Overpass

Lovely and quite underrated rhythm game, it's got such a distinct aesthetic that really sets it apart from other games of its kind. It's tough to follow at first, but as you play more, you pick up on clues in the environment that can tell you which direction to press before you even see the note. There's not a ton of content, but the way the game is structured takes advantage of that, in a way. To find songs you haven't played yet, you need to go through songs you *have* played. I often found myself enjoying them way more the second time around, since I had much more experience at that point. The game shamelessly leans into its aesthetic and benefits a ton from it. Highly recommend giving it a try if the music sounds appealing.

It's a fun game. If you can look past the performance issues, I'd say grab it. Overpass is a pretty unique rhythm game in terms of gameplay; one that can get a bit overwhelming at times. But, hey, that's part of the fun, right? The game seems to want you to play with a controller since it uses controller scheme by default, so heads up for that. The editor seems pretty intuitive - I still have yet to fully delve into it and make my own custom maps. However, from what I've played of community maps, you can do quite a bit with it. It's a shame the community is mostly inactive nowadays - I'd love to see what crazy things people would do with it nowadays. The performance issues near the final levels of the "Discovery" mode (basically the campaign) are straight up horrendous at times. Very noticeable slowdowns that affected my timing. The game also loves to bombard you with a million different objects at once, making it incredibly hard to register anything. Recommendation: go into accessibility settings and set "Object Density" to "LOW." It'll put an annoying icon on your HUD, but such is life. Overall, I do recommend the game; maybe you won't have the same issues as me. I don't see anyone else bringing the performance issues up, so maybe it's just something wack with my setup.
