Too bad epic games is sitting on this IP. It deserves a DOOM(2016) type revival, not that live service B.S.
You have to be a POS to review this game and tell people to buy the version that they will have less ownership of while also being exposed to predatory microtransactions. This is the drm free version of the game. The Steam version requires Steam to be installed and this doesn't require any external launchers. Not only that but you can also download it straight from GoGs website on any browser on any device. Don't trust those people that tell you to buy the "superior version" from Steam.

This is hands down the best video game I've ever played. Blending so many genres from immersive sim to open world rpg with a good dose of first-person shooter in a sleek and engrossing world created in the 1980s and revitalized in the 2010s. The journey is just as engrossing, and I loved every second of it. I must say CD Projekt Red have outdone themselves here. This is what video games should be about and not cashing in on live service mechanics. People will be playing Cyberpunk 2077 even in a post-apocalyptic future while all those live services have long since been forgotten. That is preservation and that is giving your consumers a product they really own. I see no reason to never buy another game from CD Projekt Red. My only criticism would be the sexual themes that are highly targeted to male audience and render the females as sex objects. Video games in general can honestly do without so much sex or at least be kept at a minimum for those who want it to seek it out on their own similar to the violence. The relationships are much more important and hope that future games will focus on that much more. Cyberpunk 2077 is a game series that I hope will remain as a reminder that triple A games don't have to be live services and that during the golden age of live services real games were getting made.
Updated UI, Graphics and audio. Definitely one the best modernized introductions to 90s PC Gaming and a visually stunning look at a classic that inspired highly acclaimed and popular games like Dead Space and Bioshock. One the least accessible remakes to come out though as it stays loyal to the original gameplay. Luckily there are many guides and walkthroughs online that help new players get through the game, but players that are photosensitive or color blind will not be able to enjoy it at all. This is one hell of an addition to the spate of remakes in modern gaming.
Possibly the worst game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series but in my opinion one of the best pc video games ever made. (N.B.: All my Playthroughs were on stalker difficulty. I did not try to be a tough guy.) Clear Sky is a sci- fi horror treasure hunting sandbox set in the fictionalization of a real life setting and I love it. But the game is not perfect. There are lots of glitches and the new features, mechanics and progression system can be very frustrating at first. Just like S.o.C. this game requires the player's patience and experimentation before it becomes enjoyable. After looking up guides and tips from the game's community and hours of trial and error I fell into the groove of understanding what to do. After about 50 hours the game was still frustrating but way more fun than when I started. 90 hours in I'm experimenting with exploits and online guides for locations of treasures and hazards. I haven't even touched the mods yet but took a peak at the multiplayer and find it's still active. If you have the time and patience to learn I recommend it. Good hunting, Stalker.
Spent about 40 plus hours reading Gamespot's walkthrough, watching The Salt Factory, a GVMERS documentary while learning to play the game but the rest of the 100 plus hours was just a blast of a journey through this pc exclusive classic. Ingereld wasn't lying when he said it's one of the top 5 best pc games of 2007. Yeah this game confirms that making PC my gaming platform of choice was a wise decision.
