    All in all, the game feels like a tourist trap rather than a destination.

    When Wheels of Aurelia pretends to be a driving game, it’s an unwitting parody with awful collision detection. When it tries to be an adventure game, the choices it offers are too limited and shallow to be meaningful. [13/2016, p.65]

    The original road trip is crippled with its half-baked design. Atmosphere of the time period is lovely, experience wrapped in it is rather annoying though.

    I love being exposed to new places and histories, but the distancing of Aurelia’s structure had me looking for a way to get closer; that brush with the familiar pulled me right in for a moment and I wanted more of the same.

    got the game for free ( thank **** god ) it broke the record of fastest game to become so obnoxious with pretentiousness i stop playing it (got the game for free ( thank **** god ) it broke the record of fastest game to become so obnoxious with pretentiousness i stop playing it ( ten 15 minutes or about 10 lines of dialogue ).
    theres virtually no gameplay ( yes i know i played 15 minutes but i've seen tiger electronics game with more in depth playability than this )
    it IMMEDIATELY becomes political without even acknowledge ANYTHING , who are we? where are we? why are we doing what we doing? doesn't matter art need to be controversial so here is a bunch of half assed comment about the history of inequality in italy in the 70s.
    WHAT ?
    there seem to be a idea floating around some peoples head, that " if you can draw , at least the most basic of things especially with pretty colors or artstyle that seem to be popular " YOU SHOULD MAKE A GAME.
    please stop this , the last 15 minutes where some of the worse wasted minutes of my life.
    worse than creating an account here and writing this review.    … Full Review »

    Game is bad. There is no penalty for reckless driving or hitting stuff in a game about driving. Try to turn 180 degrees and turn on Eurobeat.Game is bad. There is no penalty for reckless driving or hitting stuff in a game about driving. Try to turn 180 degrees and turn on Eurobeat. Dialogs options are slow and cant be put in faster. Overall its a story that never tried to get me and a game that deserves 1/5. Original artwork is all this game has.… Full Review »

    A great idea, not so well applied.
    Im sad, because i loved the aesthetic, and setting... But the dialogues are just too forceful, not genuine    A great idea, not so well applied.
    Im sad, because i loved the aesthetic, and setting... But the dialogues are just too forceful, not genuine ones.
    Like, they are all the time talking about historical events in a not natural manner, while no one ever talks like this.
    The characters are not well built and not so good.
    Still, i really appreciate the efforts of the devs in this game, i wish to see more italian games!    … Full Review »
