    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 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.

    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.

    I'd probably have given this more of an 8 score on the original XBox price, but for under £15 on PC the game is a steal and an easy 9. It's aI'd probably have given this more of an 8 score on the original XBox price, but for under £15 on PC the game is a steal and an easy 9. It's a little tricky to learn at first, but it rewards your engagement in spades after the first few hours.

    I thought it was going to be pretty limited, based on first impressions. How much scope can there be, I thought, in this skateboard-plus-shooting gameplay? Won't I hate the wacky humour? I was very happy to be proved wrong, as the game revealed some great level-design and new surprises, and the humour turns out to be much better pitched than the trailer suggested. Also, as someone who loves character customisation, I love the tweaking on offer here.    … Expand

Sunset Overdrive is a open worldA massive game with great traveral, epic fights, that boasts an open world full of missions and collectables. Sunset Overdrive is a open world game that puts emphasis on style, grinding, and wall running while juggling massive hordes of enemies and minibosses. The comat is fluid with the trevel controls and it rewards you for mixing up your strategy with "style",a system which unloks super abilities the more innovate. This game also relies on a system of badges, you earn by killing certain enemies or simply traveling for certain ways for a bit of time, you then spend these badges on abilities that are always present. Though its level system leaves a lot to be desired and its theme is almost "trying to hard" punk counter culture, which breaks the 4th wall constantly... it's a welcome breath of fresh air. Good job Insomniac… Expand

    This is a rare game that many Playstation Fans will probably never experience, I am surprised that this game has so much charm and so many funThis is a rare game that many Playstation Fans will probably never experience, I am surprised that this game has so much charm and so many fun systems taken from Ratchet and Clank for an XBOX and PC exclusive.

    While I have not entirely Finished the game, from the few hours I've played, it's been a long time since I I actually enjoyed a bit of a challenge with fun gameplay.

    This game with some technical problems at the moment is an 8/10, this is quality. This game is what I call a modern Parody of Video Games, clearly Insomniac wanted to make a game that parodies not only the development of Video games, the way games are these days, with some little nudges at real-life stuff that happens but they also wanted to wrap it up in a fun world that makes you actually enjoy killing enemies for no apparent reason, The OD hordes are indeed fun.

    This is a game that needs a Sequel, PlayStation should really look into Insomniac doing a Sequel for this game, this is their strength. The game reminds me of the Franchises that Insomniac is known for.
    If not a Sequel then how about a Resistance game or a new IP, with that horde system?

    Sure Spider-Man and The Wolverine game is gonna be awesome but let Insomniac just go back to what they are known for, for just a bit, so they can combine that Horror, Fun, and Insomniac Magic into a new IP.

    Maybe one-day Insomniac will combine everything they learned once more into a great Parody of Videogames, until then I'll enjoy my time with this. This game is truly Rad.    … Expand
