The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Fossa]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Cybersphere is an amazing game. No, its a mistake to call it a game.
There is very little hack and slash involved, and there's no proper
way to win.
Cybersphere is an interactive novel. There is a rather well done
classless, leveless system in place, and while you can have some
amazing items or an ungodly amount of money after a reasonable amount
of gameplay, ultimately all of that stuff is worthless.
Success, enjoyment, and the foundation of the game itself are built
upon character interaction, upon RP and style. Your character could
die, his gear pawned off in a back alley, his implants ripped, his
meat sold as 'chicken' by Sol'eil; none of that stuff matters. In
the end, style is forever.
The admins do an amazing job of keeping the world real and enjoyable,
and indeed it is a very real world (stupid, thoughtless, and often
random actions will warrant harsh consequences...) giving the game and
the story an amazing backdrop.
Really, you have to play it to understand. This game is amazing. Its
a chance to be part of a story over ten years in the making, a story
compelling enough to illicit laughter and even tears from its players.
There's nothing else like it in the world, and once you get over the
learning curve and understand whats what and how to do this and that,
you'll be hooked.
