Great gameplay, meh story, amazing soundtrack and visuals. All in all I think its great when you have 6 hours to spare and like this sort of caotic, fun and fast gameplay.

Potential counts for nothing until its realised.

Gameplay is fairly enjoyable, a simple but fun take on the twin-stick shooter but the cliché cyberpunk motif is tiresome. I wish someone would do something interesting with cyberpunk other than recycle bad stereotypes and imagery that relies pretty exclusively on the racial anxiety historically manifested through the genre.

Love the style, but that's all the game seemed to have going. The combat didn't really click for me and the tutorial took way too long to get to the more interesting parts.

Indie Cyberpunk 2077.

I enjoyed every damn second of this game.

WoW.

Difficulty is very balanced. Normal is enough to enjoy the game itself, and hard is enough to get crazy.

Guns, fights, blood, music....art style. Awesome.

But...weak storytelling and rushed ending.

Could have been 5 but you know. It has cons.

Loved it!

I'm noticing some more blasé reviews here, which they are entitled to have, but I'm not seeing it yet. Either I'll continue liking this more as I play or, like them, I'll grow out of that …

More to come.

Shoot and shoot again. + points for atmosphere of pure cyberpunk, - points for somewhat stupid difficulty. Seriously, last two boss fights were a breeze, but to get there you have to do some REALLY hard shit. Like super fast, teleporting, explosive, hidden damage boss, that you have to kill three times. Ugh. All in all cool game, fairly short, …
