Einfach großartig! Great game to play while waiting for CP2077. If you are into cyberpunk, neon-lit urban skylines, synthwave music, dystopian society, and all that, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't enjoy this. The immersion of flying your little 'HOVA' through the skyscrappers in this vast and amazingly crafted futuristic city of Nivalis is just insane. Plus, if you have a headset, definitely try this in VR. I finished the second half of the game using VorpX and it totally transformed the experience.

It's got a decent story with roughly 10hrs of main campaign and plenty side contents/lores to discover. Gameplay mainly consists of you driving your vehicle to make deliveries to various locations in Nivalis and a lot of dialogues with NPCs. It is repetitive but the city skylines and the music never gets old. There is a little bit of progression in the form of upgrading your HOVA and apartment but it's nothing to write home about.

Now, a couple of things I'd like to see improved. First, the camera. The fixed camera position while you are on foot doesn't work well, especially when you are at certain corners where you are going in one direction but the perspective suddenly shifts so you are actually going backwards and then you just go back and forth... Fix that or better yet, just make a 3rd person camera. That'd be awesome. Also, I'd like to have a map of the entire city (showing which part is on top of or below which) and not just the layer I'm in. It would help players get a better feeling of the city layout, because without that I sometimes feel like I'm just blindly following the navpoint all the time not knowing where I'm actually going. A bit more flyable verticality in each layer would also be good.

So, I'm very happy with this. One of the best I've played in this genre. Go and get it.
