IndianVideoGamer says: "Sunset Overdrive is perhaps the most personal game I’ve played this year. The entire feel and tone is reminiscent of college projects put together by mass media students, which I once was. In an attempt to be “creative”, I would stick in pop culture references, try hard to break the fourth wall, and use all sorts of tricks to make a presentation on say, subliminal messaging, seem more interesting than it could be. However, when the haunting refrain of the Imperial March from Star Wars fails to elicit a response and jokes related to mind control fly over the heads of peers and professors, you soon realise that you ended up isolating everyone in an attempt to be relatable. Falling down as I presented didn’t get me any sympathy either."
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.

In fact, specifically where Sunset Overdrive is concerned, the money the studio has made off it is quite negligible, to say the least."
Not gonna lie... looking at the IG roadmap I was fully hoping to see SSOD2 and Resistance reboot on there. The first SSOD was fun. It definitely needed the benefits of a 60fps mode and I was expecting there to be some sort of patch or FPS boost support when played on SX. Sadly... that ship sailed, but Sony gave me hope they would do the game justice. It really is a fun game that deserves to be played.
If it were on PlayStation it would’ve sold better. Being a Microsoft exclusive was a mistake.

I'm sure that big platform jump had nothing to do with it right? Pull a Rare, win Rare Prizes.
Re. R&C and the 8 million, I wonder if hitting PS+ Extra hurt its legs? Good get for the service, but did it eat some sales?
Even if they've laid dormant for a long time or were known for their massive scale, these franchises could work as more condensed games.
I don't think you can get more condensed than Second Son, it was pretty short and felt like stuff was missing at times.
What's with companies wanting to shorten games? It's as if they want to cater to gamepass and lower the quality of games.
I agree Dino Crisis and ZOE. But I also want Sony to dust off Wild Arms. See if Square can do something with Parasite Eve and Grandia. Would love a new Resistance game also Kain just so many great titles and franchises that need to see the light again.
InFamous 1&2 Remakes would kick so much ass. They are inherently fun to play and modern visuals would rock.
