   I received this game right on the release day and have been having a blast. The art direction is top notch from Platinum Games, as the cyberpunk aesthetic starts off right from the intro sequence. The game is pure eye-candy. The combat is fun, and easy to get the hang of. The astral chain game mechanic is fun, a bit challenge at first, but the game forces you through training that gives it a very low learning curve. Unlike a lot of action, fighting games, this one is forgiving if you want it to be. The story is getting pretty interesting, there’s a good mix of puzzles, fighting, and story. A very good start to the first few hours of gameplay.

   So I’ll go ahead before hand that this may not bother most of you out there looking to buy this game in 2022. As I understand it, this game is getting harder to find so when I found a “new” copy online for the original 60 asking price I decided to pick it up. It came in some cellophane wrap and at first glance it really looked new to me until I unwrapped the game. It’s obvious that the seller tried really hard to make it look legit it had those “box edges” on the wrapping that you’ll see in new switch games but it just looked off. Then I looked inside and they left their reseller information. So look, you could look at this as it being new but to me it’s a little scummy when you take a game that’s used and make an effort to make it look like it just came from a target shelf and then claim it in the akiya-switch.com listing as “New”. It’s not new it’s a used(hopefully legit) copy that’s passed off as new. I’ll also leave one last thing that I noticed , so in Asian regions switch cases are slightly different; the spot where you open up the game is has a curved edge inside and it basically makes the game easier to open (I’ll post some pictures for comparison) as apposed the games I could get from the U.S for example, have no curve and are more “boxy”. The resellers are in Asia, they’re using Asian switch cases/boxes but the box art has an ESRB rating. Again take this all how you want I just wanted to let other future buyers know this and if it bugs you then stay away from it. I’ll play the game to see if at least it’s a legit cart and not gonna kill my switch (I’m sure it’s legit but you never know) and add that info later
