Proper Role-Playing Adventure

The forced first-person perspective lends itself to tense moments, and it’s not just a shooter with a story.

Cyberpunk 2077 wants to be the Witcher 3 of crime dramas, and it very much hits that high bar in almost every regard. The writing is an engaging thrill ride that’s going to leave you wondering what’s going to happen next. Conversations flow with natural pacing, emotion and wit to stay entertaining and grounded. And they all take place in the evocative sheen and grime of a cyberpunk world. I’d leave a bar in Night City and feel like I spent some actual time in a smoky, low-lit environment for the last hour, having cigarette smoke blown in my face and smelling like whiskey. In its design, it is to 2020 what Red Dead Redemption 2 was to 2018.
