Already got Pacific Drive or thinking about it? Here are some useful tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6HNkmhmm52lnMk NOTE: As per update 1.1.3, the Antenna progress lock bug has been fixed so you can hopefully ignore that part of my review. Materials also acquire faster and the zone implodes at a slower rate, making life a bit easier.

I also lived around that area, in the 90's, and I currently live an hour north of Seattle. So between the 90's nostalgia, the location, and the fact it centers around a car (I'm a petrolhead...lol), I was immediately drawn into this game. The fact that it gives off heavy Outer Wilds meets Subnautica vibes just added to it's appeal. Now that I'm playing it, I can't recommend it enough. It's incredibly addicting. You'll find yourself saying "Just one more run" often. Amazing game.

SPOILER AHEAD So first of all, really enjoyed the game. That being said, I feel like the ending was disappointing. We never figure out what the LIM waves actually ARE. We never figure out the source. We never figure out what caused the hallucinations (not really.) Why are there ARDA TV's everywhere on the last mission? Why are there 'launch site' signs everywhere? Multiple mentions of UFO's and Aliens, and yet nothing about that in the ending. Then Oppy just says "oh my husband might still be alive oh well I'm out" and leaves me and Francis alone? Like bruh the whole point was that I was trying to GTFO of the walls, and escape the exclusion zone. I don't know... just really dissatisfied, but it may just be a personal thing. I dislike when stories don't end and don't explain anything. Or did I miss something?

@@ATribeCalledCarsmy personal take is that it’s pretty unnecessary and kinda dropkicked me out of the immersion seeing all the flags and political crap in a spooky car game. It’s like if you were playing an FPS and suddenly there’s a literal clown posse jumping your team and it’s never mentioned again. Bad example but it’s definitely odd. My personal fix for this is to not include it in the main game. But add it on the steam page as a free DLC. Like “here’s the pride pack!” And “here’s a chibi pack!”(with cute animals idk) just saying.
