What a Mess
The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is empty. Four cookie-cutter missions comprise all the non-main quests: kill someone, save something, steal something, or plant something. It never matters who, what, or why beyond the incessant texts you have to scroll through. The main story was just a string of tropes, connected by the best that the video game voice acting world can provide, which is to say it was terrible. If this were a live-action movie, it would panned universally. And that's to say nothing of the technical problems that make it impossible to play the game without glitches and bugs. There's nothing here, really. It's nice and flashy, but once you move past that, it's hollow. It has no real message, nothing important to say, and no sense of purpose. The board game involved questions of humanity, life and death, mortality, exploitation, etc.; the video game makes passing mention to these in cutscenes and then you play shoot-em-up combo-time FPS game. I feel like I wasted a lot of time.
