This game is a masterpiece. The ambience and atmosphere are incredible and one of the absolute best cyberpunk cities I've seen. It's such a pleasure to explore the huge maps. Check this small documentary about some of the tricks behind it and how such a small team managed to pull it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a78WoZeZGqI
Cons: There's a few crashes every now and then. Seems the dev's aren't updating it anymore. Potential for greatness is there, but as it stands a solid 7/10 game. Pros: If you love the world of Blade Runner and Cyberpunk you'll be right at home in this game. It's a fun shooter, the story is a little thin, but the weapons are fun, exploring is fun, it's an easy pick up and play for 20mins then put down or stay immersed for a couple hours type of game. Nothing groundbreaking, but good fun.
It's ok. The price point of $30 dollars is a lot to ask for something that has a tendency to freeze and crash though. The gameplay is incredibly simple. It a twin-stick shooter with a simple evade button with the real differences being 3 active abilities and 2 passives. They probably have a decent variety of abilities, but I didn't find many. The gunplay is alright, but it's repetitive and not much variety in it. The story and the world seemed interesting and there was a lot of effort to make the codex; it's not enough to make up for the rest though. The soundtrack is nice.
Game has great design and a theme. But difficulty is on Dark Souls stupidity level even if youre not playing on highest. If you don't like that kind of anoying forced challange. Just stay away. You will be pissed off many times.
игра норм. была проблемка с вылетом но вроде все хорошо
Better come out with #2 soon!
Action RPG que se inspira no estilo de Diablo porém com uma ambientação totalmente futurística e cyberpunk. História simples e que cumpre bem seu papel. Gameplay divertida e bem direta, apenas avance e atire em todos os inimigos, boa variedade de armas, armaduras, imigos, itens e habilidades. Dá para montar diversas builds e mudar o estilo de gameplay. Os gráficos são muito bonitos e dão uma imersão bacana nas áreas que visitamos, apesar de ter só um único tema (cidades cyberpunk), elas são bem feitas e é legal você andar e ver o comportamento dos npcs. O jogo não é muito complexo, você só anda de A para B e depois volta para A, atirando em tudo que mexe, a exploração é recompensadora, então vale a pena sair chafurdando atrás dos itens. Recomendo para quem gosta dos Diabloslike e quer um jogo rápido, que não vai levar 30, 50 horas. Além disso pode ser jogado em coop com amigo.
Все 10 из 10(визуал и тд) кроме геймплея, он слишком простоват что ли,в общем ожидал поглубже Атмосфера 10 из 10, звук, скины все круто, расы пушки, но увы
J'ai adoré la direction artistique cyberpunk dysto, trés bien respecté , ainsi que l'ambiance vraiment extra , tellement de personnages de véhicules de décors et la musique , tout est immersif comme le Sound disign des armes aussi trés réussi. Les graphismes sont top pour un iso (mais pas extra non plus )mais le rtix ne donne pas grand chose en + à part la surchauffe. et surtout brise les fps , Cb2077 full ultra path tracing on 1080 p 280 fps , The ascent Ultra 1080 p rtx on /mode processeur perf on = 50 65 fps. Pour le gameplay , je ne suis clairement pas fan , le coup Fov trop trop proche ainsi que la non possibilité de régler In game la sensibilité des controllers est vraiment trés surprenant quand on voit tous le travail d'interface de gestion , d'immersion et scénaristique. Le petit cercle de placement est lui aussi génant je trouve et aurais été sympa de pourvoir le rendre visible ou non comme le réticule non personnalisable. Obligé d'utiliser Unreal engine unlocker ce qui n'est pas du tout normal . Sans parlé des Hitbox totalement brolen ,qui oblige à changer d'armes dans la page d'équipements puis la rééquiper pour quel touche . Juste Ca dégoute clairement du jeux. Puis la difficulté, le jeux est plus dure en facile quand difficile. Incomphréensible. Compter une bien 10 heure pour la quête principal . Par contre certain moment sont vraiment difficile solo même en facile .Obliger de constament switcher en les levels de difficultées car une fois trop facile puis aprés hyper dur. Beaucoup de sous titrage manquant en cinématique. Acheté 4 euros sur un site tiers. Ouf , Sans les bugs et les autres soucis le jeu serait vraiment sympa. Dans le même stylé j'ai préféré le rythme de Slavikpunk ainsi que les déplacements du perso & la puissance du jeu Ruiner ainsi que sont gameplay plus technique Mais trés hâte de découvrir NO Law.
Insane atmosphere and sountracks are incredible
