Sunset Overdrive

Sunset Overdrive is an action third-person shooter game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Microsoft for the Xbox One on October 28, 2014 and Microsoft Windows on November 16, 2018. It's the only video game that Insomniac ever created exclusively for a console other than PlayStation.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Incredibly funny contemporary comedy.
 * 2) Great voice acting, which helps to improve the comedy.
 * 3) This game is a "full-cycle" in which Insomniac incorporated all of the elements from their previous games into this one.
 * 4) A great story that not only helps emphasize the comedy, but also helps to highlight some pressing issues in society, and is also self-aware.
 * 5) The gameplay is incredibly fun, and comparable to other games such as Jet Set Radio, Saints Row 2, Infamous and Ratchet & Clank.
 * 6) Great replay value.
 * 7) Tons of customization options.
 * 8) Very appealing art style. The graphics are colorful and there's different graphical effects featured in the game.
 * 9) Impressive presentation.
 * 10) Great punk-rock soundtrack.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While many feel the humor is great, it's not the type of humor that's able to satisfy everyone.
 * 2) With the exception of the intro before the title screen, none of the cutscenes are skippable.

Reception
Sunset Overdrive received generally positive reviews upon release, scoring an 81/100 on Metacritic and a 3.94 on GameFAQs.
