Pacific Drive, a review
TL;DR - Starts out all spooky and a promising plot/lore combo, degenerates to grindfest with huge difficulty spike.
6/10, with 1/10 for being a rare open-world driving sim like The Long Drive or BEWARE

PIRATE, DON'T PURCHASE!!!
Ironwood studios are massive fag-huggers
I recommend the Fitgirl release
Link in photo has a mod that removes the fag/troon/freak decals
Highlights
---Homo couple with one fag making Dramatic Heroic Sacrifice (tm) 2/3rds into the game.
---Lore takes insane amounts of farming to find all of it.
---No hints on where or how to get the mid and late-game resources that you need for advanced car parts, unless you install the Resource Radar and notice the funny new symbols.
------This is especially retarded as you have 3 people over the radio trying to help you escape, one is even a top science nerd.
---All the posters are all gibberish instead of readable text because the devs cheaped out (compare with games like Black Mesa)
---By midgame you have craploads of parts, insane amounts of storage, and no use for it all.
---Optimization so bad that my 3080 sounds like a jet engine after a single 'run' ingame.
---Game lets you softlock yourself into dying in Dead Ends that randomly appear
-------Also possible to semi-softlock yourself at a specific mission where you arrive at a spot needing a crafted item (the LIM Shield) and don't have it; there ARE a couple workarounds.
---Late-game becomes a grindfest of trying to zip through Outer and Mid zones without taking too much damage because Deep Zone will fuck your car worse than an unconscious hooker at a frat house party.
---Decoration has too few options
------Only 2 sticker spots
------License plate and hubcaps aren't available
---Can't decorate or rearrange your ugly 'home base' at all. All upgrades are in predefined locations.
