What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
DriveWave is a free racing game that players praise for its surprising depth, variety of game modes, and frequent updates from a passionate developer, though opinions are divided on its appeal and some technical aspects. Common complaints include extensive grinding to unlock cars, inconsistent car balance, unclear mechanics like the nitro system, and small text with potential window resizing issues, plus concerns that the soundtrack may be AI-generated.
Most likely all music in game is made with AI. Would've been a pretty okay game though.1 found this helpful
I have no idea whats going on, but I had a smash-the-keys drag race and I LIKED IT. Free? PFFFFFFT dude If I can play smash-button drag-race, I'm over the flippin' moon.
🚗 Recommended — Great Car Collection, Terrible Patience Test 😂 I'm already at 52% of the achievements, and I've tried Rally (still haven't managed to finish it 😂), Drag Races, drift missions and more. There's a surprising amount to do in DriveWave, especially for a free game. But seriously, unlocking everything takes FOREVER. I want to build my dream garage, not spend the next three business years grinding for every car. 😂 Car balance is another issue. Some sports cars feel massively stronger than others in speed and overall performance. Different cars should have different strengths, but some gaps feel way too big. My fastest car so far is a Formula that reaches around 317 km/h. Not bad, but I expected a Formula to be an absolute rocket. And nitro? I'm still figuring out how to use it properly. Apparently, I need a degree in rocket science just to go faster. 😂 Despite the grind, I still enjoy collecting cars, upgrading them and trying the different events. I'd just love faster progression, better car balance and a clearer explanation of nitro. Recommended. 🚗💨 Just bring patience — you'll need plenty of it!
zoom zoom. nostalgia. time attack. cool dev. 11/10.
The developer obviously put so much love into this project, the depth and variety along with the frequency of updates make this a steal, and its a free game??
It's a funny desktop companion, with music and car livery modifications. Text is pretty small though and when I resized the window, I couldn't move it with the mouse anymore and had to force-quit. Not sure how I feel about it detecting keystrokes though.
