I was very skeptical about this game because I DON'T LIKE cyberpunk lore. But the story in Edgerunners got me hyped enough to give it a try. Do I regret it? Not at all! But my wife sure does—I've been completely unreachable since the start of the year. All I do, all I think about, is this incredible game. Yes, it has some bugs. Yes, there’s some untapped potential that will probably be fully realized in the sequel. But the feeling this game gives me is hard to describe. I thought I was too old to truly enjoy games anymore. Turns out, most modern titles are just soulless, profit-driven calculations. Here, you can feel the heart. A great story, an amazing world, real emotions. I can already tell that once I finish the game, I’ll probably feel a bit empty—but it will be worth it. This is easily in my top 10 games of all time. Could it be better? Sure. I wish the side activities were as immersive as the main quests, but if the game were perfect, what would there be to improve in the sequel? NPCs can be a bit dumb, but playing on hard or very hard still offers a great gameplay experience. If you love a good story, even without being a cyberpunk fan—you’re going to love this game.
