“After having played for some time and decided, that i have enough, i wanted at least leave a conclusion here: Warning: this game is clearly for adults, has topics, like sex, rape, drugs, torture and so on. Cyberpunk…”
“Mix the following ingredients: - Neo Scavenger - Disco Elysium - Cultist Simulator Add a little cyberpunk sauce. Summary: fresh and exciting in a doomed world of AI garbage and soulless AAA games.”
“I've not played in years at this point but in simple terms, even without its many advancements since I last played, this is one of the most interesting games ever made. I don't mean good (it is very good), I don't mean…”

“Extremely fun "life simulator" type game with really good writing, intriguing characters, evocative setting, and MANY different ways to play. It's a lot of reading, but if that doesn't bother you, it's absolutely worth…”

“This game’s pacing is painfully slow. The main reason is the severe shortage of action points: even if I log in twice a day, I can barely move the story forward. Balancing stats, grinding for money, and farming…”
“This game is a giant waste of time designed to get you to spend money; basically your standard freemium structure. I never spent any real money on this game, even though it drew me in pretty well, but the last 50+ hours…”
“An interesting, though somewhat frustrating choose your own adventure game. The key mechanic - that action replenish over real-world time - can be very annoying. Other design choices compound the frustration: progress…”

— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“I love this game, but I can't recommend this to most people because of the action point system. This game is so in depth, action point system hinders everything about it. I would gladly pay $50 for an offline version of this game, that's how much I hate the action point system,…”
