Really excited for this one. I haven't played that much Jet Set Radio but I've been itching for a game like that for a while.

Played about an hour so far, first impressions are that the game is pretty great. The movement and gameplay is much more modern and dynamic compared to JSR. I love the soundtrack, but you only start with a few songs so try to unlock more quick.

Price is a little steep at 40. But I love the dev team (Lethal League is amazing if you like fighting games) so I’m happy to support them.

I have only played an hour but this does really feel like a JSR successor.

Man that thumbnail is confusing. Having no context for this game at all I have no idea what's going on there.

Yeah, it’s one of those images you can’t make head or tails of it.

The white character is easy to understand, but the blue and red character? The only thing I can understand about it is that it seems to be grabbing a spray can, so at least one of the appendages is an arm, I assume.

Edit: nvm, after 5 minutes I finally understood what I’m looking at. The blue character is sorta facing the camera and the long polygonal red thing is it’s head, with the bottom-right corner of the red thing being it’s face. Man, the weird head and being partially obscured by the title really makes it hard to understand the image.

The music is so good. Soundtrack on Steam is half the cost of the game (and probably worth it).

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Loved the first one! Cell shaded, good vibes, skate, spraypaint, listen to bomb ass music

How are people finding this? I sense the siren call of Baldur's Gate, but I think Larian might not really notice if I partake later and play this first.

If you grew up with JSFR and loved it, don't think twice. BRC is excellent.

I've been addicted to Jet set radio since futures release. Can't wait for this to come out on xbox
