unlabelledView post →So the Darkspawn in Dragon Age The Veilgaurd got a new look and while I've been playing I was thinking what do they remind me of... And it clicked! They remind me of the enemies from Sunset Overdrive with all those bright orange boils 😆 As a side note, Sunset Overdrive was a really fun game

unlabelledView post →I don't think any Xbox game would benefit more from a PlayStation port more than Sunset Overdrive. Emphasize that it's from the Spider-Man devs, treat it like a new release, and that could turn it into a big IP for Insomniac.
unlabelledView post →Playing Sunset Overdrive. My first thoughts are that if anyone finds a game over $500k again someone should steal this games whole design, minus the 2013 goofs.
unlabelledView post →What game have you played that no one knows about: I feel like people might know Sunset Overdrive but no one talks about it which is sad cuz that game goes so hard and deserves better
unlabelledView post →Sunset Overdrive feels like exactly the sort of game that should be a cult classic if it weren't so irritating.
unlabelledView post →Not complaining or anything, more so using this comment to bounce off a point. I've gotten some pushback regarding my take on Sunset Overdrive and it's usually with a defense like this about how the game "doesn't care" and "that's the point" but it doesn’t really work for me as a defense ngl...

unlabelledView post →Insomniac becoming a Marvel factory is maybe the thing that makes me the most depressed about the game industry. I'd kill for a return to somewhat regular Ratchet & Clank releases, or a Sunset Overdrive 2.
unlabelledView post →10. Building off of take 3 somewhat, I think it's entirely possible to criticize aspects of a game without automatically throwing out the entire game as a whole. I think Sunset Overdrive has like the most obnoxious writing ever but I don't hate the entire game because of that.

unlabelledView post →With Sunset Overdrive being my next stream game, I may need to make a slight change to my strategy. I wanted to multistream to as many platforms as possible, but considering my bitrate limits, I'm thinking I'll need to alternate Twitch and Kick. 🤷 Otherwise, both platforms will be a pixel-y mess 🤣

unlabelledView post →Maybe a weird one, but Sunset Overdrive is a game i love! It got dunked on for being too cringy and internet humor based but the gameplay is some of the most fun I've ever had! The movement was so smooth and fun, I spent hours just running around in it

unlabelledView post →Watching @mxfee.bsky.social play Control Resonant and all I can think of is Infamous and Prototype. It's a vibe I don't get a lot of from any other games. Maybe Sunset Overdrive? Is there a term for this specific genre of game or is it basically just a traversal based open world with superpowers?
unlabelledView post →Hey, @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social and @pixelbytegaming.bsky.social gave this game a fair shake. And unlike some reviewers, this one reads like it was written by someone who actually played the game! (I like the Sunset Overdrive comparison near the end - another imperfect but fun Insomniac game!)
unlabelledView post →Stream over 🫠 Ngl I crashed out a bit 😅 To soothe my achy mind, I spun my wheel to pick a new game; Sunset Overdrive
unlabelledView post →Finished Sunset Overdrive, took me roughly a month + change to finish an 8 hour game with a newborn Shines when it builds cleverly designed levels + bosses around its incredible movement. Bogged down by too many combat arenas and some, uh, of the time writing. They should make a Spider-Man game
unlabelledView post →This is like how Denshattack! made me slowly come to terms with the fact that I personally out grew Sunset Overdrive and just find it unpleasant to sit through due to it's attitude even if I still think it's a fun game from a gameplay standpoint
unlabelledView post →Unironically yeah, I had the same feeling playing Sunset Overdrive: a game so early 10s it hurts.
unlabelledView post →Sunset Overdrive isn't a bad game and I kept making that clear in the video, I just dislike how it's written because it feels like it's trying to hard to be cool and often comes off as embarrassed of itself. That was kinda my point, but apparently I "don't get Sunset Overdrive" because of this.

unlabelledView post →Sunset Overdrive was a great and very stupid game and I'm sad we're probably never getting a sequel
unlabelledView post →Installing Sunset Overdrive! Easily the best Xbox game I've played. Would love to see a sequel someday, but that seems unlikely at this point

unlabelledView post →Yeah, there's a through-line there for sure. For Fuse the lesson IG learned was to stick to their guns regarding their vision for a game and not let it get focus-tested to hell. They brought this learning to Sunset Overdrive, which they stuck with and believed in.
unlabelledView post →I'm done with Playing "Sunset Overdrive". I loved it. Was a good Game for in-between. Loved the Crazy Weapons, the humor and references to different Games and Movies. Really nice what Insomniac Games has cooked there (Makers of Ratchet and Clank)
unlabelledView post →If there was any game on here I would pitch to people to try, it'd be Sunset Overdrive. Anything else people may have played or known. Sunset Overdrive BOMBED on release and is dirt cheap 2nd hand. It and the cancelled Scalebound was the whole reason I bought an Xbox one. It's a great game tho.
