One of the most refreshing aspects of the game is its focus on natural, unbridled driving without overcomplicating things. There’s no need to worry about excessive car maintenance or survival elements that detract from the joy of the journey. Your vehicle is reliable and fuel-efficient—you won’t be forced to use absurd amounts of fuel in just a few hundred meters. With a full tank, you’re capable of covering approximately 500 kilometers, leaving plenty of room for exploration.

The world of The Long Drive feels genuinely alive. When you spot a distant, towering mountain, you can simply decide to drive toward it. The terrain behaves realistically enough that, if you’re skilled, you might even have the option of climbing it. Every element of the vehicle is customizable as well. If you aren’t a fan of your car’s mirror setup, you can adjust them to your liking or even discard them entirely, even when you’re driving at full speed. The game’s attention to detail extends to the point where you’re free to lean out of the car, lean closer to the radio, or interact with almost every element around you.

Overall, The Long Drive encapsulates the spirit of true freedom on the open road. It’s a game for anyone who cherishes unstructured exploration and the pure thrill of the drive, offering a minimalist yet deeply engaging experience in a boundless desert environment. Whether you’re playing solo or enjoying the occasional cooperative or multiplayer session, the game’s simplicity and expansive design make every drive an unpredictable adventure.
