The game offers a fun and fast-paced experience reminiscent of classic arcade games like Paperboy, with a unique cyberpunk twist.
The art style, including the use of AI-generated visuals, adds a distinct and engaging aesthetic that enhances the overall atmosphere.
It provides a thought-provoking narrative that critiques modern society while maintaining a sense of dark humor and nihilism.

Some players find the AI-generated art to be uncanny and detracting from the overall experience.
The between-mission highway sections disrupt the flow of gameplay and can lead to frustration.
