This game has it all...unique 3rd person, open world gameplay, amazing graphics, phenomenal art-style, incredible soundtrack, personality, humor...if this game was a woman, I would marry it.
First, the graphics/art style...You simply have to see this game in motion. A quick search on YouTube and you will see what I'm talking about. Some people have compared the art style to Saints Row, and there are definitely some similarities...but it would be Saints Row on steroids!
The colors just POP off the screen, and you can't help but be drawn to them. I can't emphasize enough how SICK and tired I am of the same damn brown and gray color palettes used in so many modern shooters and even other genres. Sunset Overdrive spits in the face of boring earth tones, and then punches you in the face with vibrant, pleasing colors.
Second, the soundtrack/audio...Again, the music will punch you in the face...repeatedly...but with an awesome, diverse Punk Rock soundtrack that I enjoyed so much, I went on Amazon Music and purchased the available MP3s. I grew up in the 90's and listened to my fair share of Punk, and this game has re-awakened that taste in me. I'm in my early 40's now, and there are some awesome songs on here that fit perfectly with the style of this game, and are even great to listen to when driving, working...whatever...these songs will pump your day up. The voice acting is great, funny, and again, perfectly fits the vibe of this game.
Gameplay...At first, when this game was announced, it really wasn't a blip on my radar (I also hadn't gotten an Xbox One, or even decided which system I was going to get), then closer to release, I started seeing and hearing more about this game, and I was really intrigued.
In fact, it is THIS game that is the reason I chose the Xbox One over PS4, and after playing this, I know I made the right decision. No disrespect to PS4, I really considered that system for The Last of Us, Uncharted 4, and Infamous to name a few, but Sunset Overdrive is the total package for me.
It is so much fun grinding on rails, jumping, air-dashing and shooting OD mutants, and Scab Punks to such a phenomenal soundtrack, reactive soundtrack. Also, I'm sure you've heard about the weapons...they are unique, fun, and have some amazing particle, and effects. The TNT Teddy gun is powerful, and one of my personal favorites...especially against the Herkers.
Microsoft made a fantastic move betting on this game as an exclusive, and I really hope it pays off. Insomniac really pulled out all the stops on this game, and it shows.
HIGHLY recommended if you are a gamer.
The first couple of hours, the mechanics definitely take some getting used to, but once you do, it's an absolute thrill ride you will remember for years to come.
I really hope that this game does well so a sequel is in the cards.
My favorite thing is that this is a HUGE open world. There's always something to discover and a task to do, so if you get stuck on one thing, you can still leave it and go work on something else. It really reminds me of how Tony Hawk was back in the day, how you could just run all over and do whatever you wanted and go wherever you wanted (that's how I remember it, anyway). And it really feels like you're on a skateboard without actually having one, because you can grind or do tricks off of basically anything solid, you bounce around like a rubber ball. You never sit still. You can't just stand around or you'll get torn to pieces. You literally have to always be moving once you put a few hours into the game.
I like how it doesn't take itself too seriously, because when games do that, that fall into being clones of other games, same plot, different characters, and that always bores me. This is truly something altogether different than anything I've played and it is totally unique and as unforgettable as any game can be. I will remember this game. And I sure hope there is a sequel!
The weapons are silly yet effective and fun to use. Like you only have a couple of basic, run-of-the-mill weapons. All the other weapons are made of totally random parts, like explosive teddy bears, a fireworks gun, an acid gun, etc. It's very cartoon-ish yet they're very effective. The outfits you can buy are really funny, like there's a unicorn outfit, pimp hat, etc. Just really colorful and it adds to the game as much as an outfit can.
I wish the main story was longer but even after beating the main story, I still have things to do that can continue play. I'd say it took 15-25 hours of play time. I don't focus just on the main tasks. I like to explore and complete collections and do the side quests. This game isn't easy. Like the main bosses are very difficult, but not impossibly difficult even for a casual gamer. I think it's still difficult enough for a gamer of any experience level.
So this is one of the best games I've ever played. Definitely the best I've played on Xbone, and definitely the most unique game I've ever played. This is a must have. It's in my top 5, easily.

Ya salió un port de PC, si no lo has jugado y no tienes XBOne, esa versión es un poco mejor por los agregados de DLC y desbloqueo de framerate
