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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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

I really wish i could recommend this. I gave the game chances after chances but in the end this is just too unfinished and too buggy to enjoy atm. Allthough monitoring shows my CPU and GPU are nowhere near their full occupancy the performance is absolute abyssal no matter what graphic settings i choose from the limited options. Going as low as 15 fps after 50km or so even with the game set to "performance" and half the renderresolution. But still i tried to turn a blind eye here with the game being in early access and all. Until the many smaller and bigger bugs broke me. Sometimes entire locations and buildings are empty. Absolutley nothing spawns. Which made me and a friend turn the location occurance to the maximum in the end. And so the magic kinda got lost even more. Another problem is that my friend had to load back in time and time again because all his stuff was missing sometimes or the road was gone for him and items glitch and relocate themeself constantly. The Demo ran far far better and we thought we give the actual game a try but at this stage its unplayable. Maybe in sometime when it gets updated we will check it out again because we really want to like this. But with a heavy heart i cant recommend spending money on this atm.

Lacks content + made by french

no one will read my review so ill just say im gay

This game feels more like it's still in the alpha stage. It's not worth playing at the moment game needs polished and more content. This game should've been around the 9.99 mark not 25. 4 different building types, too easy and lacks a challenge to make it worth playing. Better off playing the long drive. Save your money and wait for them to update this game more or to lower the price. The stuff you put in your vehicles doesn't fall out either

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

Overall great game to just pass the time on. There are some technical issues that need to be resolved here are some I have personally encountered: 1. When loading a previous save, vehicles may not load, duplicate items are created which causes some collisions (hauling a trailer will cause a second trailer to render in the same place causing a rag doll effect) 2. Hitting Invisible walls in the middle of the road, even at lower distances traveled, can cause player to be ejected if not wearing a seatbelt, 3. Rendering issues and tearing which lead to FPS drops. (RTX 2070 super, not sure how old this graphics card is but have no issues on other more graphical demanding titles such as fallout 4, cod, delta force, etc) 4. Some sound issues minor at best but extremely noticeable when wearing a headset, sounds like a stutter/static (tested headset to make sure it wasnt just the headset, no difference regardless of wireless connection or wired headphones.) it does resolve itself most of the time without having to reload the game. 5. In game lighting can have an effect on the parts highlighter causing some yellows to almost look green and vice versa Something that would be neat to be added would be like an album or collections tabs for the cars that have been completed in game, yes steam has the achivements but something in game to look at or to show case to friends would be awesome. Hopefully more cars/trucks/suvs. etc will be added over time without a paywall unless its some sort of colab vehicle. But overall fantastic game

absolutely TRASH unplayable and wont even refund me my money back

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.
