Gamedec Reviews
For such an indie endeavour, Anshar Studios have created a cracker of an RPG adventure. While not perfect and restricted by things a Triple-A title might be able to access readily, ‘Gamedec’ had me logging in to the system over and over again to delve into this not-so-distant future where crimes online may affect reality.
Although it has flaws in its execution, Gamedec is a recommendable title. The plethora of information available to the player can sometimes be annoying, but it's undeniable that solving cases and solving mysteries is fun. Fans of games with an emphasis on storytelling and freedom of choice will feel right at home, and cyberpunk-themed enthusiasts will also find entertainment — if expectations are properly balanced.

Cyberpunk futuristic world created on the basis of Marcin Przybyłek's novel. An interesting experience not only for fans of his books, but for every lover of the aforementioned climates. Vulgar humor and dark atmosphere, however, can be difficult for many players to swallow.

Gamedec is a decent game that will certainly appeal to people who like to influence the plot. The detective created by us has to deal with a really interesting case and if it were not for the elements at which you can feel budget, the final rating would certainly be higher.

Give Gamedec a chance if you want to experience something different in the isometric RPG genre. We got an original cyberpunk creation, a well constructed experiment that may not look or sound the best but allows you to become a detective spending his time conducting investigations inside videogames. And that's cool.

While perhaps they are'nt for everyone, I do find that a cool cyberpunk experience, exploring more digitally dialed-in worlds, can make for a good time...
All in all, "Thriller Ranger" is a qualified detective game, the creation of the world view to the design of the case is unique. However, its design in some details also led to limited gameplay, perhaps only the ultimate detective game enthusiasts can get to the unique rhythm of the game.

Gamedec is very much focused on its setting, story and investigation-based gameplay, which are for the most part properly executed.

Sadly, this is a game that doesn’t quite stick the landing, despite having a stellar concept. There’s plenty of ambition on display here, and I commend that fact. Decisions are poignant and permanent, and seeing all the different places available to go is a treat. Seeing some of the tropes of other game genres mixed in was also a nice touch. One of the highlights was picking produce from my garden in that wild west farming game. Pop culture commentary. Gets me every time. However, the numerous negatives I’ve highlighted throughout this review does make for a tough recommendation.
Gamedec is an interesting adventure game that won't appeal to anyone looking for action-based antics. It's just not that type of game. It's also quite text-heavy, so if this doesn't appeal, then Gamedec won't change your opinion. That said, if you like role-playing various rogues or being mister nice guy then this is worth checking out. It's also pretty decent value for money.
Overall, Gamedec delivers on its premise. It's a fun and intriguing story with plenty of choices to make and cases to solve. It never gets remarkably deep in lore, world-building, or character development, but it pulls off the decision-driven storytelling quite well. The limited scope hurts the experience, though. Environment maps can be small and feel on rails even when they're not, and some cut corners distract from what is a thoroughly entertaining narrative experience.
If you are looking for a dialogue-heavy RPG like Disco Elysim, but one that is easier to read and comprehend, you've come to the right place.

GameDec is a point-and-click cyberpunk adventure set in a dystopian world, You make a living by discreetly investigating crimes, mysteries, and transgressions in the vast sea of alternate realities to which most humans retreat. It provides a fun mechanic for dialogue junkies who find joy in solving the big puzzle.
Gamedec is a cyberpunk RPG driven by its story and decisions. There's no combat, just you using your crime-solving skills to progress. Every choice you make carries weight.
GameDec does right by the cyberpunk genre by using it as a backdrop to an excellent detective story. The series of virtual worlds makes for a diverse range of environments, filled with characters that all have their own unique characteristics and motivations. The lack of a fail state raises the stakes, and makes it important to learn the ins and outs of dialogue and deduction. Though some bugs and missing functionality can make it rough around the edges, GameDec is still an overall quite enjoyable experience.
amedec was a nice surprise: a cyberpunk detective story with a progression system that rewards intuition and perseverance without holding the player's hand. The dense network of questions and answers, together with the different endings available, guarantees robust replayability.

Gamedec is an interesting and constantly evolving cyberpunk RPG.
Gamedec is a fantastic point and click detective game that is only held back by small, fixable quality of life and balancing issues.
Gamedec is ambitious and fun for the adventure game fan who is willing to put up with some issues. I like the variety of the cases and the way the main character has options when it comes to dealing with NPCs. I enjoyed the mysteries, despite the sometimes convoluted way that leads to an answer. The future it envisions is also a pretty plausible and weird one.
Underneath its flaws, Gamedec is a truly unique game that I could spend 30 more hours in.
