Pacific Drive

the quirk system is tricky to get but good game

Its a really cool game, playing it moment to moment learning how to travers the olimpic peninsula and deal with the diverse "entities" what equipement to bring, building a collection of gadgets and equipement ,fun and moody. Having said that, the ending is really a turn off, its not that is like greviously bad, its just, like, the game just ends, you have a little 5 minute sequence you chose when to do and it ends, after a pretty lengthy game it felt like a cold bucket of water, welp that was that i guess the game just ended. I am just rambling oh my god, but yeah that was about what may very well be my only real criticism of the game, if you feel like it induce a little bit of interest in you, give it a go its a really cool game.

Damn. Driving, survival-crafting, 90s SCP, stranger-things-esque, and PNW love. Might be my top game for the year so far. I didnt play it when it first came out because $$, but now that I have, this game is *great*. Can't even believe how COOL this game is. Like *suave* and *hip* "cool". Surprisingly, not as graphically intensive as I thought it was going to be, but still incredibly gorgeous, and really captures that PNW nature love. Also, the sound design for this game is lowkey unhinged. Whoever did it is a huuuuge audiophile. Bravo. For anybody playing it, dont think about it, but if you made it or care about this sort of stuff, they obviously put a lot of consideration and love and effort in. I should've guessed whatsup when the Wwise splash popped up. Anyway, if you like GTA driving or SnowRunner driving, and radio-sims and supernatural quirkiness, and you're some kind of queer or an ally, then this game is for you. Solid A+ Max price: $30 USD - value and rating would both be MUCH higher, but they didnt figure out how to capture the same magic and vibe while multiplayer/co-op. And while it's great on its own, my heart still craves this quality game, but with multiplayer (not friendslop!) engineered in addition. It would be a mighty challenge to put multiplayer in this game, but if one could do it and not ruin the vibe or the game, it would be incredible.

Невероятно скучно

This game is definitely worth playing, though it is very sweaty. Very anxiety. My first run I think I did something wrong, and ran out of resources, but it's definitely worth a second and a third playthrough. Beautiful, creepy, sciencey game.

Pacific Drive is a game revolving around the voiceless player character getting dragged (literally) into an old research zone full of anomalies, with nothing but their wits and an old car to protect them. The gameplay is simple and admittedly can sometimes feel repetitive, but that isn't necessarily a weakpoint. Resource gathering from different zones, that can then be crafted into equipment, tools and improvements for the car, player character and garage. A big and very well thought out part of the game is the car customisation. Every car part can be replaced except the main chassis, down to the wheels, bumpers and headlights and even the engine, and can be customized both in function as well as in visuals. The encountered anomalies are diverse and truly feel like strange research results, instead of exclusively being scary, and the zones we get our resources from are rather simply designed, but make it easy to find your way and have just enough variance to not feel repetitive quickly. The story and its ending is perhaps the weakest component, consisting of mostly radio-ed dialogue and a few readable documents, but it is entirely optional, leaves the pacing entirely up to the player and after it ends, the game seamlessly goes into endless mode. 7/10, recommended especially on sale.

great game, great mechanics! Maybe this mechanic can be utilized in other games
