The sheer amount of power Alt has as an AI shouldn't be underestimated, especially since the world of Cyberpunk 2077 relies on the Net and everything connected to it. The fact that she could override Arasaka's defenses after being freed by V and Johnny proves how powerful she is, even if she doesn't have a physical body. Barring the Arasaka ending, every other path mandates that V use Alt's help to hack into Mikoshi and help V and related Silverhand embark upon the journey to finally separate their psyches and go their w

Despite not even being seen in the events of Cyberpunk 2077 , Blackhand's influence can be felt in every part of the game. It ranges from the books he's penned, to a clever in-game news report that alludes to his presence in Japantown. It's easy to see why any Solo would aspire to reach the same level of notoriety as Morgan Blackhand, and why players who were invested in Night City's lore were quite fascinated by this charac

Phantom Liberty 's narrative is as riveting as anyone would expect from a DLC by CD Projekt Red. Not only is this DLC properly woven into the central narrative of Cyberpunk 2077 , but it also enables a new ending if V plays their cards right. During Phantom Liberty , one major character that plays a central role in the narrative is Song So Mi, an accomplished netrunner known by the alias Songb

The modding community has also helped out by dishing out some great content that makes the play experience a little smoother. For all intents and purposes, those who bought the game are playing the game, and hopefully Cyberpunk 2077 will ascend to the level where those same people will want to play through it again, just for the branching storyli

One of the biggest selling points of Cyberpunk 2077 leading up to its release was just how involved Keanu Reeves was. Cyberpunk is one of the many video games Reeves has appeared in , but he’s never been so associated with a game than he has with 2077 . In the game, Reeves plays Johnny Silverhand, has long dark locks, and wears a black vest. One gamer hilariously created a character in Skate 3 that looks almost identical to Silverh

While Cyberpunk 2077’s Gangs of Night City trailer was mostly hype, some things in the trailer are true. Pacifica, which is home to the Voodoo Boys and The Animals, is a lawless part of Night City. Cyberpunk 2077 's teleporting police doesn’t patrol that area, allowing players to freely run amuck without any real consequences, other than getting into it with the gangs if caught in the crossfire. In the trailer, Judy also says, " Everyone in this city lives in their own bubble ." For Cyberpunk 2077's gangs, this is unfortunately accur

It's that last problem that had many gamers fuming, especially when forced to deal with missions that literally broke the game due to stability and programming issues. On the PC front, Cyberpunk 2077 was not prone to rampant crashing, but stability improvements have made the game an even better fit for that platf

Upon entering the game for the first time, there’s a bit of a learning curve. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s super steep, but the interface can be a little overwhelming until you spend some time with it. There’s also often a vagueness in the narrative that takes some getting used to. However, I think this adds to the game’s immersive experience. You’re essentially a newcomer to the bordertown, tasked with somehow getting through the gate into Cincinnati. You’re not really given any direction and are left to figure things out on your own. This "picking yourself up by the bootstraps" experience forces you to be uncomfortable and confused at first, but eventually pays off as you learn the nuances of the g

Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m

When players interact with Panam, they can form a bond with this character as they help out both her and the group she works for. The Aldecaldos are nomads with a common cause who band together to pool their resources and do what's right for their group in the lawless area of the Badla

Gamers can say what they want about Cyberpunk 2077 , and most of it is probably justified, but there’s no denying just how dense the customization gets when it comes to suiting and booting the playable charact

With the confirmation from CD Projekt that the cast of Cyberpunk Edgerunners is canon the the world of the Cyberpunk 2077 game, it only seemed apt to include the most memorable of the Edgerunners crew, starting with David Martinez. David Martinez, quite literally, was just 'built different', being able to handle and absurd amount of cybernetic implants before dealing with cyberpsychosis in any capacity. But, more than that, David was just an incredibly nice guy with a good head on his should
