Been wanting to check this one out for quite some time as I love games with cyberpunk/science fiction themes, I got this during a sale for 4,99€.


And all in all Dex was a pretty fun game! It's a nice little 2D rpg set in a classic cyberpunk vision of the future.
Exploration of the open world is one focus of the game and one it does well with gorgeous, atmospheric backgrounds and lots of secrets and quests to be found.
The compellingly-written world, quests and story missions usually can be approached in a variety of ways. I played as charming hacker, evading fights when possible until I got strong enough to confidently break a lot of bones with my electrical fists.

I started playing Dex with keyboard & mouse but switched to 360 controller soon after. I still found the controls to be a little bit iffy at one or two points but nothing game-breaking or overly frustrating. The option to manually save everywhere can alleviate that wee bit of frustration easily, though.
The voice-acting was mostly excellent and fitting but there were a few instances where it felt more 'miss' than 'hit' to me.

Small concerns, though, since overall I found Dex pretty great, a nice - probably overlooked - gem with a well-crafted world. I can wholeheartedly recommend it, especially when you're in the need to scratch that cyberpunk itch.

Would I recommend it for full price (19,99€)? Not necessarily. Depends on how badly you need a fine, little sci fi experience. For 5€ to 15€ I'd say 'go for it'.

Also, remember to download the free bonus content before playing. It adds another ongoing sidequest to the game that seems interesting (I noticed it too late unfortunately).
