PART 1 - Let’s Play Some $#!7!: Dex
Sunday, March 2, 2025
Come join me for another installment of Let’s Play Some $#!7! | LPS$, where I play games to provide commentary to educate on game development to prevent another stressful Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario! Provided I don’t get too caught up in the game to comment, which, in a sense, is commentary in and of itself.
Today, we began a new playthrough of Dex! The game was first introduced to The Weekend Game Show | WGS via Let’s Play Some Demos! - Part 7!
I wanted to play to the point where the demo ended before the stream began, but I realized Saturday night the demo took place in the future, so instead of going through ALL of it again, I went through a bunch of side quests so it wasn’t a “replay” of the demo.
With all that out the way, here are my opinions, via the “Layered Compliment Sandwich”:
I said it in the Split Attention blog post, where I finished the demo; the design of Dex drew me in and kept me, and the story has me longing for more! Also, I think the demo was purposely easier, cuz it was kickin’ my ass this go around. I’m not complaining and I didn’t complain while I was playing, even if it seemed like it. This game was frustrating in a way that made me want to work to figure it out, not rage quit.
And, even though I don’t talk to people for very long, I’m still able to build connections with characters. Barbara dying genuinely upset me to the point where I had no problem reloading a previous save. Twice. And if I had to do what I think I do to ensure she lived, I might not finish that quest.

My biggest criticism was how difficult it was to get funds. The finding of the two “antiques” to give to Hank was helpful, but I don’t know what I would have done had the option not been there. I was stuck. And healing items cost too much. OR I just suck at the game.
Two things can be true at once.
And that’s it for this mini-review! Thank you for reading!
