The music aspect of the game is highlighted as a relaxing and immersive experience, perfect for casual drives and social interactions. While specific music choices and sharing options are limited, the inclusion of real radio streams adds a comforting backdrop to conversations. Players appreciate the chill vibe and the potential for creating and sharing mix tapes, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The concept of just relaxing and talking with other people around the world while driving and listening to music is phenomenal.”
- “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. However, 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.”
- “If you want to do something while listening to music, podcasts, or video essays, then this is the perfect complement.”
