Dead Static Drive is a pretty, broken game. The poor gameplay mechanics and constant issues with quest progression further drag down what is otherwise a disappointing title.

This stylishly rendered open world displays little sense of fun or character. It's a series of beautifully drawn cardboard boxes populated by unthinking automata, one that commits its genre's gravest crime: inviting no curiosity to explore it. [Issue#418, p.118]

This game is not fantastic. I and many others have noted that the games concept and core is actually pretty good. the idea of a survival horror game based around driving through areas and making friends along the way is cool- But with that being said, this is a first game, and unfortunately shows. I don't think it's as bad as many say it is. The game doesn't explain anything for the most part (Not even controls, which aren't fantastic to start with), the game itself doesn't run super well which is strange because I'm playing on a series X, and there are a good amount of choices that felt like they were made for "personality" rather than **** instance the camera controls are very poorly designed. I get that it can maybe add to high stakes sections by making them more stressful, but as a whole they make traversal a slog because you the player have to constantly keep moving it (Maybe it's better on PC??).This game was made by Reuben Games, and this was their first game. Apparently the game suffered through a lot of delays before release, and unfortunately it still came out with many issues. I don't know the behind the scenes of this games development, but this game's concept and gameplay elements may have been a bit too much to lay on a team of a handful of developers as their first game. I'd like to continue to encourage them to keep going- again the concept is not the issue, the devs clearly have ideas to share, but there are levels of polish necessary, and certain gameplay choices that should have been more thought **** a whole, not fantastic, the concept is cool, and I hope the devs keep going.
