    Have you put in a refund request?
    No. I've played more than 2 hours and I knew what I was buying.

    I'm not one of those people who completes Cyberpunk and then requests a refund.

    Besides, I'm looking to complete the 52-in-52 challenge this year, I'm on 51 and I want to make this the final game on the list.

    Also, just to be clear... the agonising thing with this is that it is so close to being decent. It's technically proficient - I've seen jankier games from much bigger studios. The soundtrack's good. There are big chunks of gameplay where it feels pretty decent.

    But a few design decisions around specific enemies, checkpoints and how bosses are handled tips it from an 8/10 to a 3/10. This could so easily have been corrected.

    Choose your own adventure

    Your video game isn't selling well.

    To listen to feedback and work on the gameplay, turn to page 4

    To solve this by porting to as many consoles as you can, turn to page 246

    This is so frustrating indeed. I had a look at the gameplay clip on the Nintendo eShop and it actually looks very good in motion. I might have even gone for it if it was in a sale, but you've talked me out of it.

    For the rest, what font said.

    In my memories of the game, the Freddie Mercury boss pales into insignificance next to the fact that there's a cyborg ninja called Colin.

    I know he was aiming more for a Shinobi vibe, but it's still a joke to be asking 20 quid for this on Switch when you can get Streets of Rage 4 for a couple of quid more.

    Well, at least NintendoLife seems to like it:
    https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/shadow_gangs

    Maybe someday, if it ends up in a sale, I might pick it up.
    If only because he endured all our crap and actually made the game he wanted to make.

    Oh and: Shadowgangs 2: Shadowgangster

    I'm not sure I want a sequel. I think they should concentrate on other homoerotic homages.
