"Dex is an excellent take on a cyberpunk Deus Ex game, and it managed to accomplish that with a smaller development budget. The characters and world are fun and engaging, and there's clearly a lot of love that went into the title. The combat is plentiful but lackluster, but if you don't mind having to push through dull combat to reach the better parts of the game, then you'll like a lot about Dex. It might not be Deus Ex on the Nintendo Switch, but it's a lot closer than you might think." ... Read full review

"Dex is a well-made game, packing all the features you'd expect from a cyberpunk adventure. If that sounds like damning it with faint praise, it isn't. There's passion here for its world, and while you'll find it familiar territory if you've ever seen a cyberpunk game before, it's always fun to get your hands dirty and dig into its seedy, nasty little world. Fans of both RPGs and Metroidvanias should find something to like here. A compelling little mash-up that takes a little time to reveal its charms, but definitely delivers if you've got the patience for it." ... Read full review

"DEX delights and disappoints in ways that it feels only DEX can. The neo-noir, dystopian open world grabs your attention from the get-go, yet its grip loosens as the marvellous makes way for the mundane. What a shame." ... Read full review

I was not impressed at first as well, but after you pass first section in underground, it gets MUCH better, and the clumsy beginning combat makes even sense - you are starting as a no one and slowly becomes a combat beast. City is atmospheric and well designed (I was not lost at all), I liked the different levels of society, enjoyed the art, upgrades for Dex, soundtrack, and especially story, where even side quests got all of my attention. During the game, I didnt meet any of the game-breaking glitch or bug, so the Enhanced Version is really fixed and works well for me.
If you like cyberpunk themed games, go for it (and give it a chance, as I said, the beginning can be little irritating) - I love this game and there is really nothing I could complain about.… Expand

I am a fan of cyberpunk titles and I love the idea of dystopian settings. I thought the overall premise of the title was intriguing, but nothing I have not seen before.

I enjoyed the storyline a good amount. I found Dex and her crew of hackers to be redeeming and likeable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the voice acting as well and found myself very attached to Dex by the end of title. Interactions with NPCs were also fascinating and my favorite aspect of the game.… Expand

The combat is a bit stiff and on the easy side once you learn it (the melee, that is, using guns is almost pointless). The artwork and world building is quite lovely, in my opinion, and the writing is quite good. Upgrade system works well as well. I found the game a lot shorter than I expected it to be, and even still, the ending really dragged out (MGS:2 style).

What really kills the game are the horrible loading times, you need to go from one place to another quite often - and the loading times are just unacceptable compared to similar games.

Still, a very decent game, and it's worth playing if you have the patience for the loading. It's probably better to get on a PC if you can though.… Expand
