I generally enjoy the game. It's nice and snappy, with fun weapons, a double jump, a dash, glory kill, all the staples of a good modern styled boomer shooter. I think where the game falls apart is the "hacking" sections. It turns into a slow, sometimes irritating, puzzle game with poor shooting mechanics. I don't mind the puzzles, but I do mind the change in game feel. If the VR hacking combat took inspiration from the rest of the game, I think it could be one of my favorites of the past couple of years. I quit playing it because the hacking sections were getting so boring. If that's how they want the game, then that's how they want it, but I'll give it another shot here in a couple months, and if i start to feel like it's a chore to play I'll just end up dropping this one entirely. With that out of the way, let me gush over the visuals for a second. I really just don't understand why we don't have more pixel art cyberpunk. It is one of the most visually appealing things in existence and there is SO MUCH room in the space for it. Fingers crossed this one gets some love.
