The verdict
A stylish, fast open-world parkour game with fun movement, great music and a friendly community. Skip it if you want Jet Set Radio or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk polish, clear navigation, or varied missions.
Great for
Fans of Jet Set Radio-style movement, free-roaming parkour and funky soundtracks, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Movement feels clunky or floaty and missions are repetitive, so it falls short of the Jet Set Radio feel it advertises.
