  • Summary: Gamedec is an adaptive cyberpunk RPG. As a private detective, it's your job to solve crimes inside virtual worlds. What decisions will you make in a world where child slavery is a F2P game, where murder over a game-clan dispute is an every-day reality? Who will you become in the XXII century?

    Here’s a proof that it’s possible to create an engaging game based mainly on dialogues (comparisons to Disco Elysium work in Gamedec’s favor, but there’s a lot less text to read here). Gamedec’s world is original and immersive, the investigations are interesting, the detective’s unique skill system works great and the deduction mechanic is brilliant. [11/2021, p.54]

    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.

    There’s a lot in Gamedec that’s praiseworthy. I love how the game constantly evolves based on decisions made throughout it, and the story itself developed into something truly memorable as it progressed. Those who want to play an engaging cyberpunk sci-fi RPG with an emphasis on decision-making may very well want to try Gamedec out, especially now that it is updated and more polished.

    Gamedec is a good and ingenious crpg. Unfortunately, despite being also a good cyberpunk detective story, there are sequences that feel underdeveloped and unpolished.

    Gamedec is a fascinating detective RPG where even a bad call can lead to interesting outcomes. The setting is very original, a blend of our reality and a virtual world. But the story loses its breath somewhere along the way which is a real shame.

    Gamedec’s modest skill tree not only feels tacked on – it actively hampers the role-playing aspect, because certain dialogue options reward you with leveling points, and others don’t. So there’s a strong incentive to just sift through dialogue looking for those special options, instead of doing what feels natural for the character. [Issue#256, p.52]

    Even with some refreshing concepts related to investigations, Gamedec stumbles owing to uninteresting plot points, bland characterization, unclear systems, and pesky bugs.

    Das Konzept ist wirklich klasse!

    Man ist in dem Spiel als Spieledetektiv tätig und taucht in die virtuellen Welten der einzelnen Games ein in denen man dann ermittelt, aber auch das Spiel spielt in dem man sich befindet. Gerade diese Möglichkeit bzw. Mischung macht den Charme des Spiels aus, einfach echt überlegt und umgesetzt!

    Nach dem All-Language Patch endlich auch komplett problemlos spielbar!

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. so that was kinda disappointing.. 8/10 and its well deserved with awesome dialogues, Easter eggs, and characters Expand

    Forte fator replay devido as multiplas escolhas oferecidas pelo jogo.
    Nos momentos de hack poderia haver uma variação para minigame ao invés de se manter em escolhas por diálogo, acabou se tornando uma feature de dedução ou chute.
    Bons Gráficos, porém simples, se utiliza a iluminação muito bem e ótima arte no que tange a UI.
    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.

    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 impactThis 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

Игра его ощущает только при пропуске начальных заставок. Но уже начиная с меню работает только мышь и клавиатура. Игра геймпад от Xbox для ПК вообще игнорирует. Увы. Потому и оценка 0 баллов. Как только будет это исправлено, изменю оценку. В 2021 году выпускать игру без нормальной поддержки контроллеров просто недоразумение. Хотя еще в Сентябре обещали ее сделать. Видимо не сделали. Версия игры последняя. Expand
