DEVELOPERS NEVER GAVE UP HOPE - CYBERPUNK 2077 HITS MILESTONE AFTER 3+ YEARS

May 13, 2024 1:28 PM

Gamers worldwide can finally embrace the long-awaited redemption of Cyberpunk 2077 as the title achieves "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam. Remarkable for a game initially plagued with bugs and issues at its 2020 launch, developer CD Projekt Red's unwavering efforts to revamp Cyberpunk 2077 has ultimately paid off. Recent updates, including the substantial Patch 2.0 and the DLC Phantom Liberty, have been crucial in turning the tide of public opinion. Achieving the "overwhelmingly positive" status, especially after such a tumultuous journey, is not only an impressive feat but also signifies the return of player trust in the game and CD Projekt Red. The action-RPG now stands with 83% positive reviews from over 650,000 ratings, indicating a significant resurgence in its reputation that aligns more closely with the initially anticipated blockbuster experience.

What was the turning point for Cyberpunk 2077's improvement in reviews?

The turning point for Cyberpunk 2077's improvement in reviews was the release of Patch 2.0 and the DLC Phantom Liberty, which addressed many of the game's initial issues and markedly enhanced the overall gameplay and experience, leading to a surge in positive player feedback.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-RPG set in the dystopian metropolis of Night City, where players take on the role of V, a mercenary in search of a unique implant that is the key to immortality. Developed by CD Projekt Red, the same studio that brought us the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated games of the last decade, promising deep narrative choices, a vast world to explore, and cutting-edge visual fidelity. Despite a rocky start due to technical issues, especially on last-gen consoles, the game has now seen a significant revival post-launch, leading to its current status as a rehabilitated title with an active and satisfied player base.
