I would say the music has personally impacted me the most. Even when I am not playing Cyberpunk 2077, I find myself still constantly listen to the songs that were created for the game. Listening to Samurai what really got me excited for the game at first after the announcement and when I found they used a band called Refused, I instantly had to seek them out and now they are one of my favorite