20 Most Hotly Anticipated Games Still To Come In 2014

6. Sunset Overdrive (Oct 28)

Easily the most promising Xbox One exclusive IP due for release this year is Sunset Overdrive, which appears to be an irrepressibly fun shooter as you try to restore Sunset City to its former glory by ridding it of a legion of alien monsters. Sunset Overdrive looks like a bag of Skittles splattered onto the screen, and that's no bad thing: in response to the glut of fetishised military shooters gracing our consoles these days, it's enormously refreshing to see something brightly-coloured and without a single serious bone in its body. This is a game that we need to succeed. This game is all about freedom, and kicking a** however you see fit, but the goal is to fill your style meter, which will allow you to deal even more devastating damage. The game also comes with an 8-player multiplayer mode called Chaos Squad, which according to those who've played the game is essentially the single player game but...more, which surely can't be a bad thing. If there's any game that PS4 and Wii U owners should be jealous about, it's surely this one. Predicted MetaCritic Score: 89
