I didn't know anything about this show going in except that Ubisoft characters were in it, and i came out feeling like Ubisoft watched Edgerunners, said "sure we could do that" and put this together. It doesn't tie the various game characters together, and other that a "dimension X", i just assumed the characters are only there so they didn't have to flesh out everyone. I felt like i was filling in the gaps on characters like Sam Fisher and Marcus. I still think the idea is neat, but it makes no attempt to explain why all these people are here. They just are. Which i wasn't able to do when every episode had a moment of pointing and saying, "WOW IT'S GUY FROM VIDEO GAME!" It also just has 'hybrid' and 'alien' persons, but again it makes no attempt to explain their presense other then "Eden made them" without really showing anything. Honestly, a lot of this show is mentioning something without explaining why it's there. I don't need a detailed explanation of why everything in your world, but something would be nice.
The actual animation is nice. Nothing groundbreaking, but I liked the colors and the setting was interesting. The sections of pixel art were a cool distinction from the rest of the show. There's also a bit near the end with the voice actors being filmed and "pixeled" (im sure theres a real term but im not sure what its called) with the 2D animation. I liked the mixed styles and it kept me interested to see if they would have any other curveballs.
The only standout to me was the Rayman subplot, which was a cool idea for a dystopia world, but this is only a small part of the series. The idea of this person starting at the top of the corpation and falling down into the rebels is cool, and i wish this was the main plot with the extra stuff written once rayman fell from grace. The voice actor for Rayman does a great job.
TL:DR not terrible, but watch Edgerunners if you want a great cyberpunk story.
