Refreshing. Delicious. Addictive. 1
In today's retail space it's very unusual to find a game as unique and colorful as Sunset Overdrive. As vivid and dynamic as the trailer promised back at E3 last year, this game is a delightful romp from beginning to end with an irreverent sense of humor that, while potentially off-putting to some, gives Insomniac's latest an identity all it's own.Taking place in a not-so-distant future California/Florida analog called Sunset City, Sunset Overdrive sees the city cast into chaos by an energy drin...

Sunset Overdrive Critical Analysis 0
I'm officially referring to Sunset Overdrive as my "Pleasant surprise of the year" because, man, I really didn't expect to like it at all. Insomniac's favor with me fell off pretty drastically during what I considered to be a run of pretty mediocre PS3 exclusive FPSes, uninspired Ratchet and Clank sequels, and then whatever the fuck Fuse was. This heartbreak and subsequent loss of faith in Insomniac's ability to consistently put out quality, fun, and charming products really made me skeptical of...

Fast-paced, punk-rock attitude and plenty of fourth wall breaking. Sunset Overdrive = unique. 0
Insomniac, the developer behind such beloved PlayStation exclusive franchises as Ratchet and Clank and Spyro the Dragon, chose a different route with its newest IP, Sunset Overdrive. While the wacky storytelling and beautiful color palettes return in a big way, Sunset Overdrive marks Insomniacs’ first complete departure from the PlayStation platform, the result of which is an Xbox exclusive title unlike any other. Sunset Overdrive is a fast-paced, adrenaline-inducing third-person shooter t...

Exhilarating Over the Top Pop Punk Action 0
Sunset Overdrive is another in a long line of Insomniac games. The makers of Spyro and Ratchet & Clank have fully embraced their action platforming pedigree and knack for absurd arsenals with this one. It’s a bit more mature or immature depending on your perspective than much of their previous work, but it definitely bears their mark.The game begins on Horror Night, the night of the apocalypse. Beverage company, Fizzco, rushes the release of Overcharge, their latest energy drink and du...

Roller Coaster Of Destruction! 5
You think the picture's chaotic? Wait until you see the gameIt's becoming a tendency of mine to pick up games I wasn't even considering this year. First Wolfenstein, then The Evil Within, and now I've come to Sunset Overdrive. The reason I picked it up though, is probably because of the fact that I was sincerely happy that there was another open world game, which focused on mind blowing fun, and really, that's what Overdrive is all about. If you want a quick description of the game the only thin...

Too Much Going On, and Nothing Really Matters 0
I really wanted to like this game. The bright, colorful world is a nice change of pace from the grimdark/industrial shooters of the world. The 90s-style attitude was fine and fit well with the aesthetic they were going for, but this game lost me in a couple pretty important ways.Story and mission structureEvery story beat is essentially the same thing: do a bunch of pointless tasks to convince some people to help you. This is such a theme that the main character basically comes out and says this...

Sunset Overdrive Review 0
Possibly my favorite game on the Xbox One and by far my favorite sandbox game of all time.The Story follows the main character (who has no name so for this review let's just call them John, based on the name tag of the default character in the E3 2014 trailer) who after an energy drink causes the awesomecaplyse as the game dubs it, John must use a selection of super awesome weapons to defeat the OD and expose Fizzco for the liars they are. One of my only compliants with the story is that the ma...
