My Summer Car

My Summer Car

This game is among one of my all-time favorites; over 1,000 hours played and counting, I just love it!

This game is so packed with realism, like paying bills, electrical safety, and car inspections, that the realism is the real draw here. It’s the realism that motivates you to keep playing, it’s the realism that makes the game a large puzzle to navigate, it’s the realism that gives you a relatable connection.

The amount of work, stress, and wide variety of fluids* you’ll put into the car will add to your fondness for the car. Yes, this low-powered, aging, and dripping one-of-a-kind Satsuma will become a genuine beauty in your eyes, I guarantee it.

Fixed up the Satsuma, passed inspection, slapped plates on it, got pulled over, and gave a breathalyzer test. To just then have the checkpoint, my Satsuma, and me plowed through by the green car with booming subwoofer; killing all of us. 10/10 would play again!

The Long Drive

The Long Drive

Relaxing. Fun and satisfying physics. Satisfying car handling. Freedom of exploration, and medium freedom in car setups and mixing of components. Someone said is more like a tech demo at this point. While it can definitely be defined that way specially due to the very sandboxy setting, it can be way more than that, depending on your approach to the game.

While definitely not for everyone, its the perfect game for goofing around, RolePlaying, or just relaxing with the driving sim mechanics after a long work day.

Overall, great driving game.

Discover vehicles, install and combine parts.

Updates are occasional but devs surely keep working on the game.

If you’re tired from action and want some chill drive, with some podcasts or audiobooks on the background, this game is for you.

THE CARS

There are 4. Two are simply re-skins of the other two. As you move up from one car to the next there is an increase in performance over the previous ones. However, this will depend on you using your winnings to purchase upgrades. Your damage is reflected in a health bar, but doesn’t alter the way your car looks.

UPGRADES

There are three upgrade paths. Speed, Controls, and Armor. My first impression was that this game controls poorly, but you will see an improvement as you upgrade Controls.

This is a goodish game for mobile but the port for PC is rather lame.

Jalopy

Jalopy

Jalopy is already a lot of fun to play in its current stage. It’s a small and simple game, not one you’ll likely play through an entire night’s session (although once I almost did), but one you’ll probably want to come back to again and again for another quick round or two.

There are many cute details that make it different from most other driving and racing games in existence. First of all is, of course, the titular car you’re driving. It’s an old, ramshackle and unreliable car that is quite unpredictable and takes a lot of maintenance. While other games might have you perform chip tuning, adjust your gear ratios or put some embarrassing neon lights on your car, you’re going to be dealing with much more basic stuff here. Hope you’ll make it to the next gas station with that popped tire, adjust the oil-to-fuel ratio for your two-stroke engine, or decide whether you’re going to sell your air filter so you can afford an extra can of gas for the road, just to be sure.

Version 1.0 but feels like Version 0.1

**In short:

  • Buggy

  • Lacking Content

  • Menial

  • Buy on sale ( 50%)**

Introduction

Jalopy is a game most car enthusiasts and gamers alike will enjoy, should it be properly finished. The player takes the role of a nephew charged with the task of taking their Uncle on a journey across the fallen USSR in an old ‘restored’ Liaka 601 (Trabant 601), collecting various (sometimes prohibitied) loot found on backroads and highways to keep their car running and their wallets packed to book hotels; and buy upgrades. Jalopy has an interesting and somewhat unique experience to keep players entertained, just a shame its very short and has little replayability; with the added ‘bonus’ of bugs present throughout.

I didn’t expect this to be good. It is not. A student university project. It probably got an A, but you wouldn’t even play it for free.

I don’t like how you can’t turn off the volume I feel that you should add a volume changer then that way I can listen to my music without the car noise behind it.

Zombie Derby: Pixel Survival

I’t a well made game, but is to much mobile like for a pc, the most anoying is the inconsistent regeneration mechanic that usually makes the player wait for up a a hour before next try ( for 5 minutes of game play) making me frustrated.

By far the grindiest of the three Zombie Derby games. I thought #2 was bad for this but Pixel Survival is a whole new level! More levels and more vehicles would’ve been welcome rather than SSDD and a graphics spruce-up.

Play the first one and forget this and the second game, it’s more of the same but feels like a massive waste of time because you’re not unlocking anything worthwhile or different.

Alaskan Truck Simulator

Alaskan Truck Simulator

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149620/Gas_Station_Simulator/

Get behind the wheel of a mighty truck and jump into the boots of the Alaskan truckers, challenge and be challenged by one of the harshest and dangerous environments.

