- When you get down to it, Pacific Drive is a quietly brilliant game. There's nothing that comes to mind that is like it, and it's an outwardly simple concept that also has a variety of layers. While out on a run, you deftly drive around anomalies and sometimes escape a junction with a tattered car by the skin of your teeth. Other times, you're outfitting your car in the garage while the jukebox is playing, carefully considering what to bring with you and which parts you should have on the car. This game is exactly what I had hoped it would be when I initially heard about it, and it's been a long time since I've played something so boldly different.
Tony "OUberLord" Mitera · Mar 11, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Pacific Drive is a fantastic survival game with an addictive gameplay loop that involves forging deep connections to junctions, progressing deeper into an ever-changing Zone, upgrading a quirky vehicle, and navigating through challenges that appear on the road ahead.
Ben Thomas · Mar 08, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Pacific Drive llega como un soplo de aire fresco a los videojuegos basados en mecánicas roguelite, una mezcla de survival y aventura de exploración con la conducción como elemento diferenciador, con todo lo que propone una jugabilidad que flirtea y de qué manera con la simulación. Lo que está claro es que si no te gusta recolectar recursos y fabricar cosas, este no es tu juego, porque en Pacific Drive seremos auténticos chatarreros atrapados en un mundo azotado por lo sobrenatural. Lo que sí resulta muy interesante es la relación que se construye entre nosotros y nuestro coche y el mimo y el cuidado que podemos llegar a poner en él, ofreciendo una experiencia o que te atrapa por completo o que se resiente demasiado hasta el punto de querer abandonarla de forma prematura.
Cristian Ciuraneta · Mar 07, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - While some of its looting mechanics feel a little stale in comparison to how it evolves other areas of the genre this likely won’t deter most players from seeing this intriguing story through to the end. Instead, Pacific Drive is one of the most intriguing games I’ve played in 2024 so far. It borrows concepts from the likes of STALKER and Firewatch, and combines them to create an accessible survival rogue-lite that’s a joy to engage with. Seeing your car gradually transform from a heap of junk to essentially a life support system is a satisfying experience, and only enhanced by the weird and wonderful world you get to drive it about in.
Joshua Boyles · Mar 05, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Pacific Drive consigue sacarle partido a su magnífica mezcla de conducción y supervivencia paranormal ofreciendo una aventura de interacciones meticulosas, situaciones tensas y profundidad de contenido.
Manu Delgado · Mar 05, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Pacific Drive is an intriguing blend of science fiction storytelling and simulator gameplay mechanics. If you typically shy away from roguelikes, this might be the one that finally nestles its way into your psyche as you tell yourself “Just one more run”.
Jason Dailey · Mar 04, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Despite a few technical hiccups, Pacific Drive is a thrilling experience that is unlike anything I've encountered. Beautifully atmospheric with a really well-done story design and more than enough mental stimuli to make your mind terrified of what it doesn't see. Pacific Drive is a game about you and a questionably reliable car, and it is a destination well worth the drive.
Eric Halliday · Feb 28, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Pacific Drive is a unique RPG and survival crafting game in a landscape choked with unimaginative copycats and clones. That alone makes it worth checking out. Its story, atmosphere and basic loop are engaging and satisfying. At the default difficulty though, its design and mechanics can frustrate in ways that neither skill or time can overcome. Pacific Drive offers a refreshing RPG experience but the ride is sometimes bumpier than intended.
Mark Steighner · Feb 26, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Pacific Drive thoughtfully translates simple yet overlooked human aspects through an experience that is truly unique and unforgettable.
Katherine Kong · Feb 26, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Pacific Drive is a game absolutely dripping in atmosphere and excellent spooky vibes, with an exploration-to-looting-to-tense extraction-to-crafting/upgrading and back again gameplay loop that doesn't get old, and a story that is both emotional and intriguing. While pacing issues do hamper it down some, that doesn't damage the experience enough to leave it off anyone's must-play list for 2024.
