    This game is great. Brilliant dialogue, cool and colourful art style and amazing boss fight to finish it all off. The death and fast travel animations are really funny and I haven't seen nearly half of them.

    It’s a pretty fun game. Has some similarities to Infamous Second Son, if you come from the PS4 side of Gaming. It just much more crazy and funny.

    It is the one of the best Xbox One games after Halo and maybe as good as Forza Motorsport.
    Also I think is as good as GTA V but without drugs and sex. In reality is so similar:

    You have your character, you use weapons, you have a lot of missions and you have a big and open world. The difference is that Sunset is in an apocalyptic map and the enemies are monsters.

    Initially I was not going to buy this game. The game looked cool in all the press released info but it just seemed like Jet Grind radio mixed with Crackdown. Not as if that is a bad thing but just did not excite me to want to purchase the game.

    They even had a Free play the game week-end in which you could get achievements and I still did not play it. Fast Forward to my sons birthday

    Fast Forward to my sons birthday and for some strange reason that was the game he wanted. So I bought it for him and I ended up playing it more than he does.

    The game is just like a blend of Jet Grind Radio and Crackdown which like I said previously is not a bad thing. I still have some issues with not loving the game just liking it.

    As per usual the Season Pass has let me down and was not worth the price with what you get.

    I would not have paid retail but for $29.99 for the Day One Edition on Sale was a good Deal.

    Now it must be said that the story is not award quality, you won’t find writing that will rival titles such as The Last Of Us and the consistency of engaging narrative is lacking.

However Insomniac does very well to deliver some funny lines through character dialogue and some of the one liners you may over hear while grinding past an enemy scavenger may cause you to let out a laugh in surprise. The character dialogue and comedy aspects of the game are definitely refreshing in a sea of game titles churning out every year, that are grittier and grittier each time, and take themselves deadly seriously.
    There is seldom a quiet moment in Sunset Overdrive, there are many dynamic scenarios that a player may encounter when bouncing and grinding their way through the game. As a player you may find a survivor frantically running down the streets from Scavengers or the OD and the player can choose to save the survivor for a cash reward that can be used to buy customisation items. You may be grinding and bouncing across the skylines of Sunset City and see small skirmishes between all types of enemies in the game, occurring at random all over the game map.

    The combat in the game is a more slapstick and humorous experience than the grey and dull FPS we are used to, and is really a blast from the past, making us reminisce of previous colourful and exciting games like Spyro, Ratchet and Clank and Jet Set Radio. The weapons are fun and inventive which really does create an engaging player experience as we are able to explore the vast array of unconventional weapons like the TNTEDDY (a rocket launcher that fires explosive teddy bears) and the Nothin’ But The Hits (a weapon that launches colourful vinyl).

    One aspect of the game that stands out above all else is the fluid movement and smooth transition between grinding, bouncing, wall running and combat. The game feels so natural as you flick between hastily traversing the city and attacking enemies as you complete objectives and as you save innocent survivors from the selection of enemies. Surprisingly there is no sprint function in the game, which is Insomniac’s way of making the player utilise the traversal mechanics of grinding, undergrinding, wall running and bouncing, which is evidently a large factor in the overall experience that Insomniac is trying to create for the players.

    Along with the base story of the game there are also a number of expectable side activities that can also be completed. As expected in an open world game, there are a selection of collectibles to collect and also Fizzco cameras to destroy located all over the game map. In addition Insomniac incorporated many mini game type challenge like ‘Midnight Defense’ (a castle defence type mini game, utilising traps to defend vats of Overcharge used to create ‘Amps’ which are perks that can be equipped to weapons.)
    There are the usual challenge trials dotted around the city that offer Bronze, Silver and Gold medals that reward the player with customisation items and in game currency and also offer leaderboards for friends and on a global scale. All of these editions help boost the play time and re-playability of the title significantly, and I myself have put in over 40 hours and am still going back for more.

