A lot has been written about Cyberpunk 2077's notoriously catastrophic release. It was one of the most ill-advised, premature game releases ever, being so broken and buggy that it was barely playable. And by "playable" I don't mean "enjoyable" - just that it technically worked some of the time.

But if you're one of the lucky ones to snag one of the new consoles or graphics cards during our never-ending chip shortage, then Cyberpunk is absolutely worth your time. Not only have all the major bugs been fixed, but developers CD Projekt Red have even expanded on the game with new loot, missions, player housing, and more.

It also hosts an incredibly beautiful and atmospheric setting that reacts to your actions. The futuristic Night City feels real, with a designed that makes sense and can be exploited. The game rarely directs you or holds your hand - you truly can approach just about any situation any way you want, and you'll at least have a chance of pulling it off.

Well, unless it was just a bad idea. But that's on you.
