Self-discovery on the road: Why so many upcoming games are taking us on road trips

Dustborn, Forever Ago, and Road 96: Why games are sending us on road trips in 2021 and beyond

A road stretches out in front of you for miles. You still have a long way to go, but getting to your destination isn't what's important right now. In this moment, you're moving forward, you're making your way, you're on a journey. There's always been something so romantic about the idea of going on a road trip. It allows you to step away from the everyday routine of life to see new places, meet new people, and broaden your horizons. It's a concept seldom explored in games, although it would appear that developers are eager to get us on the road and out exploring the world through 2021 and beyond.  

If we look at games like Dustorn, Forever Ago, and Road 96, it's clear that there's a growing trend of titles that want to pull us out of our comfort zones, get us behind the wheel, and begin traveling to destinations unknown. So just what is it that's so compelling about the idea of taking players on road trip adventures? We spoke to the developers behind these upcoming releases to find out.

Finding family  

From Deathloop to Returnal, how 2021 became the year of the video game time loop

"Who doesn't love a good road trip?" says Dustborn's narrative director, Ragnar Tørnquist. "Especially this past year, the idea of jumping in a car and just going somewhere – it doesn't even matter where – is incredibly appealing. You have a destination in mind, but how you get there and how long you decide to take, is up to you. That's incredibly liberating! And there's an added romance to the American road trip. There's honestly no better country for it. The wide-open skies and roads, the ever-changing landscape, an endless supply of fast-food restaurants…" 

The thought of hitting the open road really is more appealing than ever; it offers a sense of freedom that feels decidedly absent in recent times. In Dustborn, a third-person story-driven "road-tripping" adventure, you play Pax, an ex-con and outcast. Pax, who's four months pregnant, has to set out on the road across a divided America to get a package from California to Nova Scotia. Set in a vibrant, dystopian near-future in the year 2030, Pax is what's known as an "Anomal". That, as Tørnquist puts it, is someone who has "odd powers, shaped by what we call 'Vocals' – language infused with the power of disinformation." 

Tørnquist believes that the cross-country road trip is a genre "perfectly suited to games", and points to titles such as Final Fantasy 15 and Kentucky Route Zero as the few examples we've seen in recent years that play around with the idea. Tørnquist also highlights earlier games such as Sam & Max Hit the Road and The Oregon Trail, but when the team initially began developing the concept for Dustborn, they were struck by how few games explore this genre and trope. 

"Of course, since we began development on Dustborn, all of a sudden we're seeing many other road trip games in development – and that's honestly fantastic! I can't wait to see how other studios put their own spin on it," Tørnquist says. "As a narrative genre, the road trip is as wide open as the real thing: You're going from one place to the next, on the road you meet new people, see new places, and face new challenges – and your protagonists are shaped and changed by this journey. You could literally make a thousand road trip games, and they'd all be different."

With Pax trying to get away from a troubled past, Dustborn  takes you on a journey with two parallel paths – "the geographical and the emotional." Along the way, you'll be joined by other misfits who are all on a journey of self-discovery and have their own motivations. Together, you form a crew, and you'll be presented with the opportunity to get to know your road trip companions. As a group of outcasts, one of the most interesting aspects of Pax's adventure on the road is the way in which it explores the idea of a "found family", and how the vehicle the crew journeys in provides a space to find a sense of belonging.

"Our characters are all separated from their "real" families in one way or another; forcibly or voluntarily. All they have now is each other, and we explore the idea of the found family: that these people get to choose who to spend their time with and what their relationships are going to be like," Tørnquist explains. "Very early in the story, our crew acquires an old bus that serves as their rolling headquarters, and they get to make this space their own – with the player's help, of course: we'll be giving you some tools to customise that space. The bus becomes a visual and geographic representation of the relationships and the idea of the found family: from photos on the wall to seating arrangements." 

Moving on  

The idea that a character can be shaped as they travel is undeniably appealing. There's a unique multi-layered sense of progression that can be found in a game that takes place on the road – not just in the literal distance the characters put behind them, but in the personal growth they can gain from the experience. The idea of rooting the player in the emotional journey and development of the protagonist as they set out on the road is at the heart of the experience of Forever Ago – the debut title from small indie game studio, Third Shift. 

The studio is founded by best friends Fabian Denter and Kai Brueckers, who make up the two-person development team behind the upcoming road trip adventure. Following the story of Alfred, who sets out on a journey north in search of redemption after a tragic incident, Forever Ago will take you to a diverse range of places and introduce you to different people. 

