CCC Says: "Out of all the genres that games have dipped their toes in over the years, none has been more difficult to translate to the medium than comedy. Developers can pull off action, drama, and horror with style and grace, but comedy is a tricky thing. Telltale and Double Fine have come close several times over, but still miss the mark in certain respects. The best you can get out of most titles is a smile on your face. Laughing out loud is hard to pull off in games, and Jazzpunk may be the first to pull off that Herculean task."
Need an easy Platinum?
I bought Jazzpunk in a sale (having not heard of it before), the platinum is so easy, you could get it in an hour or two if you wanted.
Necrophone Games' Jazzpunk, one of the best comedy games ever made (true, objective fact), is coming to PS4 next month in a special Director's Cut version.
It’s been a year and change since we released the (Critically acclaimed?) modernist Cold War cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk. We’re now pleased-as-punch to announce that we’ve been working on bringing this surreal experience to PS4! But we didn’t want to stop at doing a simple port of the game, so we’ve been grinding away on new content and modes that will be exclusive to the PS4 version.
Loved every moment of this game, replayed it i don't know how many times. Good comedy games are few and far between, sometimes it feels like a game hasn't made me laugh as hard as I did when I first played the likes of Full Throttle and other Lucas Arts adventure games when I was 10-11, but every now and then a pure gem like JazzPunk comes along, and it really does matter. If Monty Python formed today as a videogames company I think this would be very close to the kind of game they'd make.
