In this run-based driving survival adventure, you face supernatural dangers on each expedition into the Olympic Exclusion Zone. Make your base of operations in an abandoned garage, where you’ll research new parts, customize your station wagon, and chart routes deeper into the Zone. As you gather precious resources and investigate what’s been left behind in the Zone, you learn exactly what it takes to survive in this unpredictable, hostile environment.

Features:

Drive hard and keep your tools handy: repair your car, swap out parts, and gather useful materials
Outrun the storm while facing strange perils in a world that shifts with every journey into the Zone
Scavenge resources to craft new equipment for your car and build new stations in your garage
Your car, your way - configure your wagon how you want, experimenting with different equipment to navigate a treacherous landscape, and look good doing it
Unravel the mystery of the Olympic Exclusion Zone, an abandoned research site in an anomaly-filled version of the Pacific Northwest

DRIVE TO SURVIVE
It’s you and your station wagon against an unforgiving, vicious world. It’ll take more than a fresh set of tires to keep you alive, on and off the road. Your faithful wagon can be upgraded and reinforced to protect you, but the car is going to take a beating. Keep your gas tank filled and your panels intact to withstand the radiation permeating the Zone. You’ll be pushed to your limit - making repairs on the fly, scavenging materials wherever you can, and adapting your rolling fortress to tackle the many life-threatening dangers that lurk in the shadows.

INVESTIGATE THE ZONE
The experimental leftovers of the secretive ARDA organization remain scattered across the Zone, and finding answers won’t be easy. Everywhere you look you’ll find anomalies, surreal forces of a twisted nature that make your journey more difficult... or at least a lot more interesting. Silhouettes in the dark, rolling piles of scrap metal, and towering pillars of earth - each run is packed with otherworldly hazards. As terrifying as those may be, nothing compares to the overwhelming power of a Zone Storm. Stomp on the gas and outrun it if you can - these rolling maelstroms rend the landscape and obliterate anything that sticks around too long. Don’t let that be you.

REPEAT
Check the map, pack some gear for the trip, and hit the road. Gather resources and collect data as you go, there’s all sorts of useful stuff inside the walls of the Zone. Make it back safely and use the contents of your trunk to improve your car and garage. Every time you venture out, new trials await: bizarre weather, unforgiving landscapes, and experimental remnants. The golden rule in the Zone is ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ — some materials can only be found in the most dangerous places. Be smart out there, and don’t waste time — it’s going to be a long haul.

A great game that suffers from lack of variety after 10-15 hours. Needs more reason to explore random buildings, once you realize that there will likely only be 3-4 of the same items in everything, it gets a bit tedious. The weather system and atmosphere are great. World building in this is very solid and will get you into the game for sure. I would like to have seen more Anamolies or I may need to try harder/nightmare as things got a bit predictable over time. Plays great on steam deck and plays great on a 3060 & 5700X3D.

Cool game but looting becomes a bit tedious after a while, whats the point of opening boxes when you are 100% going to transfer everything to your backpack. There is no choice, everything inside small boxes is useful, just make it 1 sec hold to transfer everything, if there is space in your backpack, without box interface instead of 1 sec to open box followed by press a button to transfer stuff/or spam a button on specific few items (foodflares) that don't transfer with rest of the loot.

Here in my car, I feel safest of all,
I can lock all my doors, and it's the only way I live... in cars

Key features

Everything tries to destroy your car,
Breath stopping evacuations,
Fantastic radio songs!

Multi-stage gameplay
Pacific Drive explains little to nothing, yet expects a lot and more.
It's one of those game, where you just have to sit down and carefully examine what's what. How do I find this? How I craft that? Ohh, shiny... is it dangerous? Fool around and find out!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3463314915

Preparation is everything. Making repair kits. Assembling new devices. Planning road trips. Read the forecast and calculate your escape. That's right - calculate. Because the farther you drive, the higher the cost to return will be. Unless you crave that sweet radiation burn, do you?

