  1. This game got a lot of flak (not entirely undeserved), but this was easily one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. Music, visuals, story and characters, the whole setting and gameplay. All blew me away and I thought it was a masterful game. I’m excited for where they will take it with future updates and expansions. One of the few games that hit me emotionally like rdr2 and the mass effect trilogy did, and the music in this game was a huge reason for that

  2. Astounding soundtrack, I never thought there we be a score than could stand a chance against the most hyped OST of the year (2020), DOOM Eternal. Cyberpunk's was beyond incredible and the best part of the game for me.

  3. To anyone who bought the game on launch for PC, played a bit and haven't revisited since, how is it now? I was completely immersed with the gameplay at the time, just haven't been back to that well since.

  4. 28:46 There's nothing quite like the Scavenger Hunt music with Jackie. There's something about having some thumping edm playing from within the environment, rather than normal combat music that just feels like you're fighting while wearing headphones. Definitely near the top of my most immersive moments in gaming. I'd love to see this used more as acoustics in video game environments have improved a lot lately.

  5. Amazing and memorable music as always. It's a damn shame everyone's hard work had to be tainted by bad choices. You guys always go above and beyond. Your games deserve you but your board doesn't.
