I am, I am in shock, right now I am not well, I am freaking out, I have never had such a long and beautiful journey as with Cyberpunk 2077. This has been the best thing to close the year. It's too beautiful that I can't explain it in words.
I started this game, 14 days ago, 2 whole weeks playing it, no other game, just Cyberpunk. Em embark on the journey with the male 'V', doing identical to the 'V' from the trailers and the cover, having a little idea of the game, just simple photos that I had seen, without any spoilers, nor did I know what I was going to game, I had not seen trailers, or absolutely anything. An unknown journey. From the first day I loved it, many people used to talk about the bugs, but now this game is incredible, I haven't had a single bug in 40 hours of playing, only slow map loading, textures, lower FPS in very concentrated places with a lot of shots and that's it, but that's from playing it on PS4, so I don't care, it didn't bother me either, because it barely happened.
V a totally charismatic protagonist, with great aspirations who wants to be great, a legend in Night City with his friend Jackie, but Jackie... ends up dying (rest in peace Jackie...) and V a while later, also. He is resurrected thanks to the relic, where the "mind" of Johnny Silverhand was, the charismatic, selfish, open-minded, and somewhat crazy asshole, he doesn't give a shit about everything.

And this is when V's true journey begins.
This game is amazing, it's... Perfect in its own way.
The mission style is not repetitive, you have dozens of options to complete any mission, stealth, hacking, being aggressive and more.
Quite frenetic and incredible gameplay, good controls, good skill system, good weapons and something totally beautiful and that is modifying your body with chrome. It is impossible to get bored playing.
Dozens of secondary missions which are part of the story, secondary missions that are not in vain, that have a great contribution to the story and its different endings, each one different from the other, each one with a different plot, with something different , nothing repetitive, nor monotonous, everything perfectly balanced. The best secondary missions I have seen. Apart from the orders and etc, which are incredible too.
The open world is exquisite, you can do countless things, explore, kill, steal, shop or just eat something. A great map, but not too great, just enough to not be tedious. Fast travel and cars/motorcycles are very good, the driving in this game is quite good, although the physics are a bit strange.
Also the scanner is great, I mean, the gameplay is perfect, it's beautiful, it's extremely incredible in all its fullness.
The radio is quite good, it has variety to pass the time going from one place to another, you don't need to put on music yourself.
The calling and messaging system is incredible, I love it and it is very interesting. It makes you appreciate each of the characters more.

Let's talk about the side Cast, it is one of the best I have seen in gaming, all the characters full of life, with very good performances, each one with their conflicts, aspirations, personality and charisma, each of them are unique and incredible. It's like you're his real friends.

V's journey... It is too emotional, every time you advance and spend more time with him, the more connection you have with him, the more comfortable you are, the more you like him, the more you connect with him. V... He could be a real person, he is a very human and realistic character, whether it be his conflicts, charisma, attitudes, actions, etc., it doesn't matter, V is perfect in that sense, too human for me. V's development is especially beautiful, someone who aspired to everything greater, wants to be remembered, admired, to be a legend, someone who just... Wants to live and be happy with his people (at least in my game). And then Johnny, an incredible deuteragonist, an arrogant man, who wants to live again, he doesn't care about V, then be a friend of V, someone who accepts his death, accepts the evil he has done, thanks to V, Johnny achieves his redemption, realizes everything and even in the last moments does not try to claim V's body, he simply wants V to be happy, follow his path, and he will go where he belongs.


I would love to talk about the love relationships in this game and that's what I'm going to do. If Cyberpunk 2077 has something special, it is this. Something that is too original and full of life, where every act counts, where every decision and word you say counts, and not just in relationships, in the entire game.
When I played Judy's act, she is a truly charming character, when she finished her act, I even missed her for V. As you already know, with male V nothing can be done with Judy.
But everything changes when Panam Palmer arrives, she had heard that she was better than Judy, something I highly doubted, but in the end... Oh man, I have really ended up falling in love with Panam, a nomad who her help for a job and then the other way around, a beautiful trip with her, the choices and dialogues are very natural, and you are the one who gets Panam. A girl on the outside who is tough and with a lot of charisma, but on the inside, deep down she is sweet, loving, sentimental, someone who needs to be protected, someone who needs V, a totally beautiful girl inside and out, a girl with many internal conflicts, and the beautiful thing about this is that we can help her with all her problems, make her feel better and make her do the same for us. The sentimental moments between the two of them are special, they are unique. And there is a very beautiful moment, a memory of V's past that Panam remembers, next to the bonfire, looking at the stars, Panam says alone "for Jackie", that simple moment is incredible, brother, how could I not love to this girl?
I don't give a shit about all the other relationships, Panam is something special, which interweaves a very realistic and personal bond with V and the player, which doesn't happen with the other relationships. Panam is different. I want a Panam in my fucking life, universe, PLEASE. I felt like she almost loved me, something too personal (I definitely fell in love with a pixel).