"It's not only visually interesting to go from green forests to arid deserts to snow-capped mountains, but all these places are also home to diverse people, with their own views and problems," says Denter. "It's exciting to work out how these characters react to Alfred and vice versa, especially as Alfred himself changes a lot throughout the journey. He also doesn't only encounter other people: At some point, he'll meet a stray dog who will eventually accompany him on the road. This gives us many opportunities to verbalize Alfred's inner thoughts as it turns out people tend to get very talkative around their animal friends!" 

As well as seeing character growth in the way Aflred interacts with the people he meets and the places he visits, the journey itself also gives him the space to be introspective. Forever Ago is a linear experience overall, and as Alfred hits the road, there are points where he gets lost in thought as he drives. "There are sections in the game that are explicitly there for Alfred to reflect on what has happened in the past, but also what may be to come. During these scenes, we try to convey the feeling that when, during a long car ride, the actual driving is only subconscious and automatic, and you sink into your thoughts at the same time," says Denter. 

Driving to freedom  

"I think road trip games will be a true genre like it is in cinema. This is an immense playground to explore." Yoan Fanise, Road 96 creative director

Road 96 from developer Digixart is going in a different direction with a road trip adventure that's procedurally generated. As you set out on the road, you'll never quite know what will happen to you next. Creative director Yoan Fanise, who previously worked on games such as Valiant Hearts and 11-11 Memories Retold, says Road 96 has a "weird mix of Roguelike, Telltale, and Life Is Strange features that make it a unique experience for each player. There are a lot of things people won't see at all and we never know what's gonna happen to you… No one's road will be the same."

The liberating feeling of departing from everyday life and going on a journey to places unknown is part of the appeal of road trips, and that idea is taken a step further in Road 96.  Set in the fictional authoritarian nation of Patria in the summer of 1996, you head out on the road and make your way to the border in order to quite literally regain your freedom from an oppressive rule. "We needed to create our own dystopian country to fulfill the need for freedom, a visceral need," Fanise says of the setting. "When your freedom is taken away, then you can feel the immense joy of regaining it." 

Playing as a teenager in the ever-evolving adventure, you'll encounter many different characters, uncover stories and secrets, and be presented with many different choices as you try to escape from the regime. As the game does have an element of the roguelike genre thanks to its procedural generation, no one adventure will be the same, and you'll never know how your journey will end. You might regain your freedom, or you might hit a bump in the road. Each decision you make will alter your journey, and could even affect those you meet. 

Road 96 looks set to open up the path to many different possibilities, which is partly what drew Digixart to the idea of creating a road trip adventure. "When you embark on a big road trip, your brain acts differently. You're forced to embrace the unknown, forced to let go. That sensation of being totally out of your comfort zone is precisely what makes it [road trips] interesting and emotional. By traveling alone, you hope to know yourself better by those you will meet and how you will react in different situations. This is a golden canvas for us storytellers to imagine crazy situations," says Fanise. 

Dustborn, Forever Ago, and Road 96 are just a small selection of upcoming indie games that are set to take us on the road in the future, but the very fact that each one is set to offer a distinctly different experience just goes to show how diverse this concept can be. From exploring character development to the bonds we form on the road, and the freeing nature of traveling away from our everyday lives, there's so much scope for creativity, and it's something Fanise believes will find its way into more games in the future: "I think road trip games will be a true genre like it is in cinema. This is an immense playground to explore." 

Road 96 is set to release on PC and Switch summer 2021, Dustborn will be coming soon to PC and next gen consoles, and Forever Ago is also coming soon to PC. 

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.

After back-to-back losses, the New York Liberty returned to Barclays Center intent on proving their mettle. It wasn’t easy—well, maybe the 104–68 romp over the Indiana Fever was not quite as hard—but by the time the team headed out for a three-game road trip, the Liberty were solidly back in a winning state of mind.

Let’s talk about that winning streak. First, came a tough tangle with the Phoenix Mercury on May 29, from which the Liberty emerged with an 81–78 victory. Let’s just say Diana Taurasi is intent on making the U.S. Olympic team and achieving a historic sixth gold medal and she’s proving her skills this WNBA season. Then came a 90–79 win over the Washington Mystics. For that game, the Liberty were without Courtney Vandersloot, who was nursing a sore back. It was the first Liberty start for forward Kayla Thornton, who came up big with 20 points.

“My coaches had me work on things when I went overseas,” said Thornton after the 20-point game. “I did that, brought it back and incorporated it with our system. Just being confident.”

On Sunday, the Liberty took on the Fever in the team’s first Commissioner’s Cup game of the season. Vandersloot returned to the lineup, contributing nine points and seven assists. The game marked 2,000 career points for Betnijah Laney-Hamilton. Liberty newbie Kennedy Burke—who previously played with the Fever, Seattle Storm and Washington Mystics as well as overseas—had 10 points, three steals and three blocks.

