Heading Out is one of the most bizarre genre mixes ever encountered. The racing element is fun, the comic-style narrative engaging, the graphic design simply fantastic, the road trip aspects immersive, the radio broadcasts natural and bold, the pervasive threat suitably unsettling, and the desire to figure out what’s going on is immense. It's a strange game, but it works, it's enjoyable, and it's refreshing to see someone unafraid to experiment. This time, the gamble paid off.

If you go into Heading Out expecting a driving game, you’re probably going to be sorely disappointed. It’s something entirely different from that – and, improbably (given the different genres being thrown together), it works incredibly well.

On the streets of Heading Out, there is some confusion. Serious Sim's game tries to combine racing and storytelling through some micro-management mechanics, but the balance between the parts does not hold for the entire game, and every now and then the narrative path seems inexorably shaped by the availability of resources. Heading Out, however, shows his best to eyes and ears, as the gray roads of North America flow beneath the wheels and the cassette tape in the stereo blasts a perfect travel soundtrack into the speakers.
