The premise, in the publisher's words
Dex is a cyberpunk action role-playing game set in Harbor Prime, a sprawling city quietly ruled by powerful corporations bound together in a shadowy authority known as the Complex. Players take on the role of Dex, a young woman who suddenly finds herself hunted by the Complex's assassins with no clear idea why. Rescued by a mysterious hacker called Raycast, she is drawn into a growing resistance determined to break the Complex's grip on the city.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium/AMD, 2.0 GHz or faster, 1536 MB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 / ATI™ Radeon™ 2600 or better. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 8GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Dex launched on 7 May 2015, within three weeks of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
