The Pacific Drive Deep Dive

Support the channel at   / charlatanwonder   I'm not sure if this game wasn't scary or if I've just done so many late night driving jobs that a giant floating grabber thing is the least spooky thing I've seen behind the wheel. Pacific Drive is a new game with a new twist on the survival/crafting stye of games and I'll just get it out of the way now, it's not an immersive sim. Yes, comparisons were make to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when all the trailers were out and we will get into that, but pacific drive is definitely an open world survival first and anything else a distant second. iPods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#/m...
