In my Pacific Drive review, I explore why this is the surprise hit of 2024 and how it is more than likely to have you screaming at the heavens when things go wrong.

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.

The devs are Chads who decided to experiment and do their own thing to give us a game so unique!!!

Feels like trying to get gold in a timed event on snow runner. That one bridge could ruin your whole day. “Don’t fall asleep. DONT FALL ASLEEP”

everything youve described is EXACTLY what got me so hooked with this game a year ago, i cannot wait until i can buy it im so ^w^

I live in the Canadian Pacific Northwest and this looks so X-Files-ish (the original X-Files seasons happened to be filmed right where I live). Very cool.

Just got through the tutorial and did my first trip last night and i tell you some of the best atmospheric audio ever. First crack of thunder and lightning rung through my ears

Looks awesome! Thanks for making me aware of it 👍 solid review as always

I lived on the Olympic Peninsula in the 1990s so I cant wait to see how the area looks in the game. Thanks for the review!

the trauma from my summer car is already enough of a reason for me to not mess with the anomalies in pacific drive

Indy developers are single-handedly keeping the gaming ecosystem alive. The only games I’ve enjoyed over the recent years are mostly low budget and small team development studios. This game looks amazing and has come a long way since it’s early access years ago. Excited to jump in soon and play it myself!

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?

So its a CaRPG (sorry, couldn’t resist) with some roguelite elements?
Thanks for the review/breakdown, might just have to pick this one up!

The best description of this game. "Heart bursting it of my chest" is complete accurate.

[Riccardo_Mori]

Your reviews are always very well scripted and informative. I think I'll give Pacific Drive a try. It fuses together so many different aspects I've liked in other games. And as you said in the previous video, its price is more than fair for what it offers and the level of polish. Cheers! //Rick

I think this game has just gone to the top of my wishlist! Looks fab, very original and immersive

Use vacum cleaner in your garage near computer where you learn new recipes after you scrap a lot of items saves time and don't need to pick them all up one by one

Excellent vid Ben really enjoyed that one! I cannot quite decide if i like it but it has lots to offer and is visually beautiful and impressive. I think i will ponder it for a bit first. Been waiting for this review for a while now, nice one great stuff and love all the information you got into it👍

I LOVE this game. Now....Pacific drive 2 : You and three friends go out on a camping trip only to get sucked into the exclusion zone. One car.. each person can controll turret type things on the car or just shoot flair guns out the windows, everyone does everything they can to keep the only thing thats keeping them alive.. the car... up and running. Someone make it happen

[chillrobots]

I've come to enjoy your channel and your voice so much, you could be reviewing a stick of salami and I would like and subscribe and tell my friends. Nice review btw. Game looks decent

[rxeuzhx]

I've been so pumped about this game, ans your review makes me want it even more. But...I really wanted to play it on Steam Deck but the demo ran terribly...even on the lowest settings (which looked unbearably ugly), it couldnt hold 30, dropping into the low 20s. I'm hopeful it will get optimized a bit over time.
