Let's just get right to it and say that Sunset Overdrive is bonkers - and not always in a good way. It is among the best looking games on the new-generation consoles and pulls off the tricky feat of both borrowing from older games, yet feeling fresh and...

Sunset Overdrive is a game that we'll definitely revisit, especially for more multiplayer action, but we'll have to sometimes leave our brains at the door. That said, while the narrative might be dumb in some instances, the combat is far from it an...

Sunset Overdrive is about as punk rock as videogames get. It's loud, it's irreverent and it's crass. It's a hyper-violent shooter set in a bright, technicolour world. Sunset Overdrive is pretty much the definition of over-the-top. And it's also really goo...

Sunset Overdrive is a completely over-the-top experience, so much so that it feels like an icon to excess. But despite the zany weapons, the crass, fourth-wall-breaking humour, the gender-swapping main character and the insane gameplay, Sunset Overdrive...

Seriously, though, that dodge roll. After a wobbly period of grit and grime, a kind of thematic pebble-dashing of the CV, Insomniac's latest is set in Sunset City, a breezy and laudably colourful metropolis where a new fizzy drink has turned everyone into...

It might not be the year's most ground-breaking or innovative action game, but Sunset Overdrive is one of the most entertaining. Its mix of grinding and gunplay works beautifully, and the amps and the ridiculous weaponry ensure that slaughtering hordes o...

Sunset Overdrive shares a characteristic with hip-hop in that it has gleefully canabalised anything its developers seem to have taken a shine to. Its free roaming parkour movement owes a debt of inspiration to InFamous, but the player's ability to grind...
We left Sunset Overdrive's demo grinning. The game's action and sense of immense fun is simply infectious. Sure, it's nicked a lot of its best ideas from a ton of other game – and special mention should go to Crackdown, which funnily enough, is being rebo...

Sunset Overdrive has a lot riding on its shoulders. It stands as the Xbox One's first major holiday exclusive – a deciding factor between picking up the console this holiday season or not. It also comes from a team of seasoned action game veterans, who ar...
Sunset Overdrive's stylistic gameplay and juvenile attitude doesn't make it a title for everyone. It is, however, an incredibly fun, visually beautiful open-world title that exhibits the best parts of what a sandbox game should be. Tight, stylish movement...

It's rare to find a game that you're not convinced by, but then, in the final months before release, get really excited for. This was very much the case with Sunset, after its uninspiring reveal at E3 2013. Microsoft devoted plenty of time to Insomniac's...
