Florida Interstate '86

This game is really such a vibe. If you have fond memories of classics like Outrun or just enjoy those kinds of chill games that you can just boot up and enjoy without pressure or time commitments, then this is a good option. It's an endless driving game, but the vibe of driving off into a Miami sunset with some great synthwave is on point. It's not an overly complicated game and mostly you're playing just to beat your own score or see how far you can get, but it handles nicely, it looks great and the feeling of the game is 🔥😎

This is a competent infinite runner. I love the synth-pop soundtrack and I have mostly played this game as something to do while listening to it. The aesthetic is great at evoking a neon-drenched Miami Vice fantasy of Florida, and (in easy mode at least) dodging cars and picking spots to turbo creates a pretty chill flow state. I think the game is a little light on highway elements and it has a noticeably streaky distribution system that leads to really long patches with no pickups at all, along with other undesirable behaviors like bunching up multiple roadblocks. This makes playing for score pretty frustrating. The distribution seems pegged to the high-speed later portions of runs, which can lead to some frustratingly empty opening sections. My final negative here is a lack of interesting decisions: there are few meaningful branch points and the best powerup is totally random and streaky. Overall the OST probably pushes this into the positive column for me.
