Overpass
In Overpass the player takes control of powerful buggies and quads, scrabbling across extreme tracks and very hazardous terrain. This simulation, unique in its genre, pits the player against craggy slopes and puts their cool-headedness to the test throughout technical obstacle courses along wilderness tracks.

As a genre, racing games are tried and tested — it’s a bit of a treat when a game like Overpass comes along, and is trying to do something a little differen
Overpass is an interesting take on the racing genre with its focus on defeating the track rather than speeding past competitors. This is what first intrigued me about Overpass; a driving game where the track is the puzzle and your solution is the physics. I had the chance to talk to a representative from Zordix Racing at E3 2019 and he expressed they wanted to make a true to life sim of off-road driving. While they mostly nailed this, there are some massive issues that muddied up the tires.
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?
