Discover the truth behind an enigmatic AI striving to reach the Singularity, a theoretical “event horizon” in which artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence and all bets about the future will be off. How will you play your part in the story? Explore the futuristic city of Harbor Prime and meet its many inhabitants, answer the challenges the city has to offer, roam the neon-lit streets, and augment your character with skills and implants. Designed as a tribute to the classic RPGs from the ‘90s, updated for a modern audience, Dex invites you to become part of a living, breathing cyberpunk universe as you decide which ultimate path you will embrace.

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.
