A quote which V said in the game, or at least I chose to say was that it's not the 'where' you're headed but the road on the way. Something which reminded me constantly of what the game was all about.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a test. To see if players are gonna enjoy the trip and the journey of their character V, to create all these affiliations with all these characters across Night City, to hate, bond, care for, love. Or if they're just gonna waste it all just to get through the game's main story, and get on this site or I don't know where else to write that they've finished the game and give a rating to it. The game tests you. It makes you confront the dilemma of whether you should go a bit slower on the road and enjoy the surroundings. Or if you will just floor it to the finish line and call it a day.

The moment I saw the "No Going Back" message I was hit with a wave of uncertainty. I felt like I did something wrong. The game was gonna be over too soon and I couldn't allow it. Boy, was I glad to choose not to head in Hanako's place.

Cyberpunk 2077, despite of all the weird glitches from time to time, the requirements for it to run and some, very few audio malfunctions, it has ended up to be one of my favourite RPG, Sci-Fi, FPS games. One which rewarded me for exploring Night City down to it's core, finding and making a lot of friends (and a lover) who kept me engaged, and the thrill of uncovering more about their background made every moment enjoyable.

I personally am more than glad for the ending I got. And honestly... I don't want to try to get any of the other endings. I'm satisfied with how MY STORY concluded. How V's story came to be an optimistic closure while making me rethink all the choices I've made, wondering if they were the right one. But it doesn't matter now. Cause the road has come to an end. And I was glad I made stops on the way. I really wish I could just delete my memory and replay the game from the start. All in all, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally here. And I was glad I got to play it now of all times. Also, to make this review end in a cool way, here's a lil' quote from my favourite rockstar terrorist.

"Goodbye V. And never stop fighting."
