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.

Step into the shoes of Julian Gardna and continue the epic story begun in X: Beyond The Frontier. The game expands the universe with new missions, factions, and a deeper narrative that challenges players to shape the galaxy. Powered by an updated graphics engine, X2: The Threat delivers fresher visuals, redesigned ships, and bustling stations, creating a more immersive and complex space simulation experience across Linux, PC, and Mac.

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