“As I prepare, just knowing where my spots are and getting there,” said Laney-Hamilton following Sunday’s win. “Continuing to stay ready for the moment and making the most out of my opportunity.”

Jonquel Jones continues to have a good season. She had a double-double in the Liberty’s win over the Fever, with 18 points and 13 rebounds. “When I have the ball, I pride myself on making the right plays and doing whatever is best for the team,” said Jones.

“When we’re playing great defense and pushing in transition, that looks great for us,” said Liberty coach Sandy Brondello. “We continue to work on the spacing. … When we’re sharing it and playing selflessly, that’s beautiful basketball.”

The Liberty take on the Atlanta Dream tonight and the Connecticut Sun on Saturday before returning home to face the Washington Mystics at Barclays Center on Sunday afternoon.

Red Sox Show NBA Finals Support With Celtics-Themed Road Trip

The boston green sox.

The Celtics will take the floor for Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Thursday and can take some solace knowing they’ve got support from around town.

Boston is all about the Banner 18.

The Red Sox showed their support Wednesday, as a majority of players rocked Celtics gear as they departed for a four-game road trip against the Chicago White Sox. Jarren Duran (and his biceps), Brennan Bernardino, Tyler O’Neill (and his biceps) and Tanner Houck all got in on the action, with the roadie also serving as a family trip.

Kenley Jansen, a lifelong Los Angeles Lakers fan, decided not to participate, though he did give the Larry O’Brien Trophy some love when it visited Fenway Park on Wednesday morning.

It’s just one of many ways the local teams will support the C’s over the coming few weeks.

The Patriots and Bruins notoriously have been present at NBA Finals games over the years, so you can bet a few will pop up Thursday night at TD Garden. The Red Sox, if things work out the way everyone hopes, could host the Celtics at some point next month to celebrate Banner 18

16 Road Trip Games for Adults That Are Actually Fun

T he summer season is one of the very best for traveling across the country or taking an epic West Coast road trip . But after a few hours of blasting your passenger's favorite playlist, cruising with the windows down or indulging in some homemade road trip snacks , boredom will inevitably kick in.

Here's what to do when you can't take another hour in the car!

20 Questions

Long road trips are a perfect time to find out how well you actually know your road trip passengers. During this game of 20 Questions, one of the players must choose a fellow passenger (or a celebrity!) without revealing their identity. The other players can only ask up to 20 questions to figure out who the secret person is. The questions can range from easy to obscure, like what their favorite frozen summer treat is.

In this road trip game that's catered toward more creative personalities, passengers can kill time by making up their very own story. One person starts off by saying a word that begins a story, and the rest of the group must take turns tacking on just one more word to complete the sentences. It's hilarious to see how the story ends!

Name the Song

Chances are, music buffs will have their favorite old-school songs blasting during road trips. To play Name the Song, one passenger has to simply say a song lyric aloud while the others have to try and guess what song it is. In another version of the game, one passenger can play just a snippet of a song—and the rest of the group is left to figure out what song it is, and which artist sings it.

Going on a Picnic

If you have a bad memory, you probably won't do so well during a round of Going on a Picnic. The first person must begin the game by saying the phrase, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing..." Then, they end the sentence by stating what delicious food item they'll be packing in their metaphorical picnic basket . The following players must re-state the entire phrase, remembering which item the person before them is bringing and adding something else to go along with it. Whoever gets it wrong must sit out the next round.

The License Plate Game

The License Plate Game is a true road trip classic—and it's really great for those who are traveling across the country. All players must write down every license plate they see from a different state on a piece of paper, and the person that has the most at the end of the car ride wins. Crank the game up a notch by awarding extra points to the players who can name the capital city of that state, or the most iconic food that a state is known for . If the driver wants to join in, create a collective list.

Take a trip down memory lane with this nostalgic road trip game. Alternating throughout the game, one player must give a clue—usually a simple physical description, like the color of an item—of something that they see out the car window while driving. The other players have to guess what it is that they're talking about, whether it's a popular fast food sign or a tree you're passing.

Would You Rather?

This is one of the best road trip games for adults. Friends, couples and siblings alike will probably end up laughing (or cringing) at some point during a game of Would You Rather. Players must break off into pairs, then take turns asking each other which of two scenarios they would prefer to pursue. You can opt for something like two dramatic life-or-death situations, or ask your fellow passenger to choose between two equally strange foods.

