The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and ability to enhance the driving experience, with many players enjoying the licensed tracks available through creative commons. However, some users express a desire for a larger selection of songs, especially given the lengthy driving sessions. Overall, the soundtrack complements the beautiful visuals and open-world exploration, creating a relaxing atmosphere for players.
“The other part of this experience that is front and center is the music.”
“The level of beauty is amazing, smooth music and changeable weather while driving on mountain roads or straight stretches; it's mind-blowing.”
“Open roads, free-flowing valleys with decent controls and some beautiful music which makes you just want to play endlessly until you start to feel drowsy.”
“If anything, I'd also like to see more songs added to the radio since you can expect to be driving for upwards of fifteen hours to earn one of the achievements.”
“No objectives or goals, just driving down a straight road while listening to music.”
“This would allow us to really 'veg out' and if we want just focus on maybe changing the music or moving the camera if we want to?”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with a score of 5.9, as players find the mechanics unorthodox and repetitive, lacking features like gas or fuel systems. While the driving mechanics and overall aesthetics are appreciated, the gameplay experience could benefit from more variety and refinement.
“The music is great, the view is amazing, and the driving mechanics aren't bad.”
“I kinda understand why it was done that way, but it's not breezy at all because nobody else does it like this, making such a pivotal mechanic unorthodox.”
“Becomes repetitive very quickly; it would help if it had additional features or mechanics.”

The graphics of this endless driving game are highly praised for their impressive aesthetic quality, featuring unique effects like rain falling from distant lightning. While some users speculate on the role of Unreal Engine in achieving these visuals, the developer confirms that AI was utilized for conceptual ideas, which were then refined to create the game's distinctive look.
“There are not many endless driving games, but this one stands above them all graphically and aesthetically.”
“Graphically, it's impressive, but I have to wonder how much is just Unreal working its magic versus this dev. An example is seeing the rain falling from lightning in the distance; it's such a neat effect, and I don't see it often in games.”
“The developer states that AI was used for conceptual ideas, referenced while the dev reworked the graphics to suit what they were looking for in the game.”

The atmosphere of the game is praised for its pleasant and relaxing vibe, which stands out in the gaming landscape. Players express a desire for additional biomes to enhance this enjoyable experience further.
“I plan to drive around a bit more as it is very pleasant and provides a chill atmosphere that isn't common in gaming. I'm also looking forward to new biomes being added, which I believe the developer mentioned they were working on.”
