Love it
First of all: I'm not much of a cyberpunk fan. I enjoy the setting once in a while, but I don't share the passion for it that other people have. So my opinion is mostly based from a point and click players point of view. For what it's worth, I DO like the setting. The main characters come from different social environment. One has all the goods, another one lives basically in a garbage can and mostly only has old outdated tech available (which she prefers anyway) and she brings along a good amount of cynism. She tries a little too hard to make sure, the player knows she is a notorious drunk, but that's just a minor detail. Gameplaywise it can compete with the better games from the past, it's as old fashioned as they come. It also shares some of their weaknesses (different forms of "can't do this right now"). The hot spots are big enough and can also be highlighted. I was a bit fed up by all these games in pixel look, but in Born Punk's case it fits. I had to get used for the mousewheel having two functions, one direction brings up the inventory, the other one a datapad where you can find more background information, unlocked by examining certain items in the world. Most of the time the puzzles so far are not all too difficult, in some cases there are multiple ways to solve them. You should not get stuck for all too long and lose the pace. The characters are believable, including the voice acting. And there really is a lot of it. Some bystanders don't have much to say, but the more important characters talk about stuff that's not always plot related, deliver more background info. In my opinion the datapad was not the best way to describe the world they live in, but it's does it's job. And of course there are some hommages to the classics, like the chainsaw fuel and an actual use for a red herring. There is a lot of contextual references in the game, everyone will find something to recognize.
