Just finished my first play-through, and wow. The art and visuals are very stylised and I love the mix of 2D and 3D assets I think it really helps give a sense of scale to the large rooms. The themes and messaging are consistent throughout and honestly, it reminds me of a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 but if you had to play as Johnny Silverhand. It will make you feel awful for the situation that neither you nor your host have control over.
Make no mistake just like any good game based in a cyberpunk world, you are just a grain of sand on a beach. There are no happy endings for people like you, not without losing something important. I think this game captures that idea perfectly and doesn't have a single point in the story where I felt bored.

Now the ending (or at least the one I got Running away with Ivan):
I have a feeling people will have mixed thoughts about the ending its sudden, but fitting. You don't really get a payoff, some reactions but nothing like a full epilogue and honestly, I like that. This was never your story, never your body. Does it matter where you came from? What an MBU is? No, I don't think so, if you want a game about an outsider taking over another's body and finding out about the secrets of your existence, this isn't it. I'd compare it more to parastye as this game more tackles what a human is, what thought is, and what gives a life (no matter how seemingly unimportant or how short) meaning.

100% recommend for any fans of omniscient readers viewpoint or Parasyte or psycho pass
spoiler for the ending: Did not expect the title to be that literal haha
