    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

    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.

    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!

    I had to rewrite this review after finishing the main story, first things first, my expectations were BLOWN away seeing the game's sales. It deserves to sell 100 times the amount of copies it sold because this is how you make a game (I am talking about you Bethesda).

I have experienced 0 lags or bugs or any type of issues, the game never crashed nothing, NADA. 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

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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    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.    … Expand

    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.

    "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.

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.    … Expand

    I really like this game just a fourth-wall-breaking Deadpool **** shooter that makes fun of other pop-culture and video games this was so fun the only problem is that at times it felt empty just parkouring through sunset city and Yuri Lowenthal as the protagonist was such a great choice and I'm sad we will never get a sequel or remaster of this game

    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]
