Cyber Manhunt: New World Reviews

A wonderful game with an outstanding dark atmosphere, filled with intrigue, conspiracies, and corruption hiding behind what initially can appear to be some unremarkable incidents. Moreover, it can really make you feel paranoid: while digging into someone else's secrets and hacking into their social networks, you might catch yourself wondering if someone is doing the same to you right now, reading your messages and such. The gameplay has been polished compared to the first installment, with many cool new mini-games added, and the returning ones (like managing public opinion) have seen improvements. Elements like the trial, as well as [spoiler]the interaction with your own computer, like in DDLC[/spoiler] are simply fantastic. Unfortunately, there is a downside, and it's quite significant. As many reviews have pointed out, the second part of the last chapter and the ending, in general, are disappointing. Especially when compared to the rest of the game, it feels like a rushed mess, and at times, rather ridiculous. When you think about how great the ending was in the last story DLC for the first game, it's truly disappointing. I hope the developers will take steps to address this—perhaps through a DLC or by rewriting the second half of chapter 5. Otherwise, the game could have been a real masterpiece, an indie Game of the Year, I'd say, if not for this flaw. P.S.: Also, another downside compared to the first game is the lack of songs by "Barbie Saya" (NaiNai) or someone similar to her. In the first installment they added a unique soul to the game, especially the ending songs. In contrast, the ending here only features a melody that was already present in the first game, which is somewhat disappointing. Прекрасная игра с непередаваемой мрачной атмосферой - всеми этими интригами, заговорами, коррупцией и т.д., которые кроются за на первый взгляд не сильно примечательными происшествиями. Помимо этого, она реально способна нагнать чувство паранойи - копаясь в секретах очередного человека, взламывая его соцсети и т.д., ты в определенный момент ловишь себя на мысли - а вдруг кто-то сейчас точно так же следит за мной и читает все мои переписки? Геймплей по сравнению с первой частью отполировали, сделали немало новых крутых мини-игр или улучшили те, что уже были (например, управление общественным мнением). Такие вещи, как суд, а также [spoiler]взаимодействие с твоим собственным компьютером в стиле Доки-Доки[/spoiler] - это просто шедеврально. Однако, к сожалению, есть здесь и ложка дегтя, причем достаточно немалая. Как уже успели отметить многие другие обзоры, вторая часть последней главы и в целом концовка здесь никуда не годится. На фоне всего остального процесса это выглядит максимально скомканно и местами просто нелепо. А уж когда вспоминаешь, какая шикарная концовка была в финальном сюжетном ДЛС к первой части - так и вовсе становится до крайности обидно. Надеюсь, разработчики сделают что-нибудь, чтобы исправить это (уж не знаю, каким образом - с помощью ДЛС или в принципе переписав вторую половину 5 главы). А то игра могла бы стать поистине шедевром, инди-игрой года, если бы не это. P.S. И еще один минус по сравнению с первой частью - отсутствие песен "Барби Саи" (NaiNai) или кого-то, аналогичного ей. В первой части это добавляло души игре - особенно песни в концовках. Тут же в концовке использовали только мелодию, которая уже и так была в первой части. Ну такое себе.

没全网公敌1好玩，前面还不错但第五章结尾纯纯败笔（又臭又长又无聊），以及凭什么Van这个坏东西能“洗白”并好好地活到最后？？？因为他人气高就无视他做过的事？？？

Dude, only play this game if you can handle pretty much any triggering subject. This game has sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, suicide, mental illness, etc. I almost couldn't handle it with all the kid stuff. The subjects are very heavy and prominent. I love games with hacking, and Cyber Manhunt 2 was right up my alley. My only complaint is that I didn't really care for the mini games in this one, especially the end game. Anyway, if you love hacking games, I definitely recommend playing this, but please please check a full list of triggers before going into it. Your mental health matters!! 7.5/10

Its the best game i ever played so far..story line interesting, immersive experience and also the cute cat ;) Looking forward for part 3 if there's any, I definitely will buy!!!!

I have been looking for a game to itch that mystery feeling, but I also wanted one that had some... different and fun tech twist. I loved to grind this, and I honestly hope they come with a third

CM2 builds on the strengths of CM, with some quality-of-life improvements (not having to copy *every single detail* into the SQL and Cracker apps, eg), some excellent storytelling with off-platform optional objectives (the separate downloadable game brought me to tears), and the return of some fantastic characters like Ashley, Aogesi, and Van. Not to mention the unstintingly realistic portrayal of modern-day digital dangers. Even the dreaded mini games have been somewhat improved. They're less of a complete slog (though the final battle was my least favorite part, and the instructions are still terribly confusing). The hacking and social engineering aspects of the game have seen a boost since CM as well, and I really enjoyed the sound design. Overall, this game gets a 9/10 from me, with a little boost from CM3 being teased in the final chapter. Looking forward to seeing what else this studio releases.

Total playtime around 10-12 hours for 0-5 chapters. The searching method is getting boring as usual but developer did add new method to increase the feeling to become a hacker. erm, it do some typing and some little feeling about typing simple command. Overall, i still prefer and recommend this game for interesting storeline, puzzle and fun. Existing story is complete to me and hopefully next series will focus on new story.

10/10 would recomend for any Puzzle game enthusiast Personal Note: Finished the Tutorial after 20 hours.... coincidentaly same time as i finished the game

超喜欢的游戏机制，玩完1就一直在蹲，终于更新完了。自己追踪线索一个个追踪很有成就感，也没有1那么容易卡关。剧情设计也比较符合现在大家都在热议的话题，就是有一些小游戏有点无聊...

It doesn't feel like they learnt a ton from the first one. For example, in the first mission you scroll someone's Facebook page. There's a clue you'd easily add to their info... But you have to wait until you're at a dead end to go BACK to it later. It makes no sense.