    Finally there is a multiplayer function in the game that allows up to eight players to play a game called ‘Chaos Squad’ in which the players take part in a series of challenges together in which they attempt to rack up the highest percentage of ‘Chaos’ which offer specific rewards at the end of the game. The multiplayer is fun and engaging however I feel it really is an afterthought and the single player is where you’ll sink at least ninety percent of your time. Unfortunately there is no multiplayer free roaming option which is a real shame as it has been an expected option in almost all open world, third person shooter games.

    Overall Sunset Overdrive is a quirky, funny and fresh title for the Xbox One console that offers at least 30-40 hours of quality game play for even hardcore gamers. If you enjoy games that don’t take themselves too seriously and focus more on the player experience over frame rate or pixel ratio then this is the one for you.

    Sunset Overdrive is a great game that any Xbox One owner should pick up ASAP. The gameplay is a blast to play, and exploring Sunset city is fun also. There is a massive glaring problem though. Firstly, the story and characters are extremely forgettable, making the 'story' meaningless. Apart from that, Sunset Overdrive is a superb game that Xbox One players should definitely buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved the irreverence. The entire game was tongue in cheek. Some times it went into stinky Limburger realms, but instead of making me groan, it endeared me to the story. Love the over the top punk aesthetic. Funny ridiculous story, hilarious dialogue, funny as hell caricatures for characters, extremely inventive - taking the "corrupt evil corporation converts the city into blood thirty zombie monsters" into a whole new direction. The team at Insomniac made that story their own. The parkour was very fun, controls were very responsive. Over all, very solid cohesive game. I hope a sequel is in the works! Expand

    Sunset Overdrive is fun. Many games that I feel are an 8.5 out of 10 I round down to 8, this one I'm going to go with a 9. There is a lot more that I could have done to explore the city, but I remember enjoying my time with the game quite a bit and feeling very satisfied chaining together combo attacks and stuff. I highly recommend.

    Sunset Overdrive was a breath of fresh air for me in gaming. A game that's straight fun from start to finish, the characters are constantly breaking the 4th wall which gives the game a comic book feel. I found it was just challenging enough, and was never too frustrating or too straight up easy.

    The game-play has a heavy, throwback feel of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, where you trick

I found it was just challenging enough, and was never too frustrating or too straight up easy.

    The game-play has a heavy, throwback feel of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, where you trick together grinds and jumps to navigate your way around the city. THPS2 is one of my favorite games ever, and I was skeptical about those comparisons, but they are deserving. It's really the little things that add up in this game, such as the animations when you die.

    Graphically the game looks and runs very smooth.

    Overall a very good game that I would recommend to any X1 owner.

Tiene varias falencias, pero eso no quita el núcleo de este juego, un sistema mecánico muy amplio y profundo que ofrece muchas posibilidades a la hora de enfrentar enemigos, trasladarse por el escenario y personalizar a tu personaje. Responde perfectamente y una vez dominado permite abordar de muchas maneras las distintas situaciones del juego.

    El apartado estético es carismático , muy colorido y resultón. Me recuerda mucho a Jetset Radio. Así mismo es artísticamente muy inspirado en el movimiento indie estadounidense de la pasada década, veo mucho de Scott Pilgrim aquí. El humor es entonces muy similar a esta novela gráfica y puede no agradar a todos los públicos. Con la música ocurre lo mismo, muy inspirada en Melvins, Artic Monkeys y otras bandas similares, también tiene algunos temas más dubstep. Quizá la unica falla en este sentido es que se queda algo corta, en poco tiempo habrás escuchado todos los temas.

