The Bad
Very bad map,
Game story
The Bottom Line
In terms of gameplay, it's a fairly simple frenetic action RPG seen from a bird's eye view, but with absolutely breathtaking visuals and a total Cyberpunk atmosphere. The graphic sophistication of the city often puts even Cyberpunk 2077 in your pocket.. The game is not extra long, so it is definitely worth the few bucks it costs today :) PS: Prepare your nerves for a disastrous map and a rather confusing story telling..
