It could have been the start of a new franchise, or at least worthy of a franchise, but instead remains playable in its original state will all the foibles that continue to hold it back. This game is bright, colourful, rebellious, and takes inspiration from countless classics while making sure to also craft its own distinct identity.

I don’t believe Sunset Overdrive is worthy of the reverence so many laud upon it, but I also understand perfectly where these people are coming from. I dabbled with it back in the day, but now I’m jumping in for realsies. Love my family, but this article isn’t about them, it’s about a lovable little gem called Sunset Overdrive that I’m finally getting around to playing after all these years. I then had to lug that bastard and all my other belongings across the country on a train journey because my parents weren’t willing to give me a lift back to campus. It’s been almost eight years since the game came out, and I remember getting an Xbox One bundle with a white console and digital download of the zany open world adventure for Christmas mere months after I started university. Even ahead of release, fans were enraptured by its colourful tone in a market filled with bland shooters and predictable blockbusters. Whenever Insomniac Games’ Xbox One exclusive is brought up in conversation a bunch of people will jump in to defend it - showering praise upon its creative parkour, fast-paced combat, and batshit humour that never once tries to take itself seriously. Sunset Overdrive is a beloved little gem.
