It's a liberating game that trades in rules and drama for freedom and pure unadulterated enjoyment, and Sunset Overdrive never pretends to be anything but an excuse to swear like a sailor, jump off of a skyscraper, and blow up a gang of monsters.Īs you'd expect, an absurd game like Sunset Overdrive features an equally absurd plot. It's also a blast to play thanks to it's movement system and over-the-top weapons. It never takes itself too seriously, which in this case, is a good thing. Sure, its dialogue is vulgar and absurd, but unlike so many games that attempt to be edgy, Sunset Overdrive makes its quips feel natural rather than forced. It's dripping with color and upbeat personality, and its cast is filled with comical caricatures. If you're worn out on games with drab palettes and dramatic characters, then Sunset Overdrive is just the game you need to lift your spirits.
