    To the folks recommending the game, can I ask you a question? Not trying to antagonize, just curious:

    What makes Cyberpunk click for you? I played at launch, wasn’t really enthralled, and refunded. I later grabbed it on sale + Phantom Liberty DLC, played through the main story and half of the DLC, and it still never clicked for me. I wasn’t entirely bored, but there were so many moments where I felt like the game world didn’t really care what I did unless I was playing a main mission.

    What are some things I can try in Cyberpunk to see if it clicks for me?

      I cared for the characters. There was some real emotion going on. Diving with Judy with “Pyramid Song” playing felt special. The Panam tank mind sync scene was bizarre but memorable because of it. The whole V vs Johnny Silverhand mind war makes you think about what really makes you you. The taxi AI side quest was quirky and fun.

      And there is one part of Night City that’s straight up an hommage to the iconic Ghost in the Shell scene where they stand in a semi flooded part of the city. Made me nostalgic.

      It’s not really an open world RPG though. It’s more story driven and when the stories are told, well… not much else to do.

        Didn’t play long enough to get to “Pyramid Song,” but given it’s one of my favorite songs of all time, I might have to revisit the game if even just for that part lol

      The main mission, the story of V, Panam, Judy and Jhonny. They are full of great moments. If I’m honest the open world is a meh/10.

      Gameplay got quite a bit better when I installed the realistic damage mod, though it might not be for everyone.