    Los problemas del juego vienen por otro lado: primero, aunque muy vistoso artísticamente, el juego no es especialmente bueno en términos gráficos, lo compensa con un gran rendimiento, es estable y no vi bugs, sólo algo de popping. Sin embargo su gran problema es respecto a la forma de ampliar la experiencia: terminada la historia hay poco que hacer. Cierto es que hay "desafíos" y pese a que son mas de 50, son clónicos unos de otros y no llama la atención realizarlos. También hay misiones alternativas que ayudan a desarrollar personajes y meterse más en el mundo del juego, lamentablemente suelen ser misiones de recadero y de matar a x numero de monstruos en y lugar. Por último están los coleccionables, los cuales se identifican comprando sus mapas; el problema es que se remiten a ser recogidos haciendo piruetas y son un montón, por lo que no es especialmente divertido. El problema es que estos coleccionables sirven para comprar ayudas del juego, por lo que se te motiva a buscarlo.

    En síntesis creo que Sunset Overdrive es un juegazo en su núcleo, apartado artístico y sonoro. Tiene mucha personalidad y es divertido hasta decir basta mientras nos ciñamos a las misiones principales y las secundarias más importantes. Rápido, adictivo y muy vivo, creo que sus únicos problemas son el poco contenido post-game y lo aburrido de algunos aspectos de éste.

    Por fin he podido terminar uno de los grandes pendientes exclusivos de la xbox. Sunset Overdrive, un juego de Insomniac Games, un estudio muy top en la industria que ha firmado grandes sagas como los Ratchet y Clank y los Resistance o la última y exitosa entrega de Spiderman.

    Por fin he podido terminar uno de los grandes pendientes exclusivos de la xbox. Sunset Overdrive, un juego de Insomniac Games, un estudio muy top en la industria que ha firmado grandes sagas como los Ratchet y Clank y los Resistance o la última y exitosa entrega de Spiderman.

    La premisa es sencilla y a la vez una verdadera locura que podría haber sido sacada del cómic más gamberro jamás escrito. Salvando las distancias, me pudo recordar un poco a aquel clásico de Mega Drive de los 90, ‘Comix Zone’, pero con 20 años de evolución tecnológica encima. La ciudad de Sunset está llena de ‘colgados’ que es el enemigo principal del juego (hay otras dos facciones menos numerosas contra las que tendremos que luchar) que básicamente son unos engendros mutados debido a una bebida energética superadictiva, el ‘overcharge’, que ha provocado el apocalipsis en la fiesta de presentación que la compañía Fizzco, su fabricante, ha organizado antes de su comercialización.

    Sunset Overdrive es un juego de mundo abierto. Es un curioso RPG de acción, pero con una personalidad propia muy especial y alocada. Se trata de un juego muy colorido, donde mantenerse en continuo movimiento es esencial si quieres salir vivo del combate, todo ello regado por una nerviosa banda sonora de corte punk rock y dubstep dependiendo de la situación en la que te encuentres. Otra de sus señas de identidad, algo chocante al principio, es la forma de movernos por el mapa. No hay vehículos en Sunset Overdrive, por el contrario nuestro personaje es una especie de superhéroe entre cuyos poderes, a parte de una colección de armas a cada cual más delirante, se incluye la habilidad de realizar una forma extrema de parkour, mediante la cual podemos movernos ‘grindeando’ o patinando por los tendidos eléctricos, las fachadas de los edificios, aprovechar las instalaciones de ventilación y aire acondicionado para llegar más alto en los saltos, etc. Al principio puede ser chocante el control, más cuando te das cuenta que es esencial para pelear contra las hordas de enemigos, puesto que si te paras te masacran, pero a medida que avanza la partida el control se vuelve cómodo y orgánico y viajarás de un punto a otro del mapa sin tocar el suelo.

    El desarrollo de la historia, que puede llevar unas 8 horas si vas a saco, se realiza mediante un hilo de misiones principales. A su vez, también hay tareas secundarias que nos ayudarán a conseguir armas, prendas de ropa, dinero y latas de overcharge que se utilizan como divisa para comprar más armas y munición. A su vez el mapa está plagado de coleccionables que también sirven como divisa para acceder a lo que se llaman ‘amplis’ que son el método que tiene el juego de levelear a tu personaje. Estos amplis se equipan y potencian las habilidades o las armas y junto con los turbos se pueden ir subiendo, a su vez, de nivel a medida que explotamos esas habilidades.

