Credit for being able to still appreciate what a game is/does even if the main gameplay doesn't work for the reviewer. Being able to recognize that something is done well, but not necessarily to taste is not easy.

Personally, the demo sold me on the mechanic and I liked the mix of hacking and shooting. Having to balance them both constantly with the mix of enemy types made it feel like the flavor never got stale.

I wound up picking up the game on Steam and my overall impression was, "I like this, but I don't love this," and after a few hours I set it aside and haven't gotten back to it since.

But then I decided to try the Switch 2 demo, and found it to be way more fun. The whole hacking element just seemed to work much better for me in handheld (presumably by virtue of the smaller-screen placing all of the stuff I had to pay attention to much closer together) and at this point I think I've spent more time playing the demo on my Switch 2 than the full game on my PC. Definitely plan to pick up the full game whenever it hits a decent sale on the eShop.
