Be it fisticuffs or a shootout, it never feels like your skill has much of an effect on the outcome of a fight to the death. Gunplay isn’t much better, with enemies taking so many shots to kill that you’ll just be standing next to each other watching your health bars lower with each shot. Clost quarters combat involves throwing a punch or a divekick and hoping the enemy doesn’t block it. For these more dangerous moments, you can go into a building guns blazing, use stealth to take out foes one by one, or even hack your enemies to stun them and beat them to death.Īlthough the number of options you have to overcome your foes is impressive, the actual combat in Dex is very underwhelming. Sometimes conversations and checking a few private emails will get you where you need to be, but sometimes more aggressive action is needed. Similarly to its cyberpunk predecessor Deus Ex, in Dex confrontations can be overcome in a vast number of ways. Helping a waitress get her drugged up brother out of a brothel, or stopping a stalker from ruining a singer’s career are rewarding experiences both narratively and in terms of loot and experience. You’ll spend as much time with these side-quests as you do trying to overcome your shady enemies, and the shorter stories told within are some of the most compelling in Dex. You’ll cross paths with all manner of drug addicts, conspiracy theorists and prostitutes, each with their own charm and often with a problem they’ll need your help with. With the guidance of legendary hacking activitist Raycast, Dex will need to use her powers, an array of weapons, and a misfit group of allies to survive and escape her pursuers.ĭex is a likeable and witty character in her own right, but her allies and acquaintances are even more interesting. You play as the titular Dex, a blue-haired young woman being hunted by a powerful organisation due to her ability to hack into systems using only her mind. In the run up to CD Projekt RED’s vast new game, Dreadlocks have brought another cyberpunk game to the Switch: Dex.

#SWITCHUP BEWERTUNG SERIES#
Augmentations, drugs and grimy inner cities… what’s not to love? There have been some incredible cyberpunk games over the years (the Deus Ex series immediately jumps to mind) and it’s fair to say that there’s a lot of excitement for a certain upcoming cyberpunk game this year.

As a setting, I’ve always thought of cyberpunk as the most interesting in the sci-fi spectrum.
