So I've been following this game for about 2 years no and finally got to play it and must say that it definitely fills that Jet Set Radio void that knowing SEGA could have potentially never been filled. It's hard to talk about this game without mentioning JSR but I feel like it does manage to separate itself from that series with it being more contemporary, having more advanced mechanics and its soundtrack has a different vibe.

I thought the soundtrack was a bit of a mixed bag, a lot of it leans towards the rap genre and I'm not a fan of rap music whatsoever but thankfully you can select music from your phone as it has a playlist feature with music tracks that you find in the world. Ironically the best tracks to me were the Hideki Naganuma ones.

I genuinely wasn't expecting the game to have such a good and engaging story and I was legit hooked to unravel the mystery of what happened to Red and the game is paced well and looks gorgeous.

The level design and gameplay are stellar and reward you for skill and exploration. It's more focused on pulling off tricks and keeping combos going rather than graffiti tagging unlike JSR with the characters having unlimited graffiti but it manages to fill a void left by a cult classic and add so much more.
Would highly recommend
