Sunset Overdrive is a very silly and funny game that doesn't take itself seriously at all, and you shouldn't either! The game is full, like, non-stop, of jokes. Some are even kinda clever and genuinely funny. Nothing that made me laugh out loud, but still, funny.

The story is just there. It really isn't that interesting, there aren't many characters, and they don't really do much other than give you assignments. The protagonist is also just a goofy psycho. There was actually one moment in the story I was surprised because the protagonist was actually heroic.

The gameplay and the soundtrack are why you would actually play this game. This game has very fun movement. You can jump, slide on rails, edges, wall run and much more. It is a third-person shooter, but with very lenient aim assist, so you can focus on keeping your movement while unloading a diverse cast of silly and wacky guns on your enemies. In my opinion, though, is that the combat is much more fun when you get to slaughter a horde of enemies other than just a couple of more elite ones.

The soundtrack is pretty good. It is formed by mostly punk or garage rock, and then there are some electronic dance musics.

One relatively minor issue I had is the fact that your clothes and costumes textures are kinda low quality. It might be understandable, as this game came out in 2014 and only for the Xbox One, but, it was a little distracting to see how the clothes were blurred.

Overall, Sunset Overdrive is a fun, casual game that you can just play to relax or kill time.
