Product overview

Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Seven years in the making, Cyberpunk 2077 looks to be living up to all the hype generated by its introduction at E3 in 2019. Set fifty-seven years after the table-top game upon which it is based, Cyberpunk 2020, the graphics are exquisitely rendered with characters, scenery and even actions and movements so realistic that they could be mistaken for movie footage. As you play through the narrative driven game, it is possible to play without killing any other characters, using non-lethal weaponry and strategies that keep you out of serious confrontations of the sort that tend to become lethal. The game features full nudity, as players are able to upgrade their bodies with modifications that give them extra powers and capabilities, and they need to strip down in order to fit their new limbs and attachments. New Details One of the biggest unique selling points of this game is the fact that Keanu Reeves is heavily featured in the game. He plays a character called Johnny Silverhand, who is the lead singer from a band, Samurai, whose songs contain lyrics relevant to V’s state of mind and his life. Silverhand, an original character from the table-top game, is dead in this time, but ‘lives’ in V’s head. This means that the character has more lines of dialogue than any other character save V, who is the protagonist. Reeves was a surprise unveiling when the third trailer dropped, and gave the release date to excited fans, keen to get to grips with the latest offering from CD PROJEKT RED, famous for giving us the beloved Witcher games. Ways to Play Skills: You can play your way through the game, relishing the agility that V has on his or her feet (the character is fully customisable as to clothing, gender, size and so much more), racking up a high kill rate as you dodge from behind
