Pacific Drive

Very fun game. Most of the negative reviews are from skill issues and the pride stickers, not much of it is the games fault. The amount of grind is just right to feel fun without feeling overwhelming. Every time I come back from a run I can unlock something new or have the materials to build that thing I wanted. The upgrades are intuitive and rewarding, allowing you to essentially choose playstyles in how you choose to drive the car. Want more storage? Go ahead! What about battery life? fuel life? Knock yourself out. The trick comes in balancing your needs or going all in. You can decide what issues plague you the worst and tackle them with whatever ferocity you want. Hell, you could probably even stock parts to switch to depending on the rout you plan on taking. The route planning is another fun part of the game that just helps bring it all together. In the game you must scan Junctions to plan your route. Junctions are the "levels" of the game. Scanning a junction will give you info on that junction and the junctions that form the shortest route form the garage. You only get 1 scan at the beginning of the game. After upgrading it will show the info on ALL the junctions you can take to get to that point aswell as more scanner charges. Sometimes the shortest path is not the best path. Maybe you need to get through a swamp area with lots of water. You have been through a swamp area once before and know you had to wade through alot of water to get to some places off the road. This time, however, the swamp's waters are corrosive. Thats alot of corrosive water and can be really risky. So maybe you take a route around it or just hope you dont see some good loot across the water. im too lazy to continue listing all the various features in depth but the ambience is amazing, you will go from happy daytime to scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at night. Night time doesnt even have a bearing on the anomalies you will encounter, its just scary not being able to see them as easily. The story isnt going to be beating out New Vegas anytime soon but the world is built so thoroughly through the three survivors helping you through the game, the findable logs, the findable audio logs, scanning anomalies, and more. If you like digging through text for lore then they have plenty for you to read through, as well as a neat place to put them (if you get the upgrade). If you are listening to the radio then there are little tidbits that will occasionally come on during that aswell. Some sound like they could be live and others sound like past broadcasts. All in all plenty to feast on, or not if you don't care about it. The garage is customizable with all kinds of fun knick knacks and posters you might find out on some runs. You can even find car customizables out in the wild too, like an eightball stick shifter or a bobblehead cryptid or an ARDA hood ornament. The game is fun if you dont stop after the first mission or two. Its well worth giving a try. TL;DR: The game is great fun. If you aren't sure then just buy it on sale, it may be a required taste but man is it a good taste.

This game took me by surprise. I think I got it on a humble bundle or something. Picked it out of my backlog and it blew me away. So good. Must buy!

early game is pretty fun but late game gets repetitive. still fun overall.

This studio set a new foundation down for games like this. It captures the atmosphere perfectly and I love the time spent improving the car. It feels like a character in itself. I'm excited to see if they ever continue to build on something like this.

Очень хорошая, эстетичная и атмосферная игра, настоятельно рекомендую к прохождению

so fun and very good graphics and i have played for more than 570 hours so its addictive i warned you!

i really liked the game be the aesthetic or the lore i loved it wish to see more from this universe. some anomalies can be annoying but you can learn to avoid them easily
