Drive Me Broke

Recommended, but with quite a few things to improve The game has a really good concept and a lot of potential. I like the combination of driving, repairing vehicles, exploring, and the different activities available. However, during my first few hours, I ran into several issues that made the experience quite frustrating. Some of the main problems I encountered were: * The keybinding system is very limited. It would be important to allow players to customize practically every control. * Having to use Enter to get in and out of vehicles is quite inconvenient, especially when the key cannot be properly remapped. * I had problems with the needs system, particularly when trying to use the bathroom. * I wasn’t sure how the save system works. I exited the game and, when I came back, my progress had been reset. A clear indication of when the game saves would be very helpful. * The starting motorcycle got stuck inside a crate, and I couldn’t find any way to get it unstuck. A vehicle recovery or reset option would be very useful. * The introduction to the NPCs and the story is too limited. The game starts giving you tasks from characters you barely know, and it’s not very clear who they are or why you’re helping them. * The text-based NPC conversations took me out of the immersion. Voice acting, better animations, or simply a more developed introduction to the world could help a lot. * I also tried the farming system. I was able to plant the seeds, but I couldn’t figure out how to use the watering can that was nearby. Some guidance for these mechanics would be helpful. I think many of these issues could be solved with better tutorials, clearer instructions, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes. Despite all of this, I don’t think the game is bad. Quite the opposite. I think it has a very interesting foundation and a lot of potential. The driving, vehicles, repairs, and different activities make it feel like there is a really fun experience here. My recommendation would be for the developer to keep working on the controls, bugs, save system, interactions, and introduction to the world. If these areas are improved, I think Drive Me Broke could become a really enjoyable game.
