It’s not on sale, but I had already decided to pick up Pacific Drive before I knew the sale was happening.
Also picked up Party Animals as a couch party game, and Outer Wilds as it’s been on my list for ages now.

Pacific Drive is cool but it feels very drawn out and repetitive.

I’ve only played it a bit so far, but it’s been enjoyable fwiw. I’m pretty into looters and survival games, though, so if that’s not your bag, I can see it seeming boring. I find arena pvp shooters repetitive, personally. Everyone’s got their own interests.

From watching other people play it, it seems like all you really do is drive from point a to point b while weird things happen. And occasionally random things break on your car.
Seems like an odd concept really.

Everything sounds boring if you describe it that simply.
While I generally just like survival and looting games, the setting and story are also quite interesting to me in Pacific Drive, and while I’ve only just started, the hazards are already becoming serious concerns in each level. I can’t say if it’s gonna be amazing or anything yet, but it’s been enjoyable so far.
If someone was into survival games much and liked the settings of games like Control, I’d figure it’d be worth a try.
