I'm still working through Phantom Liberty. It's so well done, a step up even from the original game.

I'm quite sad that Cyberpunk 2077 is all done now, but I'm excited that they have started production on the sequel. Say what you will about CDPR and how they botched the launch of CP2077, they game as it stands now is fantastic and probably one of my favorite games of the last decade.

On the side, I've been playing a fun little indy twin-stick shooter rogue-lite called "Shape Shifter: Formations". I tend to pick up a lot of these kinds of rogue-likes... they're generally dirt cheap so it doesn't take many hours of fun to feel like I got my money's worth. I'm 20 hours into this one so far... $6 well spent!

    Among other things, it sounds like Cyberpunk had a lot of technical debt that they struggled to overcome, hence the move to Unreal engine going forward. With the lessons learned from the last one, they're surely on to bigger and better things with the sequel, maybe even the multiplayer they cut from 2077. I think Baldur's Gate 3 has shown how much hunger there is for a proper co-op mode in an RPG.

    Just finished CP myself yesterday, with a 9 hour push through the "final day". I had previously in my run rejected the (possible) helpful offer at the end of Phantom Liberty to find my own solution to my problem and, after spending far too much time debating over a single dialog choice, I settled on one that lead to a satisfactory, if bitter-sweet, conclusion.

    The sense of finality was quite profound and pleasing. I have no wish to play my V anymore, as I think their story is done. While this means I may never revisit NC again (which makes me a little sad), I can live with that. I guess I can look forward to CP: Boston in 10 years :-).
