frost's poem of the same title. The action of the game takes place in mystical forest full of dangers and the player becomes a guard whose task is to find lost children.

SelectButton: 8 / 10 by Mike de Leon

Road Not Taken is a game that you should not take lightly. It is a challenging puzzle game with big cuddly scary teddy bears, little white rabbits and scary Witches. It is hours of fun and frustration. Thanks to the shrines, you are able to stop at any point and come back later to pick up where you left off.

PlayStation LifeStyle: 8 / 10 by Dyani Wood

Road Not Taken proved to be a very unique game for its genre, or genres actually. The interesting marriage of what could feel like a mobile title, with the punishing difficulty and creative narrative of a console indie makes Road Not Taken a great game to have in your PS4 library. Also, in the Book of Secrets, this is the note under goat says "Goats eat flowers and then poop. Why? Because they are goats. Stop trying to change the world," and how can you go wrong with that?

Push Square: 7 / 10 by Mat Growcott

As this is an indie title closely aligned with Sony's PlayStation Plus programme, Road Not Taken has its work cut out right from the very start of its arduous journey. Taken on its own merits, however, it offers an enjoyable ride for the five to ten hours that it lasts. Niggling performance issues aside, it's hard not to enjoy being the star of your very own fairy tale world – even if that fictional realm has a particularly odd approach to infant safety.
