Hitchhiker is a fantastically written interactive story and nothing more. No real gameplay, no puzzles or true enigmas as promised, but a breathtaking journey, an astonish casting and contemplative panoramas. Mad About Pandas' game could have been a narrative gem if it avoided some clumsiness regarding its story, its direction and its interactions. An amazing odyssey that hits it mark, but that isn't for everyone.

While playing as someone not in the driver’s seat is a novel idea, Hitchhiker struggles to create an enjoyable gameplay experience. While the story is engaging, the game’s technical issues, inconsistent puzzle difficulty, and overall monotonous gameplay makes this a better movie than a game. If you are looking for a game that has you playing a more interactive experience, you should steer clear from Hitchhiker.

The thing about this game is that it doesn’t sell itself based on its gameplay nor how anyone would ever want to play this game. Its biggest hook is that the game is all about the journey and discovery and that sense of escapism that most games usually don’t provide. It is an interesting game but it’s a game that I feel is not suited for everyone. But if you are just looking for a game to escape to. A game that will help you de-stress and just enjoy the visuals that it offers, then I would say this is a game that anyone should be interested in playing.

Hitchhiker can take you on a journey, but even it doesn’t seem too sure where it’s actually going.

Hitchhiker offers us a unique concept, a memorable story and plenty of creative surprises, captivating us from the beginning to the end credits. Strongly recommended to fans of artistic and experimental indies and deep narrative experiences.

Hitchhiker ultimately feels like an unengaging road trip you can steer clear of playing.
