Initially enjoyable (with the caveat that the writing straddles the line between moderately funny and insufferably annoying), mostly in the Tony Hawk / Jet Set Radio movement that slowly wears off thanks to how.... slow it is. The whole game should be twice the pace that it actually is.

Sunset Overdrive is a wild ride from start to finish! It's like Tony Hawk, but with guns, monsters, and a ton of over-the-top humor. Bouncing around the city, destroying mutants with ridiculous weapons, and trying to survive the crazy apocalypse is an absolute blast. The story's a bit forgettable, and sometimes it gets annoying when you HAVE to grind rails, but if you want pure chaotic fun with a punk-rock attitude, Sunset Overdrive delivers.

Slow and uninteresting. This game doesn't feel like it's allowed to cuss. It's bad.
The corrupt save file thing is very real. I am BAFFLED that it ships like that, out of the box. I cannot access the save menu at all without it crashing. Blind Squirrel continuing their streak of terrible ports.