Alaskan Truck Simulator is a unique game that blends the well-known simulators’ classics with the ruthless environment of Alaska and elements of survival. Buckle up, we are about to set off for the proper adventure!

What comes to your mind when you think of Alaska? Endless wastelands, towering peaks, harsh winters, and sunny spring-like meadows. Alaska is a unique place to explore. How to do it better than driving a truck across the entire state? Experience changing weather, vehicles’ behavior on snow, cross the uneven roads, and find out how is your truck’s condition affected by harsh climate or the driver itself –this is just to name a few elements of the game.

It would be a dreamy world if you could carelessly drive around Alaska, but let’s be real, you need these bucks to fuel your truck and feed yourself, ain’t you?

Let’s start with a few cargoes. In order not to take the fun out of driving, while progressing in the game you will gain access not only to the better trucks or equipment but also to the more challenging missions. Anyway, no matter the prestige of your mission, always drive with cautious as you may lose your cargo, damage your truck and finally, end up with debt instead of earning.

You are here for a bit of adrenaline too, right?

We want to show by our game the bond between man and the machine, what shows it better than exploring the basic needs of both? You will need to pay attention to the stats management as well for yourself as for your vehicle. Hungry, tired, out of fuel or with a broken tire - take care of all the difficulties you can encounter on the road!

Among many features:

  • Dynamic weather system with Day/Night cycle

  • Vast interactive environment to explore

  • A dynamic economy based on jobs, ranks, and performance

  • Survival system

  • Useful knowledge to gain and mysteries to discover

  • Crafting, upgrading, repairing

  • Multiple roads, routes, and wastelands to conquer in your truck

Bloody trains

Bloody trains

Ask for tickets, check for bombs, clean the train, Do all sorts of other duties - sometimes people die, sometimes you die. Bit of a mind boggle of a game with crazy unique art.

How to make heads or rails of Bloody Trains…?

I purchased this software on artistic merit alone, feeling an instant affinity towards the aesthetic. i fell aboard blindly, ready to chugga chugga woo woo. The controls are simple — the instructions are non-existent — you’ll scratch your head, it will blood, and you will like it. Although confusing, the lack of direction is not a setback. The simple controls allow for intuitive gameplay, and the smartly designed symbols and signage within the game do unfold with meaning as you progress. This is the perfect game for anyone who likes to think and frown before figuring out a satisfactory gotcha or aha! It may not be for you if you prefer to be spoon fed.

UNDER the SAND - a road trip game

UNDER the SAND - a road trip game

Note: this review is written for FullRebuilt#7

There are few games out there quite like Under the Sand for me, save for maybe Glitchhiker, though that game focuses more on a spiritual experience. Under the Sand, on the other hand, as it stands with the lastest full rebuilt version at the time of writing, offers a story-lite experience that encourages the players to weave their own experiences on a lonesome desert road. This is also what separates the experience from games like American Truck Simulator, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but also found wanting for a sense of wanderlust.

DISCLAIMER: I am trying my best not to put too much bias into this review, and just give you the features and state of this game.

It’s a game with potential. the creator has seemed to have abandoned the project though. I have had a lot of fun with it anyways. I can’t really compare it to jalopy or the long drive, because I haven’t played either of them. I do think that if there is a large sale on this game, you should get it. otherwise, don’t. I find this to be an easy game, after 2 or 3 in-game “days” or drives between motels I had enough to buy the topper, and then it’s smooth sailing from there. if you want more difficulty, go for a different road trip game like the long drive. if you just want a slightly challenging, but peaceful way to pass the time during the quarantine, go ahead and buy it. some people say that it’s a scam, and I don’t think that they are wrong, it’s a half-finished shell of a game. But I don’t think it’s a complete waste of money. you get the game, and it works. The thing that makes people think it’s a scam is the fact that the developer has abandoned the project, but still has sales on it. I got this game 50% off for $2.50. and I think that that is the price it should be sold for normally. It’s not worth 5 dollars by any means. I hope the guy behind this game picks it back up, but I’m doubtful. I don’t think it has controller support, at least I couldn’t hook up my wheel. One final note, because this game has so little in terms of content, it runs quite well on low-end computers. I play this on a PC that crashes if I open CS:GO and uses onboard graphics. I hope you all stay safe and healthy through this difficult time and have a great day.
