4/5 ★ – theebigbamtheory's review of Cloudpunk.

Damn, I really enjoyed this. I've always wanted a open world game with a rideable flying car, and this pretty much fits the bill, and some more. For starters, controlling the flying car feels very, very good. And you can upgrade them too! It's very fun to drive and weave around this city. I think the best thing about this game is that it keeps getting bigger in small ways, and it always surprises me when it does so. Like when I found out that I can buy clothes and wear them. It's not much on it's own, but it's very appreciated. The story is very scattered, and while it doesn't really have a big thing to tie it all together, it does lead to a variety of great moments with a bunch of characters, and it's this variety that makes the game so engaging for me. From talking with random people on the city (my favorite one has to be these android gang members that are terrorizing the corporate overlords by making kids playgrounds in unused land), to the characters in the main missions, it is all interesting and it keeps you on your toes. Having a great main character here is a big bonus, especially since her witty personality matches so well in dealing with strangers. They also nailed the atmosphere and feel of this city. Now with the latest PS4 patch, there are no more graphical glitches in the rain effect, and boy the city looks so good. The music helps a lot as well, it's a bunch of really good synthwave tunes. The things that annoyed me were the annoying repeated quest glitch, and the map that can be unhelpful at times. I definitely would revisit this game again, especially if the PS4 version gets the cockpit view update. For now, I'm just gonna call it off for the night, it's been a long one.
