#DRIVE

I don’t usually leave reviews but I just want to share that I love this game. I have played a lot of endless runners, they are my favorite type of phone game because playing them helps me relax and focus when I’m listening to a podcast or trying to think. There are lots of endless runners that lose their appeal very quickly because they have little variety, a very low skill ceiling, or never update. This game has beautiful and unique graphics. There are dozens of cars to buy and each stage you can unlock is has a unique appearance and features. My favorite is Japan because it is much more challenging than the other stages. Some people say that it takes a lot of grinding to unlock anything in this game, but I disagree because there are inexpensive upgrades as well as expensive ones. I don’t mind playing for a long time because I find it so enjoyable as I mentioned above. The controls take time to gain proficiency with but that makes it more satisfying when you become better. Overall, I really love this game and it’s become my go-to whenever I have a free minute. I check for new updates all the time and I hope this review helps the developers see that people love when there is new content! Thank you for this great game!

#DRIVE is an endless driving game with simple yet addicting gameplay. The player controls a car driving down a generally straight road, with obstacles such as other cars and buildings. There are several bottle caps you can find on the road which function as the game’s currency. You can use them to purchase new cars, colors, and upgrades such as speed, grip, acceleration, and coolness (I still don’t know what that does). There are also gas stations which refill your continuously depleting gas tank and donuts that you can throw at the cops chasing you. The character who is driving also has short lines of dialogue that add a little bit of personality to the game. The visuals are very clean and overall great. The game at first seems a little hard to control, but after a short while it isn’t as difficult as it once was. I’ve read a lot of reviews complaining about ads, however they only show up about every 7-8 crashes and take 5 seconds to skip, unless you want to revive and watch a 30 second ad. I think this game could use a few more modes, obviously more features would be coming later on, but for now, it lacks the depth that most free mobile arcade games do. Overall, I think it’s a fun little time waster, especially when you’re on the go and have no internet connection.

I was in desire pursuit of a game boasting endless enjoyment including content that I can (1) play offline, (2) play without lag and (3) escape the common desires of p2w player impression, and this game satisfies my desires perfectly. As far as gameplay proceeds, I was at first suspicious about how strange the controls were, but once I recognized exactly how they functioned, gameplay was seamless yet seriously challenging. Maps and cars are loaded with features and just the sheer variety of events that take place on the road are both eye-witnessing and some are even hilarious (example being picking up a donut and throwing it in the cop’s face and then being ruthlessly pursued by who knows how many cop cars…😄) Regarding all the enjoyable thrills of this game, the fact that it can be played offline, and the dead simple controls, I without doubt recommend this game: it’s a clever blend of casual driving, humorous humiliation of the npc drivers around you (the snowplow power up) police chases, and varying environments all in one.
