Thankfully, IonLands’ Cloudpunk lived up to my expectations and more, even if it may still need a little more time in the oven to be fully cooked. When it was confirmed a console release was on the way, I was delighted. It lived at the top of my ‘port wishlist’ for the longest time. For Rania, it’s all simply a first night on the job that’s quite unlike any other. You immediately want to learn more about the company, its dealings with Corpsec (a shady company that effectively controls the entirety of Nivalis) and the underbelly of corruption that runs throughout. Of course, this isn’t quite how it ends up going down and the twists Cloudpunk takes you on throughout are remarkably intriguing. It’s up to you to take deliveries and pass them along with no questions asked and you’ll finish your shift without a scratch.
#CLOUDPUNK PS4 REVIEW DRIVER#
You play as Rania, a brand new delivery driver for ‘somewhat-corrupt-but-ultimately-paying-your-wages’ delivery company Cloudpunk, arriving in the ‘last’ cloud city of Nivalis with a hope of starting over. What was it about Cloudpunk that captured my interest, then? Well, besides from the wonderful visuals which I’ll jump into shortly, there’s a tale throughout that moves from hysterically funny to horrifyingly bleak and back again, committed to its mission to startle you and make you somewhat uncomfortable when faced to make some heavy choices. I remember seeing the games original trailer and concept, falling pretty much in love almost immediately and then that sudden moment of realisation that my PC would laugh at me if I ever tried to get it running left me a little empty. If you’d like to know how the game runs and feels on a PS4 Pro, look no further Ĭloudpunk is one of those Steam-only games I had been waiting ever-so patiently for to release on consoles for the longest time.
This write-up will be a purely PS4 port based impression of Cloudpunk, as our own Toby Andersen has exhaustively reviewed the original PC version right here. A stunning PC experience gets forcibly pushed onto consoles with disappointing results.
