Movies Games and TechBryan ApplegateMar 20219/10Road to Guangdong is a decent game IF you’re just driving around listening to the music. Getting the parts needed to get the car running, and keep it running is where the game falls just short. Decent enough to warrant a buy, for sure.

TheSixthAxisAlan WenAug 20207/10If you're looking for a sophisticated car sim, you won't find it in Road to Guangdong. What will keep you going over its short duration however is a wonderfully authentic exploration of Chinese/Cantonese culture through two very universal subjects: family and food.

Hey Poor PlayerHeather Johnson YuAug 20204/5Road to Guangdong is a brilliant narrative about the importance of communicating with one’s family wrapped up in a road trip simulator.

GameSpotChan Khee HoonSep 20202/10The frequent lulls of its road trip, coupled with a monotonous roster of characters, means this driving sim should be left in the dust.

Cubed3Albert LichiSep 20203/10Road to Guangdong can be commended for its unique concept and colourful imagery, but that is all it has. The mundane feel of the story is part of the appeal, as is the relaxing vibe, but there is no substance or discovery to be had, since there is no agency or wrong path. Driving is barely deeper than driving in one direction. Keeping the line under the red bar, and just selling whatever that can found is as engaging as picking out maggots from a heap of rice. The original OutRun is over 30 years old now, and yet manages to have more going on when driving.
