Rania has a cool delivery of her dialogue where you can almost see (in your mind) the facial expression she is making when talking. It seems the bigger characters got better actors while some of the secondary NPC’s were voiced by the guys in accounting.
The music and sound effects are awesome and the voice acting ranges from good to average.
After returning the part to the mechanic I spoke with him again and it tried to reset that same mission only none of the objectives reset so I couldn’t redo the mission and had that delivery on my mission list until the end of the game – very annoying. I also discovered a glitched mission – the one with the racer I mentioned earlier. This totally ruins the momentum of the game since most missions having you traveling across multiple sectors. Every time you enter a transport tube to a new sector there is a black loading screen with a bar that shoots to 20% then sits there for 40+ seconds before jumping to 90% for another 10-20 seconds before loading. There is a lot of stuttering in the game, especially when driving that seems triggered by any voice communication, almost as if the game can’t load the graphics and the sound simultaneously, and finally the load times.
#Cloudpunk review Ps4#
The PS4 version has a very limited draw distance with a thick fog that obscures most of the horizon, plus the bustling Fifth Element traffic of the PC is now reduced to 3-5 cars making the freeway tubes look abandoned. Having played the game on a powerful PC I know how good Cloudpunk can look, and if you have the option of PC versus console I encourage you to go with PC.

This detail does come at a cost though and that is where the PS4 (even the Pro version) stumbles during the presentation. By default exploring the world on foot is played from a distant external view that makes moving around a bit clumsy but now you can switch to an over-the-shoulder camera or even a first-person view that makes the game infinitely more fun to play and lets you appreciate the unique art style used to create this game.Ĭloudpunk is a 3D pixel art game and when viewed up close you can really see how the entire world and its inhabitants are created from tiny cubes yet retain impressive amounts of detail. You’ll spend almost as much time walking around as you will flying, and the PS4 version of Cloudpunk thankfully has all the latest updates that the PC has been receiving these past few month. Your interactions with many of these characters can often lead to side missions and the discovery of hidden locations and additional story content. You can choose to either return the part or sell it and keep the cash.Įven though the game takes place over the course of a single night you will meet a lot of people, all fully voice acted with unique portraits in the com window. In one early mission you deliver a car part to a street racer and are told to return the defective part to the garage as partial payment for the new part. The game even allows for a bit of story branching when it presents you with choices in the form of delivery destinations. Hackers, a rogue AI and even a big corporate conspiracy will come into play as you work the nightshift in the massive metropolis, Nivalis. There is a pretty interesting story cooking behind the scenes that slowly gets revealed as you progress through the main delivery missions. There are also numerous collectibles scattered about the world waiting to be found. The core loop of the game is completing the various delivery tasks given to you by your boss via the video coms on your dashboard, but there is still plenty of time to visit and decorate your apartment, grab a cup of coffee, check out a nightclub, grab some sushi, or purchase some illicit drugs. Perhaps the biggest feature of Cloudpunk is the city itself, sprawling into numerous sectors and spanning more than a thousand vertical miles, which means plenty of real estate for you to explore both on foot and while driving around. Things start off simple enough as you pick-up a few packages and deliver them to their destination, but the more deliveries you make and the more people you meet the more your world is about to get turned upside down. Set in a sprawling futuristic cityscape, Cloudpunk has you playing as Rania, a woman with a mysterious past who is just starting her first shift driving for Cloudpunk, a no-questions-asked delivery service.
