Verdict (★★★★★★★★☆☆)
Does Not Commute does appear to be a strategic driving game that proves to be a good choice to sink hours into. As good as the game is, it still comes with some flaws and straddles that balance between challenge and frustration.
Even so, the game leaves you with a feeling of playing a well-polished game dripping with character and a great sense of humour. I mean, not only does it look great, but it sounds and plays great as well! If you’re into games of reaction, plotting and time-bending, this might be right up your alley!
