    Obsessed with Pacific Drive these days. The gameplay loop of exploring and gathering resources to go back and work on your car to go out and gather more resources is really well balanced.

    Really liking the transition from the start where everything is scary and dangerous to later where you understand how to interact with the anomalies, and get a feel for how dangerous they are under which circumstances.

      I bounced off from it when trying it on release. For some reason I had a lot of stuttering and it made the game feel nauseating, but I liked the gameplay. Not sure if that was a problem at release or my hardware has some issues. Other games seems to be ok, and my gpu is definitely not that bad.

        The performance seems to be a bit weird. It’s a pretty game, but not insanely so, yet the Steam Deck reportedly can’t run it properly, and my own new pc works hard when the shadows are at the highest setting.

          Yeah it’s strange. I like the style, but it’s not like it looks crazy fancy or anything. And still I couldn’t run it properly on my computer.
