Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about Sunset Overdrive and MindsEye. Video games have come so far. Sometimes for the worse.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
Sunset Overdrive
Sunset Overdrive is a 2014 action-adventure game from Insomniac, exclusive to the Xbox console. An energy drink maker’s latest product turns everyone who drinks it into a horrifying monster, and you, the Player, must do your best to survive while stuck in the middle of the outbreak. The game has a heavy emphasis on movement and traversal, meaning that you’ll have to be always zooming even while you’re fighting.
MindsEye
MindsEye is definitely a game that came out this year in 2025, developed by Build a Rocket Boy studio. The game tells a story, and it also lets players interact with it. Many of those interactions will lead to inexplicable mission failures, but that’s still interaction. It is a game more notable for what it represents than for what it actually is.
