CD Projekt RED's action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a remarkable turnaround according to recent Steam reviews, now boasting a 95% positive rating based on the past month's feedback. This praise comes after the title was initially fraught with performance issues and bugs at its 2020 launch. Several updates and an expansion later, it seems the game has redeemed itself, earning a "second chance" from players. Game director Paweł Sasko shared his heartfelt thanks to the community via Twitter for this change in reception.

How has Cyberpunk 2077 improved since its initial release?

Since its problematic launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has received numerous updates fixing bugs and enhancing gameplay, including a substantial expansion. The improvements have evidently resonated well with the gaming community, reflecting in the significantly positive recent reviews on Steam.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a dystopian future within the sprawling Night City, where players take on the role of V, a mercenary on the hunt for an implant that is the key to immortality. CD Projekt RED, the studio behind the renowned Witcher series, developed Cyberpunk 2077. The game blends first-person shooter elements with deep role-playing mechanics, and despite its troubled start, it has cemented its place in the gaming world through its immersive storytelling and expansive open-world.
