Pacific Drive

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

I really wanted to like this game and did some aspects, but the mid-late game progression and dichotomy of really easy gameplay and very grindy resource costs loses me. It barely falls short for me. Good: - world, atmosphere, early game gameplay and progression, art direction, voice acting, concept. Meh: - characters, story, writing. Bad: - mid-late game progression, easy difficulty, game balance in terms of resources. I think this game builds a really interesting world and atmosphere, the idea of connecting to and repairing/upgrading your car as you progress is really cool, and the quirk system ties in well to that. The story is pretty cookie cutter for me, 'we gotta charge up the beep-boops to stabilize the glibbidy-glorp, oh no X character you've never met, don't unnecessarily sacrifice your life!!! we gotta keep going despite X's death' etc etc. My biggest complaints by far are gameplay progression and balance and tedium associated. Why, do I need, 10000 marsh eggs for everything. Why do I need eggs for a blowtorch. Tf. I will have 1 billion plastic and steel sheets, but never enough chemicals, or plasma, or eggs, etc. And it becomes grindy and formulaic, okay now I need to just hit this lab for the 100th time to get 2 chemicals yayyy!! Oh what's that, you didn't know you needed a higher tier hammer for the last resource? Oh well guess you'll have to do another 5+ junction run! Teehee! And in terms of anchor energy, I am permanently scarce of stable anchor energy when I have an excess of corrupted with no way to exchange them. The scarcity makes sense in the early game, but if I have to pick and choose between experimenting with a car mod or being able to store my loot there's not question on what I'm doing. There's no reason for me to engage with and experiment with the arguably most interesting car mods, because everything is so damn expensive and there's no way to get enough of an 'early' game energy even though I am 'late' game. And those fun parts will probably just drain my entire battery and leave me stranded (except for nitrous that ♥♥♥♥ is busted) which leads me to car part balance- Most of the car upgrades are unnecessary (why would I waste a whole seat slot on auto-parking) or just bad (rip AMP engine), I easily beat the game with mostly armored parts, it felt unsatisfying to go back and craft olympium parts after I had already beaten the game and there was no more to do. A lot of the fancy upgrades just drain your battery like crazy, why would I use the fuel synthesizer when I could just add a ♥♥♥♥ ton more fuel storage and scavenge some gas. The battery regeneration parts don't do enough to justify the crazier parts, I really wanted the electric car build to work but it felt awful. I feel by the end I should feel like I've 'conquered' the zone, and should feel powerful and self-sufficient, but it didn't feel that way for me. At odds with this feeling in terms of progression and resource management, was the actual gameplay- The game is too easy, its just a casual and relaxing drive, even in the deep zone. The only times I died or was in any danger was because I forgot to pack something essential or had a series of very unfortunate events. There needs to be a couple anomalies that pose a more active threat imo, even in unstable areas it just boils down to beeline between anchors, stopping to grab every key resource I need on the way, drive around every anomaly. It felt very casual, I wished they would lean more into this horror and unknown aspect because the atmosphere they built was very good. If you want a casual experience I think this game may be more for you. I think the creepiness/horror and mystery of the world and the atmosphere they built for it were more compelling and wished they had went more in that direction. Cryptids are supposed to be scary no? If you're like me, I'd recommend Dredge for something similar but much better executed imo.

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.

说实话不推荐，材料的需求太大了，并且当你做到A1地图任务的时候不去中间刷奥林匹斯碎片材料，那你后期就更难获得了，还有哪个沼泽蛋，需求量巨大全地图还没几个刷新点一次才200个大概，但是你需求量都得几千个反复重复的刷真的很烦。

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.

cool game, unique, relaxing. Driving, improving car and garage, repairing car and trying to survive
