Ever wanted to pile up your toys and make your own crazy track for an RC car? Obstacle Overdrive basically turns that childhood idea into a whole game. You’ll explore room after room filled with tracks that look like the kind of stuff you’d probably get yelled at for making in your house. And yeah, parents are definitely not included.
You’ll need to get used to controlling each car while taking on all kinds of weird and challenging obstacles. There’s no need to rush either, so you can take your time and figure out the best way through every track. As you keep playing, you’ll unlock different cars, and each one has its own personality and driving style. The fun part is trying to beat every level with all of them.
The tracks are full of random stuff to mess around with. You can tumble down hills, knock cars around like bowling pins, drive across seesaws and log bridges, survive marble pits, and deal with plenty of other obstacles. There are also fun hats hidden around the levels that you can put on your cars, while coins let you unlock different paint jobs to give each car your own style.
The whole game has this awesome 1990s vibe, taking you back to a time when technology wasn’t everywhere and you actually had to make your own fun. It feels like playing with toy cars in your house, except everything has turned into a giant obstacle course.
Obstacle Overdrive was designed with Steam Deck as the main platform from the start, so it’s built to run really well even on older systems. The developers tested it around keeping most tracks at an average of 60 FPS or higher on Steam Deck. Linux isn’t officially supported, but the game has also been reported to work through Proton on multiple Linux distributions.
