PAKO Forever Reviews

by 2648264739

Basically the game is designed to line up police cars at you, which will eventually destroy you in under 30 seconds. There are special locations that spawn right outside the main road ways, if your lucky you might hit just one before you get swarmed. The steering is bad enough where if a car spawns in the wrong place your as good as dead no matter your abilities or skills (as the game was designed to do). What I have no idea is that while the platform is very good, it is a complete waste of energy since a few corrections could do wonders. If the designer simply added more options and extended the survival time I would be excited to actually spend money to purchase something similar or at the very least watch some of the videos, as of now I’m more inclined (and do) to simply force close the game. All of the vehicles are similar enough where it doesn’t feel like there is much difference (out side of the school bus). If a player manages to achieve the necessary skills to get one of the more advanced cars, the player will find out that the cars are almost identical and do not add to game play. This begs the question: is it worth even playing at that point or are there better options on the market at this point. As of now I am not yet convinced to spend money purchasing games from this developer, perhaps in time their designs/programming will improve. They have potential.

I don’t usually write reviews but this game forced me to. This game has so much potential. It’s fun. It really is. The problem, just like many have pointed out, is that it’s entirely based on luck. Does a cop spawn directly in front of you? If it does, you have ZERO chance of surviving. The chase is great. The cops are faster so you have to evade them. It’s really fun. Until on spawns and shoots straight at you.
All it would take to make this immensely less infuriating is for all spawned cops to have a second of invincibility. So if they spawn directly in front of you, they’ll pass right thru you instead of killing you immediately. They’ll do a 180, turn on, and start the chase. Come on developers, make the game about skill and not luck.

As of right now this game isn’t really worth playing. It would however be made much better with some minor changes. First, the issue of new cars spawning in front of you and killing you with no time to react needs to be addressed. Cars that spawn in like this should either star with very low speed, or should have some indication like an arrow to indicate they are about to come from the side of the screen. Additionally, I think it would be more fun if the police cars destroying you depended on the component of their speed opposite the direction of your own. I.e. if a police car bumps you from behind while you’re at full speed, you shouldn’t blow up, but maybe lose a little control or speed. Finally, there needs to be some indication of how long a power up lasts. Either a timer or some animation that plays when you have only a second or two left. The developers need to stop focusing on releasing new cars and quirky map features and instead focus on fixing the core gameplay, which at the time is very flawed.

I like this game but changed are really needed, beside a few cars, they are all the same(beside size obviously) but even at that the cop cars will spawn in places where you literally have nothing to do and no matter the level you will die, if there was maybe any sort of customizable changes towards cars or upgrades or really anything that tweaks with the cop cars or maybe cars that can have more lives and where cop cars don’t spawn in impossible positions where you die no matter what... I would love to support this game because it is pretty fun but as of now it’s pretty dead considering I can’t get anywhere past 1 minute 30 because of the impossible spawns with cop cars.

I want to love this game. I really do. Its fun and the bones are there. I like dodging vehicles and the intense feeling of pressure as time progresses. However i have felt very limited in what i can do to avoid being stopped once it gets to this point. I understand the concept and its suppose to be simple and appeal to casual gamers, with the two left and right controls. I dont think thats the audience who would appreciate this game in its longevity. To be frank, the game is actually quite challenging, and i like that. But, instead of being a test of skill, it often winds up being a test of luck, one where you are often very unlucky. In short, the changes i think this game needs to make in order to be a truly great game are..

1. Speed level control - So you can slow down when need and not run into parked cars or objects
2. Better handling - this also goes in hand with your speed level. All too many times a stray cop comes flying in at full speed on from a blind side and we are left with little options as they kamikaze you to your end
3. Health meter - if i do happen to bump into a parked vehicle or tree in my only effort to evade police i dont want it to be the end of my game unless i crash full on

Cop cars have spawn protection when spawned in, and can be spawned in just out of frame. There is no player spawn protection after a power-up ends. Double-tapping to activate power-ups is far worse than having a dedicated button for it. Seriously, you can tap anywhere on the screen to steer. You have room for a power-up button. The camera angle is cute, but way too zoomed in given the speed and bloodlust of cop cars. The AI of random events is too aggressive to be "random" and feels more like it's deliberately trying to kill you instead of actually being chaotic. The Grid power-up is suicide, as it wipes all the obstacles in the area and spawns a new army of cop cars to swarm you. The drone power-up doesn't destroy cop cars as quickly as other sentry-type power-ups, which makes receiving it randomly a sad event. Since none of these problems will ever be fixed, at least give players a permanent radar power-up.

