This game is not what you think it is.
Attracted by the setting I bought this game the day System Redux version was out. I mean what’s not to like? You’re playing as a cyborg cop in a cyberpunk setting solving crimes and watching the neon lit city at night switching between different black market implants and meddling in the plans of big evil corporations! Sign me up this instant! But reality turned out to be completely different. You see, this game is actually an attempt at some psychedelic horror. Yes, you’ve heard right – you will have not much in the way of hacking and crime solving but rather “suddenly chairs are on the ceiling, pottery is talking, some tentacles are covering the walls and monsters from ‘Soma/Amnesia the dark descend’ are chasing you” situations. The devs like this psycho stuff so much they use it to convey most of the story. For instance, there is a point in the game when you must “interrogate” a dead victim of a crime. The poor sod has an implant that records everything that goes on around him, so the gory details of his untimely death are no doubt stored there. Luckily our cyber-cop is perfectly equipped for a situation like this – he has a special probe that can connect to the implant. But if you (like me) expect that probing to show you the last minutes of the victim’s life or provide some valuable information in a sane and sensible way you are wrong. What you get instead is a bunch of strange blinking shapes, some black mannequins moving erratically, and other psychedelic BS, that shows you in a very abstract way what happened – dressing it with tons and tons of visual mess. That visual mess is an ever-present feature of this game. You will be constantly annoyed by it because it is used on every turn and step. The epilepsy warning was put on this game for a reason! So… If you are into games like Soma, Amnesia etc it will probably be ok for you. But if you expect a no-nonsense game in a cyberpunk setting, with hacking etc – I wouldn't recommend this one.
