The idea of constantly repairing and improving your car while driving through dangerous territory is awesome, and this game executes it well. Everything is so tactile and requires you to manually move pieces throughout the world using your tools. (I actually think this game would be incredibly cool in VR for that reason.)

Unfortunately, the mechanics of maintaining your car are not enough for this game to stand on. The gameplay loop is interesting at first, as you collect the many different resources the game requires to craft different parts, but by a certain point you realize that the entire game requires you to drive somewhere, loot, repeat. The atmospheric horror starts out strong, but the lack of any real threat makes it forgettable by the end of the first act. Most of the anomalies are lacking in flair, like electric clouds or buzzsaw in the ground, and all of them are extremely easy to avoid once you understand how they work.

This game is missing something key, whether it be a tangible threat or another system stacked on top to make the car system work that much better. This system would work well if incorporated into an FPS or survival horror game with an actual monster chasing you. Imagine how much more terrifying a chase would be if your car suddenly decided to conk out, and you had less than a minute to fix it. I wanted to love this game but its just missing something key that's holding me back from diving into it.

Balatro nails that perfect balance between completely skill based and purely based on luck to makes it impossible to put down. You have to get lucky to win but getting lucky isn't enough. Winning in this game is like making luck bend to your will and propel you forward into a win its so perfect. It also nails the desired aestheic of being a blackjack machine in the far back corner of a casino but also fucked up and twisted. Love this game

Has some pacing problems but is so fun and captures so well what makes co op games fun and interesting. Has so many fun ideas and great level design that keep the game fresh. Unfortunately the bad ideas grind the game to a halt and make ot difficult to continue. Not to mention the fact that another player is required which adds rhe extra headache of planning when to play. Had a great time but not likely to revisit at least not for a while.
