Our fears about the future came to pass. Millions eke out a pathetic existence soaked by drizzling rain and lit by flickering neons. One of them is you, a lone detective with a dark past. Sneak, shoot, and investigate alone or with partners, learning that some things are better left buried. From the Steam store page

    Beyond words horrible quality game-attempt leaving you with major disappointment GOOD Points: 1. The environment is full enough to suit the concept and atmosphere. 2. Having many language conversions and options is a good touch. 3. The artist who made the music did a great job for this title. Even though there is just a few tracks, they suit the atmosphere and places. I can even state that it is “the music” that adds the most positive points to the project. 4. Although it is half-baked…

    This game looks beautiful and it was made by 3 people so I want to give it some grace, but man…it needs some work. A lot of stuttering problems on top of gameplay issues that popped up right on the prologue. The main thing is both stealth and action feel like a slog. They tell you that you can do either. Alright. Let’s try the stealth approach. Take 1: Even though you’re crouching and moving quietly, any enemy somehow knows you’re behind them and can turn around really quickly after that…

    Finished the game in about 80 minutes on the easiest difficulty—normal difficulty was a bit too much for me. The atmosphere is well-crafted, and the visuals are pleasing. I liked the variety of weapons and gear to choose from. I also enjoyed the gameplay, but it feels too basic—it should offer more than just aiming and shooting. The music is good, but the sound effects don’t quite fit. I expected gunshots to be louder than footsteps. The story felt shallow, and some parts were a bit…

    At the current stage, do not buy it. The art is great, but the rest of the game is horribly unfinished. The gameplay is very shallow. The enemies are dumb as bricks: They either run in a line towards you as you shoot them, or just stand next to you and shoot at you, making no attempt at hiding or doing anything else. Guns feel completely identical, only varying slightly in damage numbers (except the stun gun and the rocket launcher). Every story is the same: Go to a place, kill everyone,…

    Really like this style of game but unfortunately it's too unstable. Playing on Steam Deck, performance is OK, but every time I die it hard crashes when reloading. About to refund. Will check back and try again if reviews improve.

    The game is still "raw". The shooting feels like peeing, in the sense that you don't feel much "recoil" or "impact" whatsoever. I bought an assault rifle, and it feels like firing energy beam The combat feels very "early access" quality.

    I received this game for free and I don't think you could even pay me to play it again. the hospital mission actually made me start losing my ♥♥♥♥. I swear to god there's no checkpoints and 3+ floors with a "boss battle" at the top. everything's easy the second you get an assault rifle but the second you're out of ammo you're finished. also tell me why you can't hide after being compromised?? like at least make a mechanic that increases enemy awareness when you lose their tail! put some effort…

    I simply cannot recommend this game. I would take two steps and there would always be something that made me go "why did they do it like this?" Combat and stealth don't work, the level design and enemy placement are garbage (and sometimes there would be more enemies randomly). If you wanna have an idea of how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is, I once restarted the first mission at the checkpoint and got myself into an unwinnable situation because I would always get caught by a punk that I neutralized…

    The cyberpunk atmosphere was well executed. The levels were fun, and I played them multiple times using both stealth and action approaches.

    Looks beautiful at first sight but the moment the action starts, it's just bad. The start of the plot is dumb (you get robbed within 6 dialogue messages?) Enemies are spongy, spongier than The Division - probably an attempt to artificially prolong the game. Even on easy they are spongy af - games usually scale the enemies up with time or something. Overall not even worth your time. We were hoping for something similar to the Ascent but nope. Moving onto CyberCorp, that looks more promising.

    **Review of Detective 2112 - The Case of Missing Features** I recently played in co-op with a friend, and while we had some fun, the game felt more like a demo than a fully fleshed-out product. First things first: **don’t buy it at full price**—it just doesn’t justify the cost in its current state. The experience is enjoyable but limited, and there are quite a few aspects that need some attention. The core concept of playing as detectives sounds cool, but unfortunately, the game-play doesn’t…

    As my friend have said "You forgot to put a game in your game". The game has good visual style and setting - cyberpunk detective and that is why we decided to play the game. I played with 3 friends. While the visuals are really good, we got a bit suspicious, so after a 5 minute research we found that the all visuals are assets, because compared to other parts of the game they are really good. The gameplay is repetitive and uninspiring. You "have" two options - stealth and loud approach. In…

    DeTechtive 2112 pulls you into a gritty cyberpunk world with a solid mix of storytelling and gameplay. It’s not perfect there are a few rough edges but if you’re into detective stories and co-op adventures, it’s definitely worth checking out.

