A platformer that feels like an RPG
Dex isn't an especially original game. The story is pretty much a default cyberpunk plot, with the Evil Corporation (TM) vs. the good hackers. And the gameplay isn't especially amazing - it's nice but it's basically a 2D platformer style with some Metroidvania elements and a mediocre combat system (the melee fights are especially tedious, since there's very little variety to them). However, what really made this game work for me was how much it felt like an RPG of old. The world is full of secondary characters ready to drop side quests that are rich and complex; exploration pays off and returns a lot of perks and EXP - which then of course results in you being able to level up, increasing both your abilities and stats in many directions, transforming you into a powerhouse by the end of the game. The hacking sequences work like a twin-stick shooter - they're not the top of creativity but they can be fun. As a general rule the game becomes much better as you expand your toolset of moves and tricks, because at that point you really have multiple strategies to approach the same problems. You can be clever, sneaky, use your hacking abilities, go in guns blazing or simply pummel everyone to death with your bare (if possibly cyber-augmented) fists. This all works quite well, making the game a fun romp. Maybe you'll appreciate it more if you like the genre - and by this I mean western RPGs even more than action/platformers/metroidvania - but on sale it's probably a worthy buy for anyone.
