The music aspect of the game is highlighted as a significant and enjoyable feature, particularly for those who appreciate casual driving experiences with friends. While specific music choices and sharing options are limited, the inclusion of real radio streams enhances the atmosphere, making it a comforting backdrop for conversations and scenic drives. Overall, players find the combination of music and social interaction to be a delightful and relaxing experience.
“It would be an amazing way to connect musically since it seems like an important aspect of a night drive.”
“There’s something oddly comforting about having real radio streams as the background soundtrack to your talks.”
“As a non-gamer, but a lover of casual car drive sessions with music and friends, this is soooo good!”
“I couldn't get any specific music choices unfortunately, so sharing music was not happening. The ability to create mix tapes and share them in the car with people would be so cool, and then maybe you can share the mix tapes so that they now have it in their playlist.”
“Nothing very in-depth to talk about. It's a really cool game (or non-game) if you just want to listen to music and drive. If you want to talk to someone and listen to some music while driving and enjoying a beautiful landscape, buy it. The good ones from the radio stations are already there, but I definitely couldn't add others.”
“Drive around while chatting with your friends and listen to music.”
