My recommendation for that is to get American Truck Simulator and the Oregon and Washington packs. It does a great job of capturing most of the scenery of the area in a scale you can easily consume, without stressful or tedious gameplay (unless you find driving in games tedious). If you’d prefer to drive a regular car instead of a truck, there are plenty of cars available in the Steam workshop.

This game good? I’m not a fan of survival or horror games but I am from the PNW, so does seem interesting to play a game version of home

Honestly I liked it initially but it got boring quickly, just generally the same pattern of runs.

I tried it for an hour, the gameplay was just starting to get past intro stuff and seemed interesting sobut I had just awful performance with my 1080ti. Bad enough that I refunded it. I do wonder if that got fixed by now, but not enough to try again.

It’s pretty okay. If you like the gameplay loop of scavenging parts to maintain and upgrade your car, and don’t mind the roguelite elements, it’s pretty fun, and it does a good job of creating tension–there’s been multiple occasions where I wanted to loot more but I was out of time and likely to die if I stayed much longer.
The world building is immaculate, but IMO unfortunately the plot doesn’t really pay off, and the ending isn’t… super satisfying. It does enough to drive you along (no pun intended). The best part of the game is easily the soundtrack, and the best song in the soundtrack is easily The Freeze.

From watching the opening I didn’t like the writing of the dialogue.

I absolutely love it. I also love that it takes full advantage of the PS5 controller on computer, driving feels amazing with the adaptive triggers and haptics. I don’t really play any driving games, but I love this.
