  • story
    73 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally well-received, with many praising its cyberpunk themes, character development, and immersive lore, though some find it repetitive and lacking in variety. While the narrative is engaging and features meaningful choices, it can feel overwhelming or confusing at times, leading to a loss of interest for some players. Overall, the storytelling is considered a strong aspect of the game, but it may not fully satisfy those seeking a more dynamic or varied experience.

    • “If you're a fan of the cyberpunk genre, top-down stealth/action games, or just great storytelling in general, do yourself a favor and play this game.”
    • “Disjunction's story will perhaps not blow any minds, but it's well written and feels just right for the cyberpunk genre with its noir atmosphere and themes of corporations taking power away from the people.”
    • “The story was intriguing, with some great NYC references, and fun/witty dialogue options that had a lot more impact on the development of the story than I anticipated.”
    • “Honestly, the biggest strike I have against the game is the story.”
    • “At some point, I couldn't keep up with the story and lost interest.”
    • “None of the characters are developed or interesting; the plot is confusing and boring - poor world building doesn’t get us invested.”
  • gameplay
    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of stealth mechanics and character abilities, offering a satisfying experience for players who enjoy trial-and-error learning and customization. However, many reviews highlight a lack of variety and repetitive level design, which can lead to a sense of monotony over time. While the game features solid mechanics and a compelling narrative, some players find the difficulty and limited gameplay options detract from the overall experience.

    • “A neat little game with good stealth gameplay that feels different between the three playable characters, good level design, and (a bit unexpectedly) a good OST.”
    • “The gameplay itself was generally satisfying, with satisfying thwoks from sneaky melee strikes and the visual information necessary to help you maintain stealth if you so desire.”
    • “Disjunction implements lethal vs non-lethal approaches to gameplay seen in other stealth-action titles, and executes this paradigm in as brilliant a fashion as any AAA title could muster.”
    • “The gameplay is very boring and simple.”
    • “I didn't really like the gameplay and the level design; pretty basic and not very challenging.”
    • “Stealth gameplay is limited and quickly grows repetitive; level design is boring and repeats itself too often; cheap enemies and poor checkpoints make for a tedious amount of difficulty.”
