Of course, YMMV, so if the "humor" that wishes that it had an ounce of Borderlands' charm doesn't bother you, I'm sure it might be mindless fun.

I didn't find the humor in Sunset Overdriver particularly good, but I definitely didn't find it as appalling as you did. It was pretty "meh" but it didn't drive me away, and even made me kinda half-smile once or twice. It's definitely no Borderlands, you're right, but I've also seen plenty of people criticize Borderlands for its childish, meme-ridden humor, too. It's all down to taste, in that respect.

That said, I thought the gameplay was actually quite good, in a sort of throwback way. It's very arcadey, sort of old-school 3D platforming, Ratchet and Clank-ish mindless fun. I only played for about three hours because Dark Souls and Enter the Gungeon rule my gaming time right now, but I'll probably play it some more when I find the time.

It's a good free Game with Gold--it's not something I'd have been particularly happy paying $60 for.
