With a phenomenal Cyberpunk aesthetic and fantastic characters, Dex is close to being an incredible experience. Lackluster combat and hacking let it down, but it still has a lot to offer for fans of the grim Sci-fi setting.
Dex is a single-player, open world Science Fiction action-RPG with a dense atmosphere and a mature, emotional story, allowing you to customize your character's skills, equipment, and augmentations for real-time combat. Inspired by Blade Runner and Neuromancer, the game features a revolutionary hacking mechanic, stunning graphics, and a good soundtrack, but is weighed down by bugs and requires grinding.

Critic Reviews
Dex Review
There is an awesome world that has been built here, with so many interesting characters and areas to explore, but poorly thought out gameplay makes Dex a dull affair. Melee combat has no nuance to it, weapons control too poorly to be of any use most of the time, and hacking is repetitive and bland. There is real promise here in the world building and character development, but the terrible gameplay is too much to make up for.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
