In stark contrast to the growing number of survival games, “Pacific Drive” distinguished itself as one of the top survival games of the 2020s due to its unique emphasis and real-time gameplay mechanics. Players find themselves in solitude, navigating an anomaly-ridden exclusion zone located in the American Pacific Northwest, primarily relying on driving, enhancing, and safeguarding their battered station wagon for survival within this zone. This vehicle-centric gameplay experience sets “Pacific Drive” apart from the plethora of foot-based survival games that commonly define the genre, earning it a dedicated fanbase, over a million sales in its debut year, and nominations at The Game Awards, along with plans for a TV series adaptation.
