Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a 2023 action-adventure platform video game developed and published by Team Reptile. The player controls a member of a youth gang, the Bomb Rush Crew, as they use inline skates, skateboards, and bicycles to traverse the fictional city of New Amsterdam, spraying graffiti, challenging rival gangs, and evading authorities to control all five boroughs of the city. The game was released digitally for Nintendo Switch and Windows on 18 August 2023. It was then released digitally for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 1 September 2023. It was also released physically for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One/Series X on 5 December 2023. The cel-shaded art style, music, general gameplay, and aesthetic all draw heavy inspiration from the 2000s video games Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future, published by SEGA for their Dreamcast and Microsoft's Xbox consoles, respectively. The music for the game is composed by various indie artists, as well as notably including several tracks from Hideki Naganuma, the composer for the Jet Set Radio series. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, visual style, and soundtrack. However, they were divided on its similarity to Jet Set Radio, with some appreciating its faithfulness to its inspirations, while others considered it unoriginal. The games also received criticism for its combat and simple tricking mechanics from some reviewers.
