✦ AI summary

Route8 is a casual anomaly-spotting driving game that players find entertaining enough for a low price, with a charming if rough premise that appeals particularly to those seeking a relaxed rather than challenging experience. The main criticisms center on its ease of play, unpolished translation and voice acting, technical bugs including persistent achievement issues, and brief playtime, though fans of the genre appreciate the variety in anomalies and the ability to replay scenarios.

it's too easy and most of the anomalies are boring

Straightforward story of anomaly game. LOVED 10/10

Whether this is a recommend or not depends very much on what kind of player you are, I would say. The game is very easy, even if you are not particularly good at games in general, or good at anomaly games in particular. The anomalies are very easy to spot. In many cases they will be directly in front of you, blocking your path. Your only real chance of failure is convincing yourself that some poor graphical artifact is an anomaly. If you are looking for a challenging anomaly game this isn't for you. You'll breeze through it immediately. It's a bit buggy as well. The sound has disappeared for me, in game. I'm not alone in that. Despite it's very clear shortcomings, I enjoyed my very brief time with it. The concept of driving and horror is a good one. If, like me, you are happy enough to spend a dollar or so and play a short experience, then it's fine. If you're hoping to find a challenge or a cheap, but longer lasting game, avoid. The game is cheap, and very cheap on sale. I would only buy it on sale, no matter who you are.

This game is bugged. There are 2 achievements that don't unlock even after the developer said that they updated the game to make them functional. There hasn't been an update in nearly 2 years, so it probably won't ever be truly fixed. The game itself is okay as a concept and there are funny moments, but a game that's this broken shouldn't cost money. I can't recommend this at all until it actually gets fixed.

I got this on sale, but having finished it, would have happily paid full price. I'm actually considering waiting for it to go OFF sale and buy it for a few friends, to be honest! My wife, daughter, and I all really enjoy playing Anomaly Games. This one, especially for the price, was incredibly enjoyable for all of us. Really fun and interesting Anomalies (some obvious, some minor), the ability to replay through any Anomaly you've beat (to show off to a friend or re-live it), and a multi-tiered ending (you need to go through the loops multiple times to unlock the full story--if you can call it a 'story'). The translations are pretty bad, the voice-over is certainly no exception, but it is all quite understandable and actually quite charming in its own way. There is definitely some jank, but the only one that is really frustrating is when you reverse the vehicle (or hit into something) and it locks the car into a vertical angle, making you suppose that, "my tilted car is the anomaly." Note, IT IS NOT. Other than that, this has no more or less jank than other indie titles and the ones it has, certainly aren't game-breaking in any way. The 3 of us unanimously agree: Having played Ex…

Fun enough, my wife and i enjoyed it. which is on its own a plus, aside from that, i was on edge enough to make it feel fun. anomalies weren't too hard to spot, some translating issues, from korean? i'm guessing. didn't last me too long, but then it was a pound when i bought it, so .....can't complain. would play more from this developer in the future. getting all anomalies took me just over an hour, because i got stuck on one anomaly where you press spacebar rapidly. if i was scoring it, i'd give it a 3/5 for what it was, in its genre.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
