I don't usually review games but Pacific Drive has been the most fun singleplayer experience for me ever.
It blends all the good mechanics in other games in the same genre and it just works so well together.

The graphics are amazing, and has such a beautiful style, I love the characters, I love the story. I love the Variety of different playstyles you can make your car. The gameplay is literally so addictive that I've missed out on important things in real life because I've stayed up so late just grinding. I finally finished the game and I'm still going back for more...

If you have seen YouTubers play this game and think it looks fun, it's definitely a better experience to play it yourself and this game is definitely worth supporting the developers. I feel like this game should have more sales and it seems kinda unfair how Youtube gets more traction than the actual game itself.

My complaints for the game:
The game really overloads you with information when you first play it and then has mechanics that aren't very self explanatory. Like the wind powered generator can be activated just by driving fast, and breaking a trunk of a car destroys the inside loot, so its better to use a prybar. Another complaint is that the final area of the story has not enough missions, like I don't unlock all the equipment until after I finished the story. I wish the story was a bit more expanded in the final zones so you could get the endgame gadgets before the final mission. (Maybe this is because there is more missions planned after the main story is finished)

Final thoughts,
There has been some bugs and I'd like to see some changes, especially on the Offroad tires and the Powergrip tires. Offroad tires are just plain overpowered and give you no reason to use the other tires, (Unless you like style, speed and drifting like I did) Puncture proof tires are good endgame as your tires break like mad and its just better to get more experience to drive without relying on offroad tires. Powergrip tires are terrible for being endgame tires, they require you to use an ability slot and drain 30% of your battery in 3 seconds, i'd like to see them get changed into a passive ability and drain a lot less battery. I also wish there was a seat storage.
Anyway its a great game, I want more from the developers and I'd love to see their next projects. Indie games are the best.
9.5/10
