Once you reach zero, you’ll need to wait for your Actions to build back up, or you can buy Credits using real-world money to expedite the process. Credits can also be used to buy locked content, should you come across it while playing. Credits are definitely optional, though. I was provided 1,000 Credits for review purposes, but in my weeks of playing, I’ve only used 170 Credits. I really only used them during my longer play sessions that lasted upwards of two to four hours.

In the tabletop game, Cyberpsychosis happens when a player reaches zero humanity points. This is because they are constantly acquiring more and more cyberware for their character. When this happens, they go insane, just like the cyberpsychos in the video game. It also explains why the Maelstrom gang has a ruthless and unpredictable reputat


I’m sitting far enough back that I’m out of the crowd. Watching. Watching the line of people and vehicles as they wait at the border. Watching the Tower Group guards as they give the go-ahead to some to pass through the gate, forcing others – often physically – out of line and sending them wearily back to the bordertown; the badlands. They were probably mutants. Tower guards hate mutants. On the other side of the gate lies Cincinnati, now one of the only places in North America that’s hospitable enough to act as a major city – at least, as far as I’m aware right now.
