With a heavy emphasis on player customization and player choice, Cyberpunk 2077 is shaping up to be a unique RPG experience. Despite multiple delays, my excitement continues to grow, and here's why I think Cyberpunk 2077 could be the best game we've ever seen.

Ever since its original announcement in 2012 and the subsequent teaser trailer that gave us our first look at the futuristic world of Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 has sat at the top of my most anticipated list. Each additional trailer and gameplay reveal brought more information, only helping to fuel the nuclear energy of the hype train that I’ve been aboard for nearly eight years now, despite a series of delays through 2020, the most recent of which pushed Cyberpunk 2077’s release back to December.

As a huge fan of RPGs, being able to create a character and then truly make that character your own is a huge part of the genre’s appeal. While the studio’s work on The Witcher series was exceptional, Cyberpunk 2077 will offer players something that almost no other RPG has offered before, at least not on the same level as CD Projekt Red (CDPR): full character customization.

One of the most crucial parts of the RPG experience is to become one with the character and truly immerse yourself in the world and the person you are playing as. With pre-made characters like Geralt from The Witcher, this can be extremely difficult. Geralt is who he is from the start, and despite some branching questlines, you cannot change his fundamental nature.
