I liked the game and was looking for exactly that as something to replace post-endgame Death Stranding (I just want to get high, drive around and deliver packages), but did not find Cloudpunk simple-- while it was fun, it was confusing, depressing and unrewarding.
This sounds negative but I can't articulate the "feel" of it any other way-- it's a beautiful-yet-sterile corporate dystopia so soulless (Harry Canyon's cyberpunk future, with none of the edginess and grit), in-game suicide would have been a reward worth grinding for...not because "this game sucks," but because "this character's life sucks." Like living inside Reddit rendered in VRML. As much as I wanted to keep going, I couldn't bring myself to care to progress her in that world anymore. Not even Dark Souls made me feel this much despair.
Atmospheric indeed. The descriptions of it being a desktop wallpaper engine are on point.