This game would be so good, if it was actually a “car chase” simulator as it claims to be. When you ARE being chased, it works great. You have to swerve around obstacles to try and get your pursuers to crash into them - and each other.

But then at any point in your game, be it 5 seconds in or 59 seconds in (right before hitting that record needed to unlock a car), a cop car will just come barreling in from off-screen, head-on, full speed, with absolutely no chance of being avoided. And if it’s a police van, it’s invincible for the first second or two so you can’t even use a power up on it.

The game just decides when your run is over, and there’s nothing you can do about it to extend your run. And that’s not fun.

I find myself playing this a lot more than I thought pretty fun having to not get in a crash with the place. The controls are really simple and easy to use, the police are extremely persistent and do seem to come out of nowhere sometimes As I’m sure in real life it may seem as well not that I know. It can be a wonderful escape from your every day chores or life. I do like the fact that when you do drive farther in the parking lot that There are other obstacles and stuff that comes after you like a giant toy with hammer thing and giant Beachball I’ve been cursed a couple times by. I will totally encourage more of my friends to check it out, I’ve got two so far addicted as well.

The game is great, I have bought the previous ones and loved them, this however is fun but there are things that annoy me when I’m playing like the way the cop cars that are in front of you go full speed into your car and you can’t react quick enough. I have had some good runs ruined because of a car that is charging full speed at me. I don’t have enough time to react and I end up losing because of it. It would be better if the cars that spawn directly in front of you were a little bit slower, that way they can’t ruin your run. Overall great game though

by Yoslobro

First and foremost a power up use button. I hate having to double tap to activate a power up cause sometimes it doesn’t work and I die sadly at the 1.25 minute mark.

Additionally, you should get rid of direct oncoming cop cars with high velocities that are impossible to avoid. I think it dumb not able to see whats coming and your driving right into a car going top speed right into you. Maybe increase the dimensions of the screen to give a slight chance idk to see incoming cops with full velocity. If it weren't for these two things this would be a hands down 5 star game.

I honestly love this game. But I think it would be cool to make an entirely New map update. this map will be a demolition derby where you drive around crashing into other cars and whatnot in a medium sized arena, in this gamemode there will be boss fights! you can fight these bosses by defeating every other car in the arena, the bosses will all be unique. For example, a robotic t-Rex, a robot Venus fly trap on wheels, a mechanized shark, a small machine that stirs up dust and smoke and creates tornadoes (which could be dodged). and the final boss could be the president in his mecha limo. I know this update sounds crazy and complicated but I think it would really make the game better.

This game is a wonder to play. It’s a great time for any type of player. One of my favorite things is how short u can make the games. Let’s say it’s ad break or something but u don’t have 5 minutes to play a round of another game like clash Royale, u play this game. It’s also got a lot of diversity in maps with different quests you can do like killing the big bear in woods, or the big car in the night mall map. Also there is a car for every play style which makes it super fun. The only con I would say is how badly explained or not explained at all some aspects are. Such as warp zones. Before I beat one for the first time, I was very confused what they were, since there was no explanation. And it’s like this for a ton of things like the big bear and car.
8.7/10

Needs Maps

So, I got this game a couple months ago and it’s really fun and addictive. There are cool cars and power ups, but I really think that if you guys could add different maps, not like the winter version or whatever but like different parking lots and stuff. I also think it would be really great if there was a reward system like coin or whatever so we could get second lives.

Cause I rage so hard when I’m at like 90 seconds and then a tank and a flame ball come at me at once and I die. It would really be appreciated if you could take these things into consideration. Otherwise the game is great and fun. PS ADDS ARE ANNOYING! But I get that that’s how you get money out of the game sooo, do what you gotta do.

