bad ass progression in a cyber punk setting with good hand to hand combat, silent take downs, guns if you prefer more action than stealth the upgrades are something to look forward too. the story keeps you wanting to find out whats next and the actors do a great job, not a single silly dialog and i was waiting for it... overall a very enjoyable game and the only game i have gone out my way to purchase on steam, love this game :) .

A fairly short and sweet game. a little rough around the edges combat wise, especially at the beginning of the game. I barely used guns throughout the game honestly. I even 100% this game, but sadly 2 of my achievements got bugged and wouldn't register, even though I did what the game wanted... Overall, for the heavily discounted price I paid, this was a fun little game that kept me hooked to completion. If you want an easier start with this game, I highly recommend you put a point into AR as soon as possible. Hacking most bad guys will will stun them, allowing you to go right behind them and perform a takedown. This allows you trivialize most encounters in the game until you start coming up against heavier combatants; but by then, you should have a decent inventory and level-ups to compensate. After which, definitely try to get at least 1 point in Lockpicking near immediately, with maxing it out being a priority after the 1 point in charisma. Speaking of Charisma, get at least 1 point in Charisma as early as possible (it was my very first or second spent skill point spent). I also highly recommend a minimum of Hacking level 4 sooner than later. After which, you should have a good foundation for the rest of your playthrough.

Dex is a flawed yet entertaining title that fails to be anything more than mediocre. I was intrigued to explore the world of Dex at first, but as I got more familiar with the game, its imperfections became more and more obvious. Dex ’s story is interesting despite the usual cyberpunk clichés regarding megacorporations and artificial intelligence, but is marred by bad writing and not-so-good voice acting. Likewise the world is gorgeous to look at with lovingly crafted environments, but the whole city is essentially one long corridor that becomes a chore to navigate later on. Controls are also clunky and combat sequences are essentially an exercise of button mashing. Dex tries to change things up by introducing a hacking minigame which is fun for a while, but becomes repetitive too quickly. Overall, for everything the game does right, it leaves a lot more to be desired. I wish the game had more polished mechanics to keep things interesting for longer. Despite all this, Dex can be a decent way to spend a weekend and some fun can be had here if you enjoy cyberpunk settings.

Nice little Cyberpunk game. Side quests and voice actings are surprisingly good. Cyberpunk atmosphere is really good, you can definitely feel it. But some of the game mechanics are not good at all. I won't say terrible but not good. Overall I liked the game. Especially if you have Steam Deck, you should consider playing it in your free time.

Just a good old side-scrolling, plantform-jumping, badguy-killing, sci-fi RPG with an excellent score and decent story. Worth the purchase.
