I unintentionally read some of the reviews of this game before I sat down to write my review, and I think I can say that I'm glad that I bought this game when I did, since I was able to experience endings of the game which at least made sense and seemed to be nice conclusions to the game. I'll leave it at that so as not to spoil some of the specifics to the story or game. I loved the game for its: 1) cyberpunk aesthetic (with some places looking like they came right out of Cyberpunk 2077!); 2) 2.5D graphics and cinematic scenes; 3) variety of interesting characters (even if some of the characters appear to have a decent amount of background, yet very little character arc or established presence in the story); and 4) very interesting premise that seems like it is some weird combination of EXAPUNKS, Half-Life, and SCP. I only had one small problem that affected my enjoyment of the game--too many subplots. Oddly enough, I have noticed this to be a trend among the games I have played that have been developed in part or full by Chinese companies; while the development of the main A plot appears to be complete, there are several other plots or subplots (B, C, D, ...) which seem to be very significant and important to the central A plot that can feel hastily cobbled together at best and serving only to confuse the story points of the central plot at worst. Having said that, though, this game had an interesting story, fun gameplay, wonderful cast of main characters, and had a nice difficulty curve that I expect would suit newcomers to the platforming game genre quite well without subjecting them to any frustratingly difficult fights or puzzles. It can be finished in about ~15-20 hours of gameplay (even if trying to 100% the game) and I highly recommend choosing a higher difficulty (if hell mode is available at start without requiring finishing the game at normal difficulty?) for veteran platforming game players.

If you're a fan of the cyberpunk subgenre, you'll definitely like this game. Plus, It has incredible aesthetics and gameplay. Great music as well as voice acting. It's very difficult to find something to complain about in this game.

I can't understand any complaint in the reviews, the combat is fun, the world is interesting, there is crafting, weapon and suit ablility upgrades, the story is interesting, there is platforming, fighting game mechanics, npc dialog, note pickups, interesting characters, detective stuff, the graphics are really cool, lots of areas and populated cities to explore, side missions the list goes on and on. I would describe this game as a pixel art Stellar Blade. I wanted to try it out for a few minutes and 4 hours later I was in some underground sewer system talking to some Robotic Troll type beings and my Controller died. Love it.

I don't know how to describe this game, how ever if i had to use a word it would be Master Piece. The story is really rich. At first i though that the story was over complicated and poorly delivered, but as I proceeded and advanced the pieces started coming together, it downed on me that it is not the kind of story to be spoon fed to you, you do have to look out, explore and interact with the entire universe to get all the clues, find and read all the text and terminals and think how every thing is related to one another, finding the links with each piece of information you encounter. The game requires extensive and meticulous exploration, thus I understand the bad reviews are of those who instead of discovering and interacting with the environment, simply breeze through it paying no attention to details, witch is why the bad reviewers complain about the story, they did not bother to read and collect information. How ever i do acknowlegde that you do have to spam the scanning function to not miss anything, I kind of felt that i had developed HDHD and schitzophrenia looking for every clue. The ambiance of every stage, room, and each location go perfectly with the BGM, game is graphicaly stunning with this mix of low polygon 3d with 2d pixel art. I felt really immersed with the game, always wanting to keep playing and exploring, to the point I became really mad each time i had to drop it to go do something. The combat is not dificult at all, so long as you keep upgrading your equipment and skill you breeze through every fight, consuming corn syrup makes you a sponge rarely loosing any fight, that being said, it was still engaging and fun combined with the platforming and stage exploration in a metroidvania style. It need to be reminded however that this game is more about story telling and exploring the universe than a combat oriented game, so the game not being needlesly hard is a plus in my opinion. Over all i loved playing this game, i got it at a discount and after finishing the game I felt I somehow robbed the developers blind, also is hard to justify how triple AAA game developers charge so much for games that have subpar stories compared to this hidden gem of an indie game. I wish there was a sequel or another game base on this universe, maybe through the perspective of the other test subjects or something like that. Summarizing, game is a work of art and dedication, you can tell the developers loved making the game, absolute masterpiece, a must play game. (ALSO DESPITE EXPLORING EVERYTHING LIKE A POSSESED DEMON SOMEHOW I'M STILL MISSING SOME OF THOSE CAT TOTEMS, HOOOOOOOW???)

I'd divide the game into two parts: The first part is kind of slice-of-life game set in this beautiful Cyberpunk world. You got 3 cities and some more rural areas and dungeons to explore. Of course being a small budget indie game you're not getting full open-world cities, but the game does a good job at making the cities feel big and lived-in. They all have their own character and visual style. There's also lots of side quests to do: bartending, solving criminal investigations, finding out the identity of a famous pop singer etc. that really brings the game alive. The main quest is more of a background thing. There are some combat and platforming sections, but most of the game is spent in the 2,5D semi-open world. I'd give the first part of the game a straight 10/10 , honestly. I absolutely loved it. The game is just oozing with style and atmosphere and I really liked the characters and Ann's family and her cozy apartment and everything. The main story is completely unknown to player at this point but it doesn't matter because everything else makes up for it. Then there's the second part. It's hard to say where I'd draw the line between the first and second part, but at the very least when the final dungeon begins. The slice-of-life stuff takes a backseat and it's time to focus on the main story. Except that you still don't know what's going on. And this is where the game falls a bit flat and leaves people disappointed. The game absolutely refuses to explain anything until maybe the last hour of the game. And the story and idea behind the game is actually really good! It's a shame by the time they finally explain everything I found myself thinking "that's really cool, shame I kinda stopped caring several hours ago". And now, don't let the term "final dungeon" fool you. It might sound like the first part of the game takes like 90% of the game's duration and then you got a bit less-than-stellar ending but no, the final dungeon takes probably 1/3 of your total playtime. It goes on for an absolute eternity. It just never ends. There's a million boss fights and endless amount of corridors and platform sequences and puzzles. Now, I personally enjoyed the fights; they were challenging but I beat every boss on first try. But if you're one of those who aren't feeling the combat of the game this will be pure torture for you. And since the game just refuses to give even tiniest breadcrumb for you to care about the story, you're just forcing yourself to go through hours of combat hoping that the end really makes it worth it. I'd give the second part 7/10 at best , only because I enjoyed the combat. Maybe even 6, just because how disappointed the game leaves you feeling if you start thinking about how good the game could've been with better pacing. So, the overall rating would be like 8-8,5/10 , which isn't too bad. It's just a shame that the game leaves you with a bit bad taste, especially considering how much I loved the first part of the game. I obviously don't regret playing it and recommend giving it a try, at least when it's discounted. Pretty easy game to 100% too, just make sure to save your game before entering the final chapter (the game warns you about it and there's a save point right next to the entrance). The game comes with some DLC, but honestly, it's not that interesting. Some sort of isometric minigame. A bit disappointing, I would've preferred some DLC that gives you fighting and platforming levels in the cities or something.
