    Not the best game of the year, but for now one of the weirdest and funniest. It's full of jokes and puns and easter eggs and mini games, we could say these make up the whole game with a loose story. But if somebody wants a a couple hours of cartoony whoopie-cushion styled comedy, this is the best.

    The good:
    The game looks really nice.
    It's also pretty original. The bad: The sound is just plain bad / annoying. Just about every sentence is a pun or a reference of some sort, most of which are not really all that funny. Sometimes it makes you smile, but generally it's quite boring. There is no real game play to speak of other than walking around clicking on everything. I    The good:

    I played the first 3 levels (stopped after the vacation level) and stopped out of tedium.    … Expand

    A good game indeed , very funny , with references of films , like James Bond, and the ninja turtles; Altough, the game is veeeeery short , i finished it with only 2 hours... and "good timing" for games is an essential aspect for me , it didn´t worth the 11 bucks.

    The rating may seem low, but it is hardly aiming to do something groundbreaking. However it is a breath of fresh air for adventure games and quite short, so if you are interested I definitely recommend it.

    A strange and pointless first person adventure/puzzler thing? I don't even know what to call it honestly. You go around in a strange world doing strange things for strange people. I give it a 5 and i really don't know what to say about it.

    I love these interactive non-games that seem to be getting more and more popular and Jazzpunk seemed like exactly the kind of stuff that I can't get enough, but unfortunately it failed to deliver. Simply put, it's a comedy game with some of the dumbest, most groan-inducing jokes I've ever encountered.

Simply put, it's a comedy game with some of the dumbest, most groan-inducing jokes I've ever encountered. Granted, every now and again you'll stumble upon a wedding cake and it turns out to be a computer that lets you play Wedding Quake, but that's a rarity. It would have been better as a shorter, cheaper game but as it stands, Jazzpunk is a joke that never really seems to get to the punchline.… Expand

    Fun, crazy, disturbing, what? and there's some sort of plot too, but you're not a spy enough to get it.

    Not a masterpiece, not actually even a good game, but I can't say I didn't enjoy playing it and the "WTF?" moments you get from this are truly unique in their own unique way.

    Jazzpunk is not a great game. Actually, I don't think Jazzpunk is even a game. It feels more like a combination of douchey references, humor and psychedelic art directing. It is, however, FUN. That's what matters about a low-budget indie game. It provides some good laughs, woah moments and a quality time overall.

    Jak wspominałem jakiś czas temu, Jazzpunk zaintrygował mnie już w momencie obejrzenia jego pierwszych zapowiedzi. Już wtedy również podejrzewałem, jak będzie wyglądał efekt końcowy. Wszechobecne w grze niuanse dość znacznie ubarwiają grę, a ich odkrywanie sprawi większości graczom wielką frajdę. Uważam jednak, że twórcy mogli nieco ubarwić nam samą rozgrywkę, że nie wspomnę o jej długości,Jak wspominałem jakiś czas temu, Jazzpunk zaintrygował mnie już w momencie obejrzenia jego pierwszych zapowiedzi. Już wtedy również podejrzewałem, jak będzie wyglądał efekt końcowy. Wszechobecne w grze niuanse dość znacznie ubarwiają grę, a ich odkrywanie sprawi większości graczom wielką frajdę. Uważam jednak, że twórcy mogli nieco ubarwić nam samą rozgrywkę, że nie wspomnę o jej długości, gdyż grę można przejść w około 2 godziny… Przymknę jednak na to oko, ponieważ jest to pozycja naprawdę warta uwagi. Zabawne, irracjonalne, dziwne i zaskakując sytuacje są tutaj obecne na porządku dziennym - i jestem przekonany, że nawet nie wyobrażacie sobie jak bardzo mogą być one „zakręcone” :-P Jeśli więc szukacie tytułu, który zapewni Wam rozrywkę i dobry humor na jeden wieczór - to Jazzpunk nada się do tego wręcz idealnie.

    Plusy:
    + klimat i wszechobecny humor
    + różnorodne, kolorowe lokacje
    + nawet niezła muzyka
    + wiele nawiązań do filmów, gier i innych elementów popkultury

    Minusy:
    – długość rozgrywki
    – praktycznie brak fabuły
    – niewykorzystany potencjał

    I bow down to writers behind Jazzpunk. I just haven’t decided yet whether I should send them flowers to the rehab or to the mental hospital. [05/2014, p.69]

    To make someone laugh while playing is no easy task, and Jazzpunk succeeds in doing just that most of the time.

    The replay value is low, but it’s a nice distraction while it lasts.
