Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most widely expected releases of all time and that’s for a very good reason. This comes from the Witcher 3 developers, a title that has received a lot of acclaim and it’s still considered to be one of the top RPGs ever made. Now CD Project Red are embarking in the Cyberpunk universe with a rather unique take. They go with a first person perspective and they actually make you a robot-like character.
In Cyberpunk 2077 you play the role of V, which is a mercenary that has a lot of prominence in combat, machinery and hacking too. You even have melee combat options in the game and a plethora of other features to enjoy and appreciate. To make things even better, the game also does a very good job at making the experience very fun and exciting by offering a very large world full of stuff to do and experiences that you can enjoy.
They have stat categories that you can access and you can improve on those based on what class you have and the actions you take. The perk tree is also branched into then type of combat or weapon you use, it also has engineering, athletics, assassination and many others. You will need to go to the ripperdoc in order to access implants and there are black market upgrades that you can access for a certain fee, as you can imagine. V can also climb walls with his arm blades.
Moreover, Cyberpunk 2077 has 3 ranged weapon types like Smart, Tech and Power that really push the boundaries when it comes to great experiences and fun, rewarding moments for you to enjoy. The weapon use will increase reloading speed and accuracy, which is a novelty idea in a game like this. Thankfully you are allowed to upgrade and repair weapons.
It’s said that you can complete the game without actually taking a life if you want. Or you can go guns blazing and suffer the consequences. Recent videos suggest that the city is split into six regions, each one with its fair share of features and challenges. To make things even better, the game is designed to help you with guidelines, and you do have the option to browse various regions via a car if you want to. There are fetch quests and all kinds of challenges, but at the same time you will also be able to access and use companions too. They even added consumables in the game for convenience and that really shows the type of value and quality you can expect here.
Even if you die in Cyberpunk 2077, the game moves on. However, there are different endings and those will differ based on the choices you make and what player agency you use. It’s still nice to see that there are such options and you can explore them with minimal consequences. It just shows that you are getting an amazing experience without having to go on a linear route.
