    With its great mechanics, frantic pace, absurd story and insane missions Sunset Overdrive is mad and uncompromising, and that’s exactly what we need in the age of increasingly serious open world games committed to imitating reality. [01/2019, p.70]

    It is loud. It is silly. It is wonderfully weird. The mixture of frantic action and skate acrobatics still delivers a very unique arcade action experience.

    Sunset Overdrive is one of the very few open-world games that sets itself apart from the competition with its unique and wacky setting, Parkour system and hectic gameplay experience, and all these are faithfully represented in the PC port. While solid, the port does lack some features that are expected out of a PC game in this day and age: this, coupled with the removal of co-op multiplayer, ends up damaging the experience. If you have no other mean of enjoying the game, however, Sunset Overdrive on PC is more than worthy of your time and money.
  4. Sunset Overdrvie brings the fun on Xbox One to the PC platform. If you looking for a fun game, it's a very good alternative on the PC.

    Optimization/Performance/Stability: 7

    My target framerate for this game was 75 FPS, Sunset Overdrive consistently fell below my target framerate and I have played many other modern open world games that could reach that target framerate without any problem. I and my friend had other issues such as the camera getting stuck, and keybinds not saving. I feel like 7/10 is generous, specs are below.

    Story: 3

    The story felt like it was tacked on, definitely wasn't the main focus. Nothing was really interesting about it. Only one memorable character, the story lacks depth.

    Graphics/Art Style: 9

    This game is very stylish, animations are cool, textures look nice. Only complain is that a couple of character models looked a little out of place.

    Mechanics: 10

    There is a lot to play around with in this game, every weapon is unique and has a different effect on each of the enemies. The traps allow you to be more strategic and make the defense missions really fun. The movement in this game is A+ no doubt.

    Content/Length: 7

    DIsclusing the DLC the length of this game is average but there is a bunch of collectibles to get. Not to mention the character customizer is great and there are a bunch of weapons and abilities to get. Some missions are slow and boring and some are really fun.

    7.2/10 or C
