Item: Sunset Overdrive
Rating: 8.2

If you wanted to play Playstation Marvel's Spiderman 2018 on PC, this is the game that gets closest to it. Except for web swinging, It has all the mechanics like wallrunning, pole swinging and super jump as its made by the same developers, Insomniac Games. The open world is filled with challenges, platforms to jump on and collectibles. The 4th wallbreaking is hilarious at times and respawn animations are the best I have seen. Its sadly a hidden gem and not many people know about this game.

A fun filled 4th wallbreaking adventure

I recently played this game and I was blown away that it was developed by Insomniac Games. It has some familiar gameplay tone with games such as Spiderman. Although they have different approaches here. This game is actually weirdly fun.

So much Style!

A hidden gem to be honest. Try it out it’s free on game pass.

A neon-soaked explosion of action and weirdness. "Sunset Overdrive" is a joy to play, it being filled with bonkers characters, collectibles, and lots and lots of weapons. The story is tongue-in-cheek and disposable, but the game feels so great it really doesn't matter. One of the better Xbox exclusives, making this a must play for the system.
