PACIFIC DRIVE

One of the best things about being a fan of survival games is that they’re not all about chopping down trees and hunting rabbits with a bow and arrow. Survival games span all sorts of different genres – horror games, shooters, crafting sandboxes, city builders, colony sims. So… how about a driving game?

If there’s a single upcoming survival game that’s really captured my interest by swerving into another genre, it’s Pacific Drive, the first-person ‘driving survival game’ from Ironwood Studios due out later this year. In Pacific Drive your car is your best friend and your only companion, and you steer it deep into a restricted area of the Pacific Northwest known as the exclusion zone, which has fallen into chaos due to bizarre government experiments.

Since the first teaser trailer for last year, I’ve been dying to know more about it.

Just a little bit exciting, but aren’t unique weapon variants something you could have just included in the game, maybe organically integrated with how you progress? I’d rather kill a boss for these than pay Square Enix six real-life bucks. Free leve
