Highly recommend this one. Tales of the Neon Sea is an awesome, beautiful game with an incredible, feast-for-the-eyes cyberpunk setting & story. Feels like there's some Blade Runner-esque inspiration in there as well. If detective noir games are your twist and you thought it'd be really neat if a detective noir was set in a gritty yet very vibrant cyberpunk/Blade Runner type future, look no further. Tales of the Neon Sea will take you on quite the hallucinatory odyssey as you investigate murders, disappearances, other crimes, conspiracies, etc. This game is absolutely packed with high quality detail across the board. It's a true gem and definitely a worthy addition to any library. Looks & plays great on Steam Deck.

Good world-building, cute cats, rich color palette, and beautiful music = a pleasurable experience. Some of the puzzle solving was a tad complicated but overall quite do-able. I'd say it scores a solid 7/10 or so on the trusty Adventurino-scaly'O.

I saw such mixed reviews about this game and I have to say I am so glad I bought the game and did not listen to any nay sayers. This game is charming, grotesque, macabre and fun. I found no challenge too hard or too easy. The story kept me engaged and I think they left it on a proper cliff hanger that leaves me hopeful for a sequel. I think my biggest compliments to games is re-playability and this hidden gem of an indie game deserves a second or third play through. If you are on the fence and you like detective games, cats, serial killers and pixel cyberpunk vibes- get this game. p.s. I did not find the ending abrupt, I thought the story told for this game came to a lovely conclusion wrapped in a bow.
