Cool visuals, bad voice acting, hollow
Visually speaking, this game is gorgeous - especially if you're a sucker for voxels. Otherwise, Cloudpunk and it's DLC makes for a rather hollow experience. You play as Rania, courier for the eponymous delivery service: Cloudpunk. A shady enterprise whose drivers seldomly works more than a few shifts, Cloudpunk employs Rania and send her out in the rainy nights of Nivalis, a huge and sprawling metropolis filled with vice, conflicts and misery. Cloudpunk is a fairly straight forward Dark Future-story, straight from the 90s, mixed with certain political messages that oughta cater to Gen Z mixed with odd satire. While you navigate your path between neon lights, garish billboards and howling police sirens in order to either collect or drop off a package, Cloudpunk tries it best to enterain you with constant dialogues between Rania, the car's AI, her handler at Cloudpunk HQ and the occasional passenger. The endless banter is often tedious although it can sometimes be a tad entertaining. Satire can be fun but a game that is 90 % walking simulator really can't afford to have such a poor cast when it comes to the voice actors. The delivery is so stiff it belongs in a morgue and the game has weird pauses between each characters lines which renders any attempt at making the dialogue feel natural pointless. In the DLC, the developers try to spice things up a bit with a more adult-oriented language (plenty of F-bombs incoming), a couple of escape sequences and even an optional racing mini game (that is almost impossible to loose) but it's way too little to make a real difference. Before releasing on GOG, the developer Ion Lands was opaque, to say the least, about the DRM they used for Cloudpunk which made me less than eager to pick this game up but a juicy discount made me fall for the temptation. All in all: not a terrible game but besides looking pretty, Cloudpunk has too little going for it to merit a higher grade than a 2/5.
