In short, Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world cRPG set in near future, where corporations rule the world and humans ugrates themselves using various implants. If you've played Deus Ex games you know what I'm talking. We play as a V, a mercenary who can do anything for money - transporting, stealing, killing or even saving someone. So when the opportunity for big heist arrisess, you are man for the job! But unfortunately instead of money, as a payoff you end up with the perspective of not-so-far death. And you definetely won't get over it easily! Personally I liked the plot, especially the main V's motivation. It's not a Witcher 3's level, but it's not far from it neither. And personally I like cyberpunk much more than fantasy. Oh, and characters are memorable too. On the gampelay side, it's basically Deus Ex but in open world. You can freely travel around the big city and its surroundings using cars, motorbikes or fast travel. The first two options were enjoyable enough that I rarely used the third one, although vehicle handling needs some time to get used to. We have some freedom of choice of currently doing main quest alongside the plentiful side quests. All of them allow different approches - you can always go loud or quiet in multiple ways depending on your skill set. But as the avarage grade can sugest you, there are some downsides. Mainly, the bugs. And oh boy, there are a lot of them. I consider myself a bug free person - I can rarely acknowledge any at all in games. But in Cyberpunk I saw them at least a few every hour. Car flying after collision, its clocks not changing, NPC staying still or appears when you are just in front of them... this are just the examples, although none of them were gamebraking. The game is also quite unoptimised and lowering graphical settings doesn't seem to significantly improve performing for my 2017 gaming laptop. But after all, I had a great time playing it, and that's what really matters!
First thing first - despite the subtitle, Ozymandias is definetely not a empire sim like Total War or Paradox's series. Which does not mean that it is a bad game, just misleading. Actually Ozymandias is quite enjoyable tabletop-like strategy in which player(s) try to lead a bronze age nation to domination over a map representing a part of the world. Who first fullfils set of quests, such as having X armies, Y tiles of land or Z gold, wins. The matches generally takes no more than an hour which makes this game perfect for breakes from doing something productive. The mechanics are also simple and even my fiancee who played only Sims could quickly pick the game and play succesfully against computer opponents. The only downside for me is rather limited amount of available maps. On Steam it was solved by DLC which are unfortynately not available on GoG, although the vanilla game is constantly updated on this platform.
