I've started looking into Cyberpunk.

The thing has been out since the '80s, it's almost as old as D&D, and there's only 26 products on the official site, most of which don't even seem to be adventures...

I'll take a closer look and report back.

I found these two videos that summarize the history and lore of Cyberpunk from its inception up until the 2020 edition (the last one which precedes the 2077 CRPG). Both videos together take an hour and a half to watch. I didn't expect them to grab my attention for long but I ended up watching them in their entirety.

Cyberpunk 2077 is not a CRPG. Baldur's Gate is a CRPG. Does Cyberpunk 2077 feel like Baldur's Gate to you? When you want to use a genre label, think first of whether the game you are applying it to feels like other games in the genre. If it doesn't, it's the wrong label.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world game. It probably isn't even in the same genre as Witcher 3, though I would have to play both to be sure.

Thanks for the videos, they seem very interesting, I'll take a look.

I am not sure if I should read this. It seems to have a lot of encyclopedic knowledge in it, but he turned me off at the start when he said some homosexual stuff.
