Neon Struct isn’t a perfect game, and technically its main gameplay focus of stealth is fairly simplistic. Enemies aren’t that smart, darkness is overpowered and once you’ve learned its rhythms it’s very easy to remain undiscovered, or at least not get caught if you’re seen. It makes up for this by being excellent in many other ways, most notably in the level design and world building.

Critic reviews
- 6.0Neon Struct has the right spirit behind it. It tries to be a rebellious, anti-government tale of capitalism and intelligence communities getting into bed with each other to the detriment of all.... The story here acts as little more than the cellophane frames old-schoolers had to paste over their TVs to create a new background for the tiny lights that darted across the screen. Both do their jobs sufficiently, but we no longer have to simply dream of more.
- 7.5Neon Struct’s biggest weakness is its sound design. Missions are achingly, almost distractingly quiet, except for the sound of the guards’ footsteps. There are so many at times, it can be difficult to gauge their position relative to you. In areas with lots of guards, the cacophony of their combined clattering footsteps just sounds ridiculous. But other than that, I didn’t find much to dislike about it.
