The value story

March 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. 55 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 19 percent on value. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected ($19.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Just Cause™ 3 ($19.99, scores 65).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 30 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 1,303 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 10.1 hours; clearing it takes 34, which is 3.4 times the campaign.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 10.1-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

Verdict ✅ Recommended A fun, stylish, fast-paced open-world action game that is still worth trying. My history with the game I finished Sunset Overdrive on Steam in 7 hours. This was one of those games I wanted to play back when the Xbox One launched in 2014, but I did not own an Xbox One at the time. Now, in 2026, I finally got to experience it on PC. After all these years, I am glad I finally played it. Quick...

'The floor is lava. Don't stop moving." These are the two most important things Sunset Overdrive wants you to know. And it shows in the gameplay; Jump, Wallrun, Grind/Undergrind, Hop, Bounce, Fly, Swing, Slide over water, SWIM in said water and then shoot up out of it- There is no boundary to your movement in Sunset Overdrive. Insomniac has created one of the most unique free form playgrounds with Sunset City for...
