I loved this game.

 

It absolutely oozes atmosphere, and that kept me hooked longer than the game play loop did. Even though most of the maps are procedurally generated, they still manage to look gorgeous. Driving along a cliff side overlooking a valley during sunset looks stunning, and driving through an abandoned town during sunrise can be hauntingly beautiful. The game can also be quite creepy when you're traveling through the forest at night time with pouring rain, and some sort of anomaly stalking you just outside of your light's reach, only being illuminated when lightning strikes. While you're driving you also can turn on your car's radio - though sometimes you might pick up something you'd rather not hear, it's really great stuff.

 

The story is just ok, game play is serviceable and can be addictive for a little while, but the atmosphere is second to none.
