Critic Reviews for Sunset Overdrive
Sunset Overdrive provides some of the most fun, frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One.
If you wanted to be uncharitable, you could voice the suspicion that a great many baseball caps were turned backwards in the echoing board room where this project was greenlit, but with the campaign done and the city freshly filled with challenges, I don't really feel like being uncharitable. Beneath the glorious tech, and once the writing relaxes a little, Sunset Overdrive's wonderfully lurid and heartfelt - a bit like playing an old 4AD album sleeve. If you get that reference, you'll probably get this, too.
Every facet of 'Sunset Overdrive' is bursting with personality, and despite some faults it's still a must-play on Xbox One.
You've never explored an open world quite like this. Sunset Overdrive's iffy gunplay and inconsistent missions are redeemed by absolutely amazing mobility and an infectious enthusiasm for mayhem.
Mission variety is lacking, but it didn't stop me from enjoying almost every second of play for 20-plus hours
Sunset Overdrive doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's bursting at the seams with colorful action and creativity.
Insomniac gets back to what it does best with this smirking, fast-moving romp through a gleefully silly open world.
