![]() ![]() Why? So that you can feel as overwhelmed and intimidated as every other dreamer else in Night City. ![]() However, the degree of immersion in Cyberpunk extends past that of other video games, in that is essential that you see the world from the perspective of your character. It is absolutely possible to become immersed in a narrative from a third-person perspective, as The Witcher 3 is one of the most highly immersive games I’ve ever played. This is one of the many reasons as to why the game is better in first-person than it would have been in third-person-character customization is one thing, but immersion is another thing entirely. This makes the game’s sensory overload, produced by the combination of its aesthetic and soundtrack, all the more important, as it accurately depicts what it would be like to live in Night City. There is nothing for anyone in Night City, except the promise of a chance, even if it is only a small one. The American Dream is the dream to get out, to break free. Society may seem to have progressed in every conceivable way, from technology to medicine, yet it has lost its sense of humanity. Even in a gone-to-shit world, the American Dream is alive and kicking. Night City’s grit is defined by its dreamers, who refuse to be pulled down. The middle contains the dreamers, those who will stop at nothing to earn themselves a position in the upper echelons of a broken society. The middle juxtaposes the two-the crime from below has a presence, but the lights above seem within reach, if only barely. At the top, MegaCorp pulls the strings at the bottom, gangs and mercenaries form a lawless society of violence and crime. ![]() The neon skyline of Night City is deceptive to the faraway eye, though, as it hides the city’s darkest secrets, only knowable if you’re in the thick of the chaos. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a Blade Runner-esque dystopian future. ![]()
