The Beast in Me
If you can’t stand driving in Cyberpunk 2077, this quest is not for you. If you have any sensible taste in how a car should handle in a video game you probably can’t stand driving in Cyberpunk 2077, in which case “The Beast in Me” is not for you. There’s a reason I drive motorcycles exclusively in this game, and that’s because the 2.0 update did nothing to stop cars from feeling like they’re constantly hydroplaning.
All that being said, “The Beast In Me,” while comprised of a series of standard open-world street races, delivers some lovely character work after you cross the finish line. The questline follows Claire, the bartender at The Afterlife bar V frequents. She’s looking for a driver for some street races, and V has a driver’s license so they’re more than qualified to get behind the wheel and get shot at. The driving is still a pain, but some good, contemplative story beats wait in the margins.
