Each event is littered with obstacles and difficult terrain that can only be passed through careful driving. While these apply to most racing titles, they are completely useless in Overpass and will offer you no help. This means getting concepts such as following the racing line and hitting the apex on corners out of your head. It actually encourages you to take things slowly and think about what you are going to do, evaluating what is the best course of action. In Overpass, things are not quite as simple, with the emphasis instead put on trying to carefully navigate a variety of obstacles in the most efficient manner. After all, practically every type of racer will judge you on how quickly you can get to the finish line. Shifting the focus away from simply trying to go as fast as possible is an interesting take for a racing game. It’s a strange mix of Trials, MudRunner, and ultra realistic rally games that will constantly test your patience and concentration. Swedish developer Zordix Racing has flipped the genre around so that driving becomes much more about precision than outright speed. That’s largely because the game is not just about going as fast as you can, but rather making sure you actually get to your destination in one piece. Overpass is probably unlike any racing game you’ve played before.
