在那个没有DLC的日子里待了二十八年。看官方的宣传片倒没有什么感觉,其实我都快忘光了。可是看到评论区,看着那些等不到DLC的玩家们哭嚎惨叫......那些场面我每天都会见到。不是戒断反应,就是玩不到DLC导致的。虽然才用了一星期,但感觉像是过了一年。我听见的每一个字都在变得更长,蚊子的嗡嗡声也变得越来越响。药物用完的时候,时间就彻底停止了。你就会像是永远停在了那个没有DLC的雨林里。就像是......在一个不断在变小的沙漏中的沙粒。
I grew up with no console or computer, so before this, I mostly just played random games on mobile, and cracked minecraft. In 2020 during the covid pandemic, I need a computer for online classes, so my dad got me an old laptop running on window 8, I think it only had around 3gb ram. I'm using it then I found a website that let you download many games for free, then somehow this game catch my eye, so I just downloaded and try it, at first it got me surprised because it ran very smoothly, I thought that potato can not even run it. At that time my english wasn't very good, and I'm not thinking too much when playing it, but somehow I understand the story, the dialogue, and what the game was trying to tell me, that was the first time I had ever experienced storytelling in a video game, also the gameplay was one of the coolest thing I've ever seen, I played it for like 2 weeks because I kept dying ( I was really bad back then) And now I finally got the chance to buy the game and play it legitimately, just finishing it, the game shorter then I remember, something similar something different, idk because I've forgot or new thing get added or I chose different route ( there's a thing that I remember, during the final conversation with the Psychiatrist, back then I made he kill himself with a gun, but this time I kill him with with a paper weight) Anyway thank for making this game, this game will always have a place in my heart, still looking forward for the sequel.
我初中接触这个游戏,玩的盗版, 现在高考完了回来补票,tmd还没有更新dlc
无需多言,本质切菜爽游,有一点点难,但是不是很难 就是流程有点短,不玩速通模式的话几个小时就通关了 还有我的第二部呢?
Smooth and fun gameplay. Memorable art style. Short, but good for replays. Runs on my potato laptop. Choices in the game are consequential, but they affect only minor occurrences but not the overall fate of the main characters. The plot and and the dialogue intertwine to create a believable and fascinating Cyberpunk world, but don't get your hopes high for the ending because it is a cliffhanger of which the completion depends on a DLC that people have been waiting for years.
pretty nice short game, a good story, pretty badass effects, i really like the glitches, achievements arent that terrible to get (tho i dont think ill get the last 2) unfortunately seems to end in a ''to be continued'' cliffhanger and its been 7 years lol, who knows maybe we get a sequel one day, gameplay is ok, the story is the main deal imo
You are a neo-noir samurai that uses a drug to slow down time and precognitively plan your path. One hit is death. You enter a room, deflect bullets, slow down time, die, and instantly rewind. When a level is cleared, the game plays it back as CCTV footage, making your run look effortless. The story revolves around trauma and memory loss. You navigate through government conspiracies and suppressed history to piece your identity together. It also features an amazing mechanic that allows you to aggressively interrupt NPCs mid-dialogue. This game's soundtrack is also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. I bought this game yesterday, fell in love with it, and beat it in one sitting all in 6 hours. Seriously. Go play it. Its on sale right now.
솔직히 이 새끼들 DLC 낼 생각 없는거 같음ㅅㅂ
проходил эту игру кучу раз на пиратке. Наконец то дошли руки купить лицензию и пройти снова. Шикарная игра, стильная, прикольный сюжет и геймплей. Минусов за все перепрохождения я так и не нашёл. перевёрнутые глаза на секретном боссе - это единственный минус игры
The dev really put a door in the game that says "Locked... I should come back in a few months.", announced a free dlc to finish the incomplete story, never released it. Door still says "months". 7 years on and the dev cant be arsed to change one word in the code from months to years. This game is like a really great action movie with a really great idea for a plot... which then fumbles it by trying to be more than it is and ultimately just leaves you feeling let down, too many unanswered questions and too much intriuge established and squandered. I regret that I cannot recommend this game.
