My completion time was 26 hours. This completion time could be lower if you prepare for the game beforehand. With backing up your safe file for decision related achievements the required playthrough could be decreased to one.

It is quite easy to get the game to 100%. The only ones related to skill, or to some experience, are the timed delivery and the full playthrough without reapair. You can keep playing the game once finished the story.

The curator group doesn't mark any game as recommended so it shows useful information about achievements on the store page of the games without influencing the main store page of steam with recommendations + all games sorted to lists based on expected completion times. No point not to follow!:-)

Cloudpunk has only one save slot and working with autosave. The game is saved every time you parking, enter your HOVA again, traveled to another zone, or after you progressed with your quest.

No manual saving is one of the biggest problems of the game, as players like to return to liked conversations to experience it again without replaying the whole game until to that part, or just to choose one different solution for a quest.

The game is saved to:
C:\users\username\AppData\LocalLow\ION LANDS\Cloudpunk\
slot0.sav is the save file.

Username is different for everyone, it is based on what username you added during windows install.

Just copy that save file for whatever saving you want to "save" manually, and whenever you want to return to that point just copy it back to that location. Don't forget to create a backup save for your new save file too, as this method will overwrite your newer save.

There are 2:

The perfect run
Complete the game without repair


Do not repair. At all. Your HOVA can't be destroyed, I tried for 15mins to bump to everything. It became damaged, slower, but no game over because of that.
You can land at repair stations, you can talk with engineers, you can go to Emit (as quest related) you can buy upgrades, just never click on HOVA repair, never click on the field marked on this picture:

It is still easy to get to the end without damages, you can just travel above all traffics. After zoning there are always heavy traffic generated to the location where you land, so just push F button to go right so you can leave the highway fast.

Additional hints:
When you get the Radio Nivalis story achievement, the delivery after will make you pick a new HOVA. Damage your HOVA as much as you can before doing that delivery (as at the end of it you will get a new HOVA anyway) so it will unlock a repair mission. Do not repair during this, but this event also unlocks a new car equipment you can buy at any garage, the wall bumper upgrade. If you owns it your HOVAs will be more durable.

No Pressure
Successfully complete all time sensitive deliveries


There are 4 times events in the game. One of it is awarded with Outrun achievement and not count to this one i think.
The 3 "delivery" required for this:
-When you pick up Huxley at Gallows Row, you need to escape a signal. This is the one usually everyone miss, as you need go always to Caledon area on the same map segment, but before the escape event start you get a NAV point, which leads far away. If you start to follow that NAV point you won't be able to get back to the required location.
-When you with Huxley and Pastha some event will happen, which i don't want to spoil here. Get Huxley to the location in time, enough time, so you shouldn't have any issue.
-The third is the only real delivery for this achievemet. You need to deliver a printed heart for Lifecorp. Timer starts once you pick up the delivery, more than enough time to finish the delivery.


You can get most of the extra story achievements after story finishined, engineer might be an exception as his story related to the malfunctioning city. Please make sure you earned all 3 engineer related story side-achievements before finishing the game. These are the following:
I'm an Engineer
Not sure I'm cut out for this
I quit

As far as i know you can unlock the engineer achievements in any order and so you might get these achievements in different orders.

Engineer achievement could be earned after finishing the story. Credit goes to Mutenear who shared this in the comments:
"The Engineer is still available after the story, for those who want to do all side quests afterwards. :)"

Nivalis Tourist
Discover all unlockable locations


1. Explore the ground areas carefully.
2. Go through of all roads.

Once done you probably will still miss 2 locations:
1. Lucille's Garage. The repair station north from Mercantile Station. Please keep in mind you need to land to explore this location.
2. In Midtown, fly up high at the bund, then follow the railway to north. This will unlock the Ash Lane location.

After this you should have the achievement, I think there wasnt any other easy to miss location which not linked to achievements, i unlocked the achievement by exploring ground areas, going through all roads and going to that 2 location.

Additional missable locations:

-Londa Ruins which is a massive location with the name in the Oldtown map. No ground area, usually you won't go there while playing the story, but you should get this if you "go through all roads" which is suggested for many missable locations
-The Grundown Ritz - One block to east from the Bund, go close to the huge building there.
-Nook Bar in Fulcrum Disctrict, Oldtown area. It is a small area, small store next to an elevator. You will use that elevator when you going to Huxley's office:

-Franz and Foreman Tower: never thought this could be missable too, there were some ground loots close to it but some had problems to find this too. It is in Mochi District, same ground area where your starter HOVA was stolen. Once parked with your car just get to the other side of the area:

-Shin Bash Sabi Sushi, one of the resturants in Nihon Minorus, on the wester side of Mochi District.

-Gafgary Tunnel, a section of road on the eastern side of Mercantile District, just south of Ochuba.
