At E3 2019 a few months ago, TechRaptor Video Lead Nick Maillet chose No Straight Roads as one of our 10 Best of E3 2019 awards, citing at as "one of those few independent games that has that perfect blend to keep gamers engaged and tapping their foot along."

Quick Take
It's good to see that Epic has scooped up some indie developers. It's a hard industry to get into, and Epic assures that developers get the funding and resources they need to not just deliver a good game, but to continue in the industry. I know people dislike Epic for the very reason of exclusivity, but it truly does help good developers survive and thrive.Are you interested in playing any of these games?
