What players think
The recurring themes across 160 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Despite its relatively short length, I feel immensely satisfied with the experience I got out of Duskpunk: I had fun, the mechanical aspect was challenging enough to be engaging, and the narrative was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excellent.
From a design perspective it's very solid as well, with the mechanical systems aligning very nicely with the narrative themes and progression.
It's too easy, particularly after you unlock all areas.
The music and sound effects are great, but if you're a hard core audiophile, you might develope an eyebrow twitch.
The best things about this game are the survival mechanics, the world building and the art style.
