    It's just a proper fun game. Controls are tight, controller vibration here actually really does work nicely.

    Not sure what it was but this game had me smiling a lot.

    Este juego es simplemente increíble, con su humor brutal, el apartado gráfico considero que sigue siendo muy bueno para ser un juego del 2014, la música está completamente en otro nivel y las mecánicas originales de juego, todo eso está en un equilibrio perfecto y hace que el juego sea grandioso es un juego que recomiendo mucho

    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.

    Great, Fun, and truly enjoyable game by a great developer! Subset Overdrive was a nice surprise when the game launched. I didn't think I'd like it and ended up loving it. Traversal has never been so much fun!

This game is so criminally UNDERRATED, the GAME PLAY and PARKOUR are so much fun, this game is the DEFINITION OF FUN, one of my favorite games this gen. The atmosphere of the world is very well defined by the main STORY, SOUNDTRACK, and ART STYLE, which is very COLORFUL and SPLASHY. The CUSTOMIZATION is TONS of fun. All the characters are likeable, I CANNOT think of any character that I disliked, From Walter, to Sam or Kim4, they are all LIKEABLE. These negative reviews SHOULD NOT be a thing, it is impossible to dislike this game. Insomniac did a FANTASTIC job, and the game NEEDS A SEQUEL, (please don't make it a PS5 exclusive Sony). Expand

    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.

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.

    Pretty good! The story was fun and had quite a few funny moments throughout. The voice acting was perfect and I really liked the music choices. I also really appreciate that the story was a manageable length. The collectibles became a bit of a chore and it did have really boring base defense type missions, but overall it was worth the money and time-for sure!

    The main character is a random guy who gets caught up in a soda-fueled zombie apocalypse and realizes that it's pretty awesome to swing and slide your way around the city shooting things with homemade weapons. The map/story is divided into sections to rally different factions to your cause. Each faction is very unique and a huge part of what drew me to the game in the first place. The dialogue and voice acting are done perfectly and definitely funny enough to get a few laughs.

    The missions are a bit hit and miss. Sometime they are incredibly original or designed to show off new abilities or weapons, but others can be repetitive or (the worst) base defending. In a game with such amazing traversal mechanics, who's idea was it to put base defense in there?

    Most of the weapons felt a little underwhelming. There are a lot of cool ideas and a significant ability to upgrade for guns and abilities, but I think a game like this would have been better served by letting you out-damage the enemies a little more. Most guns seem to hit like spitballs while the enemies can kill you real quick if they hit you.

    I did have frequent audio glitches where the sound would cut out completely, but nothing that a bit of saving and reloading couldn't fix.

    I also picked up the edition that includes the DLC's which were at least as fun as the main campaign without overstaying their welcome. Zipping around the Oil Rig and the Robot Factory was still entertaining and the writing and voice acting still had some great moments.

Son statut de jeu déjanté et trololol avait fait parler de lui, la replaie-kevin-station 4 et son public soniais s'y intéressaient également : pas de bol, Sunset est décidément trop overcon (toutes les cervelles des kévins mougeons implosaient). Du coup, la débilité errante finit chez Microchiotte trop content d'en faire une exclusivité pour sa Xbouse !

    On jase et on glose sur le 900p mais Sunset est clairement bien léché, sans un pixel qui dépasse, et profite de graphismes légèrement dessin animé (mais pas trop) et d'un éclairage d'une grande qualité : il est pas vilain dans son genre et d'un 30/ims irréprochablement... stable ! La mécanique du parcours sur "boïng-boïng" et "zzzzz" (je glisse...) est malheureusement bien trop perfectible de même que les combats confus et agités : c'est tout le temps le bordel à l'écran.

    A force d'en faire des mégatonnes, Sunset plie sous son propre poids, le poids de la kikoololerie hystéro-bouffonne qui atteint des sommets insoupçonnés ; le poids du remplissage de la carte avec ce qu'on fait de pire en matière de collectionnite chronique, d'où en découle un farmage obligatoire pour un accès à toutes les capacités ; enfin le poids d'une monstrueuse répétitivité, d'où une lassitude rédhibitoire à son encontre. A vouloir jouer au plus con, Sunset a gagné son invitation pour tous les prochains mercredis soirs.

    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.

    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.

    Sunset overdrive is a must play game for everyone who has a xbox or a pc.

    Let's start with gameplay:
    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.

    I'm on my second playthrough and OH MY GOD! This games controls are so fluid, the story is dumb but hilarious, the in game cutscenes kinda suck as there's only like 5 animations, and the multiplayer doesn't really work but THIS GAME IS AMAZING. Its on gamepass so if you have that you should play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hola, Gamer, juguemos League of Legends

    ¿Qué te parece si lo descargamos en este preciso momento y descubrimos juntos como se juega?

