**Cyberpunk** is a sci-fi subgenre, and one of its most notable video games is *Cyberpunk 2077*, developed by CD Projekt Red. Here's a brief summary of the game:
### **Setting**
The game takes place in **Night City**, a sprawling, futuristic metropolis in the year 2077, dominated by towering skyscrapers, neon lights, and a stark divide between wealth and poverty. The world is filled with advanced cybernetic technology, and many characters have augmented bodies. Corporate greed, crime, and technological dystopia are central themes, reflecting the broader "cyberpunk" aesthetic.
### **Story**
You play as **V**, a mercenary whose character can be customized in terms of appearance, background, and skills. After a heist gone wrong, V becomes implanted with a biochip that contains the digitized consciousness of **Johnny Silverhand**, a rebellious rock star played by Keanu Reeves. The biochip threatens to overwrite V's consciousness, leading to a complex struggle for control over V's body.
Throughout the story, V navigates the dangerous world of Night City, working for various factions, and trying to remove the biochip while also dealing with the looming presence of Johnny Silverhand, who has his own goals.
### **Gameplay**
*Cyberpunk 2077* is an open-world RPG featuring:
- **First-person perspective** with immersive storytelling.
- A mix of **gunplay, hacking, stealth, and melee combat**.
- **Skill trees** and character customization, including hacking abilities, weapon specialization, and body augmentations.
- Side quests that explore the deeper lore of Night City, its factions, and the personal stories of its inhabitants.
### **Themes and Aesthetics**
- **Cybernetic Augmentation**: Many characters in the game are augmented with tech, which blurs the line between human and machine.
- **Corporate Dystopia**: Megacorporations control the city, exploiting the lower classes, and wielding immense power over society.
- **Rebellion and Freedom**: Themes of resistance against oppressive systems, particularly through Johnny Silverhand’s narrative, who was once a revolutionary figure.
### **Reception**
Upon release in December 2020, *Cyberpunk 2077* received praise for its world-building, story, and characters, but was criticized for its technical issues, particularly on older consoles. Despite its rocky launch, the game has since seen multiple patches and updates to improve stability and gameplay mechanics.
The game also has a standalone expansion titled **Phantom Liberty** and an anime series titled **Cyberpunk: Edgerunners**, which expands the lore and universe of the game.
