Neat cyberpunk indie, but avoid gunplay
I played the PS4 version, which was largely bug free. The presentation is great. You'll never mistake it for AAA but the world building was done fairly well, from the neon bright colours to the synth music. The game world is a hub, and you're mostly free to roam each area without too many restrictions. Each has a distinct flavour, although they manage to retain the theme's essence. One thing that annoyed me about the decent soundtrack though is that the OST on sale is lacking several tracks, which are apparently permanently backer-exclusive. Needless to say this just dissuades fence sitters from buying it, or annoys them sufficiently to look up how to extract the music from the game files. Very questionable decision to sell a gimped OST. Should've given backers something else instead of chopping up the OST. Worse, this is a mark against the publisher and people will look for similar shenanigans in any future title. The writing is ok, not great but solid. The characters serve well enough but overall feel like they could've used more development. For an RPG there is surprisingly not that much lore. Game is fairly short if you rush. My main gripes are with the gameplay. The platforming is not tight enough, you will know by testing repeated jumps between platforms and see how some inexplicably miss. And forget firearms - aiming felt awkward but the worst sin is you have to buy ammo. Sure, by the end you realize you don't need that much, but throughout the game I felt scared of using up any of that precious expensive ammo. Turns out you don't even need to be great at combat - I unlocked virtually everything else and simply spammed carefully timed punches during the entire game. Not much of a skill tree either, you end up getting everything unless you maxed out combat-related skills. Don't get me wrong, this is a good game. I focus on the negatives because they detract from the game. I'm down for a sequel - provided they don't butcher the OST again.
