Yeah, and Barbie won big at the Oscars....74 is a good game at the very least.

It's $2.50 folks, and it's actually pretty fun. I'd pay $20 for it after the experience i had on Gamepass

Cool weapons and gear to loot for different builds, etc. Reminds me of what Cyberpunk Diablo wud look like. In fact, I'd play this over the 95-average scored Diablo 4...

It's worth your time.

I had a lot of fun playing this game, it was free on Xbox Gamepass. This was the Cyberpunk game I had fun with when the official cyberpunk was a trainwreck.

This game has excellent world building and style. It definitely becomes a little too easy after you level up, but it never stops being fun. For 2.50 its a no brainer.

It is a very good game. Kind of isometric cyberpunk.
Great environmental design, very good graphics and flexible builds. for $2.5 absolutely recommend grabbing.

This game is pretty rad. It's a pretty straightforward twin stick shooter rpg. It sort of seems like it's going to be fairly loot based, but the loot is pretty minimal (lots of picking up copies of what you have). I think people thought they were going to get cyberpunk diablo, and it doesn't really deliver on the loot, but it does on the cyberpunk and the action.

I played it back on Xbox One X and the load times were insane. Hopefully the PC loading is much better.

Have to agree - this is a hidden gem. Isometric RPG with guns. Co-op, too.

They nailed the atmosphere (look/feel) of the game, but the game itself was a little bit uneven. The difficulty had some weird spikes and the sidequests were unimpressive. The main quest was just OK.

I played it on Game Pass and enjoyed it. If you're at all interested in playing a top down shooter, I don't think you can go wrong for $2.50. Additionally, if you like the cyberpunk genre, I would heartily recommend this.

Good game, a bit repetitive, but great atmosphere. Cyberpunk Diablo with guns. I paid full price when it came out and got my $ worth. The DLC however, wasn't worth it to me.

For less than 3 bucks, go for it. Would be a great candidate for steam deck too.

When this game first released it was basically unplayable, at least on Xbox. I know they make plenty of fixes so the game didn't completely break anymore and make more end game content which was lacking on release.

Not on GamePass anymore. Too bad it looks like it's Play anywhere on Xbox.

I tried this on game pass. I enjoyed it until I got stuck on a boss and fell off it because of too many backlogged games. I am certainly considering it at this price.
