Microsoft keeps continuing to count down the days to 2015 by providing various deals and discounts on some of the company’s recent and old games. One of the games is quite popular among the discount loving Microsoft fans. It is the third-person color explosion shooter from Insomniac Games, Sunset Overdrive.
Major Nelson declared the news that Microsoft will continue to give out massive discounts on their popular, as well as not-so-popular titles, leading up to the New Year. A recent discount rolls in at almost 50% for Sunset Overdrive on the Xbox One. It is available at a low price of $30 compared to its regular. It is quite a massive deal on a console-based game. However, compared to the Steam Winters Sale, it is still nothing.
At the same time, Microsoft is also providing huge discounts on other games like The Voice, TMNT Out of the Shadows and TMNT Danger of the OOZE along with Fantasia. There are a lot amongst you who remember the poor ratings received by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. It received quite a few poor reviews. Therefore, it’s most likely not the game you should be focusing on right now.
In the meantime, Sunset Overdrive was the exclusive released for Xbox One, earlier in October. The game provides you with over-the-top action conducted by extremely fast-paced battles and equally crazy and devastating guns. Insomniac Games decided to incorporate their Ratchet and Clank expertise in this title where the gamers are allowed to fool around with explosive props and fantasy guns.
They are bound to spread a big fat smile across the face of many gamers all over the world. If you are looking for a crazy ride, something different from the pseudo-realistic military simulators that you are used to, you should definitely pick this one up. The entire plot revolves around a crazy energy drink that will turn people into weird, colorful monsters. In Aachi and Ssipak, we saw a similar story where little blue monsters were addicted to the ‘cream’ sticks.
It’s all up to the players to blast their way across the monsters in many violent and ever-creative ways. You can keep doing all of this while making your way through the mesmerizing city structures and rails that are almost similar to the environments featured in Sega’s Jet Set Radio series.
Over time, a lot of gamers started to fancy Sunset Overdrive due to its heterogeneous and garage-punk style soundtracks and varying visual themes that provide the game a personality of its own. Insomniac Games also released a brand new DLC known as the Mysteries of the Mooil Fog. Anyone feeling like purchasing Sunset Overdrive now is certainly the right time to do so.
