Despite CP2077’s rocky launch, it provided an engaging story and a beautiful world when it arrived. Issues with older hardware brought complaints from the public, but as the developer fixed issues with game performance for some, and as the baseline user PC hardware increases to handle such a demanding game engine, more and more people have come to realize the the world that CDPR has constructed from Mike Pondsmith’s TTRPG is an ambitious and layered initial outing. The world is beautifully imperfect. The characters are beautiful and flawed, and the quest the player begins, is stark in its message and expectations in a place like Night City, while still being ultimately very satisfying.
