80's OVERDRIVE

70% chance you'll enjoy this; full price is fine at £8.99 but if you want it on sale, around £6.30 feels a good max for it (or whatever your currency equivalent is) Pros: + Solid gameplay with vehicle upgrades and a few vehicles to purchase + Plenty of races to compete in across career with side missions, time attack and a track editor + Good 80s vibe looking visuals in line with something like the old Outrun game or Slipstream, character portraits that "take inspiration" from the looks of 80s movie actors Cons: - Final race is a pain and requires you to be unnecessarily aggressive in blocking the opponent to have a chance at winning - Later races in career and time attack can become a bit long to complete - Side missions appear to be a one and done, so if your going after the achievements and fail a side mission but complete the race, you will need to start a new profile and wait for that mission to trigger just to try again

Crash, immediatly crash again because i am still inside the other car, then get pushed into a tree which results in a hard crash, wait to be reset. In the meantime i go from first to fifth place and lose the race. Now i don't have enough money to start another race. Who designs such trash?

classic outrun style game good in short bursts PS last boss is a douche

[h1]Base Game - 9/10[/h1] - [b]Retro graphics:[/b] Beautiful racing landscapes which fit the game perfectly. Only one exception - the final race is a little bit eye-searing. It's just one level out of many, so it doesn't affect otherwise excellent look. - [b]Authentic soundtrack:[/b] 18 tracks to pick from before each race, swappable mid-run. I would be glad to see an auto-play option to cycle through them instead of switching manually every time. - [b]Difficulty:[/b] Not hard, but not too easy either. A perfect balance for someone who enjoys racing games but isn't especially skilled at them. - [b]Career mode:[/b] Classic climb from the bottom to become the top racer. - [b]Time Attack mode:[/b] Race against a countdown, claiming back seconds by driving close to traffic. [h1]Achievements - 7/10[/h1] For 100%, you'll need to: - Finish career mode, get the first place in every race, buy and upgrade every car - Complete [b]missable[/b] missions (see below) - Hit 15 checkpoints in Time Attack - this is the only achievement I found difficult and time consuming - Own 1,000,000 coins (not just earn, but own) and spend 10,000 on fuel - both look grindy but aren't. One of the races in the end pays out 100,000 per run, and fuel burns even if you just idle. Both obtainable relatively quickly. The missable missions deserve more attention. It's a strange thing to find missable content in a racing game whose whole structure is to beat every level and reach the top. I got lucky and checked the achievement list before playing, though even that didn't warn me these were missable. My habit is to treat every game content as missable by default, so I caught them all anyway without any problems. Missions show up as a shady character who gives you a secondary objective in some of the races, like collecting floppy discs on the track, or loosing a race on purpose for cash, that sort of thing. They are easy to complete, but don't look as something missable at all. If you decline one, or fail it without restarting the race, it's gone for that save. Your only fix is a new profile and a full replay. The game itself is short and genuinely enjoyable, but not something I'd want to redo purely over something I missed. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] I had a lot of fun playing this game and definitely recommend it! I almost feel bad buying it at 90% off. I'd be glad to buy the soundtrack if it was ever released on Steam. Just be careful with missions if you want to get all achievements.

I actually think this game is a good game based on original outrun. I'd like to see the option to define keys as the Nitro button is completely wrong, and maybe a continuous game where you trace through multiple levels one after another to make the game play a little longer. This is really access, so I can't wait to see the final release.
