You need to shift your mind out of the comfort zone it’s probably firmly entrenched in and start thinking a little differently.īlasting around like a chimpanzee having a sugar rush feeds straight into the combat, too. There’s a bit of a steep learning curve to it, mind you. Insomniac really know how to make movement feel amazing, and Sunset Overdrive is a masterclass. I’d put moving around Sunset Overdrive up there with swinging through the streets in Marvel’s Spider-Man, which is fitting given it’s the same developers. The whole city is designed so that you never have to touch the ground and so that you can pull off awesome moves. Stuff like cars and bins can be used like trampolines to launch yourself into the air, you can slide and grind along railings and power lines and you can wall-run indefinitely before leaping off. The heart of soul of Sunset Overdrive is how amazingly fun it is to traverse the colourful world while murdering the shit out of monsters.
Here’s the setup to this madness: a company has launched a brand new energy drink, but things have gone a bit wrong and instead of giving people a burst of energy it’s giving people a burst of TURNING INTO A MUTANT! Got it? Good, let’s go. Coming from Insomniac Games, the people behind such awesomeness as Ratchet & Clank and the Resistance series, Sunset Overdrive looks, plays and feels like it came from the mind of someone who pounded 20 cans of energy drink and then went into some sort of trance while someone else hastily copied down every single insane word that came out of their mouth. The list of exclusive Xbox One games is not long nor all that impressive, and yet somehow Sunset Overdrive still manages to get overlooked despite it being, in my opinion, one of the best Xbox exclusives ever. While I’ll certainly include some of the bigger titles available on the service, I’ll focus more on other games that you might have overlooked in the hope of leading you to a hidden gem. Welcome to Best of Xbox Game Pass where each week I’m going to pick out a game available on Game Pass and explain why I think it is worth playing.
