Pacific Drive

I wanted to like it, but everything is a chore. Pretty cool you get to put cult flags on your window though.

Confusing game play, not engaging, has 50 different pride flags, Its woke filth. Could have been very cool. Wish I could refund.

no option to disable vibration. Anytime you're accelerating/R2 it's vibrating every single second. What the actual ♥♥♥♥? This is unplayable.

The gameplay and story is good. Lost me when after unlocking the detailing station , the devs gave a bunch of alphabet pride decals. I dont want real life politics in my games.

The atmosphere is great, but the rest of the game is as shallow as a puddle on a hot summer day. I really, desperately wished the game would redeem even one of my expectations, but it doesn't. The world starts feeling empty and boring after just a couple hours, the gameplay loop is incredibly boring and repetitive, and getting the upgrades for your car is frustratingly grindy. And they are selling DLC on top of that. Shame on you! At least offer us a proper base game before that.

I really wanted to like Pacific Drive, but it turned out to be an absolute snooze fest.First of all, the story is incredibly boring. I expected an engaging sci-fi mystery, but instead, I got a completely flat narrative. The character interactions make it even worse. You are stuck listening to endless, dry, and uninspiring dialogue over the radio. Every time Tobias, Francis, or Opy started talking, I found myself zoning out. There is zero chemistry, and the game gives you no reason to care about them or the Zone.The gameplay loop is just as frustrating. It is not an exciting survival adventure; it is a tedious simulator of manual labor. The game forces you into constant, repetitive micromanagement that completely ruins the pacing. You spend 80% of your time managing menus, sorting trash in your garage, and dealing with exhausting micromanagement.Having to constantly fix flat tires, scrap junk, and micromanage every single car part feels like a second job, not entertainment. What could have been an atmospheric road trip is ruined by awful pacing, a dull plot, and mechanics that respect neither your time nor your patience.
