    "Screen tearing - The Video Game"

    Runs very poorly on PS4 Pro. The framerate barely reach 30fps and there is absolutely no Vsync, which means there is non-stop annoying tearing while you play. On the other hand, the game seems really nice. With its Blade Runner / Fifth Element atmosphere, a really nice Synthwave soundtrack, and a slow paced gameplay - perfect after a hard day of    "Screen tearing - The Video Game"

    Unless you really don't care about those technical issues, I will suggest to wait for a patch before considering buying or playing it.

    10/31/20 edit : The last patch finaly adds a Vsync, so no more screen-tearing issue. However, the framerate while dirving the Hova seems now very low (around 20 fps I would say). Fortunatly it's fine when you're on feet, and even with a lower framerate on driving sequences, the game is now way more playable. My actual score do not represents the game itself (I only have a couple hours and it's pretty good so far), but with all those technical issues, I can't go higher for the moment.    … Expand

The fun of this one lies in learning about the city and its inhabitants. This is a game that feels like your playing a low budget movie but it has a certain charm to it. Definitely for the game who like slow pace, low action, story and relaxing with a game. Pick this one up when it goes on sale.… Expand

    There were parts of Cloudpunk I enjoyed: the voice acting and the cyberpunk aesthetic. However, the core gameplay loop of being a delivery driver never resonated with me. If you like Bladerunner or cyberpunk-esque settings, I'd recommend this one but only at a decent price.

    Cloudpunk started off unique and interesting; you’re new to its world and are exploring it alongside the main character, Rania. Eventually, you’ll realize it’s only a cyberpunk delivery simulator with cringey voice acting and an even worse script. By that point, the game loses any redeemable qualities and becomes a burden to play. Just like the main character, and the mechanics, the game has little to no substance to offer.

    It’s surprisingly touching, and the way the tension slowly ramps up makes for a really interesting experience. Interesting enough to make up for all the ways Cloudpunk is lacking, though? Your mileage on that will obviously vary. For me, it was, if only barely. There’s some engaging stuff going on here, but you need to dig through some pretty iffy stuff to get there.

    Regarding this catastrophic failure of infrastructure, a wearying, cynical malaise of ‘Eh, what can you do about it?’ pervades Rania’s early forays into the city and proves just a little too real for us. The game’s own answer to this question is ‘carry out individual acts of kindness’, as with each one Rania makes Nivalis a slightly less miserable place for at least one person she encounters on her rounds – and sometimes that’s enough.
