Mini Review: Can’t Drive This (PS5) – Chaotic Fun That Ends Too Quickly

The truck that couldn’t slow down.

There’s an interesting concept behind Can’t Drive This. Developed by Pixel Maniacs — last seen with 2017’s ChromaGun — imagine Speed, but someone set the Bus route with a real-time level editor, and you’ve got the idea. Designed as a co-op experience, player one drives a customisable monster truck, while player two sets the course layout. If you drive too slowly – or fall off the course – the truck explodes.

As the builder, you’ll be given predetermined tiles to ensure the driver reaches their goal, which can be rotated as necessary. This starts with basic squares, ramps, and curves, before throwing out obstacles like speed boosts and flaming rings. Tile placement is key as if you get it wrong, that can block your partner’s path.
