Step into Night City, where the future is dystopian, the lights are neon, and every alleyway promises either a new adventure or a new glitch. Welcome to Cyberpunk 2077, the game that made us all feel like Johnny Silverhand... if Johnny Silverhand had a tendency to fall through floors and get stuck in walls.

Graphics and Visuals: 4/5
Cyberpunk 2077 is a visual feast for the eyes, assuming those eyes can handle the occasional oddity like characters T-posing in the background or cars randomly deciding to take flight. The cityscape is stunning, a perfect blend of Blade Runner aesthetics and futuristic grunge. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be trapped inside a synthwave album cover, this is your moment. The lighting is so neon-drenched you’ll feel like you’re in a permanent rave.

Gameplay: 4/5
The gameplay is a rollercoaster of emotions. You start off customizing your character, and the level of detail is impressive. Want to give your character glowing cybernetic eyes? Done. Want to spend an unreasonable amount of time choosing the perfect genital configuration? You got it.

Once you’re in the game, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where you can do just about anything, as long as that anything includes hacking, shooting, and engaging in deep philosophical conversations with Keanu Reeves. The missions are diverse and engaging, ranging from high-octane heists to introspective, story-driven quests. Just be prepared for occasional moments of “Did that just happen?” when your bike decides it’s had enough of gravity.

Storyline: 5/5
The story of Cyberpunk 2077 is where it truly shines. You’re V, a mercenary with a chip on your shoulder—literally. Enter Johnny Silverhand, the rockstar rebel played by Keanu Reeves, who’s now living rent-free in your head. Together, you navigate a world of corporate intrigue, cybernetic enhancements, and moral ambiguity. The narrative is deep, gripping, and filled with moments that will make you ponder the nature of humanity and technology... and also why everyone in Night City seems to have an affinity for leather jackets and mohawks.

Multiplayer: N/A
Multiplayer mode? Well, let’s just say that’s still a dream in the neon haze. We’re all eagerly awaiting the day we can cruise the streets of Night City with friends, but for now, it’s a solo ride. At least you have Johnny to keep you company.

Sound and Music: 5/5
The soundtrack of Cyberpunk 2077 is an auditory delight. It’s packed with pulsating beats, gritty synths, and tunes that make you feel like you’re ready to take on the world—or at least the next gang of cyber-enhanced thugs. The voice acting is top-notch, with Keanu Reeves delivering a performance that is equal parts charming and badass. The ambient sounds of Night City add to the immersion, making you feel like you’re truly in a bustling, chaotic metropolis.

Overall: 4.5/5
Cyberpunk 2077 is an ambitious, sprawling RPG that offers a glimpse into a future where technology and humanity collide in spectacularly glitchy fashion. Despite its rocky launch and the occasional bug that might make you question the fabric of reality, it’s a game worth diving into. The rich narrative, vibrant world, and Keanu’s ever-present charisma make it a journey you won’t soon forget.

So, grab your cyberware, buckle up, and prepare for a wild ride through Night City. Just watch out for those disappearing pants and levitating NPCs. Welcome to the future, choomba!
