Pacific Drive's Immersive yet Repetitive Haunted Road Trip Tests Skills and Patience
-
Pacific Drive creates an immersive atmosphere with its paranormal phenomena and hazards that constantly test your driving skills in a fragile old car
-
Controlling the temperamental vehicle and trying to keep it functioning is very compelling, with excellent simulation of its loose suspension and strained components
-
The loop of driving out on resource gathering trips and then slowly repairing all the damage back at your workshop becomes tedious and over-stretched
-
Crafting systems, like the scarce chemicals needed for repair putty, are frustratingly limiting, forcing you to rebuild rather than mend
-
Despite exhilarating moments fleeing dangers, repetition sets in across similar map layouts and extremely long, unsaveable journeys
