[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1381440/80s_OVERDRIVE/]80's OVERDRIVE is an entertaining outrun-style racer that can be completed in just a few hours. If you're a fan of retro games like the one shown in the video, you'll find it satisfying, even though the gameplay is fairly straightforward. It definitely hits the nostalgic spot, but don’t expect anything too complex. The game runs smoothly on the [URL=https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck/]Steam Deck , but a quick tip: make sure to accept every mission offered to you. Otherwise, you may need to replay the game to unlock all the achievements! 7/10

This game is a retro game inspired by the game Outrun. In this game, you do races to get money to buy new cars, upgrades, and fees to do races. If you don't have enough money for the race you can wash the character's cars to get cash to make enough to do a race. There are missions you can do that are simple to pretty annoying like being in a certain position to get money. For upgrades, you can upgrade speed, armor, and steering. The game has races that are short to long. You can get nitro but are limited to 2 per race and radar that shows cops that are close to you in the race you are in. The cops when you go past them try to stop your car after a few attempts then leave you alone. There is traffic that can be hard to get past If you're in a race that has tight lanes. I beat the game, but the last race was really hard since you have to have nitro to beat the last race because it's impossible to win without nitro. The soundtrack of this game is pretty good. I have a few songs I like but that's the plus for this game. At least when you're doing races and need to restart a race you can do it as long as you like without paying a fee until you leave the game completely making you have to pay the fee for the race again. For other races, you need to get stars to progress in races by placing first place in the races. There are other things you can do in this game like time attack like the outrun series and making your level to try it out. I only did those to get achievements but that's about it. Best to get this game on sale since it goes for pretty cheap. I give this game a 7 out of 10. I hope my review makes you think twice about getting the game. Have a good day.

A kinda descent effort to modernize the OG Sega Outrun All in all 80's Overdrive gets my recommendation but misses the charm of it's predecessor. Campaign is extremely repetitive and "too easy" with its only highlight the final race. Driving is simplified without much need to slow down since the car feels railed to the road. Time attack which was very iconic and dare I say fun in Outrun, here is a mindless time waste without requirement for skilled driving. The pixel art aesthetic is what sealed the deal for me and for the generous 85% sale that this game goes nowadays, I can't complain. Also it's a pretty easy game to 100% if you're into that.

June 2024

Tbh, I'm a bit surprised and disappointed to see the less than stellar rating 80's OVERDRIVE has on Steam right now. I love this game, it is seriously an underrated gem. Are there ways in which it could be better? Of course, but that goes for any game, and It absolutely delivers on exactly what it says it is in the description on the store page. It looks and plays great on Steam Deck, and definitely reminds me of when I would play games like this on my Game Gear way back in the day. I highly recommend this 1, especially if you can pick it up during a sale you'll feel like you got a great deal for a great game.
