BeamNG.drive review
BeamNG.drive
BeamNG.drive is a 3D driving simulator with realistic physics and very good graphics. This review is based on the trial version.
It is possible to choose from a variety of vehicles, including passenger cars, SUVs, vans, semi-trucks, and buses. All vehicles are very nicely modeled, from the exterior to the interior.
BeamNG.drive also features a large number of tracks, which are mainly located in the US. There is also a race mode, where you can compete against 7 computer-driven cars. The driving physics is very realistic and it is possible to drive with many different control methods. The steering wheel, gamepad, and keyboard are supported. The graphics are stunning. All vehicles are very detailed, from the exterior to the interior. The sounds are excellent.
Gameplay
In BeamNG.drive you can drive any vehicle you want, create your own tracks, and do all that you can imagine. It is a very interesting and motivating game. The game allows you to drive a truck, a bus, a police car, or a fire truck. You can drive any vehicle you want.
The game is a sandbox game. It is a nonlinear game. The game is very open. You can do whatever you want. You can drive where you want, you can drive as fast as you want, you can do whatever you want, you can do everything you want. You can also create your own vehicles.
Graphics
BeamNG.drive has good and realistic graphics. It is worth noting that this game is created by a very small team, and the developers did a great job. In general, the graphics of this game is similar to the graphics of the game Euro truck simulator 2. If you liked the graphics of the simulator Euro truck, you will like the graphics of this game. The designers of the game have managed to create a magnificent world of large cities, where you can drive on a variety of roads.
Replayability
This is a sandbox game, so it is highly replayable. You have a ton of different vehicles, which are all basically different when it comes to driving physics. There are also different map options, like time of day, weather, landscape, etc. I don't have an exact number, but if you were to replay the game 1,000 times, you probably won't have the same experience.
I think the game is a bit repetitive in itself, I feel like there are a lot of the same type of vehicles in the game, and the game world is the same, but you can't really compare it to something like CS:GO, which is in a different category. If you want to have a fun time playing the game, you need to get a vehicle that suits your style. Then you can upgrade it, or buy different cars and have fun with them.
You will probably get bored with the game if you want to play it solo, and there is not a lot of story involved, but it is honestly not a bad game. I think it is a pretty good game for what it is.
Conclusion
In general, this game is very interesting. Even though there is a lot of content for the game, I feel like the game should be a bit more complex, maybe it will be in the future. The game is good, but I feel like it could be better.
BeamNG.drive is worth trying, the game is free, and you can download it on Steam.
