Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of supernatural private eye Edward Carnby as you embark on a chilling investigation into the kidnapping of young Grace Saunders. Set in December 1924, just three months after the events of the original game, your search leads you to Hell's Kitchen, the sinister stronghold of the gangster One-Eyed Jack and his ruthless crew. Experience a haunting mix of hybrid 2D-3D graphics as you solve intricate puzzles, evade danger, and fight off zombie pirates using a wide arsenal of weapons or clever trickery. Play briefly as Grace Saunders in stealth-focused sections, and uncover the dark fate of your missing partner Ted Striker in this cult-classic sequel.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action-adventure game set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis driven by power, glamour, and body modification. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw in pursuit of a unique implant that holds the key to immortality, navigating a world where mega-corporations operate above the law. In a gritty future defined by cyberware, violent crime, and extreme poverty, your choices directly influence both the narrative and the world around you. Experience deep role-playing customization of skills, cybernetics, and playstyle as you carve your own legend in the streets of Night City.

Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 with friends. Strong main story and Phantom Liberty. One gripe: demanding hardware for ray tracing. Would recommend.
