    As an overall package “Dustborn” is an absolute delight. Believable and lovable characters are combined with an intriguing story and a wild mix of gameplay variation. While the combat is mediocre and gets stale quick, the variety of little vignettes is outstanding. The voice acting is stellar and the music might be more Pop-Punk than Punk-Rock which doesn’t make it any less awesome.

    Dustborn has a lot going for it. There’s a great story that goes down many different pathways, all while meeting a ton of interesting and diverse characters along the way.

    Combining dialogue-driven drama, a sprinkling of humour, interesting well-written characters, combat with a baseball bat, and a variety of other distractions, Dustborn emerges as a compelling and memorable schlep across America.

    Setting off on a journey with Pax and all her gang was undoubtedly a superb adventure thanks to a good-looking artistic direction with a perfectly transcribed comic book theme and a gameplay that knows how to renew itself. The experience was fun and entertaining, with colourful, engaging characters with strong personalities. Thanks to a touching story that sometimes dabbles with difficult themes, the title remains captivating throughout the chapters, despite moments that drag on a little and combat phases that are enjoyable at first, but quickly become repetitive. The experience is marred by a few bugs that sometimes require you to restart the game, but there is nothing blocking it or that a patch cannot fix. Dustborn is indubitably a title not to be missed if you like narrative games with a story dealing with strong, committed topics, original gameplay, an alternative punk rock vibe and, of course, comic books.
