I utterly agree with OP's praise of SO. The one...no, let's make that two qualifiers I would add/append are these:

1.) Assume the game doesn't begin until you get the air-dash. This is as integral as jumping would be to Mario, in my mind.

2.) The game's tone is a complete success, and it's no small part of it. If you think it's too cringe-worthy, which you may, it's my opinion you're having the same reaction someone who likes alternative music who doesn't enjoy grunge or rap would to stand-outs in those genres. Give it a chance. That's no guarantee on its own.

Got it for $7 quite a few months back from Bestbuy (Thanks GCU.) It can go lower than $17.

But seriously its a fun game especially for under $20

I'd buy it for 10. Maybe in a year or two when I end up with one. Or maybe I can get one of them used ones for 200.

Brilliant video game. It's my favorite thing Insomniac has done, right up there with Ratchet: A Crack in Time.

Huge Rachel and Clank ACiT fan here too.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Phenomenal game. Absolutely buy this if you're interested at all. It's among the best games of the generation.

 

[Savinowned]

Man, I'm tempted to pick it up again. I just really wish it had a new game + option, or a way to start up a new game without deleting your first character. I know you can go back and pick missions to do over, but it's not the same as actually progressing through the game.

Dude I so agree! I couldn't believe it when it wouldn't let me do that... So I haven't picked it up since

 

[Gestault]

The game is a blast, but it's got a really awful sense of humor at times.

"Man, collecting crates sure is lazy game design!"

collects crates

It's not funny if you criticize something, and then still do it. Why do people not get this?

The times the game makes that sort of callout, then briefly makes you do the thing, then utterly shatters that activity by giving you an ability/event to circumvent it is worth pointing out.

 

[MikeE21286]

Bought. Thanks!

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

I don't buy physical media. Digital or bust.

Spoiler

I don't own an Xbone

Spoiler

Wish I did so I could play this game

 

[Sydle]

My favorite game of the generation by far and the most enjoyable open world-game I've played yet. My favorite boss fights in about a decade.

It's right up there with Up Your Arsenal and A Crack in Time, better even.

Buy it.

Agreed.

 

[Dabanton]

Best game of the generation so far.

Certainly agree, Also one of the best new IP's.

It would be criminal if MS abandoned any sequel plans because they were silly enough to release it when the AAA behemoths were coming out.

 

[Tarahiro]

I already own it. Bought it day one and don't regret it. Absolutely fantastic game and well worth full price I thought so would definitely recommend it at this price! Great game.

 

[robertlebrone]

Not interested. Nice deal though.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Good old Sunset Overdrive

 

[RoKKeR]

Really an incredible game, I'd recommend it to just about anybody.

 

[Hubble]

Buy it. It has the best gameplay I have seen from a game in sometime. The combos with the amazing weapon variety and pretty graphics is superb.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

It's been the most fun I've had with a game, this gen so far.

The only niggle I have is with the soundtrack - there just wasn't enough cool tunes to be bouncing about that crazy colourful world too and if that's the only negative I have then it's a pretty great fucking game.

So yeah, if you have an Xbox buy it if you haven't already.

In-game, I thought the soundtrack (and the unexpected musical guest) were really good, but I admit, listening to the soundtrack as background tunes during workouts or whatever, the music does have a sort of samey feel after a few listens.

 

[biteren]

i bought this last year, this game was alright

 

[Pimpbaa]

One of the best xb1 games, one of the best Insomniac games, buy it!

 

[BTM]

Still my favorite game of this gen. Too bad we probably won't see a sequel. Insomniac please

 

[ryan299]

if only they would put the season pass on sale. I've been waiting so long.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Absolutely fantastic game well worth the price.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Play this game with tempered expectations and you'll have a better time than going in while being over hyped.

 

[Shang]

Personally tied with Splatoon for best new IP this generation. Super good, if plagued by by-the-numbers mission design.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Probably the only good Xbox exclusive I've played this gen.

 

[Grim Patron]

Great OST as well. Anyone with an Xbox One should get on this.

Buy it. Best gameplay and level design in an open world setting in a long, long, long time.

please give this game a sequel

Yes please. and you can go everywhere in that gif. Game is amazing.

 

[Nuke Soda]

Great game. That is all.

 

[OniBarubary]

But I don't have an XBox One. =/

I do wanna play it real bad though.

 

[Xav]

Fun game but the humour sucks.

Maybe it's because I live in the UK, am biased as a result and prefer Conker's Bad Fur Day.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I love this game.

I might be biased, tho.

Where's the sequel?!?!?

 

[Mister Negative]

I really want this game to get a PC port. I'd love to play it.

 

[statham]

No thanks.

Why?

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Wow, great price for an amazing game! I'd double dip if that was the digital download price.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

DISCOUNT THE SEASON PASS ALREADY MICROSOFT

 

[nephilimdj]

Fun game and fun weapons
Nice open world

Soso story, writing and tower defense mechanic

Very solid game for fun factor, had a blast for about 10 hours for the 30bucks I got it for.

 

[statham]

But I don't have an XBox One. =/

I do wanna play it real bad though.

I going to buy a PS4 for 1 game, Dream, I really want to play it and a PC port so far might not happen. I can tell you seriously Sunset looks like a once in a gen thing thing, that is just perfect. The humor what every is against-is hilarious.

 

[Garrett 2U]

The game is incredible, buy it so I can have a sequel!

 

[Monocle]

DISCOUNT THE SEASON PASS ALREADY MICROSOFT

Seconded.

 

[Siphorus]

I want to buy, but Amazon is returning an error when I process my order 😢

 

[Herbs]

I want to buy, but Amazon is returning an error when I process my order 😢

me too.

 

[friskykillface]

such a great game, had so much fun playing it
loved the character creation and getting clothes, she rocked the game B^)

 

[User 479360]

That's a steal. The game is great.

Please play it if you haven't and get the chance, because it's a lot of fun and I'd hate to see it enter forgotten territory. The DLC is also good.

I really want a sequel.

 

[iBlue]

I want it digitally :/

 

[Nick]

Best game of the generation so far.

This. I've bought this game (at this price) for two of my friends, and made another one purchase it immediately. I'll never stop advocating for this masterpiece.

 

[DasPenguin]

Fun game but the humour sucks.

Maybe it's because I live in the UK, am biased as a result and prefer Conker's Bad Fur Day.

This is one of those threads that will get some buyers really upset. "Game of the generation"... really? I wonder why many people called the Resistance series irrelevant last gen? That was a suprisingly good shooter, and I have always been an Insomniac fan. Maybe because it was on the wrong console, I don't know. Also I love open world games, the videos I saw from Sunset before bying it looked amazing, the city looked like fun...etc. And then I got the game.

Although the traversal system is really neat (for a little while), the town feels as "empty" as the original Saints Row. And I've said this before: the story was most definitely written with crayons. I love collectibles and had zero interest to look for stuff in Sunset. Love the idea, hate the execution.

Many reasons to buy an Xbox One if you loved the 360, but Sunset is most definitely not one of them. Try it out if you really want to, but don't be surprised if "game of the generation" doesn't show up.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I'm currently playing and it's a cool game except for its humor which is not my thing, might want to double dip and get a physical copy with that price.

 

[BHK3]

I really wanna get an xbox one just for this game but last time I was on the fence Gears of War and Killer Instinct got announced for PC :/
