When asked, "if you could only play one game for the rest of your life; but it'd always be updated and/or online, what would it be?", I chose Pacific Drive.

Though it has its shortcomings, most significantly when it comes to its loading screens and lackluster procedural generation, this game filled a desire I've had for a long time.

A game where you drove through a post-apocalypse.

This wish of mine came from Watch Dogs, with one of its digital trip minigames, Alone. Driving through a desolate and abandoned city coated in fog created an enthralling experience for me, and I finally got to experience that again, but fleshed out as a full game of its own right.

When its demo came out, we had sought out ways to continue it, using any bug or trick we could to break beyond its limitations. And we did. We were able to constantly play through the same run and progress, limited only by content not yet added.

I played the demo for 50 hours. I hope to play the official game for much, much, longer. Thus far, I'm impeded only by having a life.

I am happy to have found this game. I am happy it was made. It even came out just days after my twenty-first birthday.

To me, Pacific Drive is a soulmate in digital form.

Very few other games contest it.
