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 perfect 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.
