Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
110 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
The story and characters are interesting, too, if somewhat stereotypical of the genre.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
104 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
While I suppose this is the closest there is on Steam at the moment (though there's a free fan-made version of Netrunner available elsewhere), and while it definitely does sort of similar in art style and setting, the gameplay is definitely different enough to enjoy on its own merits.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, though, is excellent, with some subtle tracks mixed with heavy beats in battles; it works really well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
Neon lighting, futuristic interfaces, and detailed card artwork all reinforce the dystopian atmosphere without becoming overly cluttered.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
The core card gameplay forms the combat sequences in each of these missions and is the only real interactive gameplay, but, apart from the odd grammatical error here and there, the writing is actually pretty good.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 270 sampled reviews raised it
Cards can then be added or removed easily from your various decks using the straightforward deck editor, which also doubles as an interface to the black market.