    En definitiva Sunset Overdrive es ante todo un juego original, bastante divertido y alocado. Que le da una nueva vuelta de tuerca a los RPG’s de acción de mundo abierto. Su propuesta desenfadada, y su bella factura técnica lo hacen un juego más que recomendable si tienes una xbox one.

The story is passable, and is handled with an acceptable level of competence. Sunset Overdrive is also not especially difficult. Overall, the game play is solid, with high technical prowess, but the experience is marred by a lack of variety and a relatively short length. Expand

    Stylish, fun and very fast, it drags and does not let go until the very end, after which you want more, replaying your favorite missions and just enjoying flying through the bright city. Insomniac Games well done!

    "Sunset Overdrive" is a crass, colorful and comedic open-world action game that blends "Jet Grind Radio" with "Dead Rising". While the profane language and sexual references are a bit off-putting, the game's campaign is a lot of fun. Made by the creators of "Ratchet and Clank", it contains some of the wackiest weapons ever featured in a video game.

While the profane language and sexual references are a bit off-putting, the game's campaign is a lot of fun. Made by the creators of "Ratchet and Clank", it contains some of the wackiest weapons ever featured in a video game. In this highly inventive blast-a-thon, the player must always be on the move to avoid a quick death. And just like in Tony Hawk, constant combos are the keys to quickly scoring big points. Admittingly, the multiple controls are difficult to master at first. But once they're learned, the player will have a blast exploring the bright and vibrant world of "Sunset".

    The fast-paced cooperative multiplayer is also a lot of fun. Missions are horde-based and can include up to 8 players. The goal is to protect "bases" from zombies and the player who achieves the highest score on the team wins the biggest bonus. Maps and modes are rotated as you play. Over-the-top customization options straight out of "Saints Row" are featured in both multiplayer and single player modes. While "Overdrive" may not appeal to everyone, it's certainly a fun ride. Fans of "Jet Grind Radio" and "Dead Rising" will especially appreciate it. I'd rate this Xbox One exclusive with an 8.3 out of 10.

    Crazy, chaotic, funny and fast. You just spend hours playing around with all these crazy guns you can build jump around and kill thousands of monster. The story missions are mostly repetitive but that's not really a problem at all. And the bosses are awesomely creative and funny. Sadly this game sold not that good but I still hope for a sequel.

    Even when there was a lot of action on-screen, no noticeable framerate drop occurred, which is impressive for these types of games.

    Its gameplay, its story, its characters, its visuals and its humor make Sunset Overdrive a must-play for any Xbox One owner. Insomniac Games has created a masterpiece.

Так же игра хорошо оптимизирована и портирована на пк, что тоже жирный плюс, так как в основном остальные игры портируют так себе.Единственное что нехватает, так это чего-нить кроме драйва.

There were also a really good job with localization, I have played the whole game in Brazilian Portuguese and the voiceovers were really well done, with some known voices for the brazilian public, the main character voice its the voice of Damon Wayans on My wife and Kids in Brazil, Kim voice is the same brazilian voice actor of Penny from The Big Bang Theory. The natural voice acting helped with the immersion in the game world and also with the character's emotions. Combat system is solid and it is fun to simply run around Sunset City hitting on some ODs with some melee weapon or shooting them with one the many fun firearms available. Sunset Overdrive is the proof that a action / shooter game can also have a little comedy in it. A great game that I recommend to every Xbox fan. Expand

A semi-open world that comes to life as you go and discover, funny weapons. It is the perfect game to mess up, destroy and have fun. Weapons "out of the ordinary" and very funny. Two expansion packs that increase hours of fun (only the base game is in Game Pass). Recently I saw it in the Xbox store, it no longer appears under that label of Insomniac Games but of Microsoft Studios so it opens up hope for a new sequel.

