Time flies when you're driving. It's somehow already been a year since Pacific Drive launched and became my favorite survival game of 2024. And in those 12 months a whole lotta people have gotten behind the wheel: according to publisher Kepler Interactive, the driving survival game has sold over a million copies.
I'm not really surprised: with Pacific Drive, developer Ironwood Studios have created the best car in videogame history (I know there may be objections to this statement, but I am steadfast). Somehow, an unassuming station wagon becomes not just a loyal companion but a quirky, speedy tank bristling with sci-fi gizmos, the result of excursions into the weird and creepy exclusion zone filled with bizarre anomalies.
