It did not.Ĭontrol-wise, flying about the city can take some getting used to. I found myself quitting the game and restarting a few times, in the hope that a reload might clear some cache and improve on the experience. The frame rate constantly dips to noticeable lows and the screen tearing never sorts itself out. However, performance on Xbox One is far from ideal. There are some moments of stark beauty in the permanently darkened cityscapes. But really, this is a game where you follow nav-points and listen to long-winded conversations. As well as taking on missions, you can visit your apartment, upgrade it, repair your vehicle and keep its tank fuelled. Everything is pixelated, with LEGO-like characters shambling around, looking not at all like their dialogue portraits. The visual style is Cloudpunk’s selling point, a cross between Blade Runner and Minecraft. Sometimes these areas are quite small, while other times you must negotiate long walkways and multiple lifts to find your objective. Mechanically, you hover from A to B, find a parking bay and then travel on foot around various city blocks.
GENITAL JOUSTING XBOX ONE HOW TO
To start with, your missions seem innocuous enough, but soon things turn seedy and you must decide how to proceed during some morally dubious moments.
GENITAL JOUSTING XBOX ONE DRIVER
You play as Riana, a naïve young driver for the dubious Cloudpunk company. When it works, Cloudpunk can be a cool little taxi/errand game. I first returned them, then somehow managed to gain a duplicate of the item after speaking to the quest giver again, went and sold the item and ended up with a mission icon and instructions on my screen for the rest of my playthrough that were impossible to fulfil because I’d already helped out the NPC it wanted me to find and he had permanently disappeared. On another mission, I was presented with a choice between selling some hovercar parts for cash or returning them.
I then had to try and somehow push through the ghost loops in order to trigger dialogue for the mission I was on. I encountered several instances when NPCs I had previously engaged within a prior mission would repeat the entire previous mission’s dialogue (including, in once instance, a fetch-quest desire procure some drugs). Strange things happen in missions and during NPC interactions, too. Cloudpunk is full of such moments, little realisations that – eh – this ‘thing’ is often done much better by other titles, that what looked good on paper doesn’t quite play out smoothly and ends up with the player feeling a bit sidelined. A couple of hours into Cloudpunk, hovering above a neon-blue parking bay, waiting for a conversation with Camus, my dog-car AI, to spool out (because no other waypoints will appear until it ends), I came to appreciate the skill with which larger developers incentivise players to travel while listening to dialogue.
