Sunset Overdrive is big, gorgeous, and a hell of a lot of fun. Never has getting from point A to point B in an open-world game provided so much enjoyment. It provides some of the most fun, frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to once-again adorn my wolf mask, leap off the highest ledge I can find, and fire an explosive stuffed animal at that group of angry robots.

Yet there’s also plenty of the Insomniac’s own heritage in there too. This is the studio that mastered weird and wonderful weaponry in the Ratchet and Clank series, then managed to bring the same imagination to a gritty, sci-fi RPS in the Resistance series. It’s no surprise, then, that Sunset Overdrive features a smorgasbord of idiosyncratic and inventive armaments. Sunset Overdrive’s gruesome, postulant mutants, meanwhile, aren’t totally dissimilar to Resistance’s Chimera hordes. There’s also more Ratchet and Clank here than you might expect. After all, Ratchet wasn’t averse to the odd spot of rail-grinding, and there are certainly spots of wall-running, bounce-pad hopping platforming to be found in Insomniac’s latest. Sunset Overdrive might be heavily indebted to other games, but it works so well because it also plays to Insomniac’s own strengths.
