Celestial Return

For Gourmet Players! I came, i played and i loved. For an Indie Game this Gem would be a shining Star of your Month

General review: Would highly recommend playing this game. Pros: Fantastic and engaging story, characters you quickly become attached to, beautiful art, decent music. Cons: -Infrequent saves can lead to frustration / promote save scumming. There is no ability to save immediately after completion of each 'chapter', which can lead to some lost progress if you close the game after completing a chapter. - The dice system is quite interesting, but not overly engaging. It feels like either feast or utter famine. Before the recent patch, I found myself often with almost no dice, which felt more limiting than engaging. I think the greatest annoyance is the fact that in many situations, you cannot refuse a dice check. For instance, if you want to choose to save your dice and instead take some damage / fail a check, the game does not allow this - instead, you must choose between several choices that all use dice. After the recent patch adding more dice, I hit act 3, and I gathered way too many dice, which made the system feel meaningless. - Ending felt mildly unsatisfying / abrupt

farklı bir zar mekaniği kullanımı olmuş, hoşuma gitti. siberpunk atmosferini zaten severim. hikaye olarak da beğendim.

Hardlocked at RR buying drones as i dont have 2 dice

I've been following Celestial Returns' progress since its Kickstarter launch. I'm happy to see that you guys have made it. Congrats! The visuals in the game are awesome. The art style was one of the key things that made me follow the project, so I was already a little biased in favour of the game when starting to play it. The story and universe are intriguing so far. I'm curious where the Author(ity) will lead us eventually.

Good story. I failed a 4-check with 3 dice. Got rejected. Charged headfirst into a firearmfight. succeeded.

A breath of fresh air! Amazing visuals, captivating worldbuilding and a headscratching plot. A must play.

Thinks it's even cooler than it is, but ok, it's legit probably one of the 3-4 dozen coolest games I've tried (out of well over a thousand)

S-tier: art, characters A-tier: story (which is different than writing. in this I mean the themes, tone, overarching direction), mechanics B-tier: game interface C-tier: writing (to clarify, sometimes the English feels a bit clunky and might've done a service to have another editing pass)

Brings the "punk" back into "cyberpunk". A lot of newer cyberpunk media gets criticised for forgetting the genre's anti-authoritarian roots, but Celestial Return is not shy about pointing out the oppression and exploitation being snuck in under the corporate veneer of selling you the newest product (or ideology). The atmosphere and aesthetics are spot on: The game serves you up a gritty, world-weary noir detective story with Shadowrun-esque science-fantasy dressing, The characters are compelling, and all of them are hostile, a product of their hostile world. This makes the player's options for acting with kindness that much more impactful. The gameplay is in essence a text-based "Choose Your Own Adventure" book with dice-based event checks, where your stats and inventory determine which paths become open to you. I stumbled over a a couple of spots where the scripting (i.e. how every event is tied together - the writing itself is great) became wonky, but they're things that can be fixed with targeted feedback. That's why I recommend you play it, 'cause other than enjoying it, you might find a thing that warrants fixing or improving and tell the dev about it (and the dev seems to actively take a personal interest in bug reports in the Discussions forum) and then *I'll* get a smoother run next time I play through the game again.
