What players think
The recurring themes across 274 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Game is definitely worth $10 but too little is available in terms of gameplay to be incredibly good.
I kind of miss the "Wake up/Escape" prologue of the demo though, the EA package seems to be entirely different/new content, "Episode 1" is more of an impressive open-ended Deus Ex -style romp through a large complex city broken into some loading zones, you have a main objective, but it's not a simple affair to get to it, so you're just left to your own devices, walking the streets, talking to NPCs, finding information & side quests to gain access to new places which ultimately lead you to the main quest & ending EP1.
With those out of the way, other places absolutely reek of thick atmosphere in my opinion, great visuals, nailing a Cyberpunk setting, the city on a meta level feels meaningful and cohesive with slums & places more in control of gangs, corporations, a quarantine zone where I'm currently at as I decided to leave my early impressions review.
Sound design, more the lack of one, where I feel like the atmosphere & combat both would be improved tenfold with more attention to different audio feedback:
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
