When it comes to actually providing a fun experience, that's a bit more shaky. While the exploration based framework and interconnected world comes off very well, the combat is such an unavoidable drag, and since that is such a core part of gameplay, everything is brought down with it. There's still a lot of value to be found if you're a cyberpunker, but otherwise, the future is bleak.

Dex is an awesome Czech platformer from cyberpunk environment with a touch of Deus Ex. In the beginning the game had a few bugs, but these have long since been fixed, and thanks to the Czech dubbing it is a really good choice for all lovers of the genre. This is a hilarious old-school RPG that immerses you with its non-linear story and a variety of side quests.

Dex is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s atmosphere and characters are good enough for anyone to dive into. However, the combat, hacking, and menu systems are flawed. This will be a deal-breaker for those who want to uncover the truth but simply can’t get good. Dex does not lend itself properly to compliment its difficulty with unpolished mechanics, and the story alone won’t compensate this issue for many players.

If other elements and mechanics of the game would move along with its amazing world and characters, we may have had something more than a decent game.

While shaky in the opening act, Dex ultimately comes into its own and provides a short (but worthwhile) cyberpunk experience.

Dex lacks in some areas, but I think the overall experience was pretty enjoyable. Being able to make your own choices and have different outcomes adds a lot of replay value. (Not a game for kids)

Dex is gorgeous to look at, has a captivating story to engage in and is downright frustrating when you need to fight your way out of danger.
