Neo Cab Reviews
With its topical writing and interesting characters, Neo Cab is a compellingly-crafted science-fiction adventure that sparks important questions on where technology and society might be headed.
Neo Cab is a smart, engaging visual novel. Containing light survival mechanics, emotional manipulation, and customer service, this combination of short stories and overarching plot choices create a unique voice in the visual novel genre.
Neo Cab is a great interactive adventure that emphasizes on forming relationships. Every decision feels important in Neo Cab and will impact the story and your relationship with others. Although the main campaign is only about 3 hours, Neo Cab is a great game to replay and see how different conversations and actions can affect the main story. Neo Cab’s memorable characters and futuristic vibe makes it a very fun and unique experience. Although some minor technical issues and limited soundtrack hurt the overall polish of the game, Neo Cab’s great story, characters, and emotion managing mechanic keep it fun. It also gives a realistic view of what society could become if it continues to prioritize technology over everything else.
Neo Cab tries to act deep and some people may very well believe its acting with all the blue and purple lights, but at best it’s quite cliché and at worst it’s just shallow and superficial.

Neo Cab asks a lot of interesting questions about precariousness, automation, social control through technology, data usage, and especially how to hold on to your humanity in a monopoly under unregulated capitalism. The execution of the game is questionable, but it can be worth it to give it a look for fans of narrative-focused experiences.

Taking place mostly in your rideshare car, Neo Cab offers a fascinating premise through a small and memorable cast of city dwellers. It's not politically shy, and it has fascinating worldbuilding down to the mundane.
Neo Cab is a wonderfully experimental and depth filled visual novel full of charm and emotion. You'll find yourself enjoying this ride to its end and more than willing to have paid the fare.
A very contemporary dystopia that wants to talk about a lot of things --and it does, indeed.

Neo Cab is a narrative game that introduces us into the skin of a taxi driver in a not-so-future dystopia, where existential problems and reflections will envolve us one by one and make us want to continue to stick to the screen with the little stories of the secondary characters that we will meet. Perhaps the main story falls short of these sub-stories, but overall it is a remarkable game and recommended for lovers of this type of games.

Neo Cab is exactly how you would expect it to be, with a little extra that makes it really noteworthy, at least for fans of graphic adventures and/or futuristic themes. The Feelgrid is something really new in the genre (which is not so easy nowadays) that makes it different from the other titles like that.

When it comes to cyberpunk stories/adventures who knew that the Switch would slowly end up with a collection of them of sorts? I suppose the neon-tinged visuals and semi-futuristic settings that are then possible allow for exploring slightly different narrative territory, and that’s something that Neo Cab does well...
At the end of a long shift, Neo Cab's strong writing and effective story-telling make it well-worth hailing.
Neo Cab is a delightful experience that sometimes trips over itself due to certain design choices. Make sure to check out the demo before purchasing.
Neo Cab is a captivating story-driven game that gives a glimpse at what a world practically run by robots might look like. With a wonderful art style, a fascinating setting and a story that’ll instantly grab you, it’s well worth taking a ride with.
Neo Cab is very similar to story-based indie titles, but the difference is that it is telling its story way better, and If the gameplay had more depth or if the characters had voice, it could have become an absolute hit.

It's completely understandable why Neo Cab wouldn't be for everyone. A completely unique experience of this kind could alienate, and make it difficult to justify taking a punt without an in-depth examination of what to expect.
Neo Cab is a chilling cyberpunk story that never loses sight of its character's humanity.
Neo Cab presents a solid discussion and encourages conversation with ourselves and technology.
Neo Cab takes a dark, cynical look at a near future dominated by one megacorporation. For as bleak as it is, there's a level of catharsis to be found in its narrative, which mostly unfolds in the backseat of the protagonist's car.
Neo Cab's malevolent tech-noir is a vehicle for exploring, and ultimately surviving, the tenacity of its passengers and the ambivalence of its driver. As a narrative adventure Neo Cab is full of conflicted, enigmatic, and sophisticated characters all vying for validation in a tortured world. As an opaque lens on social responsibility and morality, it's as distressing as it is compulsive. Neo Cab's tech-addled dystopia functions a travelogue to the pain and purpose of being human.
