Replayability?

[nachtundeis]

How's the replayability I read it's a short game like 1hr and the store page mentions playing a few more times for different paths to multiple endings.. How many endings are there? Is it worth the cost in your opinion? Just curious I've been thinking of picking it up

Replayability is pretty good for such a game. You get a new car after the first ending, and another new car after the third ending, and they kinda change the playstyle. You can make some different builds, skill-wise and car-wise, or just make a nice-looking car.

I thought the game will be short, but it actually kinda isn't. Well, sure, you can rush the endings as soon as you get on their "route" but you can just drive around, experience events, upgrade your car and do stuff. A "normal" run for me is like ~6 hours, where I don't rush the endings, upgrade the car as I want, travel a bit, but also don't stall. The game gives you three in-game months (the whole summer basically) to play, and both of my runs I haven't even reached the end of the first month. So you can get both, a short run if you want, or a really long one, depends on you.

There's quite a lot of endings. You can just check the achievement list, but it's around... 8? give or take. Endings also unlock new traits and stuff for future runs, and after getting an ending, if your car was upgraded, you can keep those upgrades for the next run if you want.

Yeah, totally worth it. Chill game to relax and listen music to, but not dumbed down to the point of being boring. Not a fan of the ingame soundtrack (that's just me, don't mind), so I've got myself a playlist of my own and it's been a blast.

around 10 or so endings and the game can be as long or as short as you want for the most part. The three endings I've had all took about 2-4 hours apiece and there was absolutely no rush to complete them. The game gives you a very generous time limit to do just about everything and you can have your progress (Car upgrades) carry over between playthroughs if you want. Additionally, each ending unlocks new starting gear, cars and perks so multiple playthroughs are encouraged.

The replayability isn't just in the endings, there are the different hitchhikers too. I tend to just pick up the first one or two and then decline the rest of the play through, but there is a lot of variety in the different hitchhikers too

You obviously don't drink and drive.

Yeah, it's pretty simple actually, I just bundled up several recordings of San Andreas radios in one playlist, like the K-Rose, K-DST, Playback FM and a few others. Went with the ads version, just because it's funny, and it'd sound like an actual radio in the background.

Really liked most of those radio songs as a kid, and they also fit the game's theme, being the songs of that period while being nostalgic and all.

Played 12 hours so far, and just got my 3rd ending. Replayability is pretty good with the different hitchhikers you can meet. Some of the endings involve you just driving to a location on your map, but others are a bit more 'involved' so there's enough variety in runs depending on which hitchhikers you pick up and which endings you go for.
