What that reward is, is something you’ll have to find out! The last one of the collectibles are the hot dogs, but I’ll have a word about these in a section bellow. Now, diamonds do not provide you with extra lure, but there is a reward for those who manage to collect all 100 of them. One of the other collectibles are the diamonds of which every single level has at least 1 diamond hidden in them. However, you can figure out in what levels a specific data pack might be in by checking the “collectibles” tab in the menu. Not every level has data packs – it’s not directly shown what levels have them. Data packs are the most interesting ones in the game as picking one of these up will provide you with some lure and this will especially be interesting for those people who are really into the game and who have played the prequel, Dimension Drive. As you play through Aeon Drive, you’ll come across 3 different collectibles: Data packs, diamonds and hot dogs. Collectibles | Yes, I am one of the few people who actually enjoys finding collectibles and in this game it’s no different, apart from one collectible.Every now and then I even hummed as the music played in the background! You don’t necessarily come into contact with these objects during gameplay as they are still somewhat in the background but they do make an animation as you walk past some of them, which is a really nice touch! Besides the visuals, I loved the retro soundtrack in Aeon Drive! The soundtrack really reminded me of the classic Mega Man. The background of every area is beautifully made and is even fully animated! Not only is the background animated but so are the objects you come across. One time you’ll be running in the city, the other you’ll be at the beach hoping to get home some day and enjoy some hot dogs. As you race through the neon-colored landscapes of Neo-Barcelona, you’ll come across 5 different areas. Graphics & Music | The visuals in Aeon Drive are breath-taking.For those who would rather have a peaceful experience, there is the option to disable the timer and this may come in handy when obtaining the collectibles.

Collecting 4 of these will allow you to add an extra 5 seconds to that timer to increase your odds of being able to finish the level in the alloted time. In order to get some extra time, you can collect time capsules. As mentioned before, you must beat levels in 30 seconds or less. One important thing that I haven’t mentioned yet are time capsules. Objects range from lasers, switches, breakable walls, saws, and much more… More of these objects appear in levels as you progress through the game. When it comes to enemies, there isn’t really a lot of variation, there are a lot of different objects, however. Gameplay | At first, it seemed kind of lame to add a 30-second timer to the game, however, it did in fact make the game far more fun and challenging! Jack has a power sword, which she uses to defeat nasty robots, and a teleportation dagger, VERA, which she uses to teleport quickly from one place to another.This game is also available on Xbox One and S/X, PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch, Steam, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
