Dex

Dex nails all the tropes of Cyberounk design, infusing its neon-lit streets with a sense of mystery and noir themes along the way. Not that I’m complaining, as that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a cyberpunk game. Dex is gorgeous to look at, has a captivating story to engage in and is downright frustrating when you need to fight your way out of danger.

When it comes to actually providing a fun experience, that’s a bit more shaky. While the exploration based framework and interconnected world comes off very well, the combat is such an unavoidable drag, and since that is such a core part of gameplay, everything is brought down with it. There’s still a lot of value to be found if you’re a cyberpunker, but otherwise, the future is bleak.

Dex lacks in some areas, but I think the overall experience was pretty enjoyable. Being able to make your own choices and have different outcomes adds a lot of replay value. (Not a game for kids)
