I almost refunded this game. The bustling main street outside Rex's house runs no higher than 15 FPS. The rest of the game actually runs hella smooth, so it's weird. Before I installed this game, there was a recent patch modifying this area. Maybe that's causing it? You can't rebind the controls. The mechanical lockpicking. There are only two instances of them, but I wish they'd disappear. Still plenty of bugs. I had been watching this game for years and reading through the reviews to see if they were fixed. Not many reviews mention bugs anymore, so I bought the game. Nope, there are still major bugs that require some workaround to bypass. Not to mention some of them have been there for years, according to people. It was a good thing I told myself to be patient and went through to finish the game, because it turns out I love everything else. Every single thing. Visuals, sounds, mechanics, puzzles, story... Especially the sprites. Goodness gracious... I could spend hours just taking a walk and looking at things. I don't regret adding this to my ever-growing collection of pixel art games. I'm still recommending this game because it's such a good game, but only pick it up if you don't mind the problems I mentioned above. Plus, I hope the devs will fix the problems and continue to make more awesome games in the future.

Highly recommend this one. Tales of the Neon Sea is an awesome, beautiful game with an incredible, feast-for-the-eyes cyberpunk setting & story. Feels like there's some Blade Runner-esque inspiration in there as well. If detective noir games are your twist and you thought it'd be really neat if a detective noir was set in a gritty yet very vibrant cyberpunk/Blade Runner type future, look no further. Tales of the Neon Sea will take you on quite the hallucinatory odyssey as you investigate murders, disappearances, other crimes, conspiracies, etc. This game is absolutely packed with high quality detail across the board. It's a true gem and definitely a worthy addition to any library. Looks & plays great on Steam Deck.

Good world-building, cute cats, rich color palette, and beautiful music = a pleasurable experience. Some of the puzzle solving was a tad complicated but overall quite do-able. I'd say it scores a solid 7/10 or so on the trusty Adventurino-scaly'O.
