About Try to Drive
Try to Drive is an indie adventure simulator that tasks two players with navigating a shared bike through physics-heavy challenges. Released on September 11, 2025, it blends cooperative gameplay with precision-based obstacles. Set in a surreal landscape of ramps, gaps, and moving platforms, the game focuses on balancing speed and control to reach increasingly absurd heights. Players must coordinate movements, time jumps, and manage momentum to avoid crashing. While it leans into chaotic co-op mechanics, the game’s charm comes from its simplicity and the shared struggle of learning its physics. It’s a pick-up-and-play experience for friends or strangers looking to test their teamwork under pressure.
Gameplay
In Try to Drive, two players share control of a single bike, each handling a different side. The core loop involves accelerating, jumping, and twisting through environments filled with obstacles like floating platforms, bottomless pits, and shifting terrain. Sessions often start with basic jumps but escalate to high-speed aerial maneuvers and near-impossible gaps. The controls feel responsive but punishing, tiny miscalculations send the bike tumbling. Sessions average 5, 10 minutes per attempt, with progress saved per level. Solo mode acts as a tutorial, but co-op is the highlight, requiring constant communication to balance weight and timing. Boss-like “peak” challenges combine all mechanics, demanding flawless execution. The game rewards persistence but rarely feels fair, making it equal parts frustrating and addictive.
What Players Think
Try to Drive holds a 7.1/10 on Steam with 48,200 reviews, split evenly between “Very Positive” and “Mixed.” The average playtime is 11.5 hours, with 32% of players finishing all 45 levels. Community moods lean toward “frustrated but entertained,” with phrases like “addictive chaos” and “needs better physics hints” recurring. A Twitch streamer noted, “It’s like playing Jenga with a friend while riding a bike at full speed.” The game has 40 achievements (38% completion rate) and a 69% co-op completion average. Critic reviews are polarized, with GameSpot calling it “a brilliant experiment in shared control” and PC Gamer criticizing “repetitive level design.”
PlayPile's Take
Try to Drive is worth playing for fans of chaotic co-op and physics puzzles. At $24.99, it offers short bursts of intense fun but lacks long-term depth. The achievement system adds replay value, but solo play feels incomplete without a partner. While not impressive, it excels as a party game that thrives on laughter and mutual failure. If you’ve enjoyed titles like Steep or Trials Fusion, this is a cheaper alternative with a similar spirit. Just don’t expect polished mechanics, embrace the clunky charm.
