Star Overdrive Review (guntetk)
I played the demo some time ago and have been waiting for the full release.
At times, it reminds me of the latest Zelda games, but it sets itself apart with one key element: the hoverboard.
Traveling through the desert on a hoverboard is already very satisfying, but the ability to customize the board completely won me over.
The board’s aesthetics are fantastic and upgrading it as the game progressed made it feel like the hoverboard was truly something I had built myself.
Even the combat, which initially seemed quite simple, turned out to be more complex and fun once the powers are unlocked.
The experience is more focused on exploration than I expected, but I really appreciated that.
The unlockable music is awesome.
I mostly played on Steam Deck and the game runs great.
It’s definitely worth playing.
