“It's an experience, a fun one. Finally getting to play it after having watched Jacksepticeye play it years ago was a crazy nostalgia trip. The humor definitely sticks and made me wanna get the 100%. Highly recommend.”
“Classic game from my childhood, I love the dreamlike environment and the unpredictability in its humour and events”
“honestly, it's just okay. the unconventional way of playing with player expectations was cool, constantly doing something unexpected and surprising was interesting - but after the 700th pun or bad story moment I just…”

“Jazzpunk is an insanely special game for me. It's legit the game that got me to buy Steam in the first place. The graphics are incredible, the characters are iconic, the action i s fun, and there are so many fun areas…”

“a very funny and charming game, i could replay this over and over and still not get bored!!! def recommend”
“Such unique graphics combined with hilarious gags! I loved how I could comb through an entire chapter and still find something new and silly on a lookback. It's a game that keeps you guessing but in such a fun way.”
“Always loved this game and wanted now that I have completed it twice, I still love it.”

“This was the funniest game I had ever played in 2014. Very curious to see if it holds up. I'm afraid it doesn't.”

“This is one of those games I highly recommend ON SALE. If you think about it like this, if you're willing to pay $20 for a 2-hour movie, maybe the idea of spending $15 for a video game ain't that bad. You need to have…”
“6/10 (Short, but worth trying out!) I actually enjoyed playing this, even though it seemingly is short in a way, but it has some odd depth to it that if you didn't try this....You'd never understand it.”
“Jazzpunk is absurdism: the video game — it's like falling asleep to one cartoon and waking up to something far stranger, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The humor is relentless and weird in the best way,…”

“my jazz is sufficiently punked could do a bit better with framerate jitter though”
“A rather strange game. Watched Pewdiepie play this years ago, tried playing it myself but didn't run well due to my rig being on an iGPU. It does not hold up. If you must play this buy it on sale for cheap, otherwise…”

“I've got a bad habit of buying too many games and never touching them, my library’s well over 1000 at this point and it's safe to say I have decision fatigue when choosing what to play. Lately I’ve been trying to actually dig through the backlog, and I finally gave Jazzpunk a…”
