Sony has said in an interview that it isn’t prioritizing the series going forward, but it did release on PC eventually. Sunset Overdrive‘s Xbox One exclusivity during a very rough period for the console likely hurt its sales, despite the game’s critical praise. Before this, however, Insomniac created the excellent third-person action game Sunset Overdrive for Xbox One, blending its previous shooter experience with platforming and Tony Hawk grinding for something wholly unique. Ratchet & Clank remains popular and after Marvel’s Spider-Man, Sony even opted to purchase the studio outright.

Second Sight flew under the radar, possibly because it released so close to the similar Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, but it’s the more interesting game of the two.
