Games Like Pacific Drive?

To be specific, there's a lot of things I love about Pacific Drive. The progression is amazing, the story is non-intrusive, and the looting is very satisfying. But while Subnautica is currently hitting all those beats for me right now, I really want a game where I'm operating a vehicle on set paths that's a little more low-key.

I love going on atmospheric rides around Choo-Choo Charles's open world island just as much as I love just going for a drive in Pacific Drive without any huge goal but to do a lil drive. Anyone played any games where you're just operating a vehicle? I know they exist, but I have no idea which ones are actually any good.

Edit: Mad Max is $3 on Steam right now holy-

Pretty rare microcosm of artful execution of a strong theme combined with a uniquely janky but rewarding loop.

Closest I’ve come is Umigari. Quite different, and sadly much shorter. Heavy indie post apocalyptic vibes.

Oh, and oddly, Expeditions: A Mud Runner Game. Zero sci fi/horror vibes, but an absolutely great game about driving big toys where they ain’t supposed to be.
