This game stays in my head, I think it’s such a great premise. I haven’t got to play it as much as I’d like but I think it’s a got very cool vibe going on. What do y’all think?

It’s a long ass ride and if you don’t have jetboots – then it means you have to ride in a fucking plane…

Oh…
Been wanting to get my hands on this. It looks so good!
I enjoyed it, but found it to get pretty repetitive so I fell off.
It is a good looking game with an interesting story. But i want to play with keyboard and mouse and this game has terrible controla straight out of the hell, so i refunded it. Maybe, if they fix this in future i will try it again
If you like first person driving, gathering, and crafting, then you’re gonna love this game. Taking care of and operating your car is a meticulous process, but has yet to feel tedious for me. The atmosphere is earie and beautiful. Sound track is excellent. I just got to the second zone and am digging the experience.
Edit: I’ll add that I use keyboard and mouse for walking around and crafting, and a dual sense controller for driving. It can be a bit awkward to drive a car with ASWD.
I’m very interested but is it still 30 fps?
Bad Optimization.
It’s pretty great but not without flaws. It can get pretty repetitive if you’re trying to 100% it.
it’s fun for the first one or two “drives”. Then you realize the third drive is just the same repetition.
So I went to the store later that day and had more fun real world driving that in that game.
I haven’t wanted to retry it and plan to Uninstaller later today. 😞
I want to play it but the demo ran bad on my PC, I’ll circle back to it at some point.
The gameplay loop and worldbuilding pull you in early. By about hour 30 you realize it’s a shallow but wide type situation. That and the story completely falls flat. I’d say it feels like a first game for a studio. 5/10
Absolutely hooked me for the entire time I was playing it, put a good 60+ hours in by the end, and I still kinda want to play it more. Super cool vibes, alternates between being incredibly tense and super chill. Really unique and memorable game.
Edit: it’s definitely the sort of game that some people are going to get absolutely hooked into, and others are going to bounce off though. I don’t know how I’d evaluate who is going to fall into which category.
It’s good. I’m getting close to the end of the story for me.
It is not an in-depth car person experience, as the grease monkey elements are simplified greatly, but it is a satisfying looter scooter with rogue-lite elements.
At the same time, I think it’s also great for easing someone into creepy, horror-like atmospheres if you don’t know if you’ll enjoy them. Plenty of unsettling sounds and stuff that makes you think you’re being watched or danger is around the corner without jumpscaring you or getting brutal.
The gameplay settings are also fairly extensive, letting you adjust your difficulty on the fly. I don’t think you can get it to Elden Ring-levels of challenging, but if you do find it difficult you can back off on the punishment or annoyances.
The lore entries are cute, but I find they can be an issue for some people where they don’t often really describe the thing they’ve scanned. It is nice to kind of figure out how to deal with anomalies yourself, but if you really need a straight answer you do have to jump out and check a guide or ask someone else.
Is it perfect? No, but I find it a pretty satisfying experience. Definitely a buy.
The game is great until it becomes a chore. At first upgrading your car and gear was a ton of fun until it wasn’t. Any game where you spend the majority of your time “managing” the game usually turns me off at some point. Really enjoyed the game but the constant fixing and inventory management and moving things from here to there, along with a pretty mid story made me put it down. Would definitely recommend checking it out though you are into the genre or just love old station wagons.
I bought it on PS5 and played the whole game once. Had ~40 hours by the time I wrapped it up.
I really enjoyed it, had a ton of fun. It’s simultaneously relaxing and stressful.
But it’s not for everyone. The car drives like shit no matter what you do, but that’s the point. The game is based around runs into the zone that always bring you back to the start so it’s somewhat rogue-like. But it’s also a survival game so you’ll spend a ton of time looting while dodging anomalies and radiation and storms.
Upgrading your car and home base are crucial and that’s the main reason for doing runs. I don’t think you could survive if you only did story missions so expect to do several resource runs that can be frustrating when you can’t find some of the more rare resources.
It can be a bit repetitive but also not, each location in the zone is unique but what you do in these zones is largely similar.
The story is semi-interesting but told entirely over the radio so you can easily miss parts when shit is hitting the fan or if you’re not good at paying attention to long monologues.
It’s hard to give it a full recommendation but I feel like it’s one of those games you’ll either love or hate. For me it was an 8/10 but I can understand slightly lower ratings as well.
I was doing a recorded playthrough, uploaded 6 parts, about 2 hours each, unlocked the last area and as much as I enjoyed the game just couldn’t bring myself to record more
It’s great. Feels way too grindy by the end if you want to unlock everything, but they aren’t necessary for completing the story.
I straight up love this game, full stop. Its like someone made a game specifically with me in mind. I could play this game forever. I’ve straight up been listening to the soundtrack in my car on the way to work.
Grabbed it at launch cause I liked the demo but I do not recommend. Repetitive, can’t save mid mission (so god forbid you got to put it down for other responsibilities), and after the fourth mission, you really seen the entire game.
Price is too high for what they are offering. It’s a 10 dollar title at best.
I wanted to love it, but it ain’t there. Wait for a deep sale. There is the makings of a good game here.
Fun but got repetitive after a bit
The music tracks, both game music and actual songs included for the radio are great, in addition to what others said. One of my favorite things about the game.