Road Trip Trivia

Each state that you drive through has some pretty deep history. Designate a person as the "host" during a round of Road Trip Trivia, and have them ask the passengers in the car specific questions that pertain to the state or city you're all traveling through.

Before you embark on a road trip, DIY your very own bingo boards. Fill each grid with makes and models of vehicles you'll most likely pass during your trip. At the beginning of the ride, hand out the bingo boards—along with a pen or pencil. Whoever gets bingo first, wins!

Guess the Time

When you've eaten all of the road trip snacks you packed and have slept until there's no way it's possible for you to be tired, take turns guessing the time you'll arrive at your final destination. Whoever guessed the right time (or the closest to it), is the winner.

The Movie Game

The first player begins this game by naming an actor, and the next player has to think of a movie the actor has been in— bonus points if the movie is about food ! The next player must think of another actor who has been in that same movie, and the subsequent player has to state a new movie that actor has been in. Keep playing until someone can't think of an actor or movie, then start again.

The Alphabet Game

In this simple but fun game, car passengers have to take turns finding a billboard or sign that has each letter of the alphabet. Just wait until you get to X, Y and Z!

The Hot Seat

Have you ever wanted to grill one of your fellow passengers but never got the opportunity to do so? In the game of The Hot Seat, each passenger has to take a turn being asked five questions that they normally would never want to answer out loud.

Never Have I Ever

Never Have I Ever is played exactly as it sounds. The passengers who choose to play a round of this game have to hold up five fingers. One person starts by saying a phrase that they've never done, and the rest of the players must either keep their fingers up, or put one finger down if they have done it. The first person to make a fist is out.

The Rhyming Game

To play The Rhyming Game, one player has to choose a word, and the other players must take turns stating a word that rhymes with it. You can also make this even more challenging by using categories, like Italian food terms . If someone can't think of a rhyming word or repeats a word, they're out.

The Quiet Game

Even though it might sound like the easiest, The Quiet Game will challenge the most chatty passengers in the car—whether they're children or adults. The driver must decide a certain time frame, and the rest of the passengers have to remain silent. Whoever speaks or laughs first loses!

Dallas Wings lose third straight game while Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson makes WNBA history

It was the third consecutive loss for the Wings following a five-game road trip, and their first meeting with the two-time defending league champions since their playoff loss in September.

By Sophia Vesely

10:26 PM on Jun 5, 2024 CDT

The Dallas Wings sought redemption Wednesday for the sweep by the Las Vegas Aces that ended their playoff run last season, but they didn’t find it.

Instead, one of their opponents made WNBA history in Dallas’ 95-81 loss in front of a sold-out crowd at College Park Center, where A’ja Wilson became the first WNBA player with at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and five steals in game.

Wilson started the scoring in the first quarter with a layup and never looked back, tallying 14 points to help her team build a 29-16 lead. She finished with 36 points, 14 rebounds and six steals.

“One thing Vegas does a really good job of is pulling you out defensively, really spacing the floor,” Wings head coach Latricia Trammell said after the game. “They have a lot of guards that can get downhill efficiently, and it puts defenses in rotation.”

Dallas narrowed the deficit in the second quarter, 47-42, with star Arike Ogunbowale breaking away with 14 points of her own. Teaira McCowan played stellar defense with three rebounds and two blocks to help hold Wilson to just six points.

The Wings kept the game close for the majority of the third quarter, trailing the Aces 68-61 with 1:20 remaining, but a driving layup and a 3-pointer from Kelsey Plum, followed by a Wilson jump shot with four seconds left, opened up a 13-point lead.

“I think we just kind of let our guard down,” Ogunbowale said of the last minute of the third quarter. “We cut it to three, and we kind of relaxed a little bit, so we just have to keep that intensity up.”

Trammell said her team let the Aces have too many additional chances to score.

“We gave them extra opportunities,” she said. “We talked about this, too, defensively, just having mishaps in our rotations.”

The Aces put the game away in the fourth quarter, leading by as many as 19.

Ogunbowale led Dallas with 31 points, while McCowan made her first career 3-pointer in the first half and finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Maddy Siegrist also scored 14 points and Monique Billings added 12.

“She’s a great player, a two-time MVP,” Ogunbowale said of Wilson. “You can only try to limit her. You cannot really stop her. That’s how good of a player she is. It takes team defense against a player like that, but she did great.”

The Wings lost their second game in the Commissioner’s Cup, the WNBA’s in-season tournament, dropping to last in the Western standings.

“We had a lot of open shots,” Trammell said. “We just missed them. Arike and I were talking about that coming in, but a lot of things to build on. A lot of positives.”

Dallas goes on the road again for its next game in the Cup, facing the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday at Crypto.com Arena.
