how to play this game step 1 find car that already has parts. step 2 clean car up with brush and sponge. step 3 spend 30 minutes looking for most parts. step 4 spend 6 hours looking for the passenger side mirror or a single side marker

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.”

The Demo was amazing, hence i bought the game. However i'm English, i do not speak or read French, but most of the game seems to be in French which makes it practically unplayable for me at the moment. I'll check back in a few months as maybe they will have translated a bit more, but that should be something made clear before buying or at least on the intro screens! At the moment i can't recommend the game.

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.

Look. I've never been a financially wise man. I read the reviews. I watched the gameplay. I knew it was going to literally be a shamelessly, disrespectfully, unaltered, copy/pasted version of The Long Drive... I knew all this. I played many many hours of The Long Drive. I loved The Long Drive. The Long Drive is only $3 on sale. And yet, I bought this game. With money. It's the same game. I now have 2 The Long Drives in my library. Same quirks. Same clunkiness. Same bugs. Just shinier, polished with a little WD-40 and zero love. I promise you the dev shot The Long Drive file through some AI prompt that read, "Literally The Long Drive but in 4k. Change nothing else. . . and charge them 5x the cost." And I bought it. Because I'm dumb. Like a moth to a flame. Idk why I do this. But i did it. And damn it. . . I love it. Such a huge disrespect to the original. But I don't care. I am happy. I am stupid. If you too, are an idiot, then do it. Nothing's different. Nothing's stopping you. Sure, there's no reason you couldn't save the $22 and just play the original, the exact same game. But, why do that when you COULD pay $22 more to play PRETTY The Long Drive. *I genuinely don't know what to select for the "Do you recommend this game?" This certainly is a game of all time.

Whoever made the decision to focus on a backrooms update needs to be fried ASAP. Fix and add onto the actual game please.

So basically the long drive but with better graphics but bigger price tag it's a good game but I'd wait for the price to go down

This is a blatant copy of The Long Drive without the vinyl warmth and personal touch of the original. But then again, graphics... Graphics solves anything. Not a single original addition or fresh idea in the game in comparison to the original, except for the increased amount of grinding. UPD. Oh, and the most important point (for a driving game) - The Long Drive has car physics. Maybe a bit wonky, but it still does. In this one, all the cars feel like a plastic child toy.

Fun game with friends but definitely not worth $25, feel a little ripped off

After 100km driven i wanted to write this review. This game is significantly worse than the game its based off of; The Long Drive. This game has the advantage of having, more cars, more interesting ones at that & far better sound. However: the driving feels low budget, wheels that are more worn handle better than brand new ones, you cant turn (basically at all) at high speeds, the physics engine feels a lot worse, there is TOO MUCH fuel & whilst there are a lot of items, you see the mass majority in the first 2-5 points of interest. I find myself not too bothered to stop since, I've seen the same location 20+ times and i don't need fuel, oil or water. This game feels less silly and more clunky than the long drive. The Long Drive's physics engine and the general gameplay feels a lot better, and smoother compared to this. BUT, I can see this game getting better with the addition of more diverse content, a vastly improved driving system and physics engine. For the price tag, the game is NOT worth it, It is currently a 5-10$ game that feels like a cheaper version of The Long Drive. (EDIT) When I say the physics are worse than TLD I mean; when you crash in TLD going 60+ stuff will go flying, parts will fall off, you will take damage & feel scared to crash. In DBH, I "crashed" dozens of times where i just bounced around and it got to the point where (because i couldnt turn my car) i just bobbled over bumps and hills in the desert going 150? whatever the max speed was. I'd do a double front end flip and rollover 12 times with no sign of anything happening, but my car visibly rusts after every 10 miles. SURE.

Set my world to public because I have nobody to play this with, got a full game in minutes. Most chill and welcoming randos I've ever met, super patient with my stupid ass that put motor oil in a radiator. Buggy physics engine made the drive even more hilarious, hardest I've laughed in a multiplayer game in ages. Fun score: 10

its like the the long drive game but better. this is a prime example of why video games can copy game mechanics and have a completely different game.

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.

As this game sits now, i would not recommend this game. It crashes frequently with no notes as to why it's crashing. It'll crash when you simply load in, when you're just standing there or midway through the drive. It has potential to be an absolutely fantastic game but there needs to be more updates and fixes. A lot of text has not gotten translated either even though it says you can have it in English, which I do. It seems like there's a couple comments on how the game devs have slowed down on progress without any form of communication to people who have already bought the game to support it.

