    With bumping tunes and Y2K inspirations, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk reminds us that, sometimes, looking back can be a way of moving forward.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a love letter that undoubtedly does more than enough to captivate Jet Set Radio veterans and those who have no idea what it is. Between the contextually stellar soundtrack, fantastic movement system, and intricate narrative, you’re bound to find yourself attached to some part of this experience that boasts its heart on its sleeve. Even though the combat scenarios can overstay their welcome, and the pacing can be a turn-off, looking past those faults provides a one-of-a-kind skating dream.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk has a few problems, but so much soul you can’t help but love it. The simple joy of movement alone is well worth writing all over New Amsterdam, but so are the music, visuals, and story. Sure, there are bumps in the road, but they won’t stop you from going All City.

    It isn't hard to recommend a game like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to fans of Jet Set Radio. But I still think that 3D platformer fans should give this game a shot, too, as the mechanics are pretty easy to get into, and there's a lot to do here that will scratch that itch. With the number of games that are bangers releasing this year, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk feels like a nice break.

    This spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio has the same stylish look and feel, though with better gameplay for the outlaw street gang.

    If you’re an old school Segahead, there are definitely a few holes in your heart in need of filling. Jet Set Radio, which hasn’t seen a new game since the Xbox, is one of the biggest. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk has appeared like a beacon of hope to fill that void, and it does so while bringing new stuff to the table. This game is like a long-lost Dreamcast game in so many different ways, and most of them are good. Clearly, the developers at Team Reptile understand the concept of love.

    This is a shame because there's a fun game here – it's just trapped in a hollow shell. Its final sin is having a miserable story hardly even worth bringing up. It's boring and bad; we can leave it at that. There's room for games that want to recapture some old glory – to remind you how cool games used to be – but to do that, you have to add something new to the conversation. Neon White is a great example of a game that did this right. Bomb Rush isn't interested in adding anything new. It just wants to have the same conversations we've been having for years. Jet Set Radio was cool. Go play that instead.

    Love it. I only ever played Jet Set Radio and not Jet Set Radio Future, so I can only compare it to the first (I saw people say BRC is closerLove it. I only ever played Jet Set Radio and not Jet Set Radio Future, so I can only compare it to the first (I saw people say BRC is closer to JSRF). In JSR I always hated how slow I was when not grinding, and BRC alleviates that. Yes, on the ground you're not fast, but you're not slow either, and you can build a good bit of speed with leaning into grinds for boosts, the jump boost and the boost pack that uses fuel. I am really enjoying the gameplay, especially after figuring out the manual button (right trigger) to help keep combos going and how to do boost tricks (hit the boost button then a trick right after). The game is a lot of fun, and is super easy to run. (I average around 475 fps at 3400x1440 with max settings and my RX 6800.

    The soundtrack is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, the visuals are awesome... Just an awesome game. I've heard some people complaining the game is too short (around 15 hours?) or too expensive for an Indie game ($40). But really, there is no reason an Indie game needs to be ultra cheap just because it's not a AAA game, especially considering how many AAA $70 games come out unfinished and busted, while BRC has no issues I've noticed or heard of. On top of that, games like Spider-Man Remastered only took me under 20 hours to beat, play all the DLC's and collect all the collectibles and Ratchet & Clank: ARA is only around 10 hours, and both of those games sell for more than BRC does. Just because they're AAA games it's okay for them to charge a lot and be short, but it's not okay for BRC to be around 15 hours while still charging less?

    Pros:
    - great soundtrack
    - great visuals
    - no performance issues or bugs I've seen
    - really fun gameplay
    - trick/combo system works well
    - character changes aren't reset when you quit and load back into the game (don't need to change characters all the time if you want a specific one)
    - Ultrawide support in menus and general gameplay

    Cons:
    - would be nice to have a dance pad in the home base (for changing characters)
    - camera can get wonky at times when moving fast around corners
    - combat is pretty 'meh', but at least it's not frustrating
    - no Ultrawide support in cutscenes    … Expand

    I am so happy this game exists even if it is literally exactly what it says on the tin and not much more than that. It is just a modern JSRI am so happy this game exists even if it is literally exactly what it says on the tin and not much more than that. It is just a modern JSR game in the style of Future but with modern improvements and an actual STORY. They didn't really do much to piss on the older formula, but if you already REALLY don't like JSR then I don't expect anything here will convert you.
    The one area where they didn't drastically improve over the originals was the graphical quality and, visual bugs aside, that's perfectly fine considering that
    1. It's clearly part of the art style and charm of the game and
    2. I've given worse looking games a 9/10 before.
    So yeah, JSR is back. Whether from its parent company or not.    … Expand

Great music, fun gameplay mechanics with some new bits added to the mix, and beautiful world/character design that callback to the classic JSRF. Storytelling.... It could be a lot better. If this dev thinks about making a sequel, I hope this becomes a major production point. Everything else was perfect!… Expand
