    This actually has a really good potential to become a wonderful game if it wasn't so badly executed The choices you make barely have an impact on the overall progress and ending. The puzzles were more annoying than actually interesting. The skill tree could be something great if it had more Perks . The story is a bit of a mess with a pretty great introduction of the world at the startThis actually has a really good potential to become a wonderful game if it wasn't so badly executed The choices you make barely have an impact on the overall progress and ending. The puzzles were more annoying than actually interesting. The skill tree could be something great if it had more Perks . The story is a bit of a mess with a pretty great introduction of the world at the start which loses its charm after you reach the third virtual world. I hope that maybe someday the developers will make a second gamedec game which will be more polished with more features and an improvement on the script. Wasted potential right here.… Expand

    The game is mediocre, the story is cliche and the gameplay fairly stale. There are a few good ideas in the mix, but overall it feels unfinished/unpolished.
    It's more akin to a point and click adventure than a RPG, the dialogue options don't feel organic at all and many of the "professions" are barely useful.
    The ending was trash and extremely disappointing

    I am enjoying and did find it quite similar to Disco Elysium, that is how I got to find it. It is a bit lacking in the presentation department, cool moments should be more emphasized, but they are there, so for me this is a great experience. The deduction system could do with a complete overhaul, the way it is it makes me feel I'm missing out and doing wrong choices when in fact this gameI am enjoying and did find it quite similar to Disco Elysium, that is how I got to find it.

    Forte fator replay devido as multiplas escolhas oferecidas pelo jogo.

    Trilha sonora esquecível, não cria uma boa atmosfera para, principalmente, os momentos mais tensos.
    Boa Dublagem, porém aparece muito pouco.
    História bem contada, em cada cenário o jogo instiga e envolve o jogador para conhecer os personagens e suas respectivas tramas.
    Personagens pouco explorados, mostrados de uma forma corrida.

    Gamedec é um bom experimento, boas ideias, vale a experiência para os fãs de um jogo rico em História.    … Expand

    It’s a shame there isn’t more opportunity to explore the world at large, but Gamedec is a rewarding and immersive role-playing adventure that offers a satisfying amount of player agency in the direction of this cyberpunk detective mystery.

    Gamedec is ambitious and fun for the adventure game fan who is willing to put up with some issues. I like the variety of the cases and the way the main character has options when it comes to dealing with NPCs. I enjoyed the mysteries, despite the sometimes convoluted way that leads to an answer. The future it envisions is also a pretty plausible and weird one. I wanted the developer to have the resources to deliver the amount and quality of writing to match their ambitious universe. But for players looking for a smart cyberpunk narrative and willing to overlook some problems, Gamedec is a good way to spend 10 or so hours.

    Pretty much all the pieces for a good detective game are there, but Gamedec fails for a variety of reasons. Apart from an unhelpful, tutorial-esque chapter that confuses more than it helps, and a UI that makes simple things harder, the writing is extremely boring, ruining the incentive to keep on sleuthing, as it is hard to care about anything, or even remember what is actually going on. Bad writing isn't just a small thing here, either, with almost 90% of the experience revolving around reading text.