Awesome game! Definitely something different. Please add controller support tho!

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.

25 euros is a theft for this game but its good...maybe 15 its the correct price

I have over 200 Hours in this game, Completed and Unlocked all the cars. 51/51 Achievements. Great Game, Especially for an Early Access. Yes, it has its bugs and quirks. No, its not "Perfect" in any way shape or form. I love the attention to detail this game has. Like the paint scheme, You can paint everything White or Grey 1st then whatever color you want for a solid finish, OR you can Paint with one color and then another over it for an Undertone look, I am partial to the Metallic Purple (Black label) As a base coat then Metallic Black over it. The finish is *Chef's Kiss* However, There are a couple of things i HOPE to see in the future. 1, I would LOVE a story of SOME KIND. Like, WTF happened to the world?, Where is everyone else? Where am I going on this long.....long...LONG road. Whats the deal with the zombies?, Whats the deal with the Aliens? The aliens seem cool in the radio tower scenes but in the scenario we blow them up for some reason....Maybe we are the bad guys here?, Something. 2, I would love a way to save our completed cars besides towing them behind us forever. After the 3rd or fourth completed car dragging behind me, I just started screen shotting them and abandoning them. I don't know how it could be done since we are forever moving forward and making it make sense as to how your car left behind got ahead of you. Maybe when you start a new game and use a car you completed, it starts completed. I mean the idea of finishing a car and starting a new game with it only to abandon it for a different car or complete it again is...."meh" Multiplayer: Sometimes I'll start a new game and open it for multiplayer just to have some random people join just to have some fun....BUT that comes with nothing but griefing in my experience, People will join and RPG my car or outright steal it and drive off or strip it for their own cars. The kick / Ban system does not work properly, I have kicked and banned many people and they just immediately rejoin. Again, Love the game so far, cant wait to see what future development has in store.

"Drive Beyond Horizons: My Car Has More Personality Than I Do I bought Drive Beyond Horizons hoping for a zen road trip through a vast, beautiful wilderness. What I got was a crash course in vehicular homicide, resource management that would make a prepper sweat, and a car that despises my very existence. My typical gameplay loop: The Great Start: I carefully assemble my rust bucket, feeling like a mechanical genius. "This time," I tell myself, "I'll find all the parts and build a true beast!" The Open Road: I'm cruising, admiring the scenery, thinking about my life choices. The Inevitable Catastrophe: I hit a rogue pebble, my engine explodes, a wheel flies off into the abyss, and my painstakingly collected spare tire decides it wants to become one with a cactus. Now I'm stranded, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but the sweet whispers of my car's dying groans. The Search for Salvation: I spend hours scouring every abandoned shack and dusty roadside attraction for a single bolt, praying for a miracle. Usually, I find 17 rubber chickens instead. The Rage Quit (or Relog): I log off, defeated, only to come back 10 minutes later, because apparently, I'm a glutton for vehicular punishment. Pros: Immensely satisfying when you do manage to get your car running smoothly for more than five minutes. The open world is vast and begging to be explored... if your car lets you. The customization is surprisingly deep, letting you build the car of your dreams (that will inevitably break down). Multiplayer is a fantastic way to either bond with friends over shared misery or realize who the true mechanical savants are (it's never me). Cons: The physics engine has a vendetta against anything resembling a straight line or structural integrity. My car's parts have a secret club where they discuss ways to spontaneously detach. Finding fuel and parts often feels less like an adventure and more like a desperate plea to the gaming gods. I've screamed 'WHY?!' at my monitor more times than I care to admit. Overall: Drive Beyond Horizons is a beautiful, frustrating, and utterly compelling exercise in vehicular masochism. If you're a fan of survival games where your greatest enemy isn't a zombie, but a faulty spark plug and a suspiciously aggressive rock, then buckle up. You're in for a wild, breakdown-filled ride."

