Cloudpunk

Cloudpunk is basically Uber in a neon apocalypse and somehow its amazing. Simple gamplay but relaxing to me, music is hypnotic. And the story hits deeper than you'd expect. 10/10 - got lost for a half an hour and didn't even care because the city looked too good.

Good atmosphere, a bit too repetitive, but you have a dog companion, would recommend. ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

It's not perfect, and the themes of the story are presented in a very "on the nose" way most of the time, but the vibes are immaculate and the whole concept of the main plot is very interesting. It's a damn good game with a few flaws.

Cloudpunk looks like a fun game. It reminds me of the venerable Space Taxi. It's a Voxel game with some impressive visuals. You play a delivery driver in a floating sandbox city, fleeing from some old debts and a chopped up story line of little significance. The biggest issue in this game is the direction. The story is quite frankly confusing. You're playing a kindergarten teacher who likes to speak to herself, or her imaginary virtual friend dog that she uploaded onto her vehicle's AI "slot". She likes to imagine that she's a delivery driver in a floating city of the future, and this becomes some of the most mediocre script I've had to endure this year. There is a serious divide between the subject mater in Cloudpunk and the presentation that is made for children. There are countless single sentence dialogs that you can't skip. Torturous is putting it mildly. I love that the design was taken to an extreme, and absolutely ZERO grinding missions are offered at any time during the game. It's also a miss. Repeating a mission type a limited number of times to achieve something is not grinding. Most of the time, it's also necessary to have players train on the controls to become better. There is no such ramping in Cloudpunk. The first mission is as difficult as the last one and everything in between is stupidly easy. If the design had been aimed at a proper audience, the game might have had a generous amount of challenges to offer. Driving the HOVA is fun. There's some good feeling involved, but zero challenges. If this had been crossed with the Wipeout series, it would be a serious title to recommend. Unfortunately what's left, is a few technical geometry issues, where your character can fall off the map. A bizarre collision and damage scheme where most of the bumping you do ends up being scratches. And finally, a focus on the childish texts of a story you've read countless times in other formats. Eating pizza in game doesn't even make you fat. How many extra-large can you stuff into someone in a night in the future?? I do not recommend.

This game is actually one of the most relaxing, story driven indie games i've played. It gets boring at times but I always come back to it.

If you like walking sims, this might be for you - story, atmosphere and music/sounddesign are really good. BUT... there is a lack of gameplay to be found here that I didn't expect. You really have NO agency. You're watching a story unfold that you have absolutely no say in. And every line of dialogue has to be earned by walking / driving for a bit. Then you click a thing. Dialogue. Then you fly / walk some more. If you walk enough where you wouldn't need to, and you collect enough trash, you can buy something to fly a little bit faster. But not so fast that it would beat the tedium. Can't recommend. If you want the story, my suggestion would be to watch a letsplay - that way at least you can fast-forward to the next thing that's a little bit worth your time, which - like I said - the story really IS. But as it stands, the game doesn't respect your time. I've now spend six hours and still feel like I'm in the middle of the setup-the-mood-and-rules-of-the-world-phase, because NOTHING has happened so far. I'll stop now. Six hours is enough time spent waiting for the moment when I will finally be "playing" anything. But you can't play. You can only watch. Which is to say - you can listen. Because the characters are portrait pics of pixel art characters, so there isn't anything to watch, either. The voice acting is cool though.

重生之我在赛博世界当快递员——第一章 喜提新车，第二章 迷路，第三章 车被偷了（我真的没空陪你们闹了…… 优缺点都比较明显的游戏，整体玩法很简单，驾驶浮空车各处送货，可以沉浸式第一视角开车，但是浮空车的驾驶手感实在是不敢恭维，一不小心就成碰碰车模拟器了，好在雨夜霓虹灯赛博朋克氛围感十足，音乐烘托足够优秀，各个地区有不同的设计风格，很有意思。 故事始于丢了工作又没了住处的主角加入一家非法送货公司，途中邂逅各色NPC讲述各自的故事，剧情也因此较为碎片化，尽管是线性流程，但也需要玩家做出取舍。整体世界观设定和人物塑造很有趣，充斥着黑色幽默。 游戏具备一定探索和收集要素，下车跑图顺便捡破烂卖钱，不同地区的物价有所区别。下车之后如果切远视角的话是固定机位，跑到一半强制转镜头比较恼人。最初看3D像素小人到处溜达还是挺悠闲解压的，到了中后期好希望能出一键导航+跑图加速呃（´ー｀）。 吐槽一下地图和引导，设定是建立在海上的城市，不仅上下高度差在地图上标注得不够清晰，还存在大量悬浮电梯和不知道对应出入口在哪儿的快速通道，宛如到了导航来了都不好使的重庆，路痴泪目了。 经历如此晕头转向又忙碌充实的一夜，感觉自己新增二十年送货经验。

I had high hopes for this game. I was drawn in by the pixelated cyberpunk cityscape and synthwave soundtrack. However, the actual gameplay feels like a chore. Some of my issues are: - Parking. The parking spots for some locations are quite far away from the waypoint, so it is a hassle to walk over and then back to your vehicle. Especially when you have to wait for the slow elevators. - Dialogue. The dialogue is soulless and there are times when there are several minutes of unskippable dialogue that you need to wait for to finish to get the next quest. I often find myself zoning out waiting to get the next quest. - Annoying waypoints. The game will make you travel 1000+ metres to a waypoint, park, get out of the vehicle and walk over, only for the story to be like "wait there's nothing here! you actually need to travel to this new location over 1000 metres away!". This becomes very tedious quickly. - Bugs. There is a common bug I have encountered several times where the next quest will not appear unless I restart the game. I think this game has a lot of potential. But unfortunately, I cannot recommend this due to the flaws that make the game feel boring and tedious.
