Cyberpunk 2077 Is Worth Exploring
If the designation of “Overwhelmingly Positive” isn’t enough, then take it from the users themselves. Little Raven, who has over 500 hours on record had nothing but positive things to say in their review.
“This is, quite simply, one of the best games ever made. Full stop,” says the player. “The combat is amazing. The story is top notch. The art direction is stunning. The VAs are all top notch, and the forced first person perspective means you LIVE as V. Whatever you have heard about the problems this game launched with, they have been fixed and oh so much more.”
As mentioned above, the game has received numerous patches and fixes in the time since its launch in 2020 to help bring it more in line with what was originally showcased. In late 2023, Cyberpunk 2077 launched itsPhantom Liberty expansion DLC, which helped expand the story and playable area.
Not only that, the companion animeCyberpunk: Edgerunners was also released to critical acclaim. In other words, there isno better time to jump into Night City.
