The video game medium must have representatives who will push it forward. Titles like COD, Battlefield, FIFA, DOOM, Fortnite, Quake, Candy Crush, racing games etc. will not help video games to be taken seriously like good movies. These are just "games" where the sole focus is on points like having fun or winning. Similar to real card games or football. It's just entertainment and nothing of artistic value. Lukely, there are games like Cyberpunk 2077. I played it for a month and a half and I'm thrilled.
If one takes a closer look at the game design and many other points, Cyberpunk 2077 is brilliant. Almost every aspect of Cyberpunk 2077 is realised excellently, making it one of the best video games of all time.
The concept, the game world, the story aspects, the gameplay aspects, how everything interlocks, it's masterful and clearly the work of one of the best studios in the world. Never before has there been such an outstandingly designed, dense, atmospheric, vivid and immersive game world as in Cyberpunk 2077. This is combined with a game quality and scope that is unparalleled.
Immersion is Cyberpunk 2077s greatest strength which is why it is such an exceptional title as a video game. It's almost like playing a VR game. The story is told with interactive language. There is constant interactivity and you are never pulled out by cutscenes. Cyberpunk 2077 is a pure video game unlike almost all other AAA titles. This is possibly the best storytelling a first-person game has ever seen and all with gameplay. The way video games should be! I've been saying that for decades! Movies are for cutscenes. In a game they break the immersion.
First-person shooters have a hard time combining their game mechanics with a good plot. In Cyberpunk 2077, these mechanics, the game world and the plot are in harmony. Nothing stands out and crowds out the other points. The plot, characters, game world and game mechanics flow seamlessly into each other. The overall picture is perfect. The game mechanics and the game world even help to tell the story even better. The prologue alone impressively demonstrates how outstandingly well-made video games can be because of its virtuosity.
We are lucky to have experienced such a video game. There will not be too many games with such genius. It is simply one of the best games ever made. A must-have game for anyone who appreciates this medium.
