This game launched as a disaster on last-gen consoles, got pulled from sale, missed some features that were advertised during pre-launch rounds of marketing (do not get me started on this game’s appalling marketing), frequently swerved across the road from mature storytelling to an extremely childish piece of work, and caused seizures without containing a warning. It is also, honestly, quite a good game. And those two things can be true at once! This is the nature of big budget video games and Cyberpunk 2077 is,…
