About this game

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 buildings, run along walls, and grind power lines and rails to destroy your foes from every angle.
- Over-the-top Weapons - Collect and upgrade an arsenal of unconventional weapons that use items like dynamite, fireworks, harpoons, and acid to destroy your enemies.

    So, last year s best game was actually Sunset Overdrive

    As the sun set over 2018, I was delighted to discover one last gem. An irrepressibly playful, hyper-imaginative shooter with the best movement system since Spider-Man – according to my chronology, at least. Xboxers got all their raving about Sunset Overdrive done five years ago, but it only fell under RPS’s remit when it came to PC last November. We didn’t review it. We should have. (more…)

    Sunset Overdrive grinds onto PC today minus multiplayer

    Sunset Overdrive, Insomniac’s silly semi-open-world platform shooter has arrived on PC after a long stint as an Xbox One exclusive. It’s bright, loud, dumb and the PC version launches at budget price, including all the previously-expensive DLC. There’s just one horrible mutant fly in the ointment: Our version is single-player only, and misses out on the excellent eight-player Chaos Squad multiplayer mode. Still a good game, but it’s a pity to see such a major part axed in the transition. A familiar (but slightly sharper) trailer is below. (more…)

    It looks like Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive is heading to PC

    UPDATE 15/11/18: After months of leaks from the various video game ratings boards of the world, it's now official: Insomniac's wonderfully ridiculous open-world shooter Sunset Overdrive is coming to PC, and it'll launch tomorrow, November 16th. To celebrate the announcement, Insomniac has released a crisp PC launch trailer, which you can admire in all its preposterous, post-apocalyptic glory below. Notably, the developer has so far only confirmed Sunset Overdrive for release on "Windows 10 PC", and thus presumably the ever-unpopular Microsoft Store, but a recently discovered Steam database listing suggests it could be heading to Valve's storefront too.
