Even more than that, she's a good fighter and in top physical form even outside of the net. Lucy's childhood was rough, and she went through extensive training with Arasaka to become one of the best netrunners around. In fact, as a child, she was often forced to dive into the pre-DataKrash Net, a domain filled with all sorts of rogue AIs that would kill the other children in the program pretty often. However, Lucy made it out of there, escaped Arasaka, and ended up in Night City, eventually earning her spot as one of the city's best netrunners over

Despite not even being the heiress to the Arasaka throne, the sheer amount of power that Hanako wields is tremendous. Most people would argue that she has more sway over the corporation than Yorinobu. This can be seen firsthand if players decide to side with her near the end of the g

Upon entering the game for the first time, there’s a bit of a learning curve. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s super steep, but the interface can be a little overwhelming until you spend some time with it. There’s also often a vagueness in the narrative that takes some getting used to. However, I think this adds to the game’s immersive experience. You’re essentially a newcomer to the bordertown, tasked with somehow getting through the gate into Cincinnati. You’re not really given any direction and are left to figure things out on your own. This "picking yourself up by the bootstraps" experience forces you to be uncomfortable and confused at first, but eventually pays off as you learn the nuances of the g

There was so much excitement surrounding Fallout 76 , as all of the marketing leading up to the game made it look like one of the most exciting open worlds ever found in an RPG where choices really mattered . But the end result fell short of expectati

CD Projekt Red was able to do something that many developers wish to achieve: make a card game within their game that's fun enough for people to invest hundreds of hours into. From the Witcher games, Gwent was born and is one of the biggest deck-building virtual card games out there. Today, March 8, Gwent received its 8.3 update . Here's the full list of Gwent patch no

I’m sitting far enough back that I’m out of the crowd. Watching. Watching the line of people and vehicles as they wait at the border. Watching the Tower Group guards as they give the go-ahead to some to pass through the gate, forcing others – often physically – out of line and sending them wearily back to the bordertown; the badlands. They were probably mutants. Tower guards hate mutants. On the other side of the gate lies Cincinnati, now one of the only places in North America that’s hospitable enough to act as a major city – at least, as far as I’m aware right now. I’ve seen planes flying in and out of the city. There has to be somewhere else, ri

I continue to sit back and watch until an announcement comes over the gate’s loudspeaker that rudely informs everyone that the border is closed for the night and to come back tomorrow. Another typical day as I wait for my chance to get through the gate myself – or at least gain enough insight and information to find some other way to get on the other side of the w

The game was a buggy mess, and in the first week of its release, FO76 had two updates larger than the game itself . And that wasn’t even the worst part. Fans spent top dollar on the Power Armor Editions, which were supposed to come with a burlap backpack, but what fans got instead was a flimsy bag made out of Teflon that barely held toget

Though it might not be one of the worst games in the Cyberpunk 2077 collectibles genre , Cyberpunk 2077 had arguably the worst video game launch in history, but it isn’t the only one that has faced scrutiny upon release. Games developers tend to have really tight deadlines and employees can work 80 hour weeks when it comes to crunch time, but that’s still not necessarily enough to treat all of the b

This hasn't been confirmed in-game, but the sudden drop-off in population certainly supports this theory. Night City is full of such details, and players can learn about this tumultuous period in the series' history if they check out one of the many news broadcasts detailing out this st

When Rosalind Myers tried to federalize the free states during her reign as NUSA President, the ensuing opposition against this move led to a war between NUSA and the Free States, called the Unification War. This was a war where Militech and Arasaka flexed their muscles by opposing each other and supporting the two warring factions with their own state-of-the-art technol

New Lockdown aims at forcing the opponent to make uncomfortable decisions (like spending the leader ability in round 1) while still allowing for interactions. It opens multiple layers of depth, complimented by cards like Damien de la Tour or the new Anna Henrie

This is just one of the countless scenarios that you may find yourself in while playing Cyberpunkdreams – a free-to-play text-based role-playing adventure game from indie developer Late Night Games. Set in the 2090s, Cyberpunkdreams takes advantage of the current popularity of the cyberpunk genre, although the game has been in development since 2013. Each decision you make impacts your story within the world, and is uncompromising in its rewards and punishment system. I’m not someone who is generally a fan of text-based adventures, but Cyberpunkdreams is something special. It’s the most immersive experience I’ve ever had in a cyberpunk setting. The game has its hooks in me and won’t let go… not that I mind at this po
