Jazzpunk: Director's Cut
A whirlwind of absurd humor and surreal charm, Jazzpunk: Director’s Cut turns even its bugs into inside jokes. Nearly every review since launch has been effusive, with only a handful of dissenters stuck in loading screens.
What it's about: Jazzpunk is a comedy adventure set in an alternate reality Cold War World, plagued with corporate espionage, CyberCrime, and sentient martinis. Gameplay is inspired by spoof comedy films and cartoons of yesteryear, with a focus on weird gadgets, exotic locales, and open-world style exploration.
