About Sunset Overdrive

Don’t miss the single-player campaign from the game that IGN awarded Best Xbox One Game of 2014, the game that Polygon rated 9 out of 10, and the game that Eurogamer calls “a breath of fresh air.” In Sunset Overdrive, the year is 2027 and Sunset City is under siege. A contaminated energy drink has transformed most of the population into toxic mutants. For many it's the end of the world, but for you it’s a dream come true. Your old boss? Dead. Your boring job? Gone. Transform the open-world into your tactical playground by grinding, vaulting and wall-running across the city while using a devastating, unconventional arsenal. With hyper-agility, unique weapons, and customizable special abilities, Sunset Overdrive rewrites the rules of traditional shooters and delivers an explosive, irreverent, stylish, and totally unique adventure. Embrace the chaos of Sunset City through a hyper-colorful, post-apocalyptic single-player campaign and two bonus expansions, Mystery of Mooil Rig and Dawn of the Rise of the Fallen Machines. Outgun crazed mutants, homicidal robots, and villainous thugs on your journeys with the included Weapons Pack. Features: - An Open World with No Rules - Leap off

Thumb-up for Microsoft for putting this game on Steam

Thumb-up for Microsoft for putting this game on Steam. An AAA open world game by Insomniac Games aka the maker of Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, Marvel's Spider Man, on Steam at budget price? Instant-buy

Easy recommendation

Take the traversing gameplay of Jet Set Radio, add the character customization and humor of Saints Row, sprinkle a little Crackdown combat and collecting and throw some hordes of zombies in there. Then set the whole thing to the soundtrack of Tony Hawk and you get my game of the year.

Hard to put down

DISCLAIMER: There's an issue regarding cloud saves that WILL make your game crash every time you try to manage your saved games in game (and will also corrupt them once you restart the game). It can be easily bypassed by disabling cloud saves through game properties AND editing the file "steam_autocloud.vdf" (C:\Users\>your username<\AppData\Local\Sunset\Saves). Make sure you turn that file into a blank text (same name and extension, just delete everything inside it) -> save it -> then tick the read only option. The reason you want to do this is because if you straight up delete it the game will create it again (it doesn't matter if the cloud saves are turned off at this point or not). REVIEW: It's Insomniac, go buy it. I finished it in under 10 hours since I already got most out of it on Xbox One, totally worth it. Main story is average and the main missions feel like sidequests, but the writing and the fun will be there, for sure. Don't hesitate, this game is what all videogames should be: fun above everything.