I believe the cars should have more than one health, and also... like.. referring to other’s reviews I think that it would be great if you guys added a few more aspects from your previous PAKO game which I truly adored, like the racing in the rally map and so on. I also think something that would very much add to the game is the cops bring in more support (I.e. like the military, more swat vans etc.) when you make it past... maybe each star level? Idk, it would be a fun addition. I see lots of potential in this game and I bet the community would love to see additions and improvements to make the game maybe even more profitable(?) otherwise, amazing addition to the PAKO family and I love it. :) thx TreeMenGames

I like this game a lot. Levels have unique obstacles and layouts, which you can use to scrape off your pursuers if you’re clever. Each car handles differently enough to be noticeable, which forces you to adapt your driving. A fast car will let you outrun cop cars at the risk of losing control in turns, while a slow car forces you to outmaneuver the faster cops on your tail.

I really like that the game gives players a lot of room and incentive to improve. Detailed stats are tracked for each car, so you can always play with a different car when you’ve plateaued with another. My overall top time is just over two minutes, and I’m enjoying trying to hit that with different cars. A great game to kill a few minutes.

Dear creators, me and my brother absolutely LOVE this game!! It is really fun with all of the vehicles and power-ups, and how there are different maps you can choose from, now this is not a criticism review, it’s just a suggestion from a fan of this game, my request is that you would consider giving the UFO 2 lives instead of one, because, first of all, it is really cool and smooth handling, second of all, it is the last vehicle you can unlock (for now I think) so in my opinion it would seem kinda of cool to make the UFO have 2l lives, and I know that the second to last vehicle, T1TAN, is also extremely smooth handling and has two lives, but the UFO is one of my favorite vehicles to use, but I can’t even find the med kits easily, thank you for reading this and I hope you get this,

Sincerely,
PAKO forever fan

Before you read this review, I want to get something out of the way— A free game that has ads does not instantly make a game horrible. However, when a game is over 50% ads, to the point where you’re scared to tap anything for fear of an unskippable 30 second ad, there’s obviously a problem. PAKO Forever does not have this problem. Rounds of play can last from 1 second to literally 22 minutes (the highscore for the first level). Every 10th time you die, an ad plays. You will die a LOT the first time around. This is totally dependent on skill, with a splash of procedural generation. There are about 7 or 8 maps as of this review, 60-some playable cars, and a generous amount of Random Encounters and extra content. When combined with the genuinely enjoyable soundtrack (For a free game? Hoo-dawg), PAKO Forever is a game that I can genuinely get behind.

Despite what people are saying, “the game’s flawed”.... “you always get caught by cops”, it isn’t flawed. And the only reason you get caught by cops, is because you didn’t escape! It’s a hard game. That’s what everyone doesn’t understand. You are supposed to get caught by cops! But the objective is to see how long you can last without being busted! Great game. I haven’t encountered any bugs yet, yea the ads are a bit much, but hey, they are placed perfectly through the game. They don’t appear while I’m driving which is a win for me! Give this game a chance, whoever might be reading this. At first it’s like, “wait what....?” Because the moment you hit play, you have a cop right behind you. Your car automatically moves forward, you control it going left and right. My best I think was like— around 60 seconds of survival 😆. Give this game a chance! It becomes fun!

Theres not a whole lot to this game. You attempt to drive away from the cops in various vehicles until you eventually make a mistake or happen to run into an unavoidable collision. The music and graphics are nice and the game is really just a short quick play kind of thing, which I believe is the point, and is something useful for if you have a few minuets to kill in between events during your day. My average time for a run is about 40 seconds. There are secrets to be unlocked which get you more vehicles, which does add to the game, but I like that its something that can be played and finished with in a matter of seconds. The only thing thats a bit annoying are the commercials, which are usually about 30 seconds, but this doesn't make a big difference because when I come across one I just exit and restart the game which takes about 7 seconds. But if there was an option to pay a dollar to remove the commercials then id probably just pay for that. Overall the game is pretty short but its something that I have found to be useful to have on my phone for this very reason.
