Pacific Drive

Pacific Drive offers a thrilling and unique experience that seamlessly blends the excitement of a road trip with the terror of the supernatural. The game quickly won me over, just as it’s sure to win over the imagination and thrill of players who give the game a much-deserved try.

A novel and challenging survival game that puts you in the driver's seat of one the best cars in videogames.

While it does get a tad monotonous and predictable by the end, this remains an atmospherically dense survival adventure in an extremely vivid world. Its controls and variety of options deserve a prize.

With Pacific Drive, Ironwood Studios has achieved a game with an intoxicating and mysterious atmosphere, which introduces something new to a rather saturated genre through a fresh approach, anchored in systems that complement each other in an extremely intelligent way. Apart from one frustration or another, Pacific Drive is a highly recommended experience for all Survival fans.

Ironwood Studios' debut game accomplishes to be an immersive survival driving adventure. Its intense treks through mind-bending obstacles are balanced with humor and relaxing moments provided by crafting and upgrading useful tools and car components, along with Pacific Drive's catchy alternative rock soundtrack. It's an incredibly impressive debut game that should put the new studio on the map: "there's no peace of mind or place you'll see, like riding on Pacific Drive."

As I said up top, the whole game is something you’re either going to love or hate. Pacific Drive isn’t going to leave many (or any) people saying, “Enh, it was okay.” You might think it’s a brilliant take on the survival genre, or you might think it’s endless amounts of busy work without enough of a payoff, but either way, it’s guaranteed to get a reaction out of you.

As unpredictable as it is rewarding, Pacific Drive can be brilliant, infuriating, and frustrating in equal measure. There's a great idea here but much of its potential is burned up by a tough mid-game learning curve, and unpredictably cruel dangers.

Adventurous and thrilling, the game has plenty of potential, an absolute A+ game

Oyun kesinlikle güzel. Atmesferi, araba sürme mekanikleri ve eşya üretme kesinlikle tatmin edici. Arkada akan tatlı bir hikayesi de var fakat ortalama bir hikaye. Oyunun şikayet edebileceğim tek kısmı bazen sanki tekrara düşmüş gibi hissettirmesi. Oyun yaklaşık 20-25 saat. Zazen bu süre bu oyuna çokmuş gibi görünse de araba geliştirmenin zevkinden dolayı bittikten sonra keşke 3-4 saat daha içerik olsaydı dedim. Dlc'nin başını oynadım fakat aslını söylemek gerekirse dlc'yi beğenmedim, bir kaş karışık şey var ve fazla karanlık, sürekli far açık bir biçimde önünüzü görmeye çalışıyorsunuz. Ama sonuç olarak oyun gayet güzel.

Pacific Drive is a survival game unlike any other, turning the car into the protagonist and delivering an atmospheric, tense, and creative experience. While it struggles with repetition and demanding systems, it stands out as a remarkable work for those who enjoy exploration and crafting with a unique identity.

Glitched trophy and crashes. Too bad because the game itself was interesting.

I wanted to like this game but I just didn't have much fun with it. There is too much menu work, and the default light setting is way too dark so it was impossible to see anything during night missions until I found out you could adjust it. (I can't remember the last time I played a game where the light level is this important but it doesn't ask you at the very start to adjust the slider until the image on the left is barely visible.) Even worse, you can spend a couple of hours on a mission only to fail at the last moment if the terrain isn't in your favor. This happened to me with the mission where I had to activate 3 stabilizers around a map. The random terrain generator gave me too many long winding roads and steep hills my vehicle couldn't climb, so I was unable to escape the red corruption that comes at you fast in the end. I activated the stabilizers successfully, so that should have passed the mission, but it still said I failed. If I wanted to have all my plans thwarted at the last moment by a random number generator, I'd play XCOM. I see this game's potential, but I just didn't enjoy it.