Was enjoying the game but the anti-modding sentiment the moderators of the discord are showing are giving me awful vibes for the future of the game, I don't recommend it. Update: The Backrooms event is buggy and a piece of garbage

A bit of a warning of what you won't see on YouTube videos about this game, due to YouTube content restrictions: This game focuses very heavily on bodily fluids and urination. You can create a game where your character doesn't have to eat or drink, but there's no escaping the continual need to urinate. They even show the yellow stream on screen. Come on, guys - is this 4th grade again? I just learned last night, from the game discussions, that the "drunk piss" (laying about in gas cans everywhere) can actually be used in place of gasoline. So if you really feel like drinking the various forms of alcohol which are strewn about in the game, you can (I guess) relieve yourself into your car's gas tank and drive on that. That's not really what I was interested in this game for. Nor for the multitude of sex toys which are strewn about everywhere. The pornography studios, the sex toys... it largely ruins what I thought would be a game about driving. Suffice it to say: the developers seem to have some real issues, and they go to great lengths to make you aware of those issues. I just want people to be aware of the perverted/porn side of the game that they don't show you in the advertising videos.

I bought this thinking I'd casually drive around some pretty landscapes and maybe customize a few vehicles. Instead, I've become a nomadic car-obsessed hermit who's personally responsible for deforesting entire procedurally generated continents while my vehicle collection grows faster than my ability to remember where I parked them. I now have 47 cars and can't find a single one when I need it. This game operates on the principle that the horizon is a lie - there's always another horizon beyond the horizon, mocking your progress and laughing at your fuel gauge. I've been driving toward the same mountain for 6 hours, and somehow it's gotten further away. The procedural generation has achieved sentience and is personally trolling my sense of direction. My vehicle customization addiction has reached clinical levels. I've spent more time in the garage than actually driving, creating automotive masterpieces that would make Fast & Furious directors weep with joy. I have a monster truck that can climb vertical surfaces, a sports car that goes 200mph but can't handle a slight incline, and a van that I've somehow turned into a mobile fortress with trust issues. The procedural world generation ensures I'm constantly lost in new and creative ways. Every biome transition feels like entering a completely different game where my carefully planned vehicle setup becomes hilariously inadequate. Desert specialist? Welcome to the swamp level. Swamp crawler? Enjoy the arctic tundra, idiot. I've developed an unhealthy emotional relationship with my vehicles. When my favorite off-roader got stuck upside down in a canyon, I didn't just flip it back - I built an entire rescue operation involving three other vehicles and questioned my life choices. These digital machines have more character development than most Netflix series. The dynamic weather system operates on the principle that nature personally hates my travel plans. Perfect driving conditions instantly transform into apocalyptic storms the moment I reach optimal speed. I've been struck by lightning 23 times, which I'm pretty sure violates several laws of probability and common sense. Early Access means I'm basically a beta tester with a severe car addiction, which is perfect because I can blame all my poor driving decisions on 'game balance feedback.' Yes, I drove my sports car off a cliff - it was performance testing for the physics engine, obviously. My exploration technique can best be described as 'aggressive tourism with mechanical disasters.' I approach every new area with the confidence of someone who definitely won't get their vehicle permanently wedged between two rocks while trying to reach that interesting-looking cave. Spoiler: I always get wedged. The day-night cycle has taught me that my navigation skills are inversely proportional to visibility levels. Daytime driving: confident explorer conquering new territories. Nighttime driving: scared child crying for their GPS while slowly rolling down a hill backward because I can't figure out which pedal is which. Hidden treasures are scattered everywhere, but my treasure-hunting methodology involves driving directly into every suspicious-looking object until something explodes or rewards me with shiny items. It's like archaeology performed by someone with the patience of a caffeinated toddler and the subtlety of a monster truck rally. I've accidentally created my own transportation network across the generated world through strategic vehicle abandonment. Every failed expedition leaves behind automotive breadcrumbs that form an elaborate museum of my poor decision-making. Future archaeologists will study my scattered car graveyards and weep. The wildlife encounters follow a simple rule: everything is either completely harmless or actively plotting my vehicular demise. There's no middle ground between 'adorable forest creature' and 'apex predator that treats cars like mobile snacks.' I've been hunted by digital animals with better tactical awareness than most players. Co-op mode would be perfect if my friends understood that 'careful exploration' doesn't mean 'launch every vehicle off the nearest cliff while screaming about physics.' Our group expeditions look like automotive demolition derbies performed by people who've never seen cars before. 10/10 would voluntarily become a digital nomad with severe hoarding tendencies again while my vehicle collection slowly takes over my entire existence. This game has taught me that the real horizon was the cars we crashed along the way. Now excuse me, I need to spend 6 hours building the perfect amphibious motorcycle for a swamp I'll probably never find again.

nothing

All my tires disappeared then I softlocked myself under the map with no way to get out at the end fight. Awesome game worth every cent
