I really wanted to like this game. A roadtrip through 70s Italy, picking up hitchhikers, chatting with strangers, and seeing where life takes you is such a strong pitch for a game. But when I tried to play it, it all felt a little too messy. The conversations had an odd flow to them and constantly interrupted each other as every person in your car wanted to talk to you but when you spoke to one the others had to quietly sit and wait there turn. Some of the conversations were actually pretty good, some were interesting ideas that lacked execution. Probably the game's biggest issue was how bad the driving felt. You can leave it to auto-drive the whole time (which I did as much as possible) but getting prompted to do races with people or tailing missions meant having to manually drive which felt miserable and oftentimes it wasn't even clear which other car on the road I was following or racing. The good parts of this game just weren't worth the frustration of the bad bits.
