VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Mad About Pandas had a unique dilemma to tackle: keeping players in the limelight while they're always in the passenger seat. It's a neat concept that earns some of my respect. But the closest example I kept falling back to was Virginia – another narrative adventure I can't recommend. Both have this annoying commitment to deliberate opaqueness as a way to fool themselves into thinking they're deep. And the half-hearted positives I can give to a couple of mechanics are dwarfed by otherwise menial interactions everywhere else. Hitchhiker ultimately feels like an unengaging road trip you can steer clear of playing."
Hitchhiker can take you on a journey, but even it doesn’t seem too sure where it’s actually going.