Simply amazing experience
Welp. If you're willing to fight RNG, slog-walk resources grind and frequent car repairs - you are in for ride! m/
Where do I even begin... Radio! Songs selection is a chef's kiss. Great choices and fit so good for the road adventure.

The world! Each zone (Junctions) can be a safe haven, where you can explore at your own pace, or you might enter a bloody acid showering swamp with local anomalies dragging your sideways, pulling doors off, stealing precious resources and flying off to radiation clouds. Where you will have to go in, because that was the whole point of your trip - to harvest those missing items needed for an upgrade... =/

The car! Apply various equipment and now you can forget about fuel stations - all thanks to the fuel synthesizer. Battery goes flat quickly? Craft a wind turbine. Running out of space for the resource or you simply want to carry spare panels? Then attach literal boxes! And then watch them wearing out and dropping your hard earned bits and bots -_-

Story missions aren't hard and somehow short, but it's your own driving that makes your heart beat faster. I'm talking about escape routes i.e. once you trigger the beam, you have to get there very quick and often through terrain obstacles which you dodged earlier.
I postponed story objectives as long as I could, just kept driving via new routes and facing anomalies, sucking in radioactive eggs at nights. And that's what I recommend you too! Safety's off, get there!

Hmm maybe I just don't get it. You drive ten feet. Get out of your car. Use a buzzsaw on a broken car. Put the scrap in your trunk. You drive ten feet. Get out of your car. Use a buzzsaw on a broken car. Put the scrap in your trunk. You see a puppet that explodes if you hit it. You drive ten feet. Get out of your car. Use a buzzsaw on a broken car. You see a floating rock. Put the scrap in your trunk. You drive ten feet. Get out of your car. Use a buzzsaw on a broken car. Put the scrap in your trunk. That's the entire game so far.

Edit: Played a bit more and filled a box up with materials, turned around and it vanished. This game sucks.

as a certified Death Stranding sicko, i really vibe with this game's similar understanding of how satisfying it is to carry a big pile of stuff on a precarious journey from one point to another. i also enjoy rooting around in garbage for slightly more special garbage. Opossom Norman Reedus, that's me

What should've been a fantastic trek through a bizarre and otherworldly rural landscape turned into a junk food resource collectathon which grants you the privilege of collecting 20 craps to give your car door a +15 health upgrade.

Much to my dismay, everything in the game is based around this resource collecting loop:
- Anomalies (the main form of antagonism in the game) are only there so your car gets damaged and you need to craft several fixer items.
- The levels are completely devoid of anything interesting, instead opting for small shacks and campers containing shockingly few resources, of which there are only about 3-7 per level.
- Huge skill tree, but you can condense it into 4 categories: More storage for resources, higher resistance armor, 'helper' upgrades (more protection, fuel/energy generation gadgets, etc.) and yet another layer of resources that you need to craft (plus things like a radio or an item destructor).
- The story has you craft a couple things at certain points, but mostly it's there only to push you further into the map, for which you ideally need better equipment and an infuriatingly large amount of fixer items.

I just described the game, so if you look at this list and think you'd like it (I did, nothing wrong with a bit of junk food every once in a while) this might be the game for you.

The BIG problem with this list, is that it really doesn't have to be this way. The same way everything revolves around resource collecting, everything can and should NOT revolve around resource collecting. The atmosphere is supreme, and honestly exactly what you expect when you look at the store page. The anomalies have personalities. The environments are pretty and weird. The car handles really well! If it wasn't in a game this repetitive, and I didn't have to stop every 5 meters to heal the car parts, driving would actually be really fun.

