It made me want Cyberpunk 2077 even more to see a game like that with more graphical detail, but it’s also good without that context.Ĭloudpunk is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. If you can only play on console, maybe keep an eye on patches.
#CLOUDPUNK GENRE FULL#
Outside of the technical issues, I would give Cloudpunk a full recommendation. Given how much I liked exploring the city, the story just needed to be inoffensive to get me to want to progress. Some of the characters, especially Rania, did a better job of carrying the story than the actual premise.

The story is mostly basic as far as dystopian sci-fi goes. The futuristic aspects never stopped being cool in my 10-12 hours with the game. I felt like a tourist in a fancy city taking in all the sights and sounds, even if it is a dystopian future. There are nightclubs, restaurants, banks, street food stands, security checkpoints, train lines, a highway system. You’ll hear ads that talk to you like something out of Minority Report. There are open-air pedways thousands of feet in the sky that go from building to building. A lift will take you from one section to another. That’s when you get to see the neighborhoods and see how all the areas connect. The driving controls were good enough after I got a hang of the 3D nature of it, but I started to look forward to the on-foot sections so I could take in the design of the city.

Despite the numerous low-res visual aspects, there was so much detail in the architectural design of the city. The stress-free nature of the gameplay let me take in the detail of the world.
#CLOUDPUNK GENRE PATCH#
The safest solution would be to wait until they can patch a fix to the save bug.ĭespite my constant fear that the game would break at any moment (the bug happened a second time, but I was able to quit the game immediately before it autosaved), I wanted to keep living in that world. The game doesn’t allow for multiple save files so you have to be resourceful on that front. I do think this game is worth playing on console, but it’s worth backing up your saves in the cloud or on USB storage if possible.
#CLOUDPUNK GENRE PC#
The game will look and run better on PC so if you have the option, that’s the place to play this game. There were enough bugs that the developers of the console ports posted an apology tweet.Ĭloudpunk came out on PC in April and released on October 15 on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4. That blocked progress, but I was able to use an old save, which cost me about 20-30 minutes of progress. I encountered a weird bug that apparently isn’t all that rare where the dialogue reverted back to the start and kept running sequentially without me doing anything. However, the technical issues didn’t stop there. Screenshot: CloudpunkĬonsidering all that, the load times and consistent hitches in the few seconds after the game loads in are understandable. It’s an indie game with an impressively big, fully three-dimensional city. It wasn’t a deal breaker, but the frequent pop-in of various buildings as you drive was a bit jarring. The draw distance on my launch PlayStation 4 wasn’t great. That said, while you won’t notice the blocky design from a distance, you also won’t see a ton of buildings at once. When you’re driving around you notice this less from a distance. It looks a bit better than Minecraft, but almost everything is blocky. One of the game’s concessions in terms of memory management and development budget is a blocky style to everything in the world. The voice acting is carrying a lot of weight because the characters look like something you’d see in Minecraft or a Lego game. Most of the cast is very good, especially the performance of Andrea Petrille as Rania. The story progresses through voice-acted dialogue. Solve puzzles to break a curse in Ben 10 Power Trip.The gameplay is simple, stress-free and enjoyable. Play as Jojo Siwa, Spongebob, or even choose between Aang or Korra from Avatar the Last Airbender in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix!. Try your hand at a Mario Battle Royale in Super Mario Bros 35. Are you hyped to jump around, smashing crates in Crash Bandicoot 4, or how about piloting a space ship in Star Wars Squadrons? Maybe you're pumped and ready for Fall Guys Season 2! Whatever you're into, I'm sure there's something on this list of games that you're gonna want to get your hands on!