    The bad:
    Despite being a good exclusive, it sold poorly and went to the freezer. Its caricatured style means that they do not take it very seriously and it is difficult for the user to enter the dynamics that Sunset supposes. The multiplayer is somewhat dead. Lack of a base protagonist makes the core game seem like a soulless game. Avoid it if you can't stand The guttural and schatological sounds jokes

    Lo Meh !:
    The neutral gamers denistaton this game without knowing it, without playing it and without giving it a chance, to the degree that many do not even know that it has multiplayer and many others do not even know what their two post-history expansions are called.

    The developers came up with a very clever traversal in the game to make the game more fun. The traversal doesn't get boring as the game progresses but actually gets more interesting. I was a little worried that it would get monotonous but it didn't.

    Story:
    The story of the game is pretty minimalistic and cliched. But, as far as I understand, this is intentional as the focus is more on the puns, clever jokes and amazing dialogue delivery. Insomniac Games really aced the dialogue delivery for this game. Even the different ways in which the protagonist comes back after dying is worth watching. Each character has a uniqueness to them and they don't feel like an extra burden in the game or a character made just for the sake of the game.

    Customizability: The weapons are cool and are designed with pun intended. Actually, everything in this game is designed with pun intended. So, I'll just stop using that word.

    Boss levels: Some of the boss levels are fun and challenging too. Loved how the bosses designed are differently from one another. They are also cleverly designed without making them monotonous.

    In summary, this game is what happens someone takes Catch-22 and makes a game out of it. It's fun and chaos well blended. This is a must play game. Peace.

    por qué el juego te posiciona con otros jugadores de tu mismo nivel, esto significa que podrás mejorar con solo

    jugar y divertirte. No hay nada como ganar en League of Legends al lado de 4 nuevos aliados... ¿Hermoso, verdad?

    Pero piensa que jugar con un grupo de amigos que ya conoces podría ser igual de divertido: Tú podrías ser el tanque,

    tus amigos pueden ser soportes, arqueros, asesinos o incluso magos, hay muchos roles para escoger según la estrategia que

    quieras que siga tu campeón durante la partida y con el tiempo comienzas a dominar otros campeones, como Lux con sus

    poderosos hechizos, a Darius con quien probablemente consigas tu primer Pentakill o Teemo la tierna encarnación de

    toda la maldad del universo, ya te gustan estos campeones, cada uno con su estilo de juego, aprenderas mas sobre

    las historias únicas de cada uno y verás como su origen se conecta con sus poderes, hay todo un universo por explorar. Después

    conocerás otra característica del juego: Las partidas clasificatorias, en las que tus resultados determinan tu posición en un

    sistema de ligas y divisiones, podrías jugar esto para siempre, pero tómalo con calma y solo diviértete, por que LoL te ofrece un sinfín de experiencias

    incluso sin competir por un puntaje, por qué esto es League of Legends: Es dinámico, intuitivo y siempre diverso.

    Cuanto más juegas más te enamoras del juego y después de cada partida no evitaras volver a jugar. Todo eso y más te espera si descargas League of Legends:

    One of the best exclusives Xbox had, until it was also ported to PC. TL;DR, you need to get this game if you have either an Xbox or a PC. One of my favorite games now from the last decade, a shame I wasn't able to play it sooner. Played on a Xbox Series X.

    Story - The plot is very very minimal, and that is ok. The game makes up for the very generic plot by trying to make it as generic
    One of the best exclusives Xbox had, until it was also ported to PC. TL;DR, you need to get this game if you have either an Xbox or a PC. One of my favorite games now from the last decade, a shame I wasn't able to play it sooner. Played on a Xbox Series X.

    Story - The plot is very very minimal, and that is ok. The game makes up for the very generic plot by trying to make it as generic as possible and embracing that. The game constantly breaks the fourth wall, and cracks jokes every few lines of dialogue, and it never fails to at least make me chuckle. The plot gives you enough motivation to keep you going, and tied up with the gameplay makes it an excellent treat.

