Sunset Overdrive
Don’t miss the single-player campaign from the game that IGN awarded Best Xbox One Game of 2014, the game that Polygon rated 9 out of 10, and the game that Eurogamer calls “a breath of fresh air.” In Sunset Overdrive, the year is 2027 and Sunset City is under siege. A contaminated energy drink has transformed most of the population into toxic mutants. For many it's the end of the world, but for you it’s a dream come true. Your old boss? Dead. Your boring job? Gone. Transform the open-world into your tactical playground by grinding, vaulting and wall-running across the city while using a devastating, unconventional arsenal. With hyper-agility, unique weapons, and customizable special abilities. Embrace the chaos of Sunset City through a hyper-colorful, post-apocalyptic single-player campaign and two bonus expansions, Mystery of Mooil Rig and Dawn of the Rise of the Fallen Machines.

It does in fact run on steamdeck. There's a weird error message when you first launch the game and one of the save files always says it's corrupted, but other than that I've been having no issues and a great time.

You can be a hot goth girl with stockings and bunny girl headset while you grind in cables and destroy soda zombies.

I love this game! Although the PC port is pretty buggy compared to console. There's fixes on the community page which require digging into the game files. It doesn't take long, it just isn't very convenient. I would highly recommend attempting these fixes before diving into the game. My first couple hours on PC were fine until I was hit with the "Corrupt File" error, which erased all of my progress on my save. Luckily, this happened pretty early on. If the game is on sale then go for it! Just beware of the issues.

Criminally underrated. Somehow an 11 year old game beats most modern AAA with its hilariously witty dialogue, fluid movement, weapon variety, and in-depth character customization. Best of all, this is an open world game that respects your time and doesn't overstay its welcome. You can beat the main story in 8-10 hours. Many of the jokes still hold up today. I can't remember a game that made me laugh this much, seriously deserved more praise. The developer, Insomniac games, has been relegated to pumping out spiderman games which has remnants of this games movement but is too generic for my tastes. This game is from an edgy no f*cks given era, and we will likely never see a game like this again, truly a work of art. I didn't have nearly enough currency to buy the weapons halfway through the game so I recommend downloading WeMod and giving yourself money to skip the grind.

For me, it's intensely heartbreaking that this timelessly fantastic game won't get the sequel it'd been setting up. It's still a miraculously complete and solid experience, with a stunning amount of content and even more ecstatically satisfying and complex but also delightfully simple combat and movement. It's feels insanely good to play all-around, with a controller or a mouse and keyboard (with some keyboard input adjustments). Please play this game, and understand how unbelievably it was that this Insomniac classic didn't get the attention it absolutely deserved. Please, and give Sunset Overdrive a chance to someday get its glorious sequel.

Absolutely amazing!
It's a crime how unpopular this game is. The gameplay is a perfect mix of joy and relaxation, the performance is great, and the visuals/effects are stunning; this is the kind of game that I love.
Plus, the game has plenty of different and creative weapons that feel so good; some are very addictive and make you want to keep killing monsters over and over again. The movement and grinding mechanics make the game incredibly fun and an absolute must-play for me.

Fast paced, colorful, goofy, unapologetic, chaotic, addicting and a lot of charm.
I remember as a kid I wanted this game so bad but it was an xbox one exclusive but i was on playstation, don't know why I waited to play this for so long but i am glad i did. Most fun i've had in years.
Criminally underrated.
