It ain’t a thing of beauty, but ‘Cyberpunk 2077′ eventually became a good game that knows how it got there. The game’s journey from a disastrous launch to a critically acclaimed experience is a testament to its developers’ commitment to improvement, even if the scars of its past remain.
While the initial release was marred by technical issues and unmet expectations, CD Projekt Red’s continuous updates and expansions, particularly the Phantom Liberty expansion, have significantly reshaped the player experience. The game’s evolution demonstrates a rare instance of a title fundamentally changing itself post-launch, addressing core gameplay mechanics, performance, and content.
However, as the article suggests, the game’s history, marked by its troubled debut, is an indelible part of its narrative. This legacy continues to inform perceptions, even as the gameplay itself has reached new heights. The transformation is undeniable, but the memory of its origins persists.
