Sunset Overdrive

Recommended Posts

I love the deployables - they are my favourite weapon type but I wouldn't have known that if it hadn't been for what you mentioned above.

 

It feels like Insomniac have learnt so much over the last few years. I was playing Resistance: Fall of Man recently and it has the homing bullet gun that is awesome but you basically use it for the entire game because, well why would you bother with anything else?

 

Miffy, once you have water run, smash and then jump, and Air dash - you should have all of the traversal abilities. Before playing online I would strongly recommend playing through until you unlock the mini rocket launchers as a deployable trap.

 

If you are interested in Multiplayer I am definitely up for some more, let me know!

The number of movement options is kinda crazy.  Just tonight, I found out about another option that I either missed in tutorial or just wasn't flat-out explained: if you go from grinding in underhang to overhang, hitting jump as you do that gives you an extra high jump.  Had no idea until I saw it on a loading screen tip.

I finally got around to finishing this last night.  I really enjoyed that game.  I only really ever used the fast travel systems in times where my objective marker was on the opposite side of the city, because even if it was half the city away, the traversal is so fast and fun that it's not a problem making something that would feel like a trek in many games.  The boss encounters are pretty cool, mostly because they take advantage of the traversal mechanics way more than the combat ones.

 

However, that edgy writing style does stick around.  It takes nothing even remotely seriously, cracks jokes about everything, and pretty much pretends the 4th wall doesn't exist.  There's a spot very late in the game where the main character makes a joke about how NeoGAF won't like something.  The game basically revels in how video game-y it is.
