I was lucky enough to enjoy the game from launch with minimal issues. Some strange bugs aside, many of whom numerous, nothing really impacted my experience. I did however, play too often that I needed a bit of a break for a few weeks. At the end of it all, I was satisfied with the experience but "wanted more". Since the next gen patch though, the game has been really hard to put down and there's a very solid baseline for more. The improvements to the games core and even small additions like sleeping/showering for a stat boost (therefore giving me a reason to go back home) really heIped me appreciate the city more, instead of just jumping from gig to gig. I'd love to see the bars and restaurants fleshed out in such a way. I was thinking of giving it a 4/5 because the game in my opinion mostly needs more customization and ways to enjoy the city, but the truth is, few games keep my attention as good as this one has. I truly hope there's more to come and a great expansion. Leaving me wanting more, that I may not get is a tease, but I'm having a good time wondering about it. Also, while I'm a sucker for the theme and aesthetic, I'm amazed how good the gameplay is for the various 'styles' I've tried. The weapons themselves also are gorgeously designed. Gunfights, stealth, and melee all feel REALLY good for this sort of game.
My first GOG review since I'm so happy to see this game again. I was randomly thinking about it just the other day and thought it wasn't for sale anywhere. Sure enough, it was added here a while back and didn't know about it. I first played a demo on my dad's work computer back in the mid 90s and we later got the full version but I lost the disc. I can safely say that this is just as great as I remember it. Sometimes DOS re-releases can be a bit rough around the edges but this works just right. I must confess, I tend to just replay my favorite tables over and over again (Super Android, Cyborgirl, Enigma and Crash and Burn mostly) but I can spend a long time playing them over and over again because I'm nowhere near making great progress on them. If anything, the music is as awesome as I recall.
