I've had my eye on this game for a while and finally got it the other day on sale. While I normally don't like violent games or strong language in a game, Dex does check all the other cyberpunk boxes I enjoy. This game has really great 2d hand-drawn style graphics. The backgrounds are simply gorgeous. The controls were kind of tricky for me (using mouse and keyboard in a platform run-and-gun/melee game) but you can easily remap the controls to find something you like better. I haven't played super long into the game, but it's been engrossing. Voice acting is generally good. The music is absolutely awesome synth/cyberpunk type music. I love that. The world and story seem pretty standard cyberpunk stuff so far, and yet that doesn't take away from the experience for me. And I find the choice of making the game a side-scrolling rpg an interesting one, and quite like it. If you're a fan of any cyberpunk games or Shadowrun then you should check this out.
I had a good time playing this the first time. I did die once and then reloaded an earlier save and actually it to the one of the endings. I was on the fence for this one for a while but watched "let's play" video on Youtube and had to buy it since it was on sale. It is both cute and yet complex. Decided what skills to learn has a huge impact on how the story turns out. The main goal is to simply survive until your 15th birthday when you are officially made queen. A big part of the game is all the tons of ways you can die, so don't be bummed if you die a lot. It's part of the game. Fortunately the game his a ton of save slots and you can save almost anytime so it's a good idea to save often and many different save slots so you can more easily try different things. Also you can use the mouse wheel to roll-back the text and even the choices so you can easily try one thing and if you don't like it, roll back the game and try a different choice. If you like visual novel sim/time-management type games you might like this. I'll definitely be playing this over and over.
