    I'm amazed people hate this. guess everybody really looks for different things in games, although to be fair, I've never played it on other platforms. I'm also not a huge modern platform gamer, so I'm not upset about those comparisons. I have the OLED, and I actually got old-guy reading glasses because so many ports are way too small to see on the base screen.

    On the game, I mostly play at night winding down. Maybe with a bit of legal-state recreational assistance, if you know what I mean. Flying a space car, decent background music, dog, linear-ish story, not getting killed and needing to learn difficult mechanics, etc. I'm just bummed because I know the story isn't super long, and with the reviews, I'm assuming the City of Ghosts won't make it over, much less future stories.

    Cloudpunk is the kind of game that places importance on narrative over gameplay and one that will feel considerably better on different platforms. It offers a memorable narrative with some great characters to meet along the way, and it’s admirable just how invested one can get in them considering their existence starts and stops (in most cases) with an on-screen character portrait and a voice-over. The city is vast and beautifully designed using voxel art, though players on Switch won’t bask in as much of its visual splendor. However, it’s also a game in which the narrative trumps all, even gameplay, with the only player interaction coming in the form of somewhat superficial vehicle sections and the odd on-foot segment. It’s a relatively short ride and well worth taking, as long as one’s expectations are dialed in correctly from the outset.

    You'll likely be able to finish Cloudpunk without running into any game-breaking bugs, but the question is whether you'll want to. Fans of the cyberpunk genre may enjoy running and flying about for a while, but you'd be forgiven for abandoning ship before long.

    Since I have picked up this title and I have found it extremely hard to put down. I have even found myself removing my switch from its comfy home on the dock and taking the adventure with me to work. If you are looking for a mid-tier priced game at $24.99 that has a great atmosphere and offers several hours of gameplay, look no further.
