What's it take for a game to snare me? Over the Hill is a co-op (or singleplayer!) offroading adventure that launched on Steam this week, and even just playing a bit of it has made me determined not to just play more but to 100% it. That's a feeling I haven't had about a game in a while.
Here's what my brief excursion into Over the Hill has already shown me:
- A beautiful open world
- Weather conditions and a day/night cycle
- Sweet-looking vehicles
- Challenging driving physics
- Secrets to find
- Cosmetics to collect
- Vehicle upgrades to unlock
- Wildlife to photograph
I'll be honest, it's the last one that really got me to commit to hundred-percenting it. I was driving slowly along up a bumpy trail, stopping occasionally to pull my little Jeep up a hill with my winch, when I suddenly heard the familiar croak of a raven. I zoomed out my view and eventually spotted the bird flapping over the trees nearby. I switched to camera mode and took a picture of it. Nice.
