May 31, 2017On Tokyo 42's website, the developers boast the game as a beloved blend of Syndicate and Grand Theft Auto, and honestly, they couldn't be more wrong and right. It's both those games in spirit, but twists them into something wholly its own. Tokyo 42 is an isometric cyberpoppunk action-shooter with a city that's worth getting lost in.

May 31, 2017This spin on Tokyo is breathtaking to view and full of memorable moments, all of which are worth dying over and over for.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jul 24, 2017Regardless the badly managed shootouts against the hordes, the game will convince you of its high quality thanks to its art styling and flawless open world. [Issue#274]

Jun 5, 2017A new way of looking at things, quite literally, and one that chooses bright joyfulness as its medium and lives up to it through its play. It's absolutely worth the time and the money, and if you find it frustrating, I encourage you to give it another few hours. Just about anyone who does will be charmed by the supersaturated, gloriously isometric, high octane, quirkily funny cyberpunk blowout that is Tokyo 42.

May 31, 2017I enjoyed almost every minute I spent with Tokyo 42. Few games feel so immediately and consistently inviting - there are no penalties for pissing about in this urban utopia. You don’t even have to feel bad about killing civilians, as they’ll simply flicker back to life once you’ve ended your shooting spree. It’s a remarkable shooter, a solid stealth-‘em-up, and a terrible racing game.

May 31, 2017Tokyo 42 is a stylish action shooter with a distinctive and colorful scenario. The freedom related to the completion of each mission and the variety of the equipment are significant qualities, however the variety of missions could have been deeper.

May 31, 2017As far as debut projects go, Tokyo 42 is a great game with a fascinating sense of style and a confident swagger, let down by a handful of little things. Controlling how to shoot takes some getting used to and that sharp increase in difficulty was unwelcome to say the least, yet I had a fantastic time sneaking around and assassinating targets however I wished. A great effort.

May 31, 2017An isometric shooter with a ton of style, and a lack of complexity that works in its favour.

May 31, 2017Visually stunning but wholly underwhelming, Tokyo 42 fails to capitalise on its inventive premise.

May 31, 2017Beautiful, strange and sometimes a bit fiddly, Tokyo 42 offers a dazzling toybox to explore. [Recommended]

May 31, 2017Tokyo 42 is an inventive and strikingly attractive game, with a very natural blend of stealth, combat and figuring out a path, unfortunately hamstrung somewhat by absolute fealty to its isometric perspective. I alternated between the beautiful tension of sneaking through busy places (personally, I incline towards the silent kills of a katana rather than the Syndicate-esque mass destruction of miniguns and rocket launchers) and the jaw-clenched annoyance of death-by-camera. An impressive accomplishment, but sometimes a grating one too.
