Overpass Reviews
Overall this was a fun title that I enjoyed my time with.
GREAT - Overpass is a blast to play if you enjoy playing Gran Turismo style simulation driving games and less arcade feeling titles. I would associate this one more with Spintires: Mudrunners than any other type of game I have played. If you enjoy ATV riding in real life or have always wanted to give it a go, but can’t, this is the game for you and a very good one at that.
I have raced many a game but Overpass brings something new and unique to the racing genre. If you have a FFB wheel give this game a try. If not, only off-road racing fanatics will find something here to keep them coming back.
OVERPASS is a technical, adventurous off-road, where the skill lies more in knowing the terrain than in sinking on the accelerator. One of a kind, dirty and fun, albeit with some technical burrs.

Overpass is a game as fun as frustrating, due in part to a complicated and difficult to master control system. It has a variety of scenarios and tests that will provide many hours of entertainment, but that if we are able to stick to the consequences.

Overpass is a difficult, demanding, challenging and at times frustrating game but it is just as true that at the same time it is tremendously satisfying and a lot of fun. If you pass the first hours and enter its dynamics, I am sure you will not regret playing what it possibly is, and I cannot find a better definition, the "darksouls" of car simulators.

Overpass is a great addition to the genre, adding a new type of challenge and will truly test the bond between man and his machine.
When you think of a racing game, thoughts normally center on head-to-head contests between multiple contestants, but there are other styles and Overpass slots into one of those alternate categories...
Overpass isn’t a great looker; it’s only an adequate player – if that’s an accurate descriptive. Playing it for more than half an hour at most still leave you craving for something more nuanced, interesting, and far more polished. However, this is likely to be the only experience like it for quite a while.
Overpass is a unique style of racing game with solid foundations, but it feels like there wasn't enough time or budget to give it the polish it deserves. That's a shame. There's a niche here which I'd like to spend more time in, but some of the frustrations run too deep for me to return anytime soon. Overpass remains a novel concept with some rough edges.
Overpass is an awkward, ornery racing game that stubbornly refuses to indulge your need for speed and instant gratification.
There is a lot to like about Overpass. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of issues.
There just isn't enough feedback to the player to get a better grasp of the necessary mechanics.
Overpass certainly adds an interesting take on the genre, allowing for well-trodden ground to feel fresh. Unfortunately the difficulty of the game and poor handling will prevent most from making it past the tutorial.
When it's fun it can be really fun, but when it's bad it can be really frustrating.
Overpass is a good concept, but it should’ve stayed in the incubator a little longer to make it truly a good game.
Overpass is a title that may appeal to a niche audience of off-road enthusiasts. The slower pace will definitely tire on those who prefer racing at breakneck speeds, but there is definitely something engrossing about it. The way it makes you focus more on the track itself and how each obstacle is its own puzzle to conquer is appealing. However, even the niche crowed of off-road enthusiasts won’t be able to overlook the physics issues.
The developers of Overpass have put in massive efforts to make the game's value as high as a Triple-A title. Unfortunately, the expectations were way too high and it didn't really fulfill the satisfactory level of implementations. There's definitely a demands for games that require you to put in endless effort and time into, but some of the game's achievements do not really justify the time you would invest into, nor provide further encouragement to continue on. At least this game is another gem in its genre due to its rarity between other similar titles. It serves as a good influence for any follow up games that are planned to be released in the 'racing game' genre family.

We hope, however, that in the future the team will be able to take the right path, because with some tricks and greater optimization, it could assemble a respectable racing game.

Overpass has something interesting ideas, but fails in the attempt of putting them all together, with a flawed balance in the difficulty and not-so-believable physics. It's a shame, because the game has a lot of personality and modes – yet, it feels frustrating.
