Drive.RS : Open World Racing 4+

Some suggestions

First off, just so we’re clear: this is a pretty good mobile racing game. However there are some issues and suggestions that I have. The suggestions: the drift cars are a good addition, but I feel like if you added non drift variants of them it would not only expand the collection of cars but also not make it feel like I’m being forced to use a drift car. Another solution for this is to expand the range of customization on the cars, such as camber, body kits, ride height, spoilers, and so on in the customization menu., and I feel like that would be the better option, as you could allow players to decide if they want it to be a drift car or not. I know you can change the ride height and camber during free roam but others may not and as a result never find it. The only real issue I have is with the car selection menu, mainly the feel of it. The car dropping from the sky to me doesn’t really make it seem like a game that would be from a console, but that is only my opinion, nothing more. All in all, this is a great game, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Edit: keep the live tuning thing. I am starting to actually like it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the good review, and your comments are fair. I thought it was OK to have designated drift cars and cars to race or just free roam - but you're right, some people might love the look of the drift cars but not necessarily want to drift. I'll think about implementing your suggestion.

I agree we could do with more cosmetic customisation. We put so much effort into the core of the game, the physics, the world etc, that we haven't been able to really nail the customisation side of things. We'll get there eventually. And maybe yes I'll put ride height and camber etc in the garage to make sure people don't miss it.

Regarding the garage, I thought it was fun having the cars drop and bounce, but perhaps you're right that it doesn't quite fit the overall tone of the game.

I know most of the updates so far have been tweaks, bugfixes, QOL features, but we do have more exciting updates in the pipeline ;)

Cheers.

Good

This game is pretty good, the graphics are amazing, the only ads are if you want like extra rewards, but a few problems that I suggest are:

First things first is that I really want motorbikes. I’ve always been looking for a free roam, motorbike and car ad free, multiplayer game, and I still haven’t found one. So I really hope for motorbikes and dirt bikes.

Next is that I want to customize you character. I’m real life, I’m a 15 year old boy teen, but then in the game, I’m a mid twenty year old woman. So I really recommend that. And I also wish that you can get out of your car.

Next is the towns/villages/cities. I really hope for that because just mountains and valleys and dirt roads are really starting to get on my nerves 😳.

Last thing is multiplayer!!! Before I got this game, I read the update history, and I saw something about the multiplayer update; but that thing that said that update was like 3-4 months ago, but I still just can’t wait for the new multiplayer update!!! (I really hope it is like the next update or soon) but yeah. The multiplayer recommendation is the one I wish for the most, but that’s about it. Over all, I give this game a 8.9 or a 9.2 out of 10. Please, PLEASE 🙏 make the updates soon! Thanks so much for making this game.
Your gamer,
Oliver

Fun for car enthusiasts

I just wanted to commend you on your description of the game, it really shows someone who put time and effort and a lot of care into creating a game, and the wealth of information you put in is rare to find these days. As for graphics and gameplay, I have no complaints, everything runs smooth, and you included a wide variety of popular cars I love seeing in mobile games. I really like the three different control options it gives you in the beginning for more experienced drivers. Anyone who is into cars would appreciate the care and effort put into this project. Well done, awesome job :)

Thanks for the great review, I'm glad you appreciate the work that went into the game. We tried to put as much attention to detail as possible into the physics, upgrade system, and huge map etc. We're working on updates all the time, a city is coming soonish as well as multiplayer. And I'll be further improving the upgrades and tuning system soon, with drivetrain swaps and engine swaps etc :)
