First Impression: Sunset Overdrive (XBox One)

This is the 211th instalment of our first impression video series. Today, we are playing Sunset Overdrive for the first time.

Welcome to the 211th instalment of our first impression video series. Today, we are playing the XBox One game, Sunset Overdrive for the first time. You can check out the video directly on YouTube or in the embed below:

This is one of those games I’ve heard about before, but never actually played. My understanding was that the inspiration was loosely surrounding Jet Set Radio, but those are games I never got the chance to play either. So, I was really going into this one blind.

What did strike me was how frantic the first part of the game was. It did make learning some of this a high concentration affair as I hope I put the right input in. It obviously doesn’t help when I’m constantly swapping controllers for different consoles, of course.

Still, I am curious to see how the rest of the game plays at the very least. There are elements that do seem promising at least.

For those who have played this game, what are your thoughts on this? Was this a great experience in your mind or did you think this was an over rated one?

For those who haven’t played this one, what did you think of what you saw here? Does this look like an interesting game that you might be interested in playing or does the pace seem like a bit of a turn off to you? Let us know in the comments below!
