    Neon Hearts City blends colorful pixel-art graphics, intriguing challenges, excellent voice-overs, and mood-enhancing music to draw adventurers into its darkly exhilarating tale.

    Neon Hearts City is a tightly-designed adventure noir, with well-written dialogue and surprisingly heartfelt voice-overs. However, it struggles to make its voice heard in the vast continuum of cyberpunk futurism, and its systems are too familiar and simple to add any unique complexity to offset this. For those with a love of the subgenre, the honest graphics, thoughtful soundtrack, and nostalgic plot will grant a few sweet hours in a different reality. In the end, although all these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, it might be worth a visit to the City. Just remember to bring your raincoat, ramen noodles, and a healthy dash of cynicism.

    Its short length prevents Neon Hearts City from shining as brightly as it could, but slick production values, solid writing and simple but entertaining gameplay make for an intriguing enough tour while it lasts.

    A short-and-sweet cyberpunk-noir tale, Neon Hearts City tells its dystopian story simply and effectively. Featuring satisfying adventure gameplay and some excellent voice acting, it paints a pixel world that’s at once futuristic and nostalgic. Despite its short length taking the teeth out of its plot, this is a fun-sized experience that classic point-and-click fans will take delight in.
