    It's a rare, but fantastic thing to find a game that feels like the result of a singular artistic vision. To find one that also happens to be a genuinely comic vision is like tripping over a unicorn. Playing Jazzpunk, from developer Necrophone Games, was like tripping over a unicorn who just happened to share my particular appreciations for goofy puns, technological ephemera, and Saul Bass.

    This game made me laugh - not gently or under duress of slow realisation, but in staccato outbursts which alarmed and unsettled passers-by.

    It is probably too short, but if you take your time and explore, you will find a great adventure, full of laughter and surprises.

    What's here is undoubtedly high quality, but some may find themselves just wanting more of the game. It's a blessing and a curse.

    The replay value is low, but it’s a nice distraction while it lasts.

    Quirky humor and an abundance of outrageous antics keep things buoyant through much of the short but flawed journey. Jazzpunk is an enthusiastic attempt to answer the question of just how much weirdness you can possibly cram into a few hours of gaming. In that endeavor, at least, it's a great achievement.

    Jazzpunk is an equivalent of an avant-garde show – it doesn’t have a story or even a point to it. It’s nothing more than a collection of rejected ideas.

    With its absurd sense of humor and the parodies on classical spy films from the 70's and 80's , this game is a fun ride all the way until the end.
