Overpass Reviews
Overpass is a good concept, but it should’ve stayed in the incubator a little longer to make it truly a good game.
When it's fun it can be really fun, but when it's bad it can be really frustrating.
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.
There just isn't enough feedback to the player to get a better grasp of the necessary mechanics.
There is a lot to like about Overpass. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of issues.
Overpass is an awkward, ornery racing game that stubbornly refuses to indulge your need for speed and instant gratification.
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 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.
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 is a great addition to the genre, adding a new type of challenge and will truly test the bond between man and his machine.
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 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 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.

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.
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.
Overall this was a fun title that I enjoyed my time with.
Overpass is a challenging game, being the biggest challenge convincing the players that their obstacle are fun to overcome.

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