An early look at the first hour or so of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
We'll have our review of the game once I'm back from my holidays, but for now I wanted to get down some quick thoughts based on a single morning of playing it. I like it, I reckon, though I also don't know exactly what to make of it. I'm still at the stage where I'm looking through Jet Set Radio to see Bomb Rush and its city of New Amsterdam.
A couple of things about this system, which I suspect I love. The first is that the clean swipes of the stick really do feel like the flourishes of an artist who truly knows what they're doing with their tools. Second is the fact that as you collect more tag designs you collect more stick-swipe recipes for them, and these are sort of superpositioned on the clock face when you start to lay down a tag.
You see this everywhere, in fact, from the maps, which don't just ape the sun-stained textures and billboard overload of the maps that inspired them, but also have their sneaky circularity, corkscrews and oxbows, flinging you out to the edges and then bringing you back in. These are intricate spaces for grinding and tricking, and I'm interested to see that Bomb Rush already brings in a few of its own ideas here. You can get off your board and walk.
Towards the end of the morning - and I take things slow, so I'm still probably about an hour in when it comes to progression - I saw something genuinely new. A sequence in which I travelled inside my own robotic head strung territory out into a sort of gauntlet to skate through, in a way that Jet Set Radio Future only got to in its finale.
It was a short sequence, but it suggested to me that a game born of its developers' desires to play another Jet Set also contained the fruits of a lot of thinking about where Jet Set should be taken next. I'm so close to the start still, but I'm having fun. And oh god, I haven't even had time here to talk about the soundtrack. I'll have to save that for the review.
