It’s unconventional, and it’s going to be hard to top in any game that dares emulate it or tries something similar. When I think of games that did movement specially, Mirror’s Edge‘s spectacular first-person parkour and Saints Row IV‘s light-speed running/dashing come to mind. Once you get used to it, it feels GREAT! It took several hours for me to master, but I could get from point A to B in a flash while looking stylish the whole time. A far cry from the cover shooter many are accustomed to, Sunset Overdrive has you bouncing, grinding, wall-running, pole-swinging, and more to get around. After a brief introduction, I got a feel for the movement. Then, I remembered Insomniac Games, who are quickly becoming one of my favorite studios, developed this. So, I thought I’d give the game a go as it saw some optimization for the new platform, as it dropped four years after the original Xbox version.ĭrawn in by the chaotic, silly art style, I wondered how the gameplay would fare in a game so dedicated to a culture niche. I had only touched Rare Replay before regretting the purchase of the console, and never really got around to it. I came across Sunset Overdrive, which I previously bought for the month I actually had an Xbox One.

Continuing my search of games to play on Xbox Game Pass for PC, I found myself in my favorite genre of games: shooters.
