There aren’t many video games that give themselves over wholeheartedly to comedy, however Jazzpunk did that. An oddball first-person journey recreation set in a world of company espionage inhabited by cardboard cutouts, this recreation was incapable of taking itself severely.
Our Matt gave its interactive stand-up a polite round of applause again in 2014. Since then, it’s been to the PS4 as a Director’s Cut, and is now on its manner again to us with all the additional bits – plus an enlargement named Flavour Nexus.
“We started working on Jazzpunk way back in 2007,” co-developer Luis Hernandez told Kotaku. “It’s crazy to think, a decade ago! Unity didn’t exist at the time, and there was barely an indie scene to speak of outside of a few titles (Braid, World of Goo being the two big ones).”
The Director’s Cut integrated cyberpunk segments that didn’t make it into the sport in time for its authentic launch, in addition to jokes the builders think about to be among the many greatest within the recreation. Flavour Nexus, in the meantime, provides a “lost chapter” to the unique story of sort-of-secret agent Polyblank.
“As is the nature with comedy games, I can’t reveal too much without spoiling the jokes,” stated Hernandez, “but we do have some Vehicular Combat in there as one of the gag modules.”
The new, chunkier Jazzpunk will come to Steam on June 16th.
