    If Overpass‘ events were a bit shorter, if you felt like you had more of a connection with your vehicle, if you didn’t get stuck so often, then it would actually be a decent game. As it stands, however, it’s rarely fun. Playing Overpass just made me angry, and I don’t like being angry. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall, repeatedly. It’s frustrating beyond belief. Why would you want to pay to introduce that feeling into your life?

    A profoundly boring racing game that initially holds your hand, then tears it off and eats it. Overpass is too hard, too irritating, and just too damn loathsome an experience to recommend in any way.

    This hardcore off-road driving sim is focused and compelling, but just a bit too austere for its own good.

    Overpass. I went into this eyes closed. I enjoy racing games, however I am very poor at them, Overpass was no different. My first mistakeOverpass. I went into this eyes closed. I enjoy racing games, however I am very poor at them, Overpass was no different. My first mistake was not fully appreciating the fact this is more simulator than game, as such the complexities of racing truly off road, in a forrest, or around a quarry or even on the beach soon dawn on me. With incredable detail put into the driving aspect of this game and how to tackle each terrain and obstacle you encounter, from a lowly rock, to a great big muddy slope. I did eventually get to grips with the mechanics and found myself natually switching between 4WD, Diff, and 2WD and not so rev happy as I normally would have been. As such I honestly believe in the hands of somebody used to sim racing off road this game would make great gaming, however for more casual gamers, beware, the learning curve can be infuriating and confusing, this not arcadey. My only real critical points of note for this game would be this game felt more suited to 3rd person viewing, with "cockpit" view being very awkward and not as a nice experience as with other racing games. Finally, I found the water effects somewhat lacking, in regards to puddles and the shore etc felt somewhat static and only movement was spray from rear tyres, no side splash, no ripples, just felt in all the game needed something more. Overall a solid entry into this genre and a good addition for any hardcore racing sim enthusiasts and anyone who wants to put their racing skills to the test.… Full Review »

I had high hopes and it’s a complete let down. The obstacles are near impossible and it’s nearly a miracle to even finish a race. I’d never waste money on this game and I suggest you do to either. All that comes with this game is pure frustration… Full Review »

Actually I don't like racing games too much but this one feels like Colin Mc Rae Rally on the first Playstation - and that is great. Overpass demands a little patience and some practise before success and satisfaction can be attained. But after a somewhat rough start it is very satisfying and rewarding. Mastering courses and vehicles sometimes feels kind of like beating bosses in Dark Souls. Unfortunately the game got many negative reviews. I think that the reviewers did not have the time and will to test Overpass properly. It is actually a really good game with an unique approach to the genre. I like it a lot. Only the annoying screen tearing on XBox one X has to be fixed.… Full Review »
