Hard driving
PlayingPacific Drivereminds me of an army recruitment advert shown on British TV about 20 years ago.
The front seat passenger starts barking orders at the driver: Get off the road!
Through the trees!.
Its a scene you reenact quite frequently in Ironwoodssurvival gamewith roguelike trimmings.
because its one heck of a ride.
Where the army ad ends on such high notes, though, Pacific Drive’s sprint finishes don’t.
As you might expect, this is less exciting, but such downtime is not unwelcome, especially mid-journey.
Each trip you make into the sealed off exclusion zone is divided into maps you travel across and around.
Just be careful not to bang your head when you wrap up the boot.
Let me tell you about repair putty, for example.
But one of the ingredients for repair putty is chemicals, and chemicals arent common at all.
Then, when you do get your hands on putty, its incredibly slow to use.
You stand in front of a panel or door.
Hold the button for a couple of seconds.
Watch the scrape and slather animation play out.
Move to the next plane of bodywork.
The routine soon wears as thin as the supply of chemicals.
For all those Get off the road!
This review is based on a review build of the game provided by publishers Kepler Interactive.
