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!

Does Not Commute Review—Every Morning Commuter's Worst Nightmare
Reading Time: 2 mins 43 secs
Ever since my graduation, my world has changed. Yet, I am still a freelancer, now with a longer list of wants to ignore (CoughfulfilCough).
However, in the bigger picture, things—having some me time, the ability to have diversity every day in clients, the necessity of being stuck in crazy gridlocked traffic and flexibility in work schedule—remain essential. I can sneak out the door for a brilliant cuppa or head downtown for a lovely catch up session.

📖 🎮 Summary : drive around a narrow city, it is challanging to go fast but can be rewarding. you earn money by doing taxi service and you can buy new taxis later, the difficulty also increases.
👍 Pros : fun and fast, good optimization and portability. ads are very frequent but shory: 0s to 5s duration. graphics are image based which gives of indie game vibe.
👎 Cons : not much content. AI can spawn unpredictably (they seem to spawn only between intersections, so it is somewhat predictable). frequent ads. and map is a small so taxi ride durations are short.
