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.

Shannara is a computer adventure game released in 1995 by Legend Entertainment for DOS and Microsoft Windows. Set in the rich fantasy universe created by author Terry Brooks, it combines classic point-and-click exploration with puzzle-solving elements. While featuring top-down world-map travel and occasional turn-based battles that evoke role-playing games, the experience focuses primarily on narrative and puzzle mechanics without traditional RPG statistics, experience points, or character levels.

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