    I appreciate the short review format and lack of pop-ups on the website.

    Disappointing to hear that Bombrush Cyberfunk didn’t live up to the Jet Set Radio expectations. I used to play JSRF all the time on the OG Xbox.

      Don’t let the two-sentence review in the article fool you. It’s basically exactly like JSRF (which was also a huge game in my childhood), and then some. The music has all the same vibes, the movesets and tricks are awesome, the vibrant colorful world reminds me of Tokyo-to to a T.

      Do you and your childhood self a favor and check it out!

        Now I’m itching to play JSRF again. Next time Bombshell Cyberfunk goes on sale I’ll pick it up. Seems like it’ll be a great game to play on a steam deck.

      Play bomb rush cyberfunk. It’s not 100% like JSR or JSRF but it is the closest love letter to the two games we’ve ever seen. It is very good

      I think I’ll still have to check out Bombrush Cyberfunk – most other people seem to have liked it. And it’s not like anything else is filling that niche right now.

      Hadn’t heard of Cyber Knights Flashpoint, that one looks fun.
