Sunset Overdrive, crazy but beautiful!

It´s Autumn, the sky is gray and a cold wind is blowing through the trees that are losing their leaves, what a depressing time of the year. But wait! Here is Sunset Overdrive to kick some colourful crazy action into your gaming life! Especially after playing the Evil Within this feels so refreshing, just to look at all the colours and the crazy tricks you can do while shooting these strange creatures. But is it enough to keep you entertained for some time?


When I first saw this game I thought that it would be a bit like Saints Row but then even more crazy, which is actually not that far off though. Especially when you look at the later Saints Row titles, Sunset Overdrive will take things not too seriously and you can still beat the shit out of enemies. Wether these are zombie like monsters coated in colours or assholes with guns, you can kill them all! The big bonus is that you can do this in style, because on the ground you´re actually quite vulnerable so it´s safer to just grind a rail and shoot enemies while sliding around.


So it also has some Assassin´s Creed influence? Well Assassin´s Creed on crack maybe, but this goes so much further than just some simple parkour. You can bounce off cars and use powerlines to grapple on and of course slide on a rail, you could move around the entire city without even touching the ground once you get the hang of it! So once again this isn´t a serious game, it´s meant to be fun and fun is what you´ll have when you play this game. You can play this game alone or together with seven other people, yes that´s quite a lot! You can also customize your own character, so the character that you play as in the game is (hopefully) a unique character that you can show off to others.


There is a lot of free roaming in this game so you´re able to check things out on your own or with friends if you want to. This game feels like there are no limits and it wouldn´t surprise me if the limits will be difficult to find, but the main reason to buy this game should be for fun and especially having fun with other people. Killing monsters and people that get in your way is a nice bonus. So if CoD Advanced Warfare isn´t your cup of tea but you do want to go on a killing spree? Pick up Sunset Overdrive (released in the USA on the 28th of October and in Europe on the 31th) if you feel like relaxing and going crazy in your spare time, it´s a fun game where you can unwind after a long day at school or work. If you like games and you like to have fun then this game might be something for you!
