W ith sincere apologies to the Magnum Opus from Mad Max, the Saud Kruger Orca passenger liner from Elite Dangerous and Arthur Morgan’s horse, I have a new favourite ride: the station wagon in Pacific Drive. It’s amazing.
It didn’t look like much at first: just a typical late ’80s family wagon with wood panelling and a hatchback trunk. But over the course of the last 35 hours I’ve turned it into an armour-plated, radiation-resistant tank positively bristling with sci-fi gadgets. And it’s only a little bit haunted.
Those upgrades (and the ghosts in the shell) are the result of barrelling through a hellscape of nightmarish weather, crumbling roads, and more horrifying anomalies per square mile than the entire trilogy combined. , the debut game from developer Ironwood
