Demo: Car runs like a dream, handles great, full of potential.
Full Release: Pop the hood—engine’s gone. Just poof. Vanished. No smoke, no explosion, no dramatic goodbye. Just an empty void where my hopes and dreams used to be.
At this point, I’m not sure if I bought a Driving game or an interactive missing-persons case for car parts. Maybe the engine fell into a parallel universe where it gets to drive me around.
Really hoping they fix this, because right now, my car is less “fast and furious” and more “stationary and confused.”

I don't know how this game got so many good reviews. After about 5 minutes you've done everything there is to do in the game. You just drive down this desert road. There's the same 3 or 4 buildings repeating, a few car parts, and zombies here or there that you kill with 3 clicks of a mouse that can't do anything to you. In infinite mode you have to keep pissing despite not drinking anything.
I know it's early access but jesus, there's no game in this game. This is just a "hold w" simulator. There's nothing to do, nothing to explore. It's like a tech demo, except it's not show-casing any interesting tech. The graphics are abysmal, it's buggy as hell - constant lights flashing in the distance.
There really is nothing in the full game that isn't in the demo, I bought the game expecting more then the demo - which looked interesting when I played it - but it's the exact same thing except you pay for it except it doesn't end at 50km. And you have no reason to go even 10km because you've seen everything it has to offer by then.
Oh, and the laggyness. RTX 4090, 64gb ram, Ryzen 7950x and it still manages to start stuttering with 2007-era graphics.
I have only played 10 minutes, playing more tomorrow.
Let me clear something up for half the people giving it negative.
1. It has manual transmission, check options you idiots...
2. No you're not going to start with a pristine car, use common sense
3. You can CHANGE how frequent you find POI's (CHECK OPTIONS....AGAIN.......)
4. You can also change the amount of (items) you find.. CHECK OPTIONS.... AGAIN AGAIN.................
So far just in this short time its HEAPS better than the demo.
Y'all just don't have the mindset to check options, customization and so on.
This game is fun when it works.
Unfortunately, at the time of writing, it's a very unpredictable and unstable game. I wouldn't recommend it in its current state. Unless... Unless you enjoy losing all your progress suddenly, and for absolutely no reason at all! Then you'll adore it.
It takes time to find the right parts to build your car. It also takes time when you are searching for the part you put down for a moment, but then glitched out of existence when you turned your back for a second.
The physics in this game are from another dimension. Just a small example:
Driving down the road and hit a street light. Items I am hauling now become ground clipping cruise missiles, never to be seen again. Not all of them, but the ones I needed. Engine literally magics itself out of reality. The windshield is now down the hill, sliding around like it's the 10,000m track event at the Summer Olympics. Foot pedals take their protests to the next level, jumping ship and disappearing into the next dimension just to escape my feet.
I was hardly going that fast, but the game seems to feel I had discovered faster than light travel the way it reacted.
This kind of jank is persistent throughout the game, but I could live with it ... until the save game system also decided to become a wizard. After a strangely peaceful session, I decided to save the game and continue on later. The save refused to save itself after 15 minutes of waiting, and so it too joined its friends in the mysterious next dimension.
Next time I loaded up the game, I died a little inside. I lost my beautiful Golf Poyopa Bonphiac Dada C18 prototype. Everything except my backpack and the clothes on my back. So I started running down the road looking for a new Frankenstein's monster to reject me.
Which was slow and boring, so I'm done with it. The end (until full release).
Sad days.
When I first saw this game, I was like "oh great, a copycat of The Long Drive." but I took a chance and the devs are always making changes and while the game does have its issues here and there, it's far better so far than TLD.
There are a few odd things along your journey, but it's pretty entertaining. If you can look past the random frame drops here and there, the game is amazing. For an Early Access title, this is one of the better ones.
found a random guy sleeping, held him at gun point while pissing on his leg, then shove him in my car (old mustang) and drove him out to a field full of mines and a slot machine, he gambled so much the handle fell of blowing him up sending him to space idk where he is at, gave up on him got the game it's good
I woke up. got held at gunpoint by naked man pissing on me, they then shoved me in the back of an old mustang and drove me out into the desert were i proceeded to gamble on a slot machine in the middle of a mine field. Handle fell off, landed on a mine, i was sent to into space. I landed on my home and downloaded Drive Beyond Horizons and its alr, ig
Good game, will change to positive once AI generated content is removed.
Edit: And once the dev stops using ChatGPT to write their dev responses. C'mon, it's just lazy at this point.
played 12 hours just to have everything blown up by a field of landmines want my fucking money back this games fucking ridiculous I’m appalled you guys are charging 30 dollars for this laggy sad excuse for a game none of the settings work tires still wear and cars still rust and spend half my time looking for a battery cause the IFA wouldn’t start with any other battery then it’s original add more cars and fix your shit and maybe I’d pay 10 bucks for this game fuck the developers money grabbing cunts
I think this is the best driving survival game i have ever played.
If you enjoyed The Long Drive you will enjoy this for sure.
Expect bugs of course, its early access so it should be expected lol
But i have yet to run into any major problems at all.
Slight bugs here and there but no "oh my save is gone" type stuff.
Also the radio is pretty damn good.
This game is an absolute blast. Sitting here playing this with my buddy and we are laughing so hard 90% of time. Between killing eachother and putting cop lights on the roof and screaming "POLICE GET DOWN" as we run over zombies, its an all around good time. I understand this is early access but we have gotten plowed by bad rng and never making it to the end. Even when this game has a bug, It makes us laugh by what happens, 10/10
A teddy bear blew up the gas station who daisy-chain exploded and literally deatomized the car I took 8 hours to put together with all my stuff in it. 10/10.
Insane price tag for what the game is. Very little content in the game, physics are garbage and not even garbage enough to be funny, half the game menus are in french, multiplayer is insanely buggy. I would not even pay 5 euros for this game
The starter car sucks massive donk, do everything to get it to drive and then NOTHING doesn't move an inch, doesn't matter what I do, car just won't move. Utter trash.
I fell in love with this game.
It is a game where you can spend hours upon hours of driving and searching for parts to build your amazing dream car but...
I opened a public server with no password and nobody joined...
I've played 10 hours and not a single soul joined to my game......
Does it make the game bad? No.
But it's not fun to play a game like this alone.....
And also i've tried to join other people servers and most of them are with passwords or French... Or don't have a mic... Or they kick you for saying hello......
It's funny because in the Demo version they all talked and it was even more fun...
And also there was a different weather system like Snow and it was hard driving in the Snow in the Demo version.
Overall great game but all of the servers are locked and you cannot play with others...
i am HOOKED on this game having loads of fun doing the ''restorer achivements'' its getting updates every few days, but im allready happy with it. FPS dropping is a problem as of 07/04/24 but its still playable
