With the recent release of a whopping 48 minutes of Narrated game play in Cyberpunk 2077, a game under development by CD Projekt Red, the makers of The Witcher 3 which by the way, got so many Game Of The Year awards we lost count. The hype for Cyberpunk is quickly rising again as Projekt Red shows what they are capable of. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in Night City, where humans and cyborgs are quickly mixing together as humanity found out we can make ourselves stronger by adding mechanic parts to our body. The fact that this is almost a thing we can do in the real world, only works in Cyberpunks favour since we really want to know what it looks like. The trailer starts with you jumping down with your insane cyber claws, something you unlock later on in the game, as just an example of how far you can go with changing your body parts.

Starting a new game in Cyberpunk 2077 makes you choose your gender, customise your character to your liking and even set your stats. It’s advertised as an RPG but features a fluid class system, something we personally really enjoy, it allows you to switch up your class as you go and doesn’t lock you in to one particular class which some other games do. CD Projekt Red decided to go with a first-person view instead of the traditional third-person view we are so familiar with in RPG games. Personally we think this choice really adds to the immersion in Cyberpunk but it’s certainly something we didn’t expect. As the video goes on we see a slight example of the many buffs and abilities you will have in Cyberpunk 2077. The HUD looks really clean even though the game is still work in progress, we like the colour scheme of it and it fits extremely well within the Cyberpunk theme. A couple of minutes later we already see one of the many multiple choice options you will have in cyberpunk. Each option will result in a different outcome and the world will change depending on which option you chose, this makes for a lot of replayability and makes you want to pick each and every option to see which outcome suits you best, or just choose the worst ones and see what happens. There are many different factions in Night City, we meet The Scavengers and Trauma Team early on in the game play video. Trauma Team being a kind of high end insurance and The Scavengers a sort of gang. There’s a plethora of things you can do in the world, you can follow the story directly or explore Night City at your own pace.
You can choose which quests you do first, obviously choosing one or the other will change how characters interact with you. Technology in Cyberpunk 2077 is a weird one, some things have evolved like we know and some things are completely different from our real world. Money is now called eddies, a combination of multiple currencies,making it a universal way to pay. Dynamic advertisements are available in Night City, meaning depending on where your character’s preferences lay you might get different advertisements. We then get a gorgeous view of Night City,
with a huge amount of A.I characters walking everywhere, almost no characters are the same. CD Projekt Red are really going for the big one here, striving to make it the most believable Cyberpunk game to ever be released. We meet Dexter DeShawn, one of Night City’s Biggest Players, offering you a mission to earn some eddies. Depending on which options you take the story will be told differently, we choose to accept the mission and we get sent out to make a deal with a Corpo agent, Night City is run by many major corporations, and major corporations have the most amount of money to invest in futuristic technology. Getting weapons and add-ons from them is rare but they are extremely valuable. We then go on to meet our Ripperdoc, someone who can change you up and give you some mechanical body parts.
Different ripperdocs are available, black market ones can give you more unique parts but the reliability is something to be cautious of. Upgrading your parts is made really easy once you visit a ripperdoc, select the parts you want and pay with the currency of Night City, eddies. Enjoy your new cyber parts while they last, we have a mission to complete. Upgraded with our new eye and our special weapon grip we can zoom in, see our ammo count and scan enemies for weak points. Other modifications can make you jump up miles high, change your arms into blades and many more! The weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 have different classes, Militech being one of the highest classes in the game, these have the coolest modifications and speaking of modifications, There’s a plethora of options and customisation to do to your weapons, Anything is possible in Night City. Luckily while driving a super car to our mission location, we got the option to change to third-person, Something we really appreciate the addition of, enjoying Night City in third-person is something on a entirely different level.
There are different options to complete the same mission, you could rush out guns blazing and blow everyone up but stealthing a crucial mission involving corporate agents could be a wiser choice if you don’t want to get on a bad foot with Militech. By completing the objective peacefully we opened a non-violent path, way better than fighting characters who are higher level than you. While we are trying to Get into the Maelstrom gang’s hideout we again get the choice to go stealth, or guns blazing. The amount of modifications and add-ons you can have on your character is beyond belief. We’ve seen an enormous amount in this game play alone and no doubt CD Projekt Red is adding more as we speak.
As it turns out the cred-chip we got from the Militech agent was infected and we got set up, we were forced to turn violent and once we have killed everyone in the hideout, we can loot bodies, We find a Spider bot Splinter , which links us to a robot, in the shape of a spider. it will follow us wherever we go as long as we have the splinter chip equipped to our character.
further on we can see more special weapons such as a huge double barrel shotgun which shoots very powerful rounds, blasting through walls and leaping towards enemies we find new weapon mods, such as the ricochet targeting system, which shows us where our bullets will go if we bounce them off walls.
Conclusion
Cyberpunk 2077 is shaping up to be another Game Of The Year award winning title, The game play looked smooth even though we possible have 1 or 2 more years of development left. The story looks interesting and the ability to choose different options each and every time makes it a great replayable title, The amount of content in this game will be enormous, most likely not to the extend The Witcher 3 had but it will likely get very close to it. If you happen to be a Science Fiction lover and you are wondering whether or not to get this game, we recommend to get it.
