Cyberpunk 2077 is an odyssey rather than a linear narrative RPG. Night City seems dense and well-populated, but it’s not just the people that give this place personality. The world is full of other elements that bring it to life. There are few moments where you feel lost in Night City, as each sector is well-defined and detailed according to the people who populate it. And somehow it feels like a comment on the densely populated and polluted cities at the moment.

Cyberpunk 2077 often feels like a commentary and prediction of where our lives are headed, and this is where the RPG element of the game comes to light. Most of the time, as you dive into the game, there’s a sense of immersion as if you’re talking to the characters themselves, and the first-person perspective starts to make sense.

Although it’s often overlooked right away, I always believed that Cyberpunk 2077 was a story about the characters finding their freedom. This freedom isn’t just represented by putting you in chains and giving your character the opportunity to escape. This freedom is more poetic and personal to everyone.

Characters like Johnny Silverhand, V, Panam, Judy, Rogue and many more try to escape these overwhelming events, but are stuck. What freedom means to you and who you would like to be, is in your hands.
