    It falls short of being a pastiche by appealing to a common denominator so low that it doesn't even exist. People don't play games while washing doing the dishes. The gameplay is overshadowed by one too many headbangers.

    Well I honestly don't get what politics have to do with videogames, but well, everything for some drama-news, eh?
    I tested this masterpiece and was so disgusted by the graphics. It is realy anoying that games with a good story don't walk the extra mile and produce some qual. graphics.
    so sad.

    I have to say, when I saw the trailers for this game I went in with high hopes. I have no objection to the retro graphics--there have been some fantastic roguelikes in the genre of late, and one doesn't need to run a game in Unreal to tell a good story. Look no further than FTL: Faster than Light for a first-class example with amazing replay value.

    Talk about a waste of time. This game is extremely boring and not worth the download. I'm not sure why all the other reviewers are talking about SJWs and Twitter, I'm too busy winning to follow all the drama.

    Cute graphics, decent lore, but the game quickly becomes tiresome.

    If it was a little shorter and cheaper (this game should be $6.99) or they revised the pacing I would put it at a 6 or 7. But as it stands I can't recommend a buy, maybe watch part of it on YouTube to see if the pacing and lore is right for YOU.

    What an awful piece of junk game. This was a colossal waste of my time and money.. I haven't played something this terrible since Superman 64. MidBoss is a horrible company, so there's that too.

    This is likely the worst game ever made. It should be pulled off the market and refunds given to all who have had the misfortune to purchase it, along with an apology.

    Absolute trash. The game is poorly designed and isn't fun to play at all. Take the game and the company to the garbage where they belong. I've never been so disappointed in a purchase.

    The devs should have focused on making a game rather than pushing their political views. This game is garbage. This game has no redeeming qualities and I am honestly upset I wasted any time with it.

    Boring. Trite, played-out characters and themes. I played a few hours and wanted to kill myself. I couldn't force myself to slog through it. I LOVED Snatcher, and to see THIS as the game that's allegedly carrying its torch? Awful.

    I love this style of game, but Rom 2064 is absolutely terrible. Comedy falls short, story is boring, and the preachy undertones make it un-enjoyable. If you watch the trailer it highlights the greatest part of this game, which is the fact that they convinced so many people to voice act for this steaming turd that they call entertainment.

    Very Poor Game with lots of glitches and bugs - buyer beware!

    This is a complete amateur hour of fisher-price game design. Terrible gameplay, do not buy. Developer needs to reevaluate their life choices.

    Thinly veiled political message behind a game with uninventive mechanics and horrible story telling. All around weak and boring a very amateurish effort. Plenty of better games around much more deserving of your money.

    Looked cute, but the story was forced and the voice acting was horrible.
    Its a lazy pixel-art game without a base to stand on.

    And being a--holes dosent help your case, just a thought if you are developer.

    Downloaded 2064 when it was free on PS4. I'm a big fan of cyberpunk games. I play a lot of VA-11 HALL-A... which is a point and click game where you play as a bartender. Spent some time playing 2064 and was literally bored out of my mind... almost fell asleep. Uninstalled. Thanks for wasting my time.

I dislike this game because its boring and the story isn't interesting. So this game doesn't have shooting or platforming or RPG elements or any of the many elements most games have today. It is instead a story game which is awesome but the story sucks, the characters aren't likable or memorable, and there is nothing that makes this game unique. Picture Heavy Rain with a horrible story and boring characters-what would you be left with-maybe a walking simulator? Unfortunately this game is even worse due to the fact that it isn't anywhere near as pretty. I finished this whole game because once I start a game I can't put it down till i'm done and finishing this game was a choir. It made me feel the same way Beyond Two Souls, Assassins Creed Unity and Rouge Legacy did-unenjoyable and felt like actual work to play accept Beyond Two Souls looked pretty and had a likable main character and Ac Unity and Rouge Legacy were fun at moments but this game was not. It got to the point where I tried to use the gun that was given to me on Turing and TomCat(your two main NPC's throughout the game's journey) to see if I could get some sort of negative reaction yet I guess I was just threatening to pull the gun not actually doing it. Ehhhh this game was a waste of time-if you're looking for an inexpensive story game just buy ANY of the TellTale games-even the poorly reviewed older ones, and you will have a better experience.… Expand

    Devs are woke communists that are hateful to the point that they only want a select group of people to play this game.

    The art style and it being cyberpunk is good, but I won't support a game made by a far-left hate group.

    After several hours in this pixelated click-and-point world I've finally finished the story. It was a slow-paced drive through a weird world full of L+ freaks and discriminative cyber-furries with only one normal character. You, the player yourself. Wondering why the deuteragonist calls ?self in plural, my eastern block brain couldn't take the amount of propaganda so I failed the "subtle" homophobe test and got the ending number three for you're a bigot, reee!!
    Looking back at this, I laugh and can't believe I was so blind and beat the game and also thought the game was a 7/10 just two years ago.
    This game belongs to oblivion for its blatant propaganda. But at least it was more intriguing than Gone Home (aka "explore your little sister's lesbian frolics") and Tacoma (aka "obese lesbian astronauts solving their relationship"). Gaynor must be proud of you, folks.
    The number on my review is just the number of genders, I give this game a 5/10.    … Expand

    Buggy interface. Boooooooring story. Mostly nice pixel graphics.
    Overall when I saw screens, I thought that this game will be something more point n' clicky. Instead I've got straight forward silly game with really boring narration and story. Not worth money or time.

    Game bleeds wokeness throughout. It's a shame because the story/voice acting is good. I'm not sure if the port is just meh, but there's extreme input lag for password sections or even to type your name in the beginning.

    Bugs aside, I had a killer time with 2064. Although series like Phoenix Wright and Danganronpa have successfully reinvented the Japanese-style adventure game for the 21st century, there's a certain allure to the mysterious world of menu-driven microcomputer adventures of decades past. 2064 not only successfully simulates that feeling, it welcomes players of all backgrounds and orientations with open arms. 2064's future is one that belongs to all of us.

    2064: Read Only Memories presents an interesting, if not predictable, narrative that is propelled by its strong cast of characters and excellent world-building. It’s refreshing to see a developer put so much care into creating a cast as diverse and interesting as this.

    I alternated between enjoyment and stretches of indifference. I am genuinely glad, though, that we have this addition to our growing Western library of visual novel hybrids (!).
