A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've heard a lot of ytbers mentioning Jet Set Radio. Was the gameplay revolutionary too?
I would argue the gameplay falls short of revolutionary. Several parts are frustrating but 90% of the time it's a decent balance of rewardingly challenging timing & platforming vs. "press X and just watch your character do the sickest flip, yo" dumb fun.
The killer tunes, kickass visuals (one of the best early cel shaded games), lighthearted but spunky lore and just overall vibe make it a genuine classic. If you're on the fence about it opt for Jetset Radio Future, as its an entire console gen worth of polished vs. the original and imho the music is even better.
Okay the Future gonna be it then. Honestly I had always seen Jet Set appear in gameranx and rarely in my YT feed.
