Overpass is a sport game that offers local and online multiplayer modes for up to 2 players. The game features realistic terrain physics and authentic vehicles from manufacturers like Yamaha, Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Suzuki. To win, players must master technical tracks, manage acceleration and differential options, and deal with vehicle damage in extreme off-road environments.
- The game offers a unique and challenging off-road experience that requires strategy and patience, making it rewarding for players who invest time in mastering it.
- Visually, the game features diverse and high-quality environments, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
- The physics and throttle control mechanics are nuanced, providing a satisfying sense of realism for those who enjoy technical driving.
- The physics are often criticized as unrealistic, leading to frustrating gameplay where vehicles can easily get stuck or flip over without clear reasons.
- There is a lack of content and progression systems, with only two vehicle classes and no AI drivers, making the game feel half-baked.
- Many players report issues with controls and camera angles, which detract from the overall experience and make the game difficult to enjoy.

Overpass Review – Stalling Out at the Starting Line
Overpass tries to satisfy a more thoughtful approach, blending puzzle elements into a racing game. But it offers little to appeal to fans of either genre, leaving a game without much of an identity – or purpose.
40%Overpass review – Sisyphean slaloms
Overpass’s unique physics system and emphasis on balance might be enough to win over the most dedicated of off-road racing fans, but its shallow progression systems and monotonous gameplay loop greatly limit its appeal.

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.
