I'm not sure what I was expecting going into this, my only exposure to the franchise was playing the demo for crack in time a long time ago and very much disliking it, but the price was right and I decided to give it a shot.

I was completely blown away by this game, great platforming, great shooting, amazing variety of weapons to use, collectables all over the place, very good story and characters then I had a realization, this game is Sunset Overdrive but it came out first.

Only having quick access to 4 weapons at a time was a major drag and made some of the boss fights much harder than they needed to be.

The game really looks fantastic but I had issues with the final few cutscenes where the game would lag out as if watching a streaming video that was buffering, never had something like that happen in a game before, no issues while actually playing the game.

Liked it, and I'll have to give sunset overdrive another shot.