Leaving those things aside, now to the serious stuff.
Cyberpunk faces complex themes, about morality, duty, responsibility, or simply the purpose of life, existentialism, why we are here, or absurdism, ikigai, Utilitarianism, redemption, self-denial, freedom complex and hundreds more, maybe everything, maybe nothing. Cyberpunk does not have a very complex story, nor does it try to be very deep, it is simple, but good and very well executed, the important thing is the journey.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a test. To see if players are going to 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 dilemma of the ticking death clock on V is what truly makes this game special, we're faced with the inevitability of death and it forces the player and V to make the most of their time, there is no guarantee that V will survive and find a way out so we work under the assumption that we must make the most of our time on this Earth before we die. That limited time is what makes this game special to me, we're forced to live life to the fullest and in spite of all of that V keeps fighting, not only for themselves, but for their friends, the ones they lost, and for a better future, even if it's a future that they won't live to see.
The decisions in this game are quite a tense point, something that makes you think and can even overwhelm you, you feel that your life falls into it, and it is something true, V's life falls into your own hands, a perfect representation of own reality, something that makes the game special, they are not simple choices, they are choices that make you question everything, absolutely everything, but you have to keep fighting. It makes you rethink everything.

And the ending I got... I'm personally proud of it, I haven't seen the other endings, but this one is supposed to be the best one and I definitely don't care if it's the best one or not. This is the end of MY own story. I wouldn't change it for anything, nor would I play the other endings, at least not now, I'm too satisfied with how MY STORY has concluded. Making me rethink all my choices I've made, thinking about whether I did the right thing or not, thinking about everything. 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.
I have felt this game entering my soul completely, the ending is destructive, destructively beautiful, every decision I made, I thought it was going to be wrong, every decision I made my pulse accelerated and it made me nervous, I didn't want to leave, many difficult decisions They are put in the last missions, I have never felt something like this, playing and choosing options with all the fear in the world, as if it were real life. In the network, with Alt and Johnny, I was nervous, overwhelmed, restless, but happy at the same time, also confused and a little sad. But he always chose to live, whether in real life or in Cyberpunk, I want to live, and V deserves to live, simply a leap into the void where I don't know what will happen. But in the end it surprised me, yes... I'm very happy. It is definitely, along with TLOU2, the game that has had the most emotional impact on me, I have cried like never before, I have felt feelings like in no other game, I have felt feelings that I have not felt in TLOU2 for example, a bomb of feelings, whether from happy to the fear. An unforgettable experience, a beautiful experience.
(After two more weeks. I love this fucking game, platinuming this game has been a beautiful journey... well, I haven't platinumed it, I'm missing a trophy... a loseable trophy (fuck you Takemura), one day I'll get it, but for now I'm happy with this, this game is a game that everyone should play, it has a bad reputation for its output errors, but everything is fine now, It's an underrated masterpiece, it made me cry like I was dying lmfao, No ending has impacted me more than the ending of Panam, although the end of Johnny, not the end of Johnny and Rogue, the end of Johnny/V/Panam, has destroyed me too, it has impacted me a lot, I love Johnny and V too much, this is wonderful)

+72h

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games right now.
Cyberpunk 2077 is full of incredible messages, it has taught me many things, many values and teachings, small and big things, but important, especially V and Johnny. Communication between relationships, sincerity and honesty, shame, never giving up, art, every decision in your life counts, the fact of continuing to fight, being yourself, and many more things, Cyberpunk is going to change me in little aspects, and it will. is already doing in some aspects.
Fuck you.

To finish a perfect dialogue, for a perfectly imperfect game.
