Would recommend only if you buy it on discount. The story didn't really blow me away, mostly because the main antagonist was more cringy than dangerous, and though some of the dialogue with other NPCs was entertaining, the interactions were too brief for any real depth. The puzzles were often frustrating, with lots of pixel hunting and trial and error when combining random pieces from your inventory, and I ended up just using a walkthrough for a good portion of the game. Visuals and soundtrack were top-notch however, and I wish they sold the soundtrack as a separate item since I'd buy that immediately (though it can be found on Spotify as well, but I'd prefer to support the artist). By the end of it I found myself wishing this was just a chill exploration game in the vein of Stardew Valley, since the city of Neo Berlin seemed to have a lot of thought put into its development and I would've liked to learn more about it than I was able to here.

Disclaimer: I have received this game for free through a LurkIt campaign for streamers. Leaving a review was not part of the campaign and I do it out of my free choice to share my thoughts.
THE BEST Point and Click game I've seen after loving Runaway series when it came out! (Afterparty also good)
I had a lot of laughs, the puns were really good, the story is interesting.
I wish I'd use save system more. I missed one of the optional stuff and will have to play from beggining to 100% it.
100% recommended, no matter if You're experianced with Point & click games or new to them it's definitely a good one to play! And it's on 90% sale :O

Exceptional! Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. The story made me stand up and applaud at the end. The visuals are simply stunning and I felt immersed in the world all the time. Sounds and music were perfect. Puzzles were just the right amount of difficult. 10/10 is too low a grade!

I was looking for games similar to monkey island and this came up on the recommended, for £2 I thought nothing of getting it and i'm glad i did. Although some parts seemed frustrating and impossible I got there eventually, Some bits can be annoying as the sheer size of Sam means he hides things so you sometimes have to move him forwards and around then use Tina for things, so would be better if you could just get him to stay in one spot for a while while you done stuff but this doesn't ruin the game. I loved the scenery some of the game is beautifully done and I like the jokes that are Easter eggs for other things that some people might not necessarily understand. Overall a good game that took me under 11 hours to finish but I didn't find all the secrets and wasn't speed running it either.

This game is a 6/10, hence the thumbs up.
The story is engaging.
The puzzles are rather simple but enjoyable.
NPCs are too eager to give you items, even without you asking them.
And too much pixel-hunting!
Despite its flaws, definitely recommended.

A warm story. Brilliant music and good picture provide me an extremely immersive trip. But the puzzles are relatively difficult, I guess thats why 3/4 players didnt finish it. Additionally, for the cyberpunk part, I give 7/10

This is only a recommend if you're in the sweet spot target audience of cyberpunk/studio ghibli fans (and yes it's a bit of an awkward marriage).
The story isn't great, the puzzles aren't great, the voice acting is ordinary and the contemporary political/pop culture references are really on the nose and drag you out of the game quite a bit. It's the artwork and world design that does the heavy lifting here and they're the main reason I persisted to the end.
