The premise, in the publisher's words
FizzCo has released their new hit energy drink, OverCharge Delirium XT. The only itty bitty problem is that it’s caused everyone who drank it to turn into mutants. You are one of the survivors of Sunset City and now you must now band together with others (at least the ones who aren’t dicks) to try and escape. That’s easier said than done. Are you up for the challenge? Let’s hope so!

It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and open world. It supports multiplayer for up to 8 players online. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 80 achievements to unlock.

The main story runs about 14.7 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 40.5 hrs, roughly 2.8 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.0hz || AMD-FX-6300, 8 GB RAM and Geforce 750 Ti || AMD Radeon R7 260X. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 30GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Sunset Overdrive launched on 28 October 2014, within three weeks of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 1 year into the Xbox One's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition.
