The best cyberpunk game to date, mainly because it does not fall into the trap of putting neon signs, kanji and rain inside a grimdark world of epic proportions, but instead focuses on the contrast of what you want the world to be versus what it is. It finally gives you a middle ground between the absolute lowlife encountered in >observer_ and the transhuman aesthetic of Ghostrunner, being a middle-of-the-road kinda guy similar to Cloudpunk.

At this point, I appreciate Daedalic's traditionally slower pacing because for once in this genre, you and more importantly the world get to breathe, not pushed forward by thumping electronic beats or tense horror atmosphere.

Not only is this a great expansion of the cyberpunk genre, but it is also one of the best modern adventures as a whole.
