In todays video game market, the highest-selling games are typically military shooters. Ones that require the player to hide behind cover, take pot-shots at enemies with realistically-rendered weaponry, and move along a guided path that hopefully tells a decent story along the way. Sunset Overdrive is not that game, and thats exactly what Insomniac Games wants you to know. Overdrive starts you off as a janitor for a giant corporation called Fizzco, which just released a new energy drink called OverCharge Delirium XT. The company is hosting a youth-filled EDM party in Sunset City, where young adults party and drink the orange caffeinated beverage. It doesnt take long before everything goes to hell, and those who drank it turn into hideous orange mutants and start to chase you down. EDM music turns into punk rock guitar riffs as you run for your life.

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes: "In a world where most video games come in different shades of gray and brown, only certain titles try and stand out from the rest by taking advantage of a varied color palette. While most of these titles happen to be developed by Japanese studios, occasionally a Western developer will try something different. In the case of Insomniac Games, they have a bit of history when it comes to making unique games and now that Sunset Overdrive has been released, is it worth picking up?"

Gamer Headlines writes: Sunset Overdrive takes everything its developer Insomniac Games has been known for and mixes it up to deliver a satisfyingly captivating new IP that isnt scared of making fun of itself and even the gaming industry as a whole. With its wacky writing, phenomenal traversal mechanics, colorful visuals and punk-rock attitude, Sunset Overdrive results in one of the dumbest, yet funnest Third-Person Shooters I have played in a very long time.

Polygon: "Sunset Overdrive is a game that focuses on the enjoyment of the player. Just moving around the in-game world can be a joyful experience as you grind and jump and string combos together to unlock in-game bonuses. Its a game that knows how to cut out much of the bullshit that can hurt the enjoyment of that sort of game, and one of the things Insomniac Games handled nearly perfectly are the checkpoints."

Invisible Gamer's Gabe Gurwin writes: "Insomniac Games needed a home run. After the conclusion of the Resistance series and the critical and financial flop of Fuse, the normally acclaimed studio seemed to be straying from what made its games so popular in the first place. Instead of colorful characters, inventive gameplay, or silly narratives, it produced titles that, while polished, lacked the soul that defined its earlier works. Fortunately, with the teams Xbox One debut, Insomniac has not just returned to its earlier greatness; it has also given the struggling Xbox One the home run it needed. Sunset Overdrive is stupid, loud, fast, irreverent, and the purest fun Ive experienced in a game all year."
