Captain America: Brave New Worldhad the potential to do something spectacular with Sam Wilson’sMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)story, but instead it dropped the ball. It’s no surprise that the Multiverse Saga has struggled to maintain the momentum that existed in the MCU beforeAvengers: Endgame. Despite expanding into TV shows, introducing a variety of new heroes, and diving into the multiverse, it marked the end of an era.

It can be hard to say what precisely makes a game work, especially when dealing with a cult classic. This applies especially when dealing withJet Set Radio Future​​​​​​, a game that is far more than the sum of its parts.
