I'm glad the PSN account situation is sorted. Now, let's sort out your community manager problems. To begin, fire your disgusting, agenda-driven Community Managers. They're vile, condescending people and hate gamers and anyone else who doesn't like their brand of invasive, destructive, and “progressive” politics. It’s disgusting to see people like that "in charge" of fostering a community!

Also, fix the known list of bugs… that list has been only getting bigger with new updates.

The Ascent is a really cool isometric looter shooter that can be experienced as a single-player or coop campaign. The cyberpunk setting and aesthetic make it stand out among other such games. However, the devs try every dirty trick in the book regarding enemy scaling, enemy ambushes, and boss fights. Still, there's an achievement for dying 100 times, so it seems to be an intentionally tedious design choice. It won't annoy you as much once you get used to the dirty tricks, especially later in the game, once you can access higher-quality augments and tactical accessories to counter mobs of enemies.

I experienced quite a few crashes during my 40-hour playthrough. All in all, it's not bad for an indie studio's first outing. I give the game a 7/10 (including the cyber heist DLC). It's worth playing at least once if you can get it on sale.

After three years of patching and one expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 (patch 2.1) is finally a convincing simulacrum of the RPG it was meant to be from what was shown off during the 2018-2019 marketing phase. Post-patch 2.0, gameplay is addictive. Despite all the nerfs and re-balancing, the revamped Character progression and skill system are excellent, and combat hacking is still the most fun I've had in a game in the last six years.

As for the game's story, most of your choices don't matter for the main story, but the game does well in fooling you into thinking that you're making essential choices. There are four or five critical choices in the game that alter the world state or the main narrative to some degree. Two of those crucial choices were added in with the Phantom Liberty Expansion. For the most part, your journey will be riddled with false choices (main story), resulting in varying tragedies. The game heavily relies on tugging on your heartstrings (a bit too much) rather than heavily playing into the various corporate conspiracies and world events unraveling in the background, which are far more interesting than the game's main story. Thankfully, the Deus Ex games scratch that itch so well.

TL;DR: Cyberpunk 2077 is an 8/10 game after three years of patching, but it still isn't the "RPG" that the false advertising made it out to be during the 2018-2019 marketing phase. If you can pick up the Ultimate Edition on sale, you'll enjoy it.

This version of the game is visually stunning, but it's a complete deviation from the original's artistic style. There is also a lot of noticeable pop-in happening everywhere because Private Division hasn't optimized the game properly. I didn't experience any technical issues, but after playing for a while, the frame-rate dips. It can be fixed by restarting the game, but it's too annoying to do every time. Sadly, I cannot recommend this "remaster."

A serene city-builder game with an exp-based progression system that unlocks new buildings, starting perks, and playable areas. A must-buy for all city-builder fans.

V Rising is a very soothing vampire RPG. There is much to explore, kill, craft, and build, and it's twice as fun with friends. The soundtrack is exquisite. It's a beautiful 10/10 game that I would recommend to all bloodsuckers.

Excellent souls shooter to play with friends.
Pro Tip: Don't hug immolators, and shoot your friends when they're not looking.

Very good turn-based RPG. Buy it and play it.

It has a deep learning curve but it's fun to play once you learn the basics and get past the inevitable false starts.

It's alright. Gameplay is okay but the gunplay is mediocre compared to the previous game.
