Hunting Pearl Creek seems like a game that can be fun for those types of players who enjoy playing 2D Platformers, but it doesn’t seem like a game that has much replayability as it’s the exact same 9 levels over and over again.

I’ll be honest with you all, my dears. I have not stepped back into the gritty underbelly of Night City since ‘CyberPunk 2077’ was released back in 2020 (Cyberpunk 2077 – Review). While this grand-scale adventure RPG had technical issues, I loved that at the heart of it was a
