Sunset Overdrive feels like exactly the sort of game that should be a cult classic if it weren't so irritating. The movement system is super unique, the art direction is fantastic, and the soundtrack is solid. The mission design is quite mediocre, and having to bounce up and down every time you want to shoot something becomes tiresome, but it's genuinely quite fun most of the time. The overall tone of the thing is grating though. The characters are all various shades of unlikeable, and the humour feels forced. I had a good time in spots and there's lots to admire, but I found the whole experience kind of obnoxious.
