Cyberpunk 2077. Only game that touched me that deep so far (though not many games I have played)

Cyberpunk is the only game in recent memory where I felt like I was not playing into my interpretation of who I wanted the character to be, but rather who I wanted to be as V. Games like Red Dead 2 let me drive the character's outcome and I definitely has an emotional response to Arthur's journey (one of my favorite games of all time), but it felt like the character's story. Cyberpunk did a stellar job at making it feel like my story.

The game introduced the "immersive" term to me, better than any dictionary ever could

I think about CP77 to this day. I sometimes even miss Johnny. He's with you the entire time and it's a really fascinating bond to experience as a player.

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah. He is lying, confused and manipulative (at least in the beginning), but I do miss him

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Agreed. Thought about it for a while and I think that's the one that made me think the most.

Yea same, it was quite the ride. The writing/dialogue quality is so good I was entirely into it
