Dex is a great, if short, cyberpunk beat-em-up RPG. I think I paid $2.99 and got 20-ish hours out of it for 100%. I'm slow so I tried to do everything and go everywhere. I expect a typical person would complete it in 15 hours or less. ✅Controls are easy to learn. ✅Melee combat is mostly about timing blocks and dodges, so pretty forgiving. ✅Cyberpunk setting and atmosphere are great. ✅A lot of voice acting for a small game. Character quality varies but all feel unique. 😐No way to respec your attribute points. I had 40 points by the end of the my run, but still....would be nice. 😐Typical cyberpunk story. Big corps are bad, you're the special/chosen-one, nothing new here. 😐Guns are in the game, but I never felt the need to use them. 😐There are two (pretty short; maybe 60-90 seconds) endings and it basically comes down to a binary choice at the end, so most of your actions during the game don't matter. 😐This game is really more about the story. I didn't find the combat all that difficult. I didn't mind, but some folks might be put off by ease of combat and abundance of healing items. 😐Enemies don't respawn, so once you clear an area it stays clear. ❌You keep climbing past the top of the ladder...for all ladders. Not a game breaker, but strange. ❌It's short; Not much in the way of replay value. Overall, I think I got out of Dex exactly what was on the tin and I wasn't disappointed. Big thumbs-up for cyberpunk fans.

Let me start by saying I’m a huge fan of the cyberpunk genre, so when I stumbled upon Dex, I was instantly interested. After completing 100% of the game, I can confidently say it’s a solid experience, though it isn't groundbreaking. That said, I’d still recommend it to fans of the genre looking for a fun, shorter adventure. Let’s jack in and expand a bit upon some points of the game: 1. The Gameplay Dex gives you a few ways to tackle situations, but none of them feel particularly deep. Combat boils down to three main approaches: brawling (which is mostly button mashing), ranged combat (which lacks weapon variety), and hacking (which stuns enemies or is used for interacting with the environment). While all of these are viable, they don’t evolve much over the course of the game and by the end, you’ll feel overpowered no matter which path you choose, and enemies stop being a real challenge. There’s also a stealth option, but it feels even less developed compared to the other systems. You don’t get many tools to enhance stealth beyond a single implant and after a point, it gets pointless to sneak about. I wish the game had leaned more into specialization, letting you build a character that feels cool and actually evolves as the game goes on. Instead, the skill upgrades are pretty basic and don’t significantly change how you approach the game. 2. Story The premise is classic cyberpunk: you’re up against a powerful, evil megacorporation, but this time, you’re the “chosen one” with a special role to play. While it sounds generic, the story is actually decent but it just moves too fast. There are a lot of characters the game tries to make you care about, but you don’t spend enough time with them to form a real connection. Events unfold at a rapid pace, and while there’s potential here, it feels like the story could have used more room to unfold itself. To give you an idea of how fast things move, I 100% the game, including all side quests, secrets, and achievements, in about 10 hours. You start as a nobody and end up as someone capable of taking down a megacorp, but the progression feels rushed. I think the game could have benefited from an extra 3-4 hours to flesh out character relationships and make the story’s pacing feel more natural. 3. Visuals The game nails the cyberpunk atmosphere, from the gritty slums to the sleek, high-rise skyscrapers of the rich. Each area has its own distinct personality and theme, and they’re all well-designed. The visuals do a great job of immersing you in the world. That said, the final sections of the game feel a bit rushed and uninspired compared to the rest. Some areas are reused, and it feels like the developers were running out of time or ideas. Still, overall, Dex delivers a visually appealing and atmospheric experience. TLDR: Dex is a good game for anyone looking for a short, straightforward cyberpunk adventure. It does a lot of things decently, but there’s plenty of room for improvement. If you’re a fan of the genre and don’t mind a simpler, more compact experience, it’s worth checking out.

bad ass progression in a cyber punk setting with good hand to hand combat, silent take downs, guns if you prefer more action than stealth the upgrades are something to look forward too. the story keeps you wanting to find out whats next and the actors do a great job, not a single silly dialog and i was waiting for it... overall a very enjoyable game and the only game i have gone out my way to purchase on steam, love this game :) .

A fairly short and sweet game. a little rough around the edges combat wise, especially at the beginning of the game. I barely used guns throughout the game honestly. I even 100% this game, but sadly 2 of my achievements got bugged and wouldn't register, even though I did what the game wanted... Overall, for the heavily discounted price I paid, this was a fun little game that kept me hooked to completion. If you want an easier start with this game, I highly recommend you put a point into AR as soon as possible. Hacking most bad guys will will stun them, allowing you to go right behind them and perform a takedown. This allows you trivialize most encounters in the game until you start coming up against heavier combatants; but by then, you should have a decent inventory and level-ups to compensate. After which, definitely try to get at least 1 point in Lockpicking near immediately, with maxing it out being a priority after the 1 point in charisma. Speaking of Charisma, get at least 1 point in Charisma as early as possible (it was my very first or second spent skill point spent). I also highly recommend a minimum of Hacking level 4 sooner than later. After which, you should have a good foundation for the rest of your playthrough.
