Very good and interesting story, Bloober team once againg made it great. Sound and video design are on top in my personal tear-list (it's pretty good, trust me). Some decisions I personally do not understand but they never came back to bite in the arse or ruin the experience.

The original is worth remembering, and System Redux is the version worth choosing.

It was a really good time, the cyberpunk aesthetic was used well, a lot of tv shows, films and games use it as like a 'setting' or because they know it looks cool. This was quite well used and looked amazing! I would say get this game but go into it knowing it is a vibe, you got more of a 6-7 hour long experience. with that being said this is a very strong 7.5/10 I would recommend it to anyone who loves just a solid vibe game but if you are looking for a game with a stronger and more gripping story, play SOMA.
