This is one of the best games I have ever played. It has a pretty short main story, but it is one of the best 15 hours you will find on Steam! Not many people play this game anymore so don't expect to find random people to play multiplayer with, but if you do have friends, the multiplayer is very good as well. I highly recommend getting this game, it goes on sale for $5.00 every few months. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10 ---{ Author }--- ☑ https://vojtastruhar.github.io/steam-review-template Warning!

coming back to this game after a few years and post BRC, this game is clearly still great to just turn off your brain to and its very clear it not only takes inspiration from JSR but other things too, while trying to stand as its own thing. its a shame that this game seemingly just dunked on now? apparently??? i don't think hover is perfect but other JSR-likes exist and they can all very much co-exist as their own spin. the JSR drought made people innovate with the thing they like, and hover has its place. even then, gameplay-wise it really seems to be doing more of its own thing. graffiti doesn't have a system in this game compared to JSR/BRC, and its clear that it's not the focus. graffiti is quite minuscule compared to what the rest of this game does. it's really just a futuristic parkour game with a story akin to JSR/F, which is probably why people are saying its a "jsr ripoff" or whatever for having a story theme that is very much not exclusive to JSR/F at all lol. (btw, i thought the lore and world building was pretty interesting, but you need to look for it.) this game deserved so much better, though. the publishers fumbled the dlc this game was supposed to get, so badly that i believe the devs released whatever dlc they had unofficially. it honestly feels like this game was meant to have more content in the future, more maps and things like that. my only big issue with this game is that i wish there were more maps to explore and parkour and do missions around, maybe some more world building and lore bits. the story is bare bones, but it doesn't really upset me, outside of the ending. (which might have been the bad ending, i dont quite remember). i will also agree with what others say that yeah, the controls can be jank, especially in gameball. i got used to them though; gaining speed can be exhilarating. 7/10, do not expect anything on the scale and polish that BRC has, but it has a unique charm and vibe. if this game interests you in any way, i think it might be worth your time. it certainly was for me. still got my handmade watabax plushie on my shelf 👍

Still Keeping it Groovy Yeah yeah i hear it all, blah blah blah Jet Set Radio rip off, blah blah blah Cyberfunk is better. Look, Cyberfunk dropped a little less then a year ago at the time of this review and yeah its immaculate. But for almost 7 years now, Hover has been keeping the lights on and carrying the Jet Set Radio fandom on its back alone until they showed up. This game is NOT a rip off of JSR because there's no such thing, if you make a game that involves the visage of the greatest video game ever made, then by all means praise will be given, and this game deserves all the praise for keeping us fed. Hover is fun, fast paced game with the smooth vibes that I became accustomed to since playing JSRF for the original Xbox back in 2003. I been aching for a game like this for years, and in 2017 it came along and scratched that itch as well as connect me to other long time JSR fans from around the world. There are some missing pieces that would have put this game on the same grounds of JSRF such as a DJ to give you the 411 on current events in the game, it felt a bit quiet in the speaking department which kind of hurt the overall enjoyment of the story. But thats just a preference for an already solid 8/10 game. You can get this game anywhere from steam to consoles, id absolutely recommend the Switch version as its perfectly designed for on the go gaming. (BTW use a controller for this game, using mouse and keyboard can be a bit awkward)

Throughout this entire game, I could really summarize it as "Jet Set Radio ran so that this game could walk". Sometimes, a peaceful walk is what you want though. It is odd. I feel like I should absolutely adore this game. It really just is ok though. The music ranges from alright to Hideki Naganuma, which is really cool that he did songs for this indie game. Movement is... fine. It is like half of the game, but it really is just fine. I guess it never clicked with me, which is odd since Jet Set Radio clicked with me extremely fast. It is very simple to control. Trick / Grind and then movement with a jump button. There is also a scanner to find where to go next and hack things. Very simple. Movement feels like it should be better. The gameplay looks amazing, but actually playing it feels very floaty and odd. Wall slides cancel downwards momentum which feels odd. Grinding can slow you down depending on your build (huge issue that will be covered soon). Jumping feels like you're on the moon. It is really just... fine. It is nothing atrocious, but I felt I could never really do cool stuff with it. It is fun to just free style some combos, just don't try anything precise. Speaking of, combos are not earned here. They just never stop. Sliding pretty much made combos impossible to drop. That and wall runs / jumps. So the big issue. Progression. This game is semi-MMO. So they have a stat based upgrade system. I hate this system. Like a LOT. Major issues: -Most upgrades are deleted if you unequip them. This punishes experimentation -You have to start from scratch to try a new DNA kit (character) -Lower tier upgrades have zero purpose compared to higher tier ones. Higher tier are objectively the best with no reason to keep the lower tier ones or to even win them -High tier upgrades can be won extremely fast by getting a fuzzy metal at any mission -Leveling up feels slow and pointless -Varying builds completely destroy any form of cohesive level design This is a Jet Set Radio styled game. Because of that, all of the characters should be roughly the same so that levels can be designed around how they move, accelerate, jump, etc. Because of this progression system, the world cannot be designed around that. This does not destroy the game, but it greatly limited its ability to be better than it is. Combos / Tricks that you use to get through the worlds feel slapped together. There does not feel like there are many purposeful paths to take. I know that it sounds like I am absolutely dogging on this game, but I did have fun with it. Gameball matches were amazing, races felt fun, and the worlds were incomprehensibly large. There was just so much more this game could have been if they removed the progression system. Speaking of the worlds, there are 2. Haven district and Administrative District. Both of these are absolutely huge. Like, both could be their own game huge. That is probably my favorite part of this game. It is just so big. Just exploring felt really dwarfing to me. Overall, it is alright. It is nothing deep, but it is fun enough for what it is. Don't go into this expecting a thrilling run, expect a little walk. 7/10

You run around and do parkour and tag stuff and break-dance in sci-fi cities/slums/sewers. It's fun to play in short bursts, probably better for longer if you're in a group. It's compared to Jet Set Radio which it obviously takes inspiration from but it does it's own thing well enough I think to be worth a play even if you're not here for the Jet Set vibes this game has. Definitely a game to give a shot if you like open-world exploration or are lookin for something more "chill" or relaxing.
