Truly deserving of all of the praise it has received.

An absolutely enjoyable game that it so satisfyingly enjoyable!

The game appears to not be in a playable state.

I am unable to move around at the very start of the game, attempted after restarts and using keyboard or controller; when attempting to move they act as though they are trying to move but instead don't go anywhere except occasionally moving an inch or so while continuing to effectively just run in place.

Genuinely a good story and entertaining game play.

Yes, people let the hype get to their heads and expected too much from the game before it was even released, and it even had a rocky start on consoles. Don't let that taint your expectations of the game. It really is worth playing. If you don't feel comfortable paying full price for it, then I would highly recommend waiting for it to be on sale to scoop it up.

Absolutely stupendous.

This game is stunningly beautiful, defying anyone who would claim that video games can't be art. This is an interactive watercolor. All I will say is that one particular point filled me with dreadful anticipation, I could feel my heart racing. This really did evoke actual emotional response and I don't mean as some games can, and will, induce rage.

After having taken a break from playing what felt like stagnant stories and cookie cutter game-play, this has been a grand adventure. I thoroughly enjoy everything about this game and can hardly wait for the next iteration.

A surprisingly addictive FPS set in a non-standard post apocalyptic world where booze rules it all.

A truly beautiful story wrapped in a gorgeous world. This game is far-and-away one of the best games. Period. The story is gripping and soulful, enticing you with characters you come to care for in situations you hope they can get through. Even just exploring the vast map while putting the story points on hold is utterly enjoyable.

An absolute buggy mess of a "game". I had to attempt the intro tutorial race 4 times, before the game could even load everything and not crash.

The first time I attempted the tutorial race I restarted the race a few times (who doesn't want a stellar start?) but it eventually crashed and wouldn't load. The second time I attempted the tutorial race I was stuck in a loading screen whipping me at odd angles about the car with florescent lights all about; glad I don't have epilepsy. The third time I almost didn't even make it past the very beginning "epilogue" race as textures weren't loading. Before I could even get to the tutorial race a bridge failed to load and I simply fell into oblivion and the game crashed. Origin and Steam both thought the game was still running while it was definitely dead. The last attempt, I finally finished the race, went to the shop as it directed me, saw the little videos and attempted to make it to the next checkpoint before textures stopped loading and the game wouldn't load the next portion.

Yet another reminder to stay away from EA games.

An absolutely gorgeous game with a wonderful aesthetic and an intriguing story.

The game has some draw backs, such as poor camera angles at times which mess with a weak control scheme. Additionally, at times the voice acting/writing falls flat. But those cons are made up for with the the entrancing atmosphere that encapsulates Cloudpunk. It doesn't go out of the way to invent anything entirely new, as every quest is essentially a fetch quest, but navigating through the world makes it enjoyable. I absolutely adore the game and can hardly wait to complete it.
