An emergency has cause you to have to travel across the country to reunite your family and save the family business. Youve inherited the family resturaunt and must learn all ypu can from your family to restore it to its former glory. The game is pretty Zen, as most of what you do is admire the scenery and story. Along the way you will have to take care of your worn out old car, to keep it moving. Filling the gas and replacing parts to keep the jalpoy moving gives you something to do as you freckled across China. The art style is simple yet beautiful, though they feel a tiny bit dated. The heart poured into the story shines over everything else. The way the author captured the Chinese/Cantonese culture and family values was heartwarming. The game delivers exaclty what it set out to yeild, a relaxing and contemplative experience. I feel that some of the dialogue could have used more fleshing, but what was done was delightful. Not the longest of games, but the time spent enjoying the scenery, and cultural immersion was spectacular. Road to Guangdong is a great story and relaxing experience, great for those looking for a calming time killer and good story.… Expand

    Road 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.

    Whilst Road to Guangdong does suffer from various gameplay issues and a laborious process of managing the upkeep of your car, its story is engaging and uplifting.

    Road to Guangdong is an interesting experiment in the very niche road trip simulator category that's ultimately worth a look because of its bold form of storytelling and interesting, captivating characters. The fact that its flaws are so persistently visible throughout most of it means that it won't be a game for everyone, but for someone looking for a unique, imperfect experience, this might be just the game they're looking for. Still, in another world where different developmental choices were made, Road to Guangdong could have been the indie masterpiece it's so often striving to be.
