#DRIVE is by no means a revolution as far as endless-runner games go, but its simple premise and addictive collection aspect delivers an enjoyable experience. While many big developers and publishers might not feel now is the time to venture back into making explosive arcade racers, I’m happy this one did.

#DRIVE is a low-key simulation game with pretty backdrops that will relax you but may not keep you entertained for long.

Mechanically monotonous endless racer with charming visuals and loads of cool unlockable cars. Harmless entertainment, but not really a good racing game.

I cannot believe I wasted my money on this game, this game is so worthless and meaningless it’s insane, this is literally just an extremely mediocre mobile game ported to switch. Not impressed.

Great endless racers to waste hours, trying to beat your own high scores and maybe even reach a good spot on the leaderboards. My favourite thing is that it contains many cars that drove around on the streets here in the 80s, the time when I was a child, like the VW Golf model 1 which is the default car. Pity it doesn't have the licences to give the car models their proper names, but calling for example the default car "Das Holzwagen" ("the wood car" in German, although with a grammatical error) is also nice. Sprinkled in are a few references to pop culture. Car nostalgics might find some value in this game, I enjoy it myself.

Overall, #Drive is one of those feel-good runners where you just have to lose yourself to the gameplay and have a good time.

It has both its calm and frustrating moments, but when it looks as stylish as it does, you can’t hold it against it. A mobile-runner without the trappings, it compliments the Switch perfectly. Kick back, keep your eyes peeled, and just #Drive.

The overly repetitive tracks and gameplay definitely works fine on mobile, but for a console experience – and one with a moderately high price-tag – this isn’t a motor that you’ll be taking out for a drive that often.

#DRIVE obviously won’t scratch the same itch that a fully-featured racing game will, but if you’re looking for something to waste some time with, there’s fun to be had here. For an endless runner game, #DRIVE offers a reasonable amount of depth, and unlocking all the locations and vehicles is reason enough to keep coming back, 10 minutes at a time.

One of the most interesting endless runner on Nintendo Switch - lots of cars, nice replayability, gorgeous low poly graphics and great photo mode. If you're looking for nice and fun game you should check this indie game.

69? 80? These are the scores y'all are giving it? Smh. Some of this game's music is literally just 1 measure repeated over and over for 1 level. The bar is set so low. Almost feels like reviews these days are rigged. For those of you without musical education, that means the music repeats every few seconds (depending on tempo.) The handling of the car is squirrelly, gameplay is repetitive. The in-game gameplay is repetitive but also the game meta strategy is repetitive, its just grinding levels over and over, like 25 times till you get enough to unlock the next level, rinse and repeat. As I said earlier the music is bad, and the main bonus to a zen game like this, is the music. The music isn't that bad. its just repetitive and gets really tedious to listen to. The voice acting is also devoid of emotion, similar to the music, very bland. One of the reasons I downloaded the game was the cool car personality in the trailer, yet the game has no personality. The graphics are very good so I will be generous and give this a 5 out of 10.

It looks soo good, funny stage & car names, cool music. Lots of cars. However you probably will never drive them as the controls lag, oversensitive. The cars handling can be best explained as "its like steering a drunk sailor on a boat." You can swap to buttons only (like a Android/apple game ) or use the stick for steering. One brake button and one for drift. I kept playing the game for hours still hoping I get used to the oversensitive handling or at least a better car later ----nope. What a waste, the game looks great and interesting, but is pretty much unplayable with the controls now.

Summary#DRIVE is an endless driving videogame inspired by road and action movies from 1970s. As simple as possible, allowing the player to pick a car, pick the place and just hit the road. Just be aware not to hit anything else. No matter where we drive, no matter what we drive or how fast we drive. We simply chose to drive. And you?
