That means you can look however you want to in Sunset Overdrive and it's one of the main strengths of the game. The best part is Insomniac looked ahead and made everything gender-neutral every piece of clothing, from sports bras or chest plates, can be worn on any of the models. These items range from t-shirts and jeans, to odd bits like the kangaroo codpiece or panda paws. It's worth pausing on that last part: Insomniac has filled Sunset Overdrive with all the shirts, pants, jackets, underwear, glasses, gloves, and other items it could think of. That means four body types (two male, two female), a host of faces, and motherlovin' crap-ton of clothing and accessory options. From the game's beginning, you're given the chance to customize your character as you see fit. I say "you" because you're the hero or heroine of Sunset Overdrive. Most of the characters are rather endearing in their own ways and seeing them play off of you is fun. It didn't have me hunched over in breathless guffaws, but the story did make me smile and chuckle. It felt satisfying, but a bit light, and the last group feels shortchanged compared to the earlier factions.īob just wrote an article about the lack of funny games, but Sunset Overdrive's writing is full of wit. All told, the critical path will take 10-15 hours. The story has you bouncing from group to group - they all hold different parts of the city - before wrapping it all up in a bow. These groups all have specific themes, from the samurai scouts of Troop Bushido to the LARP-heavy Fargaths. To do so, you'll need hook up with the various groups of survivors in the city. Now Sunset City is ground zero for an outbreak, most of the population isn't human anymore, Fizzco has the place on lethal quarantine, and it's up to you to find a way to freedom. You were too busy working and cleaning up after everyone else to drink any Overdrive, so you've missed out on mutation. Unfortunately, the soft drink company is more concerned with sales than safety, so they've inadvertently created a drink that turns people into mutated, zombie-like creatures. Sunset City is about to play host to the global launch party of Fizzco's new energy drink, Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive's setting and basic plot are just a backdrop for all the insanity. The resulting concoction is an absolute blast. The studio has also thrown in a love of classic punk rock. It's an open-world game with a bit of zombie action, some Jet Set Radio, and a helping of the developer's own Ratchet & Clank series. Insomniac Games' Sunset Overdrive is one of those games that you can broadly explain to enthusiast gamers by citing other genres or titles.
