I finished this game many, many times, and I keep coming back, saying that I repeatedly keep coming back without even modding the game is barely describing the experience of living in NC.
From the very first moment you launch the game, customizing V, choosing 'your' life path, and landing in NC, you feel a sense of connection and a merge with the world that very few game worlds are able to deliver.
Saying CP2077 is a must play is an understatement. The replayability is unmatched especially with the sheer number of builds and mods showing up over the past while, there are a LOT of hidden secrets, a LOT of lore, immersive dialogue and the main story of the game is addicting to say the very least.
Even the eddies exploits are fun lol.
Then comes phantom liberty and oh god it just feels like the game keeps on giving, there are games out there that feel like they're stalling for the sake of it, you will never for a moment feel that in NC or Dogtown, the game is rich with content and not for a moment will you turn your head away. There will be moments when you will be IRL and you will see striking similarities with the game.
CP2077 is an experience. A great one.
