Almost three and a half years have passed since the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.. For many, it was the most anticipated start to 2020, despite the fact that there were already signs that caused disbelief. The massive marketing campaign, the anticipation created by the previews, the inspiration in Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red… there were many reasons why the general public (myself included) got carried away with expectations.

Surely you remember what followed, a rather lackluster debut on PC due to the presence of quite a few bugs and the lack of some elements that should have been there (such as the subway system and the high density of “life”. » in vertical buildings), but which culminated (for the worse, of course) in the previous generation of consolesversions that, it turns out, should never have made it to market.

So the outlook for the beginning of 2021 was like this we faced one of the biggest fiascos in video game history, because such a disaster seemed difficult to repair. However, CD Projekt RED confirmed that its plans included a turnaround to fix everything that could be fixed, and while this meant canceling the multiplayer mode, planned for later, it marked the start signal for an update plan aimed at fixing the problem first. problems and later improve Cyberpunk 2077 in many aspects.

So what started as a failure completed its journey of redemption with the arrival of the 1.5 update and with it a version optimized for the current generation of consoles, the moment from which he began to truly rewrite his historythis time, yes, as a great game, with a sensational technical account, which, although it could not fulfill everything that was originally promised, managed to earn the forgiveness of many initially disappointed players and also attract new players who did. they weren’t initially interested, or that they ruled it out due to bad reviews.

As a result of this development, and as we can see in his file in the store, Recent reviews of Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam have already reached the coveted “extremely positive”a rating that is not easy to obtain and which undoubtedly brought great joy to those responsible for the game, as we can see in the tweets like this. It is true, yes, that it would have taken less time to get this rating if its launch had been delayed until its development was more mature, but on the other hand, it allowed us to write a story that, at some points, goes from extreme to extreme.
