You can sneak up and disable an enemy, allowing you to hack into them and breach the local area network, opening doors and wreaking havoc.Ī few other interesting odds and ends: the inspection system that allows you to pore over a 3D model of an object to look for clues the fluid character class system that allows you to tailor your play style via cybermodifications and drugs the characters and concepts that bring Night City to life.īut I have to stop somewhere. There’s a stealthier side to combat, too. I got a look at an enemy-tracking smart rifle, forearm-mounted Mantis blades, a “tech shotgun” that could penetrate walls, and a “ricochet targeting system” that made shooting around corners easy. That’s a big compliment: Deus Ex is still a cutting-edge RPG, with its emphasis on true role playing and player empowerment.ĬD Projekt Red promises “hundreds of different weapons” in the final game, bolstered by a deep customization system. While talking, you can drive the story forward quickly, or linger on questions to learn more about the game’s universe.Īs the demo continued, I found myself comparing Cyberpunk 2077 less with The Witcher 3, and more with the first Deus Ex. Like The Witcher 3, conversation remains a major component of character interactions, but here a streamlined interface clarifies the flow. A fun touch: in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, style is just as important as raw combat stats, so donning a cool outfit can grant you unique benefits and boost your street cred. Take V’s apartment, which you can visit between missions to spend your ill-gotten gains, select weapons and gear, and equip armor. The game takes great pains to make players feel grounded in Night City. It’s like Blade Runner meets Altered Carbon meets Mad Max. Whether you’re creeping through a bombed-out squatter’s den, prowling the freeway in a souped-up car, or infiltrating a shadowy gang lair, the game’s vision shines in vibrant detail. The game’s alternate timeline means advanced gadgetry coexists with anachronistic technology like newspapers and telephones.
In every sequence I saw, Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City radiated grimy, lived-in authenticity. But the real star here is Night City, a sprawling supercity where high-end cybermodifications represent the height of consumer capitalism, and citizens include body-snatching scavengers, corporate thugs, and augmented posthumans. You play as V, an urban mercenary who executes the dirty work nobody else will do.
