Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 has a complicated reputation, to say the least, but Night City is one of the most believable worlds a game’s ever taken me to. I could get lost in its city streets for days and still turn up something or someone that was new and exciting, and that’s kind of life in the big city as I’ve always known it. Confounding in its labyrinthine depth, but always deeply rewarding to explore, Cyberpunk 2077 features a cast of characters from every walk of life too, including folks from the rough-and-tumble streets of Santo Domingo and Pacifica, where marginalized communities live in dilapidated and abandoned structures. Cyberpunk 2077’s world is rich in texture and history around every corner, and you can be a part of it by picking up the base version of the game for $30, or the ultimate edition including the Phantom Liberty expansion for $53.59 on Xbox.
