So its good?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Ten minutes in and I’m pretty blown the fuck away

Man I love this cyberpunk detective noir shit

 

[Chuck Berry]

Dare I say this is almost like a modern made Snatcher

This game is pretty fucking cool and fantastic looking so the fact that it came out of nowhere and is being sold at just $25 makes it one hell of a surprise.

Yes the first time you see this view is really impressive and ultra cinematic, I was not expecting this at all when I

Spoiler

opened the car door

 

[Dacvak]

I still have no fucking idea what this game is like. Chuck, sell me on this.

 

[salva]

all i wanna know is can you manually drive (fly) the vehicle through the streets? If so, instant buy regardless of anything else in this game

 

[Justin9mm]

I can't play games without combat; the story would have to be incredibly fucking strong for me to play 8+ hours of a detective game. Like award winning strong!

The fact the price started out low means, it can only get lower over time, so if its good, I'll wait to get it on a deep sale.

I got burnt on Trepang2, completely different game, but they released that at a lower price and majority of reviews said it was one of the best FPS' of recent. Was a whole lot of jank and had my attention for less than 2 hours before shelving it.

So this is like a Tex Murphy type game?

 

[Chuck Berry]

We can do Columbia too

Shits insane

If you like old school adventure games and blade runner get on it immediately. Writing is hit or miss but the atmosphere is already nuts.

And did John Williams or the ilk do this soundtrack because what the fuck

It was not on my radar, but seeing these first impressions has me tempted to buy and play it this weekend.

It looks really good but gameplay is absolutely trash. I dont know why these devs cant make good puzzles. the gimmick is manipulating time but its all so linear and basic. i think arkham origins back in 2013 had better detective scenes than this.

good world building and character building though. the two leads have a good back and forth, and i was intrigued to hear just how fucked up this future really is. no concept of driving cars or boats but they have flying cars and skyscrapers.

A few gifs here. very good looking game.

But wasn’t Trepang2 fun combat?

But wasn’t Trepang2 fun combat?

I'm not sure, it didn't hold my attention and shooters are my No.1 genre. Maybe I'll give it another go but it was a bit meh.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Tempted to jump on this since the price is low, but I'm hoping they'll be doing a physical release as well down the road.

Also, I'm going to make a review thread later today since I see that OpenCritic has made a page for the game and there's 2 reviews already up on it.

Review thread is up - https://www.neogaf.com/threads/nobody-wants-to-die-review-thread.1672945/

I'll ofc update it as more reviews come in.

It’s your basic old school detective noir adventure game but in first person (dialogue choices that affect the future, shit to pick up, puzzles)

I personally think it’s worth the price of admission based solely on the visuals, atmosphere and music, but like I said I’m a complete sucker for anything that looks like Blade Runner.

 

[RedC]

...and bought.

Will start tonight.

 

[Paperboy]

Gonna go fresh in using the UEVR mod with this one.
