Review: Cyberpunk 2077

Updated on September 27th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: Welcome to the hardest gig in the game, side gig or otherwise. The Beat the Brat mission is one of the first available after the semi-tutorial yet it can easily be failed by players who have fully cleared everything else in Night City. Lacking the right strategy and a particular build, it can be impossible for even veteran players to achieve victory during one or more of the gigs. The Phantom Liberty expansion and update 2.0 have changed the way this fight can be approached (for example, the blunt weapon exploit no longer works). This mission is doable in the current patch and this guide has been updated to show how victory can be achie


Feline Footwork isn't a perk that will completely revolutionize the way players take on Night City, but it does serve as a prerequisite for later, more powerful perks – and offers some decent sub-perks to empower players while crouc

In Cyberpunk 2077 the player takes control of V, a character with an existing personality and with one of three possible backstories. The player has a decent amount of creative control in determining how V looks, with the basics such as hair style, eye color, skin tone, tattoos and other visible cybernetic augmentations, but we all know which feature of character creation got the most attention prior to release. Unfortunately, this may have been premature as the customization options come up short with six permutations for male genitalia (two variations, three sizes) and only one option for female genitalia. Instead of having clearly-defined genders to choose from there are two body types -- the standard generic male and female model -- but you can put male genitalia on an otherwise female body or vice versa. Or have no genitals at all. Ultimately, make a character with whatever combination of parts you want to play as this choice seems to have no bearing on gameplay or the story.


Another benefit of upgrading the Cool tree (and all trees) as much as possible is the expanded dialogue and world interaction options only available at lvl 20. But on the way to maximizing the attribute, prioritize picking up these five best Cool perks over others, where possible, to get the most out of the Cool tree as fast as possi


The Epistrophy missions involve gathering Delamain taxi cabs that have gone haywire. They are all messed up in one way or another, but the strangest one can be found in North Oak as it is circling a roundabout endles

There are bugs and glitches in Cyberpunk 2077, but on a high-end computer the game runs fantastic and looks even better. There are a few concessions that need to be made as there probably isn't a machine that exists that's capable of running this game with all the settings maxed out at 60 FPS, but even on High or Ultra settings things still look great even if it is 30-40 FPS. This isn't the biggest game world or longest game ever made, but creating such a massive city that feels alive is no small feat. One of the more amusing bugs is occasionally after a lengthy battle enemy corpses would lay in rather bizarre positions, like their dead body will be seated in a lunge position with their arms sticking out and their head laying horizontally on their shoulders.


The perk also completely eliminates the movement speed penalty that applies when players aim throwing weapons. Though this perk won't apply to every Cool build, it's one that throwing weapon builds should make a beeline for from the start of Cyberpunk 2077 news 2


At Level 3, the eponymous Deadeye mode unlocks, greatly enhancing Headshot and Weak Spot damage with no bullet spread, but only when players are above 85% Stamina. It's incredibly useful on its own, but the sub-perks that branch off of Deadeye can further empower players during combat with Handg


It's hard to justify an entire respec just for one mission but many players find themselves doing exactly that. Those who really want to win this gig without cheesing the fights may feel they have to respec. If so, make it count and go heavy in the Body skill bra


Feline Footwork simply increases players' movement speed and Mitigation Chance while crouched by 15% each. A bit faster crouched movement, and taking less damage while crouched, is certainly not bad, but players ought to pick this perk up for its sub-perks and for access to the Ninjutsu perk – which unlocks crouch-sprint


After the botched heist, V goes on a hunt to find Evelyn along with Judy. However, it turns out that Evelyn had also fallen in the trap of a bunch of vicious individuals in Night City, being forcefully sold off for illegal braindan


Most people hoped that Evelyn would slowly start dealing with her trauma and come back to normal... but the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is a vicious one. Unable to deal with the events that she was forced into, Evelyn decides to kill herself when Judy wasn't around for a wh


Focus is an incredibly useful Handgun perk that also affects Precision Rifles and Sniper Rifles, two other weapon categories that the Cool attribute tree often encompasses alongside Handguns. At Level 1, Focus increases Headshot and Weak Spot damage, while level 2 unlocks Focus M