    The game crashes whenever the host of a multiplayer game dies. Despite mentioning that missions can be completed either by stealth or gunfighting, the first mission instantly calls all enemies if any one is detected despite no one finding bodies or alerting other enemies unlock what the tutorial or trailers show.

    The game was short but really good. The gameplay was very smooth and never felt boring. By the time I finished, it left a nice feeling. As an update: many of you think that the game uses ready made assets. I thought the same. But when i did a little bit of research i found out the assests were made individually by the team. Which is impressive.

    Just no. Stealth is the only way early on. Take away the weapon because it is worthless. I did two mission and the gun was useless on both. If you are seen, restart. The restart from checkpoint and the restart mission are easily mistaken or misclicked so instead of restarting at a checkpoint you start all over. Early weapons are useless. Enemies are waaaay too strong. Cut scenes are so bad. What minimal voice acting there is, is terrible. Graphics are decent. Story didn't really pan out for…

    The game is okay. I've seen a few bugs in the game but they didn't bother. it's kinda demo vibe. Overall is not bad , but it is not worth $5,49 at all.

    Özetle olmamış kardeşim. Olumlu olmaya çalıştım ama gerçekten hem grafik yapısından hem sıkıcı savaşlardan başıma ağrı girdi, gözlerim yoruldu. İçerik desen resmen o da yok ya… Silah alıp gidip dümdüz üzerime akan gerizekalıları avlıyorum, silahtan başka alacak birşey yok da zaten. Silahlar da birkaç tanesi hariç birbirinin aynısı, yemeyin bizi yani… Şu anki durumda bunu bu kadar saat oynadığını iddia edenlere şaşıyorum, bu kadar mı yokluktasınız?.. Özellikle adını görünce dedektif oyunudur…

    Очень хорошая игра! Настолько хорошая, что отличие нормала и харда - в 3 раза, в то время как у нормала и легкого - ни одного. На нормальном у противников дамаг по 5, а на харде по 10, когда ещё и стреляют очередью (Прошли с другом на нормале, так как на харде первую миссию буквально невозможно пройти без патрон и ППшки). Сам жанр - КИБЕРПАНК, киберпанк прошёл полностью, хотя не об этом речь. Сама игра - настолько смешная, что он проходится буквально за 1 час. НА СРЕДНЕЙ СЛОЖНОСТИ, да-да. Всего…

    Very dissapointing. Game is clearly unfinished. The concept is interesting, visuals are really good, the soundtrack is also very good and fits the atmosphere. Here the good part ends, basically everything else is bad or lacking in some way. Between missions the city is open for no reason whatsoever. There are only two stores, one that sells guns and ammo and the other that is supposed to sell tools but really sells grenades only. There is literally nothing else going on there. If you…

    Unfortunately I cannot recommend this title in any way. Everything in it looks like it was taken straight out of the game jam project and left that way, except the pumped up graphics which looks presentable on the steam page. The story in story mode is close to non-existent, level design in inconsistent, none of the gameplay modes, either stealth or gun combat, really works, the enemy AI is straight up garbage. The cases do not even have simple checkpoints, which gets even more frustrating…

    DeTechtive 2112 is a stylish cyberpunk action-adventure game developed by M11 Studio and published by 5D Creations that attempts to merge the grit of noir storytelling with the fast-paced energy of a top-down shooter. Set in the dystopian world of 2112, it casts players as Matthew Wallace, a war-scarred private investigator trying to survive in a city drowning in neon lights, corporate corruption, and technological decay. The premise promises a blend of crime drama and futuristic action—a…

    First of all, I have to say that the atmosphere of the game is truly captivating. The dark theme and graphics are very impressive. Additionally, the weapon mechanics are quite satisfying. You can choose different weapons for various missions and develop different strategies. The game also offers a co-op mode where you can play with your friends. I highly recommend this game, and I believe you'll enjoy it as well!

    I think the cyberpunk theme works for this game. The gameplay has a ballance between hard and fun. It is not a replacement for cyberpunk 2077 for sure, but a good deal for the price. I will try co-op when I have some friends to play with, it sounds fun.
