Sunset Overdrive

So Glad I Bought An Xbox One

This game is awesome. I've described it to people as Jet Set Radio Future meets Left 4 Dead, which I think works pretty well. I beat the storyline a while back, but the replay value is excellent. I'm still completing all the side quests and getting all the collectibles. There are a lot of achievements to get through if you're into that sort of thing and most of all, this game is tons of fun. It's vulgar, gorey, it's got punk rock music and even a cameo from King Buzzo of the Melvins. You can turn off the swearing and set it to low-gore if you're buying this for a kid, but really, this game is meant to be enjoyed by adults.

My pick for best game of 2014...
...and one of my top games of all time!
This game has it all...unique 3rd person, open world gameplay, amazing graphics, phenomenal art-style, incredible soundtrack, personality, humor...if this game was a woman, I would marry it.

First, the graphics/art style...You simply have to see this game in motion. A quick search on YouTube and you will see what I'm talking about. Some people have compared the art style to Saints Row, and there are definitely some similarities...but it would be Saints Row on steroids!
The colors just POP off the screen, and you can't help but be drawn to them. I can't emphasize enough how SICK and tired I am of the same damn brown and gray color palettes used in so many modern shooters and even other genres. Sunset Overdrive spits in the face of boring earth tones, and then punches you in the face with vibrant, pleasing colors.

Second, the soundtrack/audio...Again, the music will punch you in the face...repeatedly...but with...

One of the best Xbox One games out right now.

I was very hesitant to give this game a try, but I am really glad that I did. You have to play it to see why it is so good. The game is gorgeous, there is a ton of stuff to do, the characters are all funny and the gameplay is fantastic! This is probably one of the best games on Xbox One right now. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
