Jul 7, 2025At times, Star Overdrive's hoverboarding exploration can be exhilarating. Unfortunately, it's hampered by on-foot traversal that simply doesn't hold up. Platforming can be clumsy and punishing for a game that really pushes for leniency in other tasks. Combat can be simple but also lacks a consequence for failure. Even the wistful soundtrack is undercut by the rock accompaniment of combat. It's a really frustrating mix that comes up short.

Jun 27, 2025Star Overdrive shines when you’re on the board, delivering fast, fluid thrills. But clunky on-foot sections and weak combat drag it down, leaving a game that’s half brilliant, half forgettable.

Jun 20, 2025Star Overdrive is a gorgeous and ambitious indie third-person adventure game. It has lofty dreams of being Breath of the Wild with SSX-style hoverboard traversal. The exploration and board riding feel great. I loved the gameplay loop of travelling to new areas and gaining powers from dungeons. But the combat is way too simple, and obviously masked by a way too forgiving difficulty. A lot of the RPG mechanics are light and work well, but the hoverboard crafting system is an unexpected, overly complicated mess. There are a lot of interesting ideas in Star Overdrive. Even though they’re not all well-executed, I urge anyone curious to give it a try.
