Although the plot is shaky at times (particularly in the third act) and the combat is rough without a light gun, this still feels like a pristine video game. The art is still gorgeous thirty years later, moody pixel art cityscapes perfectly rendering the first wholeheartedly cyberpunk video game and providing a visual legacy for the twilight of the original cyperpunk era. Even the pacing is excellent, which is quite a trick to pull off for an adventure game—a genre I dread as much as I love simply for how much time I end up spending reading item descriptions. It's a blessing that this got a contemporary release in the west.

I'm still so impressed the localization is so great for when it came out. It's definitely one of the best dubs I can think of from that era.

Yeah! Christa and I were looking through and realized that most of the VAs haven't really gone on to do anything else, which is a damn shame
