First I will begin by Dex's downsides : - combat gameplay. Bad, not godawful because it's playable but you will never take any pleasure. Melee is too easy because mobs patterns are simplistic and bland while range (guns) is clunky. - animations are inconsistent. Some of them are good but some are stiff. Not shockingly bad mind you, but animations are very important for me in a video game, more than graphics so I tend to be picky about them. - some stuttering although it was installed on an SSD, and some collision bugs here and there - rare, hopefully. Everything else was a blast. Art direction if nothing original is top notch, with great attention to details. Musics are great, sound design is good too. VA is either hit or miss but overall good. Level design is excellent, with lots of secrets. History is your typical cyberpunk trope, but no story is ever original, what's important is the story telling and Dex doesn't fail in that department. Good pace, well written characters, even the few cinematics are great. Lots and lots of quests with, most of the time, different ways to solve them, which is pretty rare nowadays to be worth mentioning. Game takes a dozen hours to beat on average and I think it is just right, not too short but never felt dragging either. I wholeheartedly recommend buying Dex if you seek more a side scroller RPG rather than an action/platformer game, the latter might disappoint you otherwise.