I didn’t like the story, which really isn’t much of a story and more of a dialogue between three characters, which culminates in them accepting a fault in themselves. One, they are mostly bland. Oppy, the hardheaded, work obsessed hermit is the most interesting character by far, also being the most involved in the lore events, and the more direct and “aggressive” driving forward of the ‘plot’. The gay couple was mostly background noise for me. Francis, detached and cautious, clashes with Toby, the optimist go getter, but they don’t serve any more purpose than Oppy does in terms of moving gameplay along and they were just boring to listen to. Two, the player involvement in the “story” is going to location and flipping a switch. Other than that, the player serves as the in-between for the characters banter, which I never paid attention to anyway because there’s always something immediate that needs to be done in the game, be it management resource or dodging trees and debris in the highway. And three, it’s just not very interesting, and it really has a barely tangential connection to the world laid out in the game. The only connection between the characters and the story is that they are physically there in the zone where weird things happen, but their banter and personal struggles are just cliched workspace melodramas that can be slapped on any setting.

All you would have to do, is have a story which meaningfully involves the player, put things you’d actually want to explore, COMPLETELY get rid of resource collecting, and bam. GOTY.

As it stands, I cannot in good conscience recommend a time waster. It's not that time waster are bad, but if I'm gonna recommend a game, it needs to have substance. Pacific Drive didn't want to have substance.

Oh, and also it runs like crap and it’s full of bugs, and I'm not talking about the vehicle.

Pacific Drive is one of the most memorable games I’ve played in a long time. It really stuck with me. The story? is solid. Not groundbreaking, but it absolutely does the job. The lore, though, it’s fantastic. You’ve got these little tape recordings scattered across the Zones that give you bits and pieces of what went wrong - it’s like piecing together a sci-fi puzzle while rummaging through abandoned trailers and twisted forests.

But what actually makes this game is the car. No joke. This junky, haunted, clunky old station wagon is the heart and soul of everything. You don’t play as the car, but you might as well be. The way you care for it, fix it up and bolt on whatever scraps you can find makes you get attached to it. And then there are those panic moments when the sky turns purple, your tires are shredded, and it seems that the Zone is actively trying to kill you. That's when the game shifts into full-on DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE! mode. It’s chaotic, terrifying, and completely thrilling.

It’s weird - like, if someone told me “you’re gonna love this game where you drive through a radioactive forest and manually screw bumpers onto your car,” I’d probably shrug. But Pacific Drive pulls it off so well. It blends moody storytelling, survival mechanics, and this oddly satisfying car maintenance sim in a way that feels super original but also kind of nostalgic.

The driving itself it’s bad, but that’s on purpose. The car slides all over the place, brakes like it’s covered in butter, and turns like it’s made of bricks. But that’s what makes every successful trip feel earned. When you actually limp back to your garage after a run, engine smoking, headlights hanging by wires it’s a moment. You get out, patch things up, maybe slap on a new bumper and a paint job, and it feels good. Messy, but satisfying-as-hell good.

I also love how every anomaly in the Zone feels like its own mini story. They’re not jump-scare monsters or anything, they're more like environmental weirdness that’s out to mess with you and, more importantly, your car. One second you’re driving through an acid cloud, next your windshield wipers are going nuts because of a random “quirk” your car picked up, and suddenly you’re out of battery, parked sideways in a creek while a tourist mannequin just... watches.

There’s also something super cool about how it respects your time. It’s a mission-based structure, so you’re always choosing where to go and when to push deeper. And while it can get repetitive the game throws enough curveballs and environmental changes to keep things feeling fresh. You do have to backtrack a bit sometimes, and I can see how that might wear some folks down in the late game. But for me, that repetition became kind of meditative, even a little addictive.

By the end of it, my garage was decked out, my car was more armor than vehicle, and I genuinely didn’t want to say goodbye.

TL;DR; I can’t recommend it enough. It’s not flashy. It’s not perfect. But it’s absolutely something special. 9/10

Just, uh… keep an eye on your fuel gauge.

My game of the year hands down!

My favorite aspect of this game is the ability to import your own songs into the radio. Blasting my favorite tunes while avoiding anomolies and racing against incoming storms is something special.

The gameplay loop is great. Start off with a beat down vehicle, scavenge for parts and create upgrades your vehicle, advance through the story with random junctions and anomolies,, and continue on getting stronger.

Highly recommend!
