![]() ![]() Lastly, there was one pretty subtle addition, but there was a section where you were playing using the “old school” Resident Evil camera angle. ![]() Even the newly introduced character named Hayes is playable for multiple missions. Your trusty companion Camus the dog, is a player character in multiple missions which adds more depth to the game. ![]() Another big addition to the game is the fact that you can finally control other characters now. You get prize money for winning, but you do need to upgrade your HOVA to stay competitive. There is one type of mission where you do some races using your HOVA. Although these missions simply work like traditional sidequests just like within the base game. The main feature is that multiple new characters are available for side-missions scattered throughout the city. If you would like to check out my review of Cloudpunk, click here REVIEW: Cloudpunk! I will strictly only talk about what the DLC offers. I reviewed the base game a couple of months ago, and I will have to mention that the gameplay mechanics barely changed. Give Cloudpunk a try if you want something different.New characters, new missions and the beautiful lights of Nivalis… Gameplay I found Rania and Control very likeable whilst Camus was hilariously written. I found Cloudpunk most enjoyable in moderate doses as it can get repetitive, but the character development is quite compelling. In summary, Cloudpunk might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was a cup of tea I really enjoyed and it tasted different from the usual AAA crap. Overall, driving is very enjoyable but could be improved with better handling and collision detection. This is quite a lazy mechanic that belongs in a Ubisoft game. When I returned these memories I was asked to collect 20 more, and 20 more after that before I gave up. What I really didn't like was a mission that involved collecting 20 memories. What I liked was that there wasn't long distances to walk, as walking gets tedious quickly. I found myself hearing collision sounds despite being well away from objects or vehicles. The car can be a bit 'slippery' to control and collision detection isn't great. You either drive or walk, with driving being a very enjoyable experience as you can fly with quite a bit of freedom. The simplistic gameplay serves Cloudpunk well. Elaborating further would risk spoiling the story so I'll stop, but the lack of impact of decisions and anti-climactic ending marred my experience somewhat. what this does mean is there is some replay value. A second playthrough would probably illuminate this for me but I have other games in my backlog to tend to. A key mechanic seems to be the choices you can make throughout the game, and while these are interesting, I didn't notice how much of an impact these choices made. A handful of characters are consistent throughout the game and become very memorable despite never seeing more than a thumbnail picture of them. Quite an unremarkable premise, however it's the character development that is most remarkable about this game. Cloudpunk is an illegal delivery company and you are working your first shift for them. The story of Cloudpunk is the bread and butter of the game. A smoother framerate would have brought the game closer to five stars. The main issue I had with the graphics was the framerate drops, especially when transitioning between areas. I noticed that there is a lot of pop-in when driving around and this causes issues when driving at higher speeds. Despite this, I found the graphics mesmerising due to the omnipresent neon lights. Graphically, Cloudpunk is immediately different not modern AAA standards but instead a retro and pixellated graphics system that is actually quite befitting of the cyberpunk theme. However it couldn't be more different in every other aspect and deserves recognition. However it couldn't be more different in Cloudpunk has the misfortune of being close to Cyberpunk 2077 both in the cyberpunk themes and name.
