The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want a neon cyberpunk shooter with loot-driven builds, and who like sharing the chaos with friends in co-op.: Every fight is a stream of gunfire, cover, and enemy swarms, while bright neon streets and a grimy corporate city keep the look unmistakable. Tradeoff: Its loot-heavy progression and busy screen can feel overwhelming, and some tougher encounters arrive with little warning.
