Overview
Description

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.

Set far in the future, humanity’s cold war with the Thanatosians spirals when the destroyer Jeremiah O'Brien is infected by a mutating virus. The ship’s defender mistakes the crew for invaders and threatens to unleash the planet‑destroying Iron Helix on the peaceful Thanatosian world Calliope. As a remote operator aboard the scientific vessel Indiana, you guide a zoological robot through locked sections, gathering uncontaminated DNA samples to bypass security and stop the catastrophic launch.

Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 with friends. Greatly improved since launch. One gripe: some lingering bugs. Would recommend.

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