Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The Gameplay and Music fit so well together, the angled up perspective seems odd at first but it quickly becomes second nature to read markers coming in with how well everything is tied to the Level and Song.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Overpass consists of 32+ main levels and each one truly has its own charm, whether it's the level design itself with their interesting patterns (which get even more interesting when you throw the optional lamps scattered across each level into the mix), on-point visual effects that get triggered on certain note hits, and overall beauty of the 8 vast landscapes, the music in said levels composed by synthwave Makeup and Vanity Set, evoking moods of relaxation, empowerment, triumph, mystery, and zestfulness, or more appropriately, both level design and music working together in perfect harmony.

The graphics are very nice and play very well on the vaporwave theme.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Speaking of customizability, your futuristic vehicle is capable of leveling up from all the data points you collect and gaining all sorts of neat unlockables such as new skins to differentiate the looks your notes and HUD, colors for previously mentioned notes and HUD, engines that can affect gameplay, and lenses which affect how each object/note appears including hiding the markers altogether or playing the level while driving BACKWARDS.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Performance-wise though, as of writing this review, it seems to struggle keeping up in environments such as the forest and city, as some of my friends who are just now getting to play it are experiencing, and I also had a number of framerate issues when streaming the game last week, so optimization isn't quite there yet, though I know they're actively working on it, so hopefully it won't be that way for long.
