Live in one of gaming’s best cyberpunk worlds
I am a fan of many things: Japanese women’s wrestling, those little rivers that get carved into beaches, and game worlds being reused and repurposed. Until RPS rebrands, I’ll only get to talk about that third thing in that list. But look!Nivalishas been announced. It’s a “slice-of-life” game set in the same city as cyberpunk delivery simCloudpunk. You get to live there, learning to cook, decorating your apartment, and even go fishing.
Everyone who played Cloudpunk wanted to see more of the city, so developer Ion Landsadded a first-person modelast May. They clearly just ran with that and ended up withNivalis, where you can choose how to spend your time. You can build a business, decorate where you live and where you work, mix cocktails, tend to a greenhouse, or just go for a walk. That last one feels like the heart of it all, really. Let the world slowly reveal itself as you slosh through puddles and bump into NPCs, delivery cabs whirring overhead.
Here’s what Cloudpunk looked like in first-person when it was updated. In other news, I have reinstalled Cloudpunk, and will be taking thelatest sequel-sized DLCCity Of Ghosts for a spin.

I know this sort of thing is said a lot, but I need this to come out in VR, stat. I’ve played bothLow-FiandAircar, and would happily spend a lifetime in a VR voxel city.
