Cloudpunk: Being a deliverer in a futuristic neon-lit metropolis is now my career goal

Einfach großartig! Great game to play while waiting for CP2077. If you are into cyberpunk, neon-lit urban skylines, synthwave music, dystopian society, and all that, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't enjoy this. The immersion of flying your little 'HOVA' through the skyscrappers in this vast and amazingly crafted futuristic city of Nivalis is just insane. Plus, if you have a headset, definitely try this in VR. I finished the second half of the game using VorpX and it totally transformed the experience.

Draugen: Style over Substance

Style over substance. That's my impression after finishing the game. Draugen has everything to be a great walking simulator - stunning graphics, excellent voice acting, solid writing quality, and a mysterious setting of a secluded Norwegian coastal village - BUT, there's one gigantic problem: the story is just not good. I'm sorry but it's not. It started very promising, but ended in such an unsatisfying way. A lot of suspensions are created in early game, but almost none of them is answered in the end.
