It’s because of the solid gameplay mechanics that the racing missions are so much of a success. There is at least a way to skip most of it, but it’s completely hidden and if they didn’t add an achievement mentioning it, I would have never known. While I understand this concept canonically (players are freshly created clones), it is an absolutely frustrating practice. On top of all this, the player must complete the tutorial every time a new character is created. A handful of mechanics are not even remotely explained in the tutorial, leaving players with a lot of confusion and frustration when missions ask something of the player previously unexplained by the game itself. The tutorial does a decent job of introducing the movement mechanics but leaves a lot to be desired overall. This is a great quality-of-life feature to have, although it forces the player to drop what they’re holding, so it’s useless in certain situations and modes. The rewind function allows players to reverse time for up to about eight seconds and course-correct big mistakes. This is very handy during races or just standard navigation when a wrong jump or unexpected geometry gets in the way and causes a huge fall down to the bottom of the map. Luckily, a key feature of Hover is its ability to rewind and “undo” mistakes. There have been a few instances of being “in the zone,” only to jump and trick directly into a random low-hanging wall or bar that kills everything. Other times, the geography and geometry of the world just don’t work out well. The character will auto-latch to ledges, and occasionally a ledge is just out of jump height range, so the process usually becomes an attempt to jump into the wall, wall-jump, and hope that the physics works out such that the character grabs the ledge. I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve mashed jump in an attempt to get up to a ledge or over a vertical obstacle. That being said, it’s not all peaches and roses. Flipping and grinding all over the place is stylish and exhilarating, as it is often done way above the ground due to the vertical nature of the maps. When everything clicks, oh boy does it look great. It’s exciting to grind and wall-ride around the environment while taking in the visuals and looking for quicker or more exciting routes. The core movement mechanics of Hover feel great. Publisher: PLAYDIUS Ent., Plug in Digital, The Sidekicks

Hover: Revolt of Gamers (Linux, Mac, Windows ) While the controls are definitely better here, I can’t say the same for everything else. After all, JSR is quite old and the controls don’t hold up as well as I’d like, so there’s lots of room for improvement.

Jet Set Radio is my favorite game of all time, so I jumped headfirst into Hover (I am never using that full title ever again) with a giant grin on my face, excited for what awaited me.

It plays on the nostalgia heartstrings pretty hard, even getting composer Hideki Naganuma to contribute a couple of tracks.

The normal ending of the game has the Gamers succeed in contacting the Galactic Union and having The Great Admin imprisoned and removed from power.only for his clone with the exact same agenda to be voted in by the ignorant populace and endorsed by like-minded clones.I tend to avoid direct comparisons when analyzing a video game, but the fact that Hover: Revolt of Gamers proudly exclaims its relationship with Jet Set Radio, it becomes inevitable. All player characters are clones based off of DNA-kits of existing characters, Otello's side quests reveal he's a clone of a scientist named Oto, and in the normal ending of the game, The Great Admin abuses cloning technology to ensure even if he's imprisoned and loses control of Hover City, like-minded clones will ensure his anti-leisure agenda stays in place. Clones Are People, Too: One of the major themes of the game.Amazing Technicolor World: The whole world is full of vivid colors.Acrofatic: Despite having a noticeable waistline, The Great Admin is still able to use his suit and perform parkour with the rest of them.

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: The sewer level that houses The Gamer's HQ is insanely massive.
