Poly Roam

Otherwise it's nice little game it makes you waste so much time. You need to grind for idols that are requiered to find the bosses and you need to grind for the right biomes where the bosses appear. These depent also on luck. I had to go for so long to find the final boss idol and the for so long to get a swamp biome to fight it. It did have tons of resourses and I wish I could have bought the idol sooner (possible but luck dependent) and buy my way into the right biome. At it's current state the game feels like the developers don't respect you or your time as a player.

Abandonware. Had potential, but now that potential has been squandered. This game and The Long Drive are even the reason I call this type of game a "Longroam", something a bit more open than calling it a road trip game allowing for more than just cars. I'd say Raft is a Longroam, for instance. This game [i]does[/i] have some unique and interesting mechanics. One that I really liked was the ability to shrink down cars and even [i]buildings[/i] into items you can carry with you. This allowed you to easily bring spare vehicles along and the stuff you placed into a building would shrink along with it, including storage containers and their contents. You could carry a warehouse full of supplies and backup cars in your pocket complete with decorations and NPCs for stuff like upgrades. You also had a house with a yard that would reappear in every new biome, and anything you put there would stay there so you could basically build and customize your own persistent checkpoint. I'd love a more competent Longroam game that does these two things especially. The issue is, the game does get repetitive after awhile. There's a few different biomes but you quickly start encountering the same ones repeatedly, and some like the swamp are not very fun to drive through. There are some other issues as well, such as the upgrades requiring you to drive huge distances for minimal improvements. The NPCs have AI voices that sound terrible and annoying when the text by itself would've been just fine. If you want a Longroam that's better with a developer who's actually intent on supporting it, I recommend Endgame: Road to Salvation.
