5.0 – My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 – Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 – Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 – Really enjoyed, don’t love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 – A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn’t lose any sleep.
2.5 – A game I’d play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 – A game I don’t want to play again
1.5 – A game I can’t find any reason to recommend

Honestly, I was almost ready to jump in this game blindly, until I learned of the real-time thing.
Ive been expecting to pass on this more and more as time went on, despite my son andni both loving the theme…than you had to compare it to Project Elite, a game i love.
Knowing my son and i both enjoy Project Elite and the Cyberpunk 2077 theme, i think i have to back this. 😅
My only problem with this game is mainly that there is an app. Id consider trying it out still because apparently there is a way around it and its optional according to there gamefound. just curious how the experience would change and if it isnt much. I usually play my board games on Shabbat because that's when I have the most time to actually sit down. As for any controversy regarding this game I'd say it comes with any IP that has a big name around it. I think anybody that sees a big IP asks themselves "how can this be also a good board game? If it already succeeded as another medium then can it truly also succeed in a completely different way that is constructed completely differently?" It's a fair question to ask. The board game medium isn't so easy to go ahead and bring to the table so many people have their doubts. And with that comes suspicious distrust of others. But I think it's important to find a reviewer you trust hence why I appreciate your input Alex because it's always straight to the point. As for any others that are asking themselves why to trust Alex All they need to do is watch more of his videos.
Thank you Alex, for the video!
It was fun to play the game with you, and we are glad you liked it so much:)
As a big Cyberpunk 2077 video game fan and board game fan, this is a must-have for me, even to play solo.>
If the timer is too much for me on a lazy evening… I'll just house-rule something, like "ignore the timer, 5 seconds equals one turn" or something like that.
I appreciate you trying something new to address criticism/your own skepticism, but just to give you some honest feedback i prefer your more standard form of reviews. I feel like i come away learning more about the game, versus here all I really know is real-time and a reference to a game I've never played and is out of print.
Id love for them to add David as a character or an edgerunners expansion or somthing
Are the original bugs included?
It sounds kinda like Project Elite with some depth and progression layered in. THAT feels like a game that should have been made already. I'm very excited for this one!
Great, level-headed review. I can't think of another game in recent years where the cynics have been wishing for it to fail quite as hard as this game.
I totally understand the disappointment if real-time games aren't their thing. I've never even heard of this mechanic before, and from what I've seen of the playthroughs for Cyberpunk, it's a blast.
It says something when reviewers have to preface their opinions with "honestly, I'm not lying!" because of a minority of haters. Nobody should have to do that 🙁
You mentioned not using timers for the first mission or so. I may look into trying to play the whole game that way. I don't want to feel rushed during a board game.
I have simple issue with real time games, I just have two people in my common party who just need their time with games. And mechanically, it just doesn't feel thematic from what I saw in playthrough. There is nothing that screams Cyberpunk in my face.
However, I love how you added this Tamashii: Chronicles of Ascend in the back. I have this game with all expansions for almost an year and it is still the game to go almost all the time when we want to play cyberpunk themed game. There are just so much cool things abou it. Starting from the fact that characters start from zero every game, to the extreme level of randomness and reaching the fact that it is a story, but missions have individual stories, making it perfect one shot game.
Don't understand the whining about the timer. It's so easy to houserule. Some people are just whining for the sake of whining
all good but can you clarify if real time games are working for you long term?
How does this play at different player counts?
$192 CAD…. I wanted to back it but that's just too expensive. It's probably going to be even worse at retail cause they will be selling some of that content as extras.
I hated my 2 plays of Project Elite and despite that i'm really pulled to this one. I think this is because it is turn based and you can check that the other players are not doing missplays to some point
I had tuned this game out when I heard realtime and app but after listening to a bunch of reviews I've flip-flopped.
Part of that comes down to my positive experiences with GoB but is mostly just due to having a better idea of the game mechanics and feeling like I'll enjoy it 🙂
Is the game relatively easy to understand for new board game players?
I think this game should have a turn limit rather than a time limit 🤔
Witcher Old World is terrible, come on, man.
I just pledged to support the game. 👍🏻 I was a sucker to support Star Citizen, this is different. I love CP77
With Earth Under Siege: Flashpoint finally in the post I’m wandering if Cyberpunk is just too similar to make it worth the pledge…
