Cloudpunk is a good game for people who don’t want to stress out while playing a video game. This is a very low-stakes mellow gameplay. You’re given the freedom to fly all over the city at your own pace. Plus you can get out of your taxi and walk around all you want. But this isn’t like Crazy Taxi where you’re just constantly collecting fares, there is a plot.

If you don’t know the word voxel, it’s a “pixel” with “volume”. So while a pixel is a square, a voxel is a cube. The voxel art-style is more apparent when you get out of your taxi and walk around:

Here’s a trailer. You can get it on Steam, GOG, Switch, Xbox, Playstation, anywhere you want.

Also, the developers are working on another game in this universe called Nivalis. It’s supposed to be more of a life-sim where you own a noodle stand rather than driving a taxi. Here’s a trailer for that one.

    I loved the atmosphere in cloudpunk, cruising around the city listening to synth tunes and the rain pattering on the roof of the HOVA 😌

    Really looking forward to Nivalis - the screenshots they’ve shared look so cool.

    I enjoyed Cloudpunk, although I found the main game to end a bit abruptly. I’m not done yet with City of Ghost but one thing I noticed is that they increased the resolution of the faces, which are now looking more similar to the avatar when speaking to an NPC, which is nice.

    Also really curious about Nivalis.

    This was a great game and nice aesthetic, the story was interesting. Totally recommend it to any gamer and blade runner fan.

    Color palette and stuff looks nice, but everything seems unbearably jagged and obscured.
