I too have played some Pacific Drive. It's a very chill game. But I will say that the discussion of it and the narrative really overplay how much time you are in the car vs doing other things. Sure you are looting stuff so you can build stuff for your car, but in a 20 minute gaming session I'm maybe in the car for 4 or 5 minutes.
I bounced off of it because I was expecting a sci fi driving game, but like you said it's mostly scavenging outside of the car.
I have that outer space rally game and that Star Wars racing game to possibly fill the scifi driving/racing game hole in my heart in the near future lol.
That upcoming game might be the first Star Wars thing I ever buy because despite actively being disinterested in a Star War my heart has craved a new burnout - with tracks please, I know people love Burnout Paradise but it's not for me - for decades at this point and it's apparently that but space bikes or whatever from much of the old Burnout team.
Open world racing games were a mistake lol. I still like them every now and then, but man it's a bummer when Forza is just Horizon now.
