Hummus-Side |09| Cyberpunk 2077

I'm just going to hang dong and show vageen/booba. Let's test this Rumble thing out. I mean, I didn't put it in the game! Those fairies at CDPR did! (More like CCP RED, amirite?)

Cyberpunk 2077 is like a neon-drenched escape from the mundane grind of daily life, where the only thing more corroded than the city's infrastructure is your own sense of hope. You step into the shoes of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary in Night City, a place where the future is both dazzling and dystopian. It’s a world where technology has advanced to the point where you can augment your body with all sorts of cyberware, but at what cost? The game mirrors the hollowness one feels when life's promises turn out to be just another corporate lie.

Navigating Night City feels like driving through your own life's disappointments; every turn could lead to a new opportunity or another dead end. The city is a character itself, pulsating with life, crime, and corruption, much like the office politics you've grown to despise. There's a certain grim satisfaction in seeing virtual lives that are as tangled and compromised as your own.

The story, well, it's about chasing dreams in a world that's designed to crush them. You're after immortality, a quest that resonates when you're stuck in the same old job, watching the years slip by. The characters you meet, like Johnny Silverhand, are reflections of what could have been - rebels with causes, fighting against a system that's rigged from the start.

The relationships in the game offer a glimpse into connections that feel more meaningful than the ones you've settled for in your own life. There's romance, betrayal, and companionship, all wrapped in the kind of drama that makes your own marital routine look like a black-and-white rerun.

Gameplay-wise, it's a blend of action, stealth, and conversation, much like choosing when to fight your battles at work or at home, when to keep the peace, and when to speak your mind. The open world lets you decide how you want to live this second life; do you go all in on the violence, or do you try for something resembling honor in a dishonorable world?

Then there's the music, the soundtrack like an anthem for the disenchanted, blending genres in a way that feels like the background score to your life's downturns and rare moments of rebellion.

Cyberpunk 2077 gives you a chance to live out fantasies of power and control in a world where you feel neither, but it also holds up a mirror to the corruption and cynicism that you've come to expect from reality. It's both an escape and a reminder that even in a world where you can change your body, your soul still bears the scars of disillusionment.
