Switch Pre-Orders Are Now Live For Cloudpunk, A Futuristic Open World Adventure

I've never played this kind of game... worth a try?

What's up with all the Cyberpunk games lately? Just trying to cash in on the upcoming game of which everyone knows what I'm talking about?

@Zeldafan79 well, yeah. Make a game popular and all other devs want to copy it. See all "Battle royale" games came after Fortnite. Or kart games after MarioKart. etc.

had this on my watchlist, the reviews look good, the game looks good, i guess it's gonna land on my want-list

@Zeldafan79 cyberpunk has never gone. some times there are more games, sometimes less, but it has always been a part of gaming. Sure now it enters one hell of a focus, but generally, Cyberpunk has been a popular subgenre ever since the 1980ies

mamma, can i have Cloudpunk?, no, we are already pre order CYBERPUNK 2077.

This gave me B-hunter vibes. Loved that game..

@valcoholic Yeah, was gonna comment this aswell. Just because the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game is getting a lot of buzz doesn't mean it is the first of its kind. There have been plenty of them for years now.

This one looks interesting. I do often wonder though why NLife always seems to refer to Steam reviews for games already out on PC, but never to professional reviews.

If anyone is interested, this game has a Metacritic score of 73 from 38 PC reviews. Reviews range from 5/10 to 9/10. Sounds like some people really like it and others find it slow and boring. If you like the cyberpunk setting and enjoy a game where the focus is more on the atmosphere and characters than the actual gameplay, then it might be right up your street.

@MajinSoul yes; when Cyberpunk got revealed, I was actually confused as it seemed too close to Deus Ex for me. But it seems to do its own thing, so i'm fine

It generally looks quite good in terms of environments and cars but the character models look terrible.

The 20% off runs until the 28th October. I'll check out a few reviews before buying, but it looks like a lot of game for £15.99.

I'm tempted. Waiting for the reviews.

@BionicDodo interesting point about the atmosphere. I wonder if it would be akin to a mature Sierra's Space Quest type game. Minus the pointing and clicking.

The closest Nintendo-gamers will get to Cyberpunk 2077.. Anyway, i will keep an eye on it!

I liked the demo of this actually. Surprised it's not out yet. Even with 20% off, £15.99 seems a little steep as I wasn't convinced it was much more than a linear narrative story disguised as open world.

Looks promising, if it's any good I'll definitely grab a physical copy.

And signature edition games are doing there signature version with all the bells and whistles.

I bought it - I know it has some issues, but storybased games in a cyberpunk environment usually work for me regardless of gameplay.

@Zeldafan79 But video game development takes too long for anything but the most slapdash Steam asset flip to appear for sale before the game being copied does. If we get a wave of cyberpunk games in 2022 then maybe your claim will be true, but there's no way this wasn't independently conceived.

@BionicDodo Looking at Metacritic reviews can be very informative. I usually look at the average of the critics and the average of the users, and see if there is a discrepancy...if there is a difference, it can be very telling as to why, i.e., it appeals to a certain kind of player.

Eh, I think I'll just wait for Cyberpunk 2077
...

@Lone_Beagle I agree with that for comparing say Steam reviews with Metacritic critic reviews, or IMDb reviews with Metacritic film reviews, but I've pretty much given up on Metacritic user reviews as there's so many 0 and 10 scores and lots of general ranting and reviewing of games on some principal where they clearly haven't actually played it.

The Genshin Impact of Cyberpunk? Lol

@BionicDodo In this specific case, the game has had significant post-launch updates since those reviews. For one, they added an entire first person mode to the walking segments two months after launch so you could actually see the environment details and NPCs up close.

so is this walking hover sim. platfrmer or point click great trailer but no patience for vagueness

Strong Bladerunner vibes here (with a hint of the Altered Carbon series of books)

not much of a gameplay...i-i can't really tell wh-what the heck is even going on lol, i am not gonna get it..i love the asthetic, - like the year and stuff just doesn't look appealing to play for me.

also top comment is right.

It is ok. Basically a stripped down Death Stranding.

It really needed different types of missions. Or some racing side quests. It gets super repetitive after a bit

Point A to Point B... read text. Repeat.

So...where's the game? I mean I like the atmosphere, but if I want a cyberpunk GAME on the Switch, Ghostrunner is out in less than two weeks. And I'm pretty sure Core Decay will have a Switch port too next year. System Shock Remake too, I think.
