![]() Now here’s where Bomb Rush Cyberfunk earns its spurs as a spiritual successor: the game is “set to the musical brainwaves of Hideki Naganuma”, composer of the Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future soundtracks. It’s all there, right? The chunky, funky visuals, the sliding and grinding, the graffiti tagging and, of course, the music. That being said… doesn’t Bomb Rush Cyberfunk look like a spiritual successor loving homage to Jet Set Radio? Beware anyone who uses it as their sole marketing gambit!) It’s often used as a simple elevator pitch for a concept, to ground it in something familiar, but can also be used to try and cling onto the coattails of what went before without any effort or legitimacy. There are always video games where you look back on them fondly and think, why hasn’t someone made another one of those yet? Sometimes you’ll get an official follow-up – like this year’s brilliant Streets of Rage 4, a sequel some 26-years coming – but more often than not, we have to make do with so-called “spiritual successors”, like Monster Boy or Two Point Hospital.
