Didn't follow this at all and has arrived to rave reviews this evening! Looking forward to giving it a go!

Hruh, hadn't heard anything about this.
*potters off to youtube*

Ohh, looks funky. First thought was that the cover image looked like Rutger Hauer. Then I heard the voice. It is him

Apparently 20% off (30$/EU base cost) if already own Layers of Fear

Indeed I saw that news too! I had that in early access but never finished it once it came out! This looks leaps and bounds above that game! Cyberpunk setting is interesting! Seems to be becoming more common place! Excite!

DLGamer has it at £21.24.

Anyone used this site before? Any good/dodgy etc?

Yaayuh! · 14 Aug 2017 at 22:34

Looks super cool. Sold!

Loved layers of fear, bit on the rails but was great! Fan of cyber punk so I'm all over this.

Nice to have a game sneak up like this between all the rinse and repeat big name games

Makes me want to retry Layers. that game had some great ideas but it all felt a bit overdone after a while

Looks superb. Could do with a cyberpunk fix.

kinger8938 · 14 Aug 2017 at 23:29

no price on steam, im guessing 29.99, then 20% off as mentioned above for Layers owners

Is that Rutger? Sold!

Saw the trailer and some gameplay for this a few weeks back, totally out of the blue but really caught my interest. Glad to hear it's getting good reviews.

Cheers for posting this, looks like a game I would like. Might grab it tomorrow.

Apparently its an eight hour game, which seems to be the norm.
Checked out some clips, seems all indoors (perhaps missed out doors parts) but looks good

kinger8938 · 15 Aug 2017 at 11:04

Perfect length then! Excited to jump in maybe next week for me!

A good prelude to the release of Blade Runner 2049

Which will give us plenty of time until CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 releases, which will probably be in 2177

Fishbait · 15 Aug 2017 at 15:49

Turns out price is around £18 on gog with the 20%, so guessing same on steam too.
Cheapest can find anywhere else without the 20% is £21.

Missed that Fishbait said this above

Fishbait · 15 Aug 2017 at 17:57

Odd. They'd said on steam forums that it's release on 17th, then 18th.
It's released now.
