What truly has me stoked about Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is how it seemingly combines two of my favorite sports games, Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, to create something that looks visually exhilarating. You can string together tricks in succession to increase your point multiplayer like THPS and hit gravity-defying corkscrews similar to MHPB.

Of course, you can’t forget the clear Jet Set Radio influences, either. From the vibrant colors reminiscent of graffiti art to the inline skating to the character designs, BRC looks like everything a JSR fan could want—and then some! Had the game been called Jet Set Radio 2 instead, I wouldn’t question it one bit.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk doesn’t have a release date yet, but game director Dion Koster said in a recent blog post that Team Reptile is “going in hard to finish the game.” When it’s complete, it’ll hit Nintendo Switch and PC, with a console launch to “follow up a little later.”
