Neon Dreams and Digital Nightmares: Cyberpunk 2077's Allure

When CD Projekt Red, the studio behind The Witcher series, announced "Cyberpunk 2077," expectations were sky-high. Launched amidst an unprecedented hype storm in December 2020, it quickly became a talking point not just for its ambitious scope but also for its turbulent technical journey. Today, it stands as a testament to both the heights and hurdles of modern game development.

The Experience

Set in the sprawling, gritty Neo-dystopia of Night City, players navigate through this digital metropolis as V, a mercenary with a customizable backstory and skillset. A first-person RPG brimming with quests, hacking mechanics, and high-octane combat forms the core of your experience. Every street corner teems with life (and danger), making exploration as thrilling as it is perilous.

What Sets It Apart

"Cyberpunk 2077" shines in its art direction,think neon lights illuminating rain-soaked streets,and an evocative soundtrack that pulsates alongside your adventures. The narrative ambitions are huge; branching storylines promise different outcomes based on player choice, carving unique paths through this cybernetic labyrinth. While not flawless at launch, subsequent updates have refined its mechanics and stabilized its ambitious open world.

Who Should Play This

If you're a fan of open-world RPGs with rich storytelling and complex character customization, this cyber-epic is calling your name. Available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the game demands patience and an appetite for discovery. While familiarity with CD Projekt Red’s previous titles adds context to their developmental ethos, no prerequisite knowledge is required to immerse yourself in V's vivid journey. Average playtime clocks around 20-40 hours depending on your affinity for side quests.

Cyberpunk Open World

A game that I personally haven't finished, but which is powerful. After the numerous bugs at launch, and the many patches that fixed them, I picked it up after about a year, and I'm not disappointed. Right from the start, you create your character (female V in my case) with several possible choices. The story is gripping, the environments differ depending on the district, the nighttime world is even more beautiful, but the daytime side represents life. The side quests and main quests are all different. You're free to wander around as you please, on foot, by car, by motorcycle, to explore the map thoroughly, to attack the police, to talk to NPCs... An open world like GTA, but much better, you also have the possibility of romances, the skills give you various advantages, the weapons are quite varied, there are also car races; you can search pretty much everywhere in every corner to resell everything to merchants and make money, you can also buy motorcycles and vehicles through the phone app... The game is really good overall, I highly recommend it. Plus, the appearance of the legendary Keanu Reeves (Matrix) in the main story and the "Phantom Liberty" DLC finds its predestined place, his character is really well done and fits perfectly with the actor's personality.

Possibly the greatest comeback story in video game history

Anyone present for the initial launch of Cyberpunk 2077 will remember the laughable bugs and performance issues that caused it to be pulled from the Playstation store and refunded. But anyone who stuck around long enough to see the game continually patched and augmented will recognize just how good it has become.

You play as V, a mercenary with one of three unique origin stories. Much of the game takes place inside the hedonistic neon playground known as Night City, and your roleplaying options within this urban den of debauchery are more or less limitless. As are your build and gameplay options.

Performances from Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba (in the expansion, Phantom Liberty) boost already-stellar performances from both voice actors who portray V. The game is filled with memorable characters and situations, many of which resolve in a way that reminds the player there are no truly happy endings in Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077 is the only game I've ever beaten and then immediately beaten again. It's also one of only a handful of games I've rated a 10/10 in the 12 years I've kept track of my video game ratings. It often goes on sale, and both the base game and expansion are worth a playthrough.
