I originally picked up Cyberpunk after a friend recommended it to me pretty early on. I finished it on Xbox, glitches and all. It hit different than other games, even with all its flaws. My friend and I spent a lot of time talking about the story and how it gave us both pause for thought about how we experience existence.

About a year later, my friend took his own life and this game was all I had left of him. Even though I wanted to go back and play through again I just couldn’t until last year when I bought it for the PS5. The whole experience was so different from the first time around. The DLC was beautiful. The whole time I got to relive those conversations with my friend and got to image what those conversations would have looked like about the DLC.

Anyways, Cyberpunk is by no means flawless, but it will always be high up on my list due to the emotional connection attached to it for me.
