Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk oozes with personality and is satisfying and enjoyable to play. However, the lack of variety in quests/objectives left me wanting for a bit more and leads me to feel that this game is slightly overrated (I think nostalgia is blinding people just a bit). The sometimes-stale gameplay loop is saved by puzzle-like collectible/graffiti spots, and the overall experience is pretty fun. Things like the music, amazing style, and decent story keep this game fresh and help it stand out, and overall I do recommend this game. And if you're a JSR fan, I can't fathom that you could regret playing this. Pros: - Incredible soundtrack. Maybe one or two songs were a bit grating, but genuinely 95% of the songs are absolute bangers - Near-perfect homage to JSR (though I've only played JSRF, not the original JSR). It appealed well to my nostalgia for JSRF - Fun and smooth movement. I found myself hitting combos to my next goal just for the fun of it, not that it even mattered to do so - Fairly interesting story - Achievements were fun to hunt, even if a bit tedious at times Cons: - I wished there was just a little more variety in the missions/quests/objectives. The gameplay loop gets stale after a while, and there's nearly no variety (e.g. I can only remember two, maybe three race missions, and there weren't any chase missions IIRC). Probably the saving grace for me was the puzzle-like way to figure out how to reach a collectible or graffiti spot - The heat system that increases police presence is honestly so annoying, and I think it could have been handled better. It was frustrating to have to find an outhouse and wait for the animations there to get rid of the cops. And screw those chain turrets lol, hate those
