There are lots of games about cars, but Pacific Drive is different. What makes it stand out for me is the car itself – or, more specifically, the relationship you have with the car.
Is relationship the right word? I think so. Years ago, when I was due to give birth to my son, my car got an unexpected engine problem and had to go into the garage for a few days. I was genuinely worried I would not be able to bring my baby home in my own, very loved, car (which I had named The Beast). Even though logically I understood it would make no difference in the grand scheme of things, the thought of using a rental for such an important family moment really bothered me.
This is because my car was not just a means of transportation to me. It was a core part of my life, full of memories and adventure. I knew how it worked – I understood putting it into reverse could periodically turn on the screen wash, I was used to the buttons that occasionally got stuck, I knew I had to be gentle with the cup holder or it could unexpectedly eject a hot beverage all over the dashboard.
