(CriticalIndieGamer) It’s difficult to not feel a little underwhelmed with Jazzpunk. After all its time in development Necrophone Games has somehow managed to deliver a game that is as much other people’s as it is their own. Don’t get us wrong, this is a fun game, but we can’t help feeling like we have seen it all before. Boiling the game down to its constituent parts reveals very little originality, a handful of side quests and minigames, and a very linear path to its finale. The short length of the game is, perhaps, its saving grace; sitting through 8 hours of “There’s that joke from that film that came out in 1980″ is not a task we would want to partake in. So, should you buy Jazzpunk? If you have a high tolerance for repetitive humour, and don’t mind the odd bug here and there, you will find a lot to like – so long as you understand where the references come from. On the other hand, if you don’t understand the humour, you will find Jazzpunk to be a vapid experience with little to keep you engaged.
Need an easy Platinum?
I bought Jazzpunk in a sale (having not heard of it before), the platinum is so easy, you could get it in an hour or two if you wanted.
Necrophone Games' Jazzpunk, one of the best comedy games ever made (true, objective fact), is coming to PS4 next month in a special Director's Cut version.
It’s been a year and change since we released the (Critically acclaimed?) modernist Cold War cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk. We’re now pleased-as-punch to announce that we’ve been working on bringing this surreal experience to PS4! But we didn’t want to stop at doing a simple port of the game, so we’ve been grinding away on new content and modes that will be exclusive to the PS4 version.
played the first mission and the sidequest, had a buttload of silly fun last night.
It may not be for everyone but i really dig the ridiculousness.
Awesome review!
