  • story65 mentions

    The story in the game is generally well-written and mature, set against a cyberpunk backdrop that evokes themes of corporate power and societal decay. While some players appreciate the depth and lore, others find it repetitive and lacking in variety, with a narrative that can feel shallow or overly reliant on exposition. Overall, the intertwining storylines of three characters add some intrigue, but many reviewers express a desire for a more engaging and varied gameplay experience to complement the narrative.

    • “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.”
    • “The story and setting are incredibly made and pair amazingly with the awesome art.”
    • “Honestly, the biggest strike I have against the game is the story.”
    • “The story just kind of throws you in and has a lot of names and locations that don't really mean anything, but I don't really think the story is the main focus of the game.”
    • “At some point I couldn't keep up with the story and lost interest.”
  • gameplay50 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the solid stealth mechanics and character variety, while others criticize it for being simplistic and repetitive. While the game offers a satisfying blend of stealth and action, it often lacks depth and can feel shallow compared to more ambitious titles. Overall, it serves as a decent introduction to the stealth genre, but many players desire greater complexity and variety in gameplay.

    • “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 soundtrack.”
    • “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 not only has an interesting narrative, but the gameplay is very addicting and you'll easily find yourself switching it up from time to time to fit different situations.”
    • “The gameplay is very boring and simple.”
    • “I didn't really like the gameplay and the level design, pretty basic and not very challenging.”
    • “But the gameplay is childish... the game consists of small levels divided into two floors each time with a save point located on each floor which you can use at any point but you can use it only once.”
