Jazzpunk is a dubiously entertaining mishmash of a game.
Chances are, you've heard of this from a youtuber(s) playing it and are thinking of picking it up to try it out. No doubt, the game is pretty odd experience, and from what you've seen it seems like one you cant miss out on. Jazzpunk sports a very cartoon like presentation, which is welcoming with its plot (which is a satire on classic spy movies like james bond). That said, the plot doesn't even really matter, as the main point of the game was to showcase many ludicrous out of place jokes through minigames and tasks you complete. Most of these minigames aren't particularly fun and serve either as punchlines or bizzare humor on their own.(wedding quake was a blast though) The 3 levels you play in have some explorable areas and characters that you can interact with, but they have very limited responses and are pretty much just one time gags. Controls feel a bit floaty, but I honestly cant complain about that in a game with a length like this one, which leads to another large flaw: Playing and completing the actual game can be as short as 15 MINUTES. Jazzpunk has a shockingly minuscule amount of content for its price, and I felt myself regretting my purchase as the credits rolled in. If a youtube video inspired you to get this game, chances are that video has shown most of what you've already wanted to see in the game. Unless you want to watch the same scripted jokes played out again, its not worth your time or your money.


Pros
-Gives the player freedom in the environment (no forced actions unless to progress the level)
-Is actually quite immersive in a surreal sort of way and lots of things to interact with
-Lots of jokes
-Lots of references

Cons
-Extremely short
-Exploration is essentially just finding more jokes
-The game can potentially be very unfunny if it's humor isnt your type
-The "Game" for the most part is not very entertaining as a game
-no real reason to replay at all

Conclusion:
Unless you want a very short interactive game that may or may not be funny to you, I would not reccomend buying this except if it is on sale for more than 50% of its price. Otherwise, there are plenty more options with a better content to cost ratio than jazzpunk.
