Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch

7.5/10

It’s somewhat wild to me that Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is basically the arcade version of the 2020 pseudo-NES release of Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl. They feel incredibly similar in that they’re both totally fine beat-’em-ups that are good enough to stand on their own but work best with a familiarity for the characters and worlds. With a sea of brawlers out there, this isn’t one of the best ones, but it’s the only one that will offer you chocolate-covered pretzels after going to the bathroom. Snoogans.

Jay and Silent Bob Chronic Blunt Punch review: fun combat ideas undone by poor checkpoints, unclear progression, and limited co-op.

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is a fun homage to the world of Kevin Smith. Packed with jokes that capture the spirit of the stoner duo, it blends elements of the View Askewniverse into an enjoyable beat ’em up. With its surprisingly deep combat, the game keeps you engaged throughout its short runtime. Even though bugs and the conventional level design prevent it from feeling essential, fans of Smith will still find plenty to love.

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is a colorful side-scrolling 2.5D, over-the-top multiplayer tag-team brawler whose action escalates as the player travels deeper into the mall of purgatory.

Aight, so check this out. This one time, me and Lunchbox here, we says to that Smith bastard, “Hey, why don’t we have our own game?” And he says to us “You got one already, remember Mall Brawl?” And I said “That dated 8-bit sh**? That’s great for retirement home dorks, but we need something new!” So Smith tells us “We’re gonna put out one with Fig,” and then this jaggoff explains crowdfunding to me. It takes him so goddamn long that the website closes and now everyone’...

Jay and Silent Bob are back in another side-scrolling beat 'em up. Though while Chronic Blunt Punch looks absolutely fantastic and is genuinely humorous at times, its gameplay lets it down.

Kevin Smith is a screenwriting genius who has created a unique and funny cinematic universe like no other. Now he's expanding with a new game, but instead of laughter comes crying.

Unscored

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is a mediocre beat 'em up that tries its hardest to capture the spirit of Kevin Smith's filmography. In many ways, it does do that, and has elements that feel like they are right out of a View Askewniverse movie. Sadly, the combat in Chronic Blunt Punch is so bland and lifeless, and is an absolute technical nightmare. Fans of View Askewniverse will likely crack a smile at the game's absurd story, but that's where the good times come to an end.
