Cloudpunk Reviews
Cloudpunk was a stunningly unique visual looking voxel title and with the new additions, it’s even more stunning and immersive. While it may be the visuals that bring you forth, it’s the gameplay that will get you to stay, if you allow yourself to be immersed in its relaxed gameplay style, interesting world and quirky inhabitants.
Cloudpunk doesn't do anything new or innovative but all of the things that it does is done with such proficiency that makes the whole package a very enjoyable experience.

Even when taking the game's minor foibles into account, Cloudpunk provides a brief journey into a deceptively fascinating city in the clouds. Rushing through the story means avoiding the game's best bits, because Nicalis' real stars are its residents. Now that a patch has addressed the major bug that blocked progression, there's little reason not to recommend a foray into the dark world of this futuristic dystopia.
The appearence in Cloudpunk is enogh to recommend it to fans who are interested in cyberpunk. There are plenty of metaphoric and philosophical stories within, but the gameplay is not that attractive.

Props to the small team for really doing a whole lot with a little graphically. The rain never seems to let up, and the neon glow of the noodle stands shimmer on the trash-strewn alleys, and the smoky canyons between the seemingly-endless skyscrapers adds a feeling of vastness to the city. Really though, when you get down to it, Cloudpunk seems more like a straightforward interactive novel than it does a really fleshed-out game. It takes the first part of the 'go anywhere, do anything' sandbox model and does it very well. It just doesn't really deliver on the 'do anything' part all that well.
Cloudpunk has its share of problems with pacing and collectibles. However, the game still offers an interesting story, great driving and viscous cyberpunk atmosphere.

Sadly, the traffic on the skyways and the moments when the NPCs are affected by amnesia will break the spell and yank you out of the immersion. But there is nothing a patch could not fix, restoring Cloudpunk to a hidden gem worth experiencing by everyone.
Cloudpunk is a neon-doused celebration of cyberpunk style that occasionally obscures the story it wants to tell.
When you don't have any other games left to play you can play Cloudpunk. With great style, the developers were not able to tell an interesting story. On the other hand, we have a great option for those who want to play something against the background of show or podcast. Which is basically not bad.

Cloupunk is visually stunning and has a interesting cast, telling us some good stories. It has some issues, though, when it comes to interactions and exploration. But if you're into Cyberpunk genre, you will probably find exaclty what you wanted.

Although marred by poor acting and inconsistent writing, Cloudpunk is visually and audibly impressive. Take things slow and you'll get the best experience out of it.
Cloudpunk reaches higher and achieves more than I thought it would, barely missing a spot among the giants of its genre.
All said and done, Cloudpunk is a respectable game that deserves our attention, and its atmosphere needs to be taken in and enjoyed. Cloudpunk will never annoy you, but does anything it can so that you can be free, enjoy the experience, and get entertained

Cloudpunk looks like an ambitious project that needed rounding-off before it could be fully realised. However, as it stands you’ll find an interesting cyberpunk-themed story to play through, and then there’s the amazing city to just fly around. Toss-in some awesome music and it’s almost worth recommending the game just for these two aspects alone.
With its tantalising world, epic soundtrack, and relaxing gameplay, Cloudpunk has the recipe to be a pretty special experience – it’s just a shame that it’s also riddled with bugs. I’m sure Cloudpunk’s gameplay won’t be for everyone, but I really enjoyed soaring through its cyberpunk world. There’s something genuinely relaxing about it, whilst the intriguing stories interwoven across the city through its colourful cast of characters means there’s always something to invest yourself in along the way. Did I mention that Nivalis itself is beautiful too? It’s always a plus. As it stands though, it’s hard not to be disappointed by the stuttering frame rate and the odd glitches with the quests repeating – it could be argued that the draw distance isn’t quite as impressive as on the PC version of the game either, but that’s neither here nor there. Whilst Cloudpunk is certainly an enjoyable game right now on consoles, it needs a few fixes before it will be able to fully live up to the potential that’s clearly there.
Just thinking back on the time spent flying around the skies of Nirvalis in my HOVA is getting me all relaxed, and for that feeling alone Cloudpunk is a worthy purchase. If you have a PC I’d definitely recommend that version over any console port purely for the draw distance (it seriously makes a difference), but if that’s not an option for you just go ahead and snag it where possible.
You largely get what it says on the box, but Cloudpunk would have benefited from more compelling gameplay and a more focused story. It's not that it's badly designed or horribly written, it just doesn't quite reach the clouds.
An amazing looking game with an interesting premise, let down by shallow gameplay and stuttered flow of story and dialogue
In the gameplay department, Cloudpunk simulates the boredom of a minimum wage job a little too well. Looking back, I'm happy to have played Cloudpunk, but I never want to sit through it again.
Cloudpunk is a title that puts all its efforts into its history, neglecting everything else. the narrative is worth it, since what counts is interesting and different, but if the gameplay had been enhanced in any way, the end result would be much more satisfactory.
