Disc Jam (2017)

If you're looking for a decent online game to pass time, Disc Jam is a very suitable choice due to its good pricing and enjoyable nature. but if you want something further than just good, or if you're looking to spend lots of time in an online world, Disc Jam is not the game to be recommended as it fails to keep its appeal after a few hours.

Disc Jam is a really well developed competitive sporting experience that feels familiar, yet futuristic.

Disc Jam is a good attempt at combining multiple sports inspirations into a video game, and for the most part Disc Jam achieves this by delivering a solid competitive experience with simple mechanics.

Looking at the general state of things the key to whether you should invest in Disc Jam or not comes down to your tastes and whether you either have friends to play with or can put up with online play being hit or miss in terms of opponent availability. Playing against the CPU does have some variation but always feels quite different from a live adversary. Throw in the pretty blatant attempt to extract more money from people who’ve bought in and it isn’t a game without merit but it struggles to stand out as a game that’s suitable for everyone.

The game is seriously addicting thanks to the gratifying mechanics and simple, fun premise that it's built on. I can see myself jumping online almost daily to claw my way through the ranks but I do worry that the long wait times for matches will only get worse if High Horse Entertainment don't manage to pull in some more players. I wish them all the best and hope to see Disc Jam continue to be supported by them for the foreseeable future.
