29/12/20 Comments Closed It simply isn’t possible to enjoy the privilege of a cold first impression of Cyberpunk 2077. After eight years of development, well over a year of frenetic marketing, and facile pre-launch discussion beaten to within an inch of its life, this is a game that’s been stamped onto the gaming community’s collective conscious through controversy, questionable company decisions, and its promise of unparalleled adventure through a hedonistic depiction of Night City. Update 29th December: This is now our full review of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4, having tested the game on PS4 Pro. – ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW – I won’t be the first to point out the fact that this is a game built on the foundations of a dated historical genre, and I’m not the last to define it as an experience born from a Gen-X perspective, thanks to its roots in the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop RPG. Dragging cyberpunk into the realms of 21st-century AAA game development is a foregone conclusion, and as a result, V’s Night City is tinted by a very specific rose-colored set of mirrorshades.
