Oh man, what a damn masterpiece.

I already loved Cyberpunk 2077 before 2.0, I actually finally finished it back in 2022, it was still incomplete with a save file of 60 hours.

But what 2.0 does aside, essentially turning this game into what it should have been, and now it's damn worthy of its name,
But man, Phantom Liberty.

For me it was one of those narrative experiences that continues to haunt you after you've completed it, I just couldn't stop thinking about it in the days that followed, and not just after the main ending mind you, basically after any main mission.

The themes, the presentation, the performances and characters, all essentially perfect, I don't know how CD Project Red managed to tell stories this dark, this complex, and this bleak, both in the main game and Phantom Liberty, and not worry about sales or anything related to that, the writers and story designers did not give a DAMN about anything and just told the story they wanted to tell, a story taking place in the already massive and complex world of Cyberpunk, and they just went with the most complex elements in the universe, they should be proud of the perfect adaptation they have managed to pull off.

And Songbird, holy hell what a character, all other excellent characters in this whole game aside, she is just on another level, she's one of the most intriguing, complex, and enchanting characters I've ever seen in anything, she stole the whole show and most of the time wasn't even on screen, just her voice, and that's thanks to the phenomenal voice acting by Minji Chang, she has breathed life into one of my favorite characters of all time, and whenever she WAS actually on screen, I was just on the edge of my seat.
Everything from her way of talking, mysterious past, and alluring presence just worked, and was the main force behind the spy thriller, even psychological thriller themes of the story, the wicked and haunting vibes of this story continued to haunt me for days.

What an experience, sometimes I'm just reminded why I'm glad video games exist.

Man, what a JOY this game is once you figure it out and start playing the right way, get some builds going, and melt bosses.
It's resource management done right.

Also the OST is really damn good, I sometimes pause the game just to headbang to it.

The biomes are all great, my favorite is the third one, Interport, because of the atmosphere and enemies.

If you like FPS games or Roguelikes, do NOT miss this game.

I initially played Detroit back when it released in 2018 and back then, I actually enjoyed it quite a lot.

As a sci-fi lover, I was immersed in its world and the game got me invested, it also had nice visuals, a great soundtrack, and Connor's chapters were awesome.

But recently I went back for a replay, it had been 4 years since I last played it, this time on PC with better visuals, frame rate and basically everything else and... I dropped it after 8 chapters.
I just couldn't handle how the game takes itself so seriously, Markus's chapters became unbearable, mind numbing chores, and Kara's were boring and lifeless.
Like seriously the freedom and slavery themes are so cringe and unrealistic, it's so bad.

I still loved Connor and Hank though, their chapters are awesome but it wasn't enough to keep me on the replay.

I don't know if I like this game or not anymore, I won't touch my score, it's for my previous experience of this game, I will leave it be for now on.
I don't know if Detroit is a moody, atmospheric, sci-fi tale with a good cast and cool soundtrack
or a pile of pretentious, mind numbing, cringe dog shit.
I guess it can be both, it's just a matter of perspective.
I just had to get this out, it's a petty game, not even worth a review this long but whatever.