    Es fácil de aprender, funciona de esta manera: 2 equipos de 5 jugadores deben destruir la base enemiga

    combatiendo en un mapa lleno de objetivos y monstruos. Supongamos que de entre los mas de 100 campeones

    Elijes a Garen, te gusta Garen, es fácil matar a tus enemigos con Garen. Al principio no necesitas ser experto

    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:

    Tú decides.

    Really didnt like the traversal and movement, having to constantly pay attention to where I was landing , while being shot at in the process. Did not like the guns at all, thought they were stupid and unsatisfying to shoot. The graphics and world overall might look good on better hardware, but its on the XBox one, so its low res, ugly and 30fps. I did like the character models though, the females were fit AF, always appreciated.
    But yeah really hope Insomniac stay far from Xbox in the future and keep ripping it up with their amazing talent being unhindered by what ever Xbox games Studios is doing to their studios.

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.

It is one of the most fun games I have played in my life. Characters have personality and are introduced at the right time in the story, it feels natural. 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

    I really wanted to like this game. I was sold on the attitude, the look, and the gameplay looked interesting. But the game quickly became a repetitive slog. Its not that its terrible, just think that its another over the top zombie apocalypse style game, but throws in some almost Tony Hawk-esque hybrid gameplay that gets really old really fast. Thought the cutscenes were kind of funny though.

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.

"SunsetInsomniac Games has had an impressive history as developers, creating the first three "Spyro the Dragon" games on the original PlayStation before moving on to create the iconic "Ratchet and Clank" series on the PlayStation 2. While their turn to a mature audience wasn't as graceful as, say, Naughty Dog, Insomniac did decide to make the bold move of going to Xbox eventually. "Sunset Overdrive" stands as their first (and, so far, only) game to be an Xbox One-exclusive. And Insomniac definitely held nothing back here.
    "Sunset Overdrive" is just plain fun. If you want balls-to-the-wall action and excitement, this is the game for you. It's incredibly fun to play, it's visually gorgeous and detailed, it's got a gigantic open-world to explore, a lot of things to do, great controls, and some pretty solid characters. And as familiar as the story is, the game still manages to be unique thanks to its clever fourth-wall breaks.
    The game is not perfect, however. As fun as it is, starting off with a bunch of fetch quests wasn't the best idea, nor was it the best to stuff the game with "protect your turf" sections, and those can cause the game to lose a bit of its luster overall. Furthermore, the game has more than a few glitches and technical mishaps that might annoy a number of players.
    Still, for all it does right, "Sunset Overdrive" is a fantastic game that any Xbox One owner should have.

    Ambitious? Maybe. "Unprecedented" would be extremely high praise. While it is definitely unlike most other games, that doesn't simply make it good, or even worth playing. What barely makes it worth buying is that I got it for $6 at GameStop.

    It's full of "gamer" humor and fourth wall breaks, which I think is supposed to be charming, until you realize it's just a mask for using lots of tropes - the game makes a joke like "escort quests are the worst, aren't they? The idiot always gets killed!" And you're supposed to think that's a funny reflexive joke, but the game then throws you into an annoying escort quest. The examples keep going - "Aww, another fetch quest?" Not that funny when you realize you do literally dozens of them. It tries to make fun of video gaming cliches, but it's really just executing them.

    Combat at first seems kind of interesting, requiring you to be grinding or bouncing about to get skill multipliers, but this becomes a huge nuisance in areas that are not designed to accommodate it. The frenetic combat design also prohibits any precision, so most guns either auto-target or do splash damage, making combat feel more like randomly spinning the right stick around and shooting bombs at nothing. There's really no sense of accomplishment in combat, because it's lazy and saturated with area-of-effect weapons, giving no sense of skill. You just sort of errantly shoot ridiculous guns and look at pretty lights and explosions while having no idea if what you're doing is effective or not.

    The game is repetitive in almost all respects - combat, movement, mission design and soundtrack all feel stale by the end. Predictably stupid, self-deprecating jokes become grating; shooting bombs and turrets at hordes of indistinguishable, unsatisfying enemies becomes a chore; completing fetch quests and defend quests is endless and all the while you get to hear the same loud, brain-rattling indie rock power chords over and over again. Definitely the type of game that you're hoping will end once you'be been at it a few hours.

    Its probable only redeeming qualities are an indisputably unique combat and traversal system and depth of character customization, which is purely cosmetic. Maybe worth a look if you can find it cheap and are tired of playing Call of Duty, but otherwise not the masterpiece people seem to think.

    Jogo muito bom, quando começa a jogar fica viciante! O sistema de combate é muito gratificante e a dificuldade é no ponto certo!

    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]
