    A must-have for all cyberpunk, detective RPG games. To avoid confusion it is not as good in writing as Disco Elysium but the game offers real narrative storytelling and a real variety of true choices and consequences.

    It's a different game. It's a very interesting detective game in a very interesting setting. It immersed me deeply in the lore. Also, the art is really beautiful. The only con I see is the game time, if you don't take your time to read the lore you could easily finish the game in 10 hours.

    Awesome RPG, great dialogs, super graphic and extra satisfying quests requiring moral choices. I'm from Poland, "Gamedec" book series is my favorite. Im really happy that more people all around the world will be able to read and play game based on "Gamedec" stories. Great job Anshar Studios and Marcin Przybyłek!

    It is a very good RPG. I was waiting for this game since first demo, that was dropped in steam. After full walktrough i must say that its a solid 8, but only because of 2 reasons. First one is length. This story is pretty short (i will not go to spoilers), and the second is endings. They're kinda empty, because whatever you get, you will only see what decisions you made trough the game. soIt is a very good RPG.

    I've always wanted a detective game this detailed. The game looks extremely beautiful with every detail, I wish the game time was longer.

    Thoughtful, interesting, and well crafted cyberpunk detective stories. A great game and different from most of them out there, if you enjoyed Disco Elysium you'll probably like this as well, it's different but in a similar theme. 8/10. Well worth it.

    If you like detective games and you like cyberpunk settings, this is a must-have. It's like playing a Frogwares Sherlock Holmes game in the Bladerunner/Cyberpunk universe. The gameplay and story and setting are all spectacular.

    Gamedec me recuerda mucho a Disco Elysium con su mezcla de rol, juego de decisiones e investigación. Aunque en este caso, la historia tiene que ver con videojuegos, mundos virtuales y esas cosas, en lugar de asesinatos políticos.

Aunque en este caso, la historia tiene que ver con videojuegos, mundos virtuales y esas cosas, en lugar de asesinatos políticos. Personalmente creo que es una muy buena historia que, además, está contada de un modo muy interesante al permitirte jugar e interaccionar con los distintos juegos y sus distintas mecánicas. Aunque, ocasionalmente, el juego no toma en cuenta correctamente las decisiones que has tomado en algunos puntos, y el final que obtienes depende de una serie de decisiones que no tienen aparentemente relación con el final, de modo que llegas a un desenlace u otro según una serie de opciones que has tomado sin saber que eran requisitos para las decisiones que querías tomar. El sistema de desarrollo del personaje se queda un pelín escaso para mi gusto, pero a cambio las opciones de habilidades que hay sí que se sienten como que impactan de lleno en la jugabilidad y la historia, lo cual es importante.

    Gráficamente el juego está bastante bien, con una estética muy variada y bien recreada para cada uno de sus entornos y personajes. El sonido también está bastante bien, aunque le falta doblaje de las voces. Quitando los errores de guión mencionados antes, solo un par de veces me encontré con bugs, pero es cierto que los controles con el teclado no responden todo lo bien que deberían.

    El resultado de todo ello es, sin duda, un juego que vale mucho la pena. Un 8.    … Expand

    Such a pretty game! Nice to play but with a bit lack of depth. Simple and very pleasing.

    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.
