Condensing it down to its core this is a game where you’ll meander through spaces collecting batteries and shapes to unlock new areas for meandering through more. If that doesn’t sound terribly exciting it really isn’t. It has much more in common with an adventure than a racing or action game, you just happen to be controlling a car. I use the word “controlling” loosely though since despite the rate of movement being pretty limited your car turns like a bit like a school bus. Throw in very oddly low gravity which makes you float as you fall and it just feels very odd. Despite the controls being strange and not very responsive as long as you pace yourself and try to account for them they don’t sink the game. The real issue is simply that it’s dull. You’ll drive somewhere to get a shape, a new area will reveal itself, you’ll try to remember where you saw that before and drive there, lather, rinse, and repeat. There’s an attempt at an odd story of this land you’re trying to restore and how you got involved but it, too, is just not terribly interesting. Given the pacing perhaps it would work out for a more casual audience since it isn’t very demanding but as a package Car Quest is a bit of a clunker.
