Gamedec Reviews
Investigate gamers within games, inside a game.
Gamedec is an immersive and intriguing isometric RPG that uses its concept and setting to great effect. There are some small bugs and the story gets a bit dense, but none of this should stop you from trying Gamedec out.
Overall, Gamedec is an excellent attempt to do the impossible. Tabletop games are as popular as they are today because they can't be replicated anywhere else, but Gamedec comes as close as possible to making it a reality. I felt like my choices truly mattered, and that's not something that happens often in games. While some of the virtualias can feel a bit tedious, the overall narrative they serve makes the experience worth it.
Gamedec isn’t quite a masterpiece, but it’s a clever and noble attempt to do a non-combat RPG. The cyberpunk and noir themes will never get old, and the complex decision trees invite multiple play-throughs and approaches to the mystery. It’s certainly a game that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Gamedec is a decision-based roleplaying game that spans both reality and the virtual world. Detective work is complicated enough in just one dimension, can players really be expected to navigate multiple worlds to crack the case? More importantly, is it even worth the effort?
It's a refreshing, original take on the cyberpunk genre, but in a game that relies so much on conversation, Gamedec's jargon-y dialogue soon becomes a confusing mess.
If all you want to do is talk about man made horrors beyond your comprehension, then boy, do I have the game for you!
