    The 10/10 is only for a certain audience.
    It is basically sci-fi short stories on your first night of your new job, in the beautiful, stunning atmosphere of a cyberpunk city.

You are basically told these stories while driving your car from A to B, sometimes with some choices, that's it. If you're able to enjoy delving into this world, while relaxedly driving your hover car through a city in the clouds with a synth-wave soundtrack (maybe just for half an hour after work, like I did) - wonderful. If you are expecting any kind of engaging gameplay loop, stay away, and if you rate it under this aspect, I fully understand all the negative ratings.    … Expand

    Bence cyberpunk dünyasını pixelart grafiklerle bu kadar başarılı yapabilen istenildiğinde TPS istenildiğinde FPS oynanabilen ve Türkçe dil desteği ile birlikte Türkiyedeki oyuncularıda düşünen RPG öğelerini çok güzel işlemiş bir oyun DLC paketide bir o kadar güzel bir oyun.
    Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 不管别人怎么说无聊枯燥，我个人还是非常非常喜欢这款游戏的。作为收藏癖仓鼠系玩家，故事主线外的各种小故事、物品拾取，都很吸引我。喜欢赛博朋克的朋友，我觉得看景都是值得的。当时玩到结局的时候真的是涕泪纵横。很多选择都留下了遗憾，我想以后哪天，我还会再打开这款游戏，重新做一次选择。

    No matter what others say is boring and boring, I personally still like this game very, very much. As a collector‘s hamster player, I am attracted to all kinds of small stories and item pickups outside the main storyline. Friends who like cyberpunk, I think it's worth it to see the scenery. At that time, when I played the ending, I was really in tears. Many choices have left regrets, and I think that one day in the future, I will open the game again and make a new choice.    … Expand

You'll be glad to know that its writing is far far better than those weak attempts.

    Cloudpunk is a story driven game first and foremost, let us get that out of the way. The gameplay itself is fairly linear without much depth. However that is not its focus and certainly not where it excels. Where Cloudpunk shines is in the painting of its dystopian city and the lives of those caught within its merciless corporate driven cogs.

    It does this largely through Rania (the players character) and her pet dog turned car artificial intelligence and their interactions within the world. The many story vignettes are often approached with levity and comedy, however in almost all cases just under that surface there is often commentary on corporate power and pitiless greed. Laughing at a scenario played out was a frequent experience but if you looked a little closer and muse on the same scenario and what it actually would mean for those involved. it often paints a horrifying existential life.

    Its this experience that drives Cloudpunk, its this toe dip into its cyberpunk scenarios where you will find enjoyment and its a testament to the writing on show that its hits home in such an enjoyable way. Fun and thought provoking. If you enjoy story driven games then I highly recommend this.    … Expand

    The world building is done through conversations with both people on the street and 'Control', your handler and the person who sends you jobs.

    The one thing I don't like about this game is the camera while you're on foot. The forced angles almost seem sometimes to be doing their best to disorient you. In your HOVA the camera is locked to behind the vehicle while you're driving about and that's fine (would have like a free camera here as well but it works so that's more of a personal niggle).    … Expand

Not every game needs to be the next AAA shooter. Cloudpunks charm cause not from roaring set pieces and adrenaline pounding gameplay, but from intelligent writing, a chilled, melodic soundtrack, and a pulsing, living city in the sky. Cloudpunks premise, wherein you control a hover-car flying delivery driver in a futuristic mega city, is a phenomenally simple one, and one that could easily grow boring if not for the setting itself. Nivalis is as important a presence as the main character, Rania. An endless metropolis reminiscent of Star Wars' Coruscant or Freddy’s Mega-City, Nivalis is overflowing with character, and oozing with hidden nooks and crannies to investigate. It’s populated with a charmingly varied cast, from aggressive drug lords to futuristic Instagram/Twitch personalities, to a gang that builds children’s play parks as a way of sticking it to the man.

    As Rania, you’ll need to navigate all this, and more, during your first night on the job with Cloudpunk, a semi-legal courier service, going anywhere and delivering anything. You spend most of the game soaring through Nivalis in your HOVA, a hover-car with an on board AI. The HOVA driving mechanics are solid enough to carry the travelling you’re perennially doing without becoming boring in the slightest. From navigating back alleys to soaring down the highways, the HOVA is a joy to pilot and will go down as one of my favourite in-game vehicles of all time. The characters and world of Cloudpunk are enough to keep you coming back for more. Each story is engaging, each new character bringing more soul to Nivalis. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Cloudpunk, and I’m sure you will too.    … Expand

Lo primero que hace una persona al ver este juego es compararlo con Cyberpunk 2077 y es normal, ambos comparten bastantes elementos pero es injusto comparar un triple AAA como Cyberpunk con un indie, aún así veo mucha mas vida en el mundo de Cloudpunk que en toda NightCity.

    It's a decent game. Story is not the oscar winning kind, but characters and voice acting compensates me. Also Camus is love.
    I don't like the blocky kind of graphics, but here it works so good i fell in love with it. Honestly this game could deserve a VR mode.
    I think the creator were able to show something new, and i hope, with Nivalis it will be the same.

    I loved this game and it's story. The gameplay of driving suited me as someone that likes driving irl and in racing games. There was never any dead time in the game, and I was always being fed story beats. The story is somewhat depressing but ends up hopeful. I glimpse into a future that hopefully doesn't come to be.

    I would give it a 9, but the voxel graphics really didn't work for me.

    When you don't have any other games left to play you can play Cloudpunk. With great style, the developers were not able to tell an interesting story. On the other hand, we have a great option for those who want to play something against the background of show or podcast. Which is basically not bad.
