The 2.5D cinematic action-platformer REPLACED has finally hit Steam, and it’s currently sitting pretty with a 'Very Positive' rating, boasting an 88% approval score.

Set in a grim, alternate-history 1980s America ravaged by a nuclear catastrophe, this narrative-driven cyberpunk thriller puts you in the shoes—or rather, the synthetic chassis—of R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, tasked with unravelling the dark secrets of the Phoenix Corporation.

As you wrestle with human instincts and emotions, the game peels back the layers of a corrupt world where morality is a luxury and life is traded like currency. It’s a compelling dive into themes of humanity, identity, and control, all while you try to figure out just why you were built in the first place.

Combat is a fluid affair, forcing you to chain melee and ranged attacks while navigating decaying industrial zones and neon-drenched alleyways. The visuals are a treat, blending pixel art with modern lighting effects to nail that retro-futurism vibe, all perfectly underscored by a moody synth soundtrack.

As of the 15th, the reception on Steam remains 'Very Positive' at 88%. Players are singing its praises, with comments like "The art style is simply superb," "It runs like a dream on the Steam Deck," "This is the Blade Runner game I’ve always wanted," and "The story and dialogue flow beautifully to deliver a real emotional punch."
