![]() The visuals are simplistic, but charming and match the humor perfectly. Jazzpunk is definitely a title that is best experienced by not knowing exactly what is in store for you. The game is unfortunately quite short, so spoiling any of the missions or side missions would be a crime, but if you find the trailer funny you will love the game. The gags and pop culture references probably won’t appeal to all players, but personally I had a blast. The comedy is very slapstick and the puns come at you thick and fast, but there is a lot more hits than misses. Levels are generally quite small but packed with so many visual gags and references that it’s almost impossible to experience everything during a single playthrough. You can jump as well, but there is rarely any need to do so. Viewed from a first person perspective, you guide Polyblank around the gameworld and interact with objects using a single action button. One minute you might be helping a frog to hack into the Wi-Fi of a coffee shop and the next shooting champagne corks at enemies in a Quake deathmatch style mini-game called “Wedding Quake.” It is a surreal but thoroughly enjoyable experience that had me laughing out loud all the time. As you wander around the levels and interact with the environment you never know what is going to happen next. What I love about Jazzpunk is that it is totally unpredictable. I strongly suggest that you actually ignore your mission objective for as long as possible and explore the environments otherwise you will miss out on some of the best elements that the game has to offer. You are given an overall objective for each mission that is started by swallowing Missionoyl pills by the way, but after a level starts you are left to your own devices. ![]() The creators cite comedy films such as Airplane and Naked Gun as major influences on the gameplay so if you are expecting any type of seriousness from Jazzpunk you are in for a shock. Set in an alternate reality where the Cold War is still raging, Polyblank must deal with robots, spies and some of the strangest gadgets ever seen in a game. ![]() Jazzpunk opens with your character, Agent Polyblank, receiving a mission from his superior “The Director.” The mission involves infiltrating the Russian consulate but this game is no Splinter Cell. ![]()
