![]() Just like with any RPG, Cyberpunk 2077 offers food and drink consumables that may be used for healing to supplement the self-healing implants and a rather extensive inventory system. But inside are storage for extra weapons and goods that the player doesn’t want to sell but cannot carry around without a weight penalty. Although V has an apartment as a home base, it isn’t upgradeable nor are there any other apartments to move to. V is also aided by various companions beginning with Jackie who is introduced into the game early as someone he already knows from the past or with who he has a good working relationship. Just like any other major metropolitan area, players can expect a good day/night cycle which affects quests and player behavior, there are non-English speaking NPCs, and there are many quests available and quest givers known as Fixers to interact with.Ĭompleting quests gain XP which improves the stats, and side quests yield “street cred” that unlocks additional options and quests. Night City is surrounded by the Badlands which may also be explored on foot or in various vehicles that may be purchased. It is similar to many large metropolitan areas of California now – from towering skyscrapers and crowded streets to the industrial areas and gang violence-filled ghettos and homeless people living on the streets to the suburbs. ![]() The massive Night City is set in a future parallel dystopian Northern California location which consists of six distinct regions. So there is a playing style for just about every type of player. If you prefer shooting, for example, just using weapons steadily improves stats like reloading and accuracy, but the game can even be completed without killing anyone. The character strengths develop by use similar to Oblivion’s system. Three types of ranged weapons may be modified with four types of damage. Mele specialists can use fists, blades, or blunt objects. Cyberware implants installed by a Ripper Doc offer upgrades that may be purchased or earned by completing quests.Īs with most shooters, V can aim and shoot, run, punch, jump and double jump, and slide. The stat categories include Body, Intelligence, Reflexes, Technical, and Cool which are influenced by the character classes: hacking (NetRunner), combat (Solo), and machinery (Tech). V is a mercenary whose voice, face, hair, tattoos and piercings, body type including (male) genitalia, and clothing are customizable. However, its launch has been plagued by bugs and poor AI, by terrible performance on the last generation consoles, and by falling far short of being the in-depth RPG the developers of the game promised – that you can “be anything” in Night City. Mario said “I have waited for this game for 7 years”, and he did not want to wait an extra minute! He started playing the instant it released after his day job ended, and he played it for nearly 9 hours straight missing sleep before returning to work the next morning.Ĭyberpunk 2077 is a very long game that will keep players involved in this dark corporate-controlled dystopian world tale by clever storytelling, exceptional voice acting and motion capture, outstanding cutting-edge graphics including ray tracing, and a ton of good content in the main story and in the side quests. Rodrigo and I purchased digital keys, but Mario accidentally ordered a ‘box’ key that had to be physically shipped from Amazon – the same one we are giving away today so we traded the review key so he could preload and play the instant the game released. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary who acquires skills in crafting, hacking, and tech, together with many customizable options for combat.īabelTechReviews received a reviewer’s copy of Cyberpunk 2077 for PC courtesy of CDProjekt Red and NVIDIA on Thursday just ahead of release.
