Dex is a 2D open-world role-playing game set in Harbor Prime, a futuristic city ruled by powerful corporations. You play Dex, a young woman who finds herself hunted and has to find out why. The city is open to explore, with side quests, factions and characters who can help or hinder you.
Problems can often be solved in different ways, through combat, conversation, stealth or hacking, which is shown as its own small action sequence inside cyberspace. You can also install augmentations to improve your abilities. It is a single-player game with a steady pace, suited to players who enjoy cyberpunk stories and RPGs with choices.
