JETT: The Far Shore is an action adventure videogame with a laidback accessible campaign that lasts about as long as a prestige TV television season, which is just enough time to soak in these new moods and get a sense of the breadth and heart of this intriguing new science fiction cosmos, from Superbrothers A/V.
