![]() ![]() ![]() If you have the $15-$20 to spare, you really can't go wrong with CLOUDPUNK. You get swept into it, and as a result it never disappoints. The voice acting and soundtrack are mostly top-notch, and the whole game is polished with minimal bugs or glitches. CLOUDPUNK is a low-budget game, sure, but as a result it uses everything at its disposal to immerse you. I was honestly shocked by how much I CARED about the people I met in this game, and how much empathy I had for their struggles. It's crazy to me how a video game with such a simplified graphics style can truly capture the liveliness of an overcrowded city far better than most modern AAA titles.ĭon't get me wrong though, CLOUDPUNK isn't the "next-generation of open-world RPG's", but it is one of the best narrative focused games I've played in a long time, with some seriously memorable characters. Even when you're driving around on highways, the number of vehicles that surround you can be almost overwhelming. CLOUDPUNK excels at making you feel small. The plot doesn’t give you much agency, beyond some side quests and one big decision. When you're on foot, the buildings and crowds engulf you. Cloudpunk is a wonderful game, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to experience this kind of world. Where CLOUDPUNK really shines is in its atmosphere you spend most of your time in the game in a flying car, darting past massive skyscrapers under neon purple-and-pink smog. The dystopian city Rania inhabits is rich with atmosphere and Blade-Runner influences, and you learn more and more about the world and its inhabitants through various strange deliveries and conversations, eventually unravelling a grand 'conspiracy' of sorts. Well that’s the company motto but while delivering the package there is no timer and you can take your time delivering the package. You don’t get to ask what’s in the package and should always deliver them on time. In it, you play as Rania, an illegal delivery driver who works for the "Cloudpunk" corporation. Cloudpunk is an adventure game where you need to explore the city of Nivalis while working for a delivery company. So imagine my surprise when I bump into a YouTube video by an awesome content creator named Curio, about a game called "CLOUDPUNK", a small indie title released in April of this year. I occasionally break the laws of patient gaming to purchase a brand-new product, and as you can probably imagine there's a certain cyberpunk-themed game that recently came out and wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
