“After having played for some time and decided, that i have enough, i wanted at least leave a conclusion here: Warning: this game is clearly for adults, has topics, like sex, rape, drugs, torture and so on. Cyberpunk…”
“Mix the following ingredients: - Neo Scavenger - Disco Elysium - Cultist Simulator Add a little cyberpunk sauce. Summary: fresh and exciting in a doomed world of AI garbage and soulless AAA games.”
“I've not played in years at this point but in simple terms, even without its many advancements since I last played, this is one of the most interesting games ever made. I don't mean good (it is very good), I don't mean…”

“I want to start out with my appreciation for how respectfully this character treats LGBT+ people, especially trans people, trans people are treated as human like anyone else, in a realistic manner for the world they're…”
“This game has taken over my last 2 weeks! Fantastic writing and a deep, interesting world to explore. The atmosphere of the game is great and the wide range of skills, choices and random events mean there's a lot to…”

“If you enjoy cyberpunk media at any level, theres no excuse for not playing this game,considering its free. Alot of content and narrative exploration. While theres a learning curve as far as mechanics go, its fun and…”
“If you've been looking for a text based game you can lose yourself in for a long long time then this is the game you've been looking for. I've been playing my main character for over 200 days and I'm still discovering…”
“there's kind of nothing else like it, and for all its flaws i am finally very invested here on my third attempt at a playthrough. So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the backstreets or whatever.…”

“This is a very immersive roleplaying game if you love reading, and the systems are very satisfying once you get to understand them. I want to recommend this game to anyone, but especially fans of dark, cyberpunk fiction…”
“This is a slow-burn kind of game, and i'll start by recognizing that it's not for everyone... but if you're part of the target audience, you're in for the greatest immersive experience that you'll ever see. There's a…”

“Extremely fun "life simulator" type game with really good writing, intriguing characters, evocative setting, and MANY different ways to play. It's a lot of reading, but if that doesn't bother you, it's absolutely worth…”
“As of right now I have yet to encounter a roleplaying game with such intricate systems that simulate a grim cyberpunk dystopian reality experience effectively in its own format and do it successfully like…”

“This game’s pacing is painfully slow. The main reason is the severe shortage of action points: even if I log in twice a day, I can barely move the story forward. Balancing stats, grinding for money, and farming…”
“This game is a giant waste of time designed to get you to spend money; basically your standard freemium structure. I never spent any real money on this game, even though it drew me in pretty well, but the last 50+ hours…”
“An interesting, though somewhat frustrating choose your own adventure game. The key mechanic - that action replenish over real-world time - can be very annoying. Other design choices compound the frustration: progress…”

“Cyberpunkdreams is one of those games that proves you don’t need flashy visuals or traditional gameplay to get completely hooked. Even if you’re not usually into text-based adventures, there’s a good chance this one will pull you in especially if you’re a fan of the cyberpunk…”

This is that game, Some people might dislike the action system and that it takes real time to recharge. They might even consider it equivalent to those stupid phone games. But the game…”
— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“I love this game, but I can't recommend this to most people because of the action point system. This game is so in depth, action point system hinders everything about it. I would gladly pay $50 for an offline version of this game, that's how much I hate the action point system,…”
