    came out of retirement to say this game is a disappointment in more ways than one compared to the original. Its boring, linear, and corny. It is a 6 game at the highest, even at low price, not worth it.

    This review covers the PS5 version of the game, and it’s worth noting that the framerate didn’t feel entirely smooth. This is of course not super important for an adventure game, but the style of the game paired with the power of the PS5 should have resulted in a smoother experience, which leads me to believe the issue is down to optimization. The strange storybook-style pop-in that appeared in the original Road 96 is also present in Mile 0, though it is less significant.    … Expand

    I really liked the original Road 96, its strangeness, interestingness, mystery, and at the same time touching moments and vivid characters, including a good soundtrack. The same part is a prequel, shorter than the original, having slightly different mechanics but the same core.
    There was also a section with springboards that are stylistically cool but the gameplay is very lazy and    I really liked the original Road 96, its strangeness, interestingness, mystery, and at the same time touching moments and vivid characters, including a good soundtrack.

    There was also a section with springboards that are stylistically cool but the gameplay is very lazy and standard. And so I still liked this game, the big thing is that it was in the original Road 96, and these are characters, music, good imagination of the developers.    … Expand

    Short but intense, Road 96: Mile 0 offers a joyful, inventive, and memorable experience of a quality that some games several times the price can only dream of. [Issue#28, p.93]

    Mile 0 is the prequel to Road 96, a highly valued indie game. Sadly, this prequel cannot live up to the expectations. The choose your adventure mechanic doesn't work if the final result is already known, the game is short and marred with technical errors. Also, the game seems designed for mouse and keyboard with controller support added as an afterthought. Sadly, we cannot recommend this game in its current form.

    Mile 0 not only fails to improve on Road 96, but also fails to meet the same standards, and if you are not already in love with Road 96's world, you are better off skipping Mile 0 and spending your time and money elsewhere.
