The controls are a bit hard to get used to coming from the XB1 version of the game, but it becomes second nature after you get a bit in. Multiplayer seems to not be up yet, but multiplayer isn't the main mode anyways.… Expand

It's a little tricky to learn at first, but it rewards your engagement in spades after the first few hours.
   
   I thought it was going to be pretty limited, based on first impressions. How much scope can there be, I thought, in this skateboard-plus-shooting gameplay? Won't I hate the wacky humour? I was very happy to be proved wrong, as the game revealed some great level-design and new surprises, and the humour turns out to be much better pitched than the trailer suggested. Also, as someone who loves character customisation, I love the tweaking on offer here.… Expand

   It's unique in its way, and the map is pretty good, yeah the controls in the PC version are a little bit **** but you get used to them.
   
   I don't give it a 9 because it gets a bit repetitive in some missions, and for the controls, but it is one of the most funny and unique games I've ever played in my life.
   
   I truly recommend this game for all of you. :)… Expand

   Sunset Overdrive is a stylish open-world action game focused on using highly agile movement and silly weapons to fight a variety of foes. YouSunset Overdrive is a stylish open-world action game focused on using highly agile movement and silly weapons to fight a variety of foes. You play as a nameless protagonist, a former member of the janitorial staff who manages to barely escape from a horrible horde of people who have been mutated into monsters by drinking an energy drink.
   
   No, seriously.
   
   The game’s core gameplay is very good. The protagonist has the ability to grind along things like power lines and the edges of roofs, bounce high off of cars and dumpsters as if they were springboards, swing around off of poles to get higher, and smash the ground with a ground pound attack then immediately jump for a super jump. Combined with the ability to skate across the surface of water, air dash, and wall run, the protagonist is hyper-agile, and the game exploits this to its fullest. Enemies will spawn in large numbers and swarm you, and if you stand still, you’ll quickly get surrounded and pounded on; by moving around the environment, you both avoid getting hit as well as give yourself more breathing space to aim and fight. All of this naturally encourages you to exploit the movement mechanics to their fullest.
   
   The weapons, too, are fun to use. Unlike all too many third person shooters, this game has an enormous variety of weapons, and they *feel* highly varied. There are some classics – the grenade launcher (reflavored as a launcher that launches teddy bears with explosives strapped to them), a rocket launcher (a rigged-up propane tank launcher), a hand cannon style pistol, a shotgun (with a pair of metal balls on it that definitely aren’t compensating for anything), and an assault rifle. But you also get many strange weapons – deployable sprinklers that spread acid all around them, pistols taped to propellers that float around and shoot nearby foes, a vinyl record launcher that bounces records between enemies, a freeze bomb. There’s even special weapons that are given out on specific missions, like a nuclear powered magical sword and a kitty launcher that summons a robotic dog to tear apart your enemies.
   
   The protagonist also has a crowbar they can use to beat up enemies in melee combat, swing around in a circle while grinding on stuff to clear off nearby enemies, or use to pound the ground.
   
   On top of all this, there’s special amps that you can equip to yourself and to your weapons which add additional effects. Weapon amps add things like random nuclear explosions when you kill enemies, or extra ammo drops, or levelling up your weapons faster (as weapons gain xp in the game by using them more often, and become more powerful as you do so). There are melee amps which add special effects when you attack enemies, mostly in the form of expanding the AoE with some sort of added effect, like setting enemies on fire or pushing them away with wind. There are “epic amps”, which shoot out fire and lighting around you.
   
   All of these amps are activated by building up enough “style” in combat, which is gained by doing special maneuvers (like grinding or wall running) and killing enemies; the more you do these things, the higher your meter gets, and the more of your amps turn on. Standing around or not doing much in the way of special maneuvers will cause the meter to drain, further encouraging the player to keep moving.
   
   This all adds up to a very dynamic combat system, and it is a lot of fun maneuvering around the city and shooting stuff.
   
   Where the game ends up struggling a bit is with repetition. Like most open-world games, the game has a main storyline, as well as some sidequests. Unlike most open-world games, there’s actually relatively few sidequests, and they mostly do something at least quasi-interesting. The game will periodically add in new random mechanics or minigames to try and mix things up, like defending a moving boat or fighting with a unique quest weapon. There are also challenges, which are all minigames, often focusing on platforming or killing a lot of enemies in a short period of time. And this is all well and good.
   
   But the game clocks in around 30 hours long, including all the DLC, but there’s only 14 types of enemies, and none of them are especially threatening. While the game spaces out its new enemies, gradually introducing them over the course of the game, you do end up spending a lot of time throughout the game fighting the same sorts of enemies over and over again, and the enemies can't really threaten you.
   
   If you’re a fan of open-world games, this is a great example, and you’ll probably think it is pretty great. And if you want to unleash your inner 12 year old, this game will definitely do that.
   
   But if you don’t like open-world games, this won’t be what changes your mind.… Expand

   - Upbeat music
   
   Cons
   - Controls are awkward, especially with a keyboard and mouse.
   - The shooting feels off. You can't really aim weapons. Instead the game allows you to just spam click in the general direction of enemies and aiming auto-assist directs your shots.
   - Frame rate capped at 30 fps.… Expand
