Hell of a coincidence, heh. Anyway, let me know what you think of Sunset, it's one of the games on my backlog and I plan to get to it before the end of the year. I'd love to know what I'm getting into beyond the overall consensus that seems to be that the humor is hit or miss but gameplay is fine.
I haven't finished it yet but I'd say I'm more than halfway into the game, or perhaps even close to the end of it! I'd heavily recommend it really. The humor isn't always on point but I found it at least amusing most of the time, and funny at times. The gameplay is super fun. The traversal and combat are very kinetic and the weapon design and variety is something else, it really is a treat to see and experience the weapons in combat! If you're also into it you can customize the mother lovin heck out of your character's looks, without having to pay a single extra cent for what is frankly an obscene amount of cosmetic options. The soundtrack isn't bad either and it goes nicely with the fast paced gameplay.
As you progress into the game and see more of it it becomes pretty clear that this was a passion project for Insomniac. The only thing that I kind of hold against it is that the port quality, while passable, is a little disappointing. You don't get true full screen (which I imagine hurts the performance a little), there isn't a lot of graphical settings and the draw distance isn't that good and is unfortunately non tweakable. I also encountered, shall we say, a not so little number of bugs that required me to restart to the latest checkpoint in order to progress. It is pretty clear that they had no intention of porting it to pc when they were developing it, which is why I'm pretty grateful all in all that we got it on PC eventually as the fun that I'm having with it far outweighs any technical inadequacies it might suffer from. The timing also couldn't have been better as if they had waited more to do it we would've probably never gotten it on pc. At $19.99, it also is priced greatly!
How is Ryse btw? I bought it years ago but I've never even tried it yet!
Pretty sure you can get banned for it if you somehow bypass it, so if you want to buy the game so bad at least do it on a burner account.
What a bummer
Guess the high seas are ironically the most hassle free option at the moment then. I still haven't given up on figuring out a workaround for safely circumventing the region lock, but at least other, ahem, "options" exist as a last resort.
