"If you enjoy science fiction, futuristic settings and detective series or movies, Neon Blood is perfectly made for you. ChaoticBrain Studios has managed to develop a very good narrative adventure that blends cyberpunk and film noir aesthetics wonderfully."

"I hope a lot of folks connect with Neon Blood in a way that I sadly couldn’t, as there really is a lot to enjoy here, but the choices in gameplay mechanics did wear me down in the end."

"Neon Blood stands out for its art, featuring incredible environments, great pixel art, and incredible hand-drawn cutscenes. However, the rest of the gameplay and narrative features a disappointing lack of depth, preventing the game from reaching its full potential."
