Funselektor has released Over the Hill, a meditative offroad driving game described as a chill-out experience for 2026. The title focuses on exploration and communing with landscapes rather than competition, drawing comparisons to the game Jusant for its peaceful, aspirational vision of an outdoorsy pastime.
Players navigate large, open maps using toylike models of late 20th-century vehicles. Mechanics include managing high and low gears, winches, and headlamps while traversing difficult terrain. Exploration rewards players with currency for vehicle upgrades, such as stronger engines or better tires, and inventory items like jacks and planks to assist when navigating challenging trails.
The game features a day/night cycle and weather changes that impact visibility and progress. Beyond simple driving, players solve environmental puzzles, such as finding routes to high mesas in the Algerian desert, or engage in optional activities like wildlife photography and meteorite hunting. The reviewer praises this minimalism, noting the absence of time limits or feature creep.
Over the Hill is currently available on Windows PC. Versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 are scheduled for release in 2027. The game supports four-player co-op, though the reviewer noted that playing solo remains a quiet and soothing experience.
