Sunset Overdrive was a one of a kind game but it did not live up to its projected hype. However, the gamers that did experience it still deem it one of the most fun zombie apocalypse games to play. It made waves by not taking itself too seriously and it was quite easy to spot that the creators of the game had lots of fan making and designing it.

That being said, the love letter to the action adventure that was Sunset Overdrive is rare to find in today’s market. However, if you look hard enough among the classics and a few modern titles, you might find some. Let’s look at games like Sunset Overdrive for PC you can experience.

Top 5 Games Like Sunset Overdrive For PC To Play

Sunset Overdrive is set in a post apocalyptic world where a hostile energy drink turns people into exploding zombies. Titled the ‘awesomepocalypse,’ Sunset Overdrive is the right blend of action, humor, character customization and beautiful colors that will keep you enticed until you have a new obsession. However, if you are one of the rare few who has played the game and need something just like that, these games will help you scratch that itch.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Our very first entry on this list can be considered a blend between Sunset Overdrive, Jet Set Radio and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk’s art style and movement is quite similar to Sunset Overdrive but it is not a shooter. Classified as a adventure platforming game, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk involves the players traversing New Amsterdam spray painting, evading authorities and raining havoc on the rival crews.

It’s cel shaded art style is one of its most appealing aspects and that aspect is what makes it similar to Sunset Overdrive. You will have tons of fun doing tricks on your inline skates with this one.

Hi-Fi Rush (Highly Recommended!)

Another underrated Xbox gem, Hi-Fi Rush went so much under the radar because it did not get a grandiose marketing budget like Atomic Heart or even Hellblade II. However, that did not stop the game’s quality from shining through. Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm game where the world is reacting to the music that Chai, the main character, is producing through the box in his heart.

Equipped with a guitar like weapon, Chai can produce beats with his weapon and wreck enemies with combos made with rhythm. The art style is quite similar to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Sunset Overdrive. The movement is smooth, the world is reactive, the characters are colorful and unique and Chai’s humor will keep you entertained. We highly recommend picking this one up.

Bulletstorm

Bulletstorm is one of the funniest and high octane games ever made up to the point that it reminds us of the insanity which was Duke Nukem 3D. With hilarious combat and big budget set pieces, Bulletstorm does not hold back on the testosterone and let’s you have it full force right from the get go. You take control of Grayson Hunt who is a space pirate in the 26th century who gets shot down on a hostile, war ravaged planet by his former boss who made him commit heinous war crimes, a classic revenge story.

There are eight different weapons you will use throughout the game, each of them has their unique appeal and individuality. Just expect tons of creative ways to kill enemies, lots of explosion, unnecessary and gritty humor. If you turn off your brain while playing this game, you will think its the greatest FPS of all time.

Crackdown 3

Not the best game of all time but it does the job of being chaotic, fun and being similar to Sunset Overdrive in terms of mechanics and movement. Crackdown 3 lets you take control of Commander Isiah Jaxon who is played by the infamous Terry Crews. Consider this game GTA on crack but not in a better way. The major appeal of this game is the destruction you will ensue once you take control of the Commander.

The objective of the game is to take out all of the criminal organizations by destabilizing their power and eliminating the crime lords. You will have an arsenal of weapons including your own enhanced body to achieve this end. Crackdown 3 might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it is a ton of fun like the other games on this list.

Psychonauts 2

Psychonauts 2 is described as a platforming game but it is much more than that. It is creative, has trippy visuals, cartoony voice acting and big set pieces. The game incorporates a decent amount of combat which is fun because of the variety of powers the protagonist, Raz has in his arsenal. From traversal to taking out foes, he has a power for everything. The upgrade system is simple and the game has quite a lot of areas to explore which is going to keep you occupied for hours.

Each level design is unbelievably creative and since Raz’s powers are associated with the brain, you will get to see a lot of cool set pieces associated with psychological concepts and twisted visuals. Psychonauts 2 is a fun experience through and through. The colorful characters, interactive open world, fluid platforming and the creative level design ensures a fun time that rivals Sunset Overdrive.
