  Overall, 2064: Read Only Memories INTEGRAL provides an interesting and engaging story, with some genuinely emotional moments. It’s like an interactive novel – a choose-your-own adventure that gives you the options needed to save the world. The excellent voice work, retro style, and interesting characters provide an entertaining journey into this skewed version of our own world. If you’re looking for a good book to read/play, I highly recommend giving this one a go.

  If you're mainly interested in the story or setting and don't care as much about the gameplay specifics, then, by all means, check it out. With some slight adjustments Read Only Memories could have been a great game, but as it stands, it's just good. 2064: Read Only Memories Integral is available now for Nintendo Switch.

  As I’ve already said, I don’t think that this game quite has what it takes to be the next “modern-day classic” in the cyberpunk adventure realm. But I also don’t think that it’s impossibly far away from being something along the lines of that, either. 2064 is, by all accounts, a cyberpunk adventure — and a good one at that — but it’s also a game with a definite message. Because of that, I would suggest looking into the game for yourself a little more before purchasing it. And for those of you who do and decide that you like what you see, then you’ve got nothing to lose and plenty to gain by picking this game up.

  While I love interactive stories and appreciate Midboss’s vision, this was a little too light on the interactive side for me to enjoy or recommend. If you’re a fan of the genre then there’s certainly something here for you: some slick music, a cool world and some interesting characters. However, a severe lack of player involvement and straight-up gameplay means it’ll only appeal to a select few.

  2064: Read Only Memories INTEGRAL takes the classic point-and-click genre of old, strips out many of the annoyingly exacting puzzle systems, and injects a refreshingly positive and progressive outlook. A cast of memorable characters and some spot-on retro presentation should seal the deal for fans of a good story and snappy dialogue.

  Read Only Memories: Type-M translates fantastically to mobile devices, and it's an excellent example of how to create a cyberpunk-influenced adventure game that encompasses the full spectrum of the genre. It has its own road bumps, none of which are related to its mobile status, but overall it's a point-and-click adventure that you won't want to miss, as long as you can tolerate Turing.
