SUMMARY

Cyberpunk RED is hands down the roleplaying game you'll want to turn to if you're looking to capture the flavor of those classic Gibson, Williams, and Sterling tales. The Interlock system is very easy to grasp and players will be able to jump right in with a trio of character creation avenues. Sure, I have some critiques of the layout and how it isn't very intuitive in areas and I'm not sure if the book will hold up to a low of use but nothing serious enough for me to not highly recommend Cyberpunk RED for anyone looking to play in the genre.
