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.

I bought this a while ago because I expected a heroic tale, akin to old games in that fashion. what I got it having it pointed out that there are men that have intercourse with other men. .. I see....

also, you do not get a happy end. no matter what you do, it ends badly. so why on earth should I play this?

it's filled with modern day-isms and politics not belonging in fantasy. you can guess which words that start with w apply here.

it's dreary and bleak. just like the people who think they can find solace in getting certain operations. I feel for them, but this ain't a solution. neither is indulging in and wallowing in negativity as this game entices you to do

This is a hidden gem I hope heralds many more such games. The story is beautiful and haunting, your choices have immense depth and unexpected consequences, and the characters you meet feel like they actually live in this terrible world you find yourself in. There are no heroes, but maybe you can one person's life a little easier, to push back the seemingly inevitable entropy, if only for a little while.

You'll have to manage not to starve to death first.

Quick tip - this is heavily "old style" RPG of ye olden days, so have a notepad handy and take good notes.
