WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Heading Out combines genres and styles which might sound incompatible at first glance, but did so in a very interesting manner, resulting in a truly unique roguelike experience. I, for one, really liked the presentation as well, with its slick visuals and soundtrack. It’s not entirely perfect, as the driving could have been more polished, and the pop-in glitches really took me out of the experience at times. That being said, it’s a game unlike any other out there, which wlll definitely keep you engaged through a good few runs."
NoobFeed editor JW Kotze writes - Heading Out offers a profound journey that transcends mere entertainment, leaving players with an indelible mark on their psyche. While not without its flaws, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses, making it a must-play for fans of narrative-driven gaming experiences.
Amaar writes: "I've been playing Heading Out recently, and it's blown me away with its visuals and storytelling. I recommend you try it too."
This new narrative roadtripping roguelike doesn't quite get to its intended destination.
