Note: recommended only on sale, not really worth buying at full price because it can go 90% off on sale

Hard Reset is a modern old-school style shooter set in cyberpunk environment

Pros:
+ world is impressive, lot of detail in background scenes, cyberpunk setting indeed well realised
+ graphics overall look good
+ voice acting and soundtrack are good
+ 10 different weapon modes, each is like its own weapon and with an alternative fire
+ upgrades for both weapons and character, potentially many different playstyles
+ combat can be fun, especially on easier difficulties
+ levels have secrets

Cons:
- combat is less fun on harder difficulties because enemies get spongy
- story is kind of hard to follow
- no manual saving, only checkpoints
- levels have lots of invisible barriers, can be hard to figure where u can jump when searching for secrets
- searching secrets also hindered by constant points of no return
- lots of clutter on the screen in combat
- not a fan of the regenerating armor/shield system, mostly just causes sudden deaths when it runs out without noticing, from 50hp to 0 instantly can happen on normal difficulty

Verdict:
6/10, above average
worth checking out for fans of this kind of games
