I grew to appreciate Cyberpunk when I explored other open-world games. Its world and atmosphere truly immerse you, evoking a sensation I hadn't felt since Skyrim, albeit in a futuristic setting. One major highlight is the exceptionally well-crafted and believable characters, a trademark of CD Projekt Red's storytelling prowess. Even in its early stages, the game demonstrated solidity, featuring intriguing gunfights and the option to pursue personally enjoyable hacking-focused builds.

However, it was the 2.0 adjustments and accompanying DLCs that truly elevated Cyberpunk to one of the best in its genre. The introduction of a gunfight-focused build added a thrilling pace to the gameplay, while the Phantom Liberty story arc rivaled, if not surpassed, the main storyline in depth and engagement. Although I found the base game's narrative somewhat lacking in replay value, prompting me to step away once the DLC concluded.

Looking ahead, I anticipate revisiting Cyberpunk's world in a few years, hoping to explore it anew with a different character build. It's a testament to the game's richly crafted universe and engaging gameplay that keeps drawing players back for more.
