    Sunset Overdrive is a colorful and fun addition to the action genre, that manages to entertain both the hardcore and the casual gamer. It took me 20 hours to finish the story mode, and that's not even counting the many hours that I sunk into multiplayer. I can't recommend Sunset Overdrive enough.

    Excellent fun. A whacky joy-ride worth taking. A great throw-back to Sega's Jet Set Radio with flair. If you love doing everything in style then this is the game for you.

    One of the best games on Xbox One. Gameplay is pure fun and carnage. Graphics/visuals are striking and vibrant. Amazing soundtrack. Funny characters and dialogue with fourth wall breaks. This game doesn't in any way take itself seriously and results in nothing but great fun.

    This game is simply amazing. Honestly, people may say that this game sucks, but those are just pissed of Sony fanboys that are jealous that they couldn't get this game for themselves. Microsoft, if you know what you are doing please make a sequel to this game. I will legit preorder it, cause this was that good!

    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!

    Jugabilidad y historia muy entretenida. Traducciones totalmente al español . Estilo artístico divertido y entre horas de entretenimiento, a todos los que tengan una xbox no duden en obtenerlo, es uno de los exclusivos que destacan mucho en la consola y no puede pasar desapercibido. Se define este juego a diversión total.

    I LOVED this game, the flashy colors and the never dull mechanics with the creative weapons. I only have one downfall and its not long enough, but the thing is the 3 days it took to beat me were the 3 best gaming days of my life

    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.

    Muito bom mesmo! Jogabilidade ótima, engraçadíssimo , dublagem BR e NA ótimas e cheio de gírias hilárias, história muito boa, vale a pena para quem tem Xbox One. Dizem que é cópia de Infamous Second Son, mas seu estilo é muito diferente.

The story mode is entertaining and every single aspect of it offers unique style: the characters are full of personality and the missions will guarantee hours of enjoyable content.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    I have started playing Sunset Overdrive at the end of 2018, and I've finished the game this year (march 2019). It is one of the most fun games I have played in my life.

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

    To start with, I'm Brazilian and the dubbing of the game was WONDERFUL. The game is a lot of fun and I spent long hours killing ODs and collecting Overcharge. I got into the game late and I couldn't try his multiplayer mode ... But it doesn't matter, the game is really cool and I want a sequel!

    Este juego es una obra maestra, muy bueno en su jugabilidad, graficos, personajes carismaticos y una historia medio ramdom y muy divertida ala vez. Su mundo abierto es demasiado bueno ya que esta muy colorido y detallado, sus misiones no hay ninguna que sea aburrida incluso hastas las misiones secundarias son muy buenas y divrtidas, sin dudas uno de los mejores juegos de esta generacion

    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]