    Worldbuilding - Sunset City is littered with vibrant, stupid, funny characters. There is one "serious" character in the game and the game kills them off very quickly which i find funny. The city itself is very colorful and very saturated with not one part looking the same, from the pagoda shaped museum to the graffitied docks, I always knew where I was without having to reference the map. The soundtrack is the weakest part, but matched the vibe the game was going for. I personally saw the entire soundtrack as one track rather than multiple but could just be me. For the protagonist you can dress however you want, and every combination of clothing I tried never failed to match the goofiness of a city taken by zombies obsessed with a deadly energy drink.

    Gunplay - the main way to fight in this game is through gunplay, the other way being melee, which isn't vital. Every gun is unique and vary in how insane they are. You have basic guns like a handgun and a basic assault rifle, but then can go to crazy weapons like a gun that shoots bowling balls or a launcher that shoots teddy bears stuffed with TNT. Whatever the gun is, each play very differently and affect different enemies better than other, and throughout your time you'll be constantly switching weapons to have the advantage over your prey. Skills called amps can be obtained to give your arsenal different effects like doing more damage while you're in the air or burning enemies when they get shot at with the weapon. They aren't game breaking but give each weapon some nice effects that makes each weapon that much more powerful.

    Traversal - Grinding, bouncing, and dashing through sunset city is so fun and satisfying when everything just clicks. the game slowly introduces more ways to traverse the open world, and once you have everything it's so fun to just run around. The world litters many collectibles so you can use your traversal skills in various ways to nab them all, and the collectibles can be spent on amps that can be for weapons, traversal, or just an ongoing effect.

    Combat - the gameplay uses the uniqueness of each weapon to the fun satisfying traversal to make combat that much better. you don't take cover and pop out when you can. You run around and bounce and grind while firing at enemies is a blast. I had myself run at enemies while just traversing the world just to get some more action, and I was never frustrated. The bosses were extremely unique with different ways for each to strike them down, but not amazing by any means. The final boss was in my opinion a little frustrating. But overall, combat was amazing.

    The problems I had with this game were very small, and don't really contribute at all to my enjoyment with this game, but everything have their problems, and they have to be addressed in order for there to be improvement. Other than that, please play this game if you have a PC or an Xbox.

    A very unique game and a great title for the Xbox One starter lineup. Especially the art style and gameplay are great. Sad, that it never got a sequel. Overall rating: 87.

    Sunset Overdrive is one of the games that has made me laugh the most and entertained me. Apart from its DLC that I buy with the Deluxe edition, it is very enjoyable. Here in Mexico they dubbed it in Latin, which I liked but I was already used to seeing the games in Spanish; I liked it more in my native language because of the jokes they put into it. Great game that deserves a sequel.

    Incredibly fun game. Everything is so colorful and beautifully designed. The missions are great, as is the whole story and the characters in it. A unique game. Fun is guaranteed. One of the best exclusive titles for the Xbox.
    SRP: Neverovatno zabavna igra. Sve je toliko koloristično i lepo oblikovano. Misije su sjajne, kao i celokupna priča i likovi u njoj. Unikatna igra. Zabava

    Easily one of the best platformers of the last 10 years. This game is amazing, so fun, hilarious and has a great multiplayer and co-op mode. I recommend this to anyone with a Xbox or game pass. This is a must play. Maybe even the best Xbox one exclusive game of the generation.

    Probably the best next gen exclusive we've seen so far. It's not perfect but a great return to form for Insomniac. [Issue#257, p.56]

    A game that would be even cooler if it didn’t try so hard to be cool. To love it you need to switch off the part of the brain responsible for good taste, but in return Sunset Overdrive relentlessly strokes the part responsible for pleasure. [13/2014, p.76]

    Fast, playful and colorful game that does have style and dynamic action, but also a pretty dull story that soon becomes boring. [Issue#248]
