I just beat Sekiro NG+ and I needed something chill right to offset that, and Cloudpunk fit the bill perfectly.

Gameplay-wise there's almost nothing to it. I've put about 4 hours in and there's no racing or skill challenges or really any opportunities to fail at all. Beyond a few quest-conclusion choices, there isn't too much the game asks of players, but it's very much a ~vibe~ game and I'm enjoying the hell out of just zooming around the city in my HOVA. I found the voice acting to be pretty drat good, inoffensive at worst, and carefully designed to fill most of the dead time as you're zipping around the city, so it never feels boring. It's a slow-drip narrative experience, and I dig it.

I think the aspect that sold me on it the most was just chilling with my former dog, now AI buddy in the car, and the cockpit / dashboard view drive mode is wonderful. (Press X while in dashboard mode to unlock free-look, it's basically mandatory) I'm playing through pretty much the entire game in first person now.

The only thing that bugs me, and it's a minor complaint, is that the rain effect is tethered to the player's view, so it rotates with your POV, and the drip/splash effects apply pretty much everything, even under cover.
