Cyberpunk 2020
I just finished the game and I loved it, but it was a struggle to complete at times due to the technical issues, which are so widespread that there's no way it can receive a 5 star rating in its current state. It certainly plays like a game that came out during a crippling pandemic. By now you've probably seen a lot of the bugs on social media, and while I've enjoyed sharing some of the funnier ones I've encountered, they really prevent you from being fully immersed in this world. For a game that follows The Witcher 3, it's also narratively limited in comparison. But that's OKAY. It doesn't need to be that complex. It has just enough choices to keep you watchful of what you say and do, and that's all I really needed in what is essentially, to me, an open world Deus Ex. If the technical issues were all corrected I'd be just fine with it. Probably. Yes, it could have been more. Yes, there's a laundry list of changes I'd make if I could. Yes, Keanu still can't act. But for 2020, a year that has slowed many companies down to a crawl, it'll do. Just please, keep those patches coming.
