“I really wanted to like this game, the art style is amazing and the physics engine is consistent. However, the controls are just too finicky for a rally game, especially at low speeds. I shouldn't have to fight to…”
“Please don't let the reviews from people who are bad at the game stop you from dining on this juicy buttery steak of a game. One of the most enjoyable and addicting games I've ever played. HIGHLY recommend. And if rally…”
“Insanely intuitive driving system. I love the way different surfaces feel, i love how the cars will have higher torque lower in the power band, which makes slippery surfaces perform better at lower rpm which is accurate…”

“It's a big dive into the beautiful aspects of rallying, with a very unique gameplay and artwork. A special shoutout to the soundtrack, which is a match made in heaven with the overall feel of the game.”

“AoR has consistently been my go-to "turn my brain off" game for a while now. I've spent a good few months slowly making my way through the groups, playing a course here and there, and I never truly got bored of it. The…”
“Really nice and chill game, cool art style, and fun driving physics once you get the hang of it. It can be a little tricky at first, but It gets so satisfying when you start nailing turns. Great game overall, I would…”

“This game's physics, sound track, and art direction are incredible. Maps and stages are a lot of fun. Germany is relentless. We as a society need Over The Hill... PLEASEE”
“Different than other racing games I've played, lots of beautiful places to race with great music and challenging gameplay. Very well done!”

“Another game that highlights the need for a neutral option. It's okay - but NOT okay at the full price of $32.50 CAD. It is gorgeous and has a lot of potential - but the over tuned physics are too much of a headache to…”
“"art of enjoying bad physics - an art of rally review" "Why's the review positive when the title seems negative?" Well, cause the game is a good game. It's a nice parallel universe where Group B was never banned and…”
“The car is skidding way too much when you drive, to the point it's not fun to play. I wasn’t expecting that when I got the game — I thought driving would be much smoother and more chill, matching the overall design and…”

“This is a fantastic indie racing game. Beautiful and additive. Great on steam deck! I also play it on my macbook, it performs well, but there are some graphical glitches and missing elements such as crowds. I highly…”
“Fantastic game. Every time I missed a turn or spun out, I felt that it was my fault and that I would do better next time. The game has a steep learning curve but it never seems unfair. There is a bit of a stuttering…”

“Very fun driving/racing game. 100% a skill issue but the Germany tracks are the absolute worst, those headstone things along the side of the road are so obnoxious, other than that its a wonderful game”

“Presentation is top. Doesn't work with controller (for me), neither with or without Steam Input. Controls are absurdly finicky. You can crash out on a straight over a light tap of a button. The game often reset my car…”

“I love this game! I was looking for a nice-looking, low-effort casual driving game, as I'm the complete opposite of a petrolhead. Long story short: this game got me hooked on rallying. I'm now reading articles on the historical vehicles that inspired the game's cars, I've turned…”
— a player, Steam review · 45 hrs played“First 3 or 4 hours for me was trying to understand and get the hang of the car physics and controls. I dialled the controller sensitivity to my taste, turned assists off but left ABS at 10%, and kept struggling HARD. But then all of a sudden, I realise I'm chaining turns…”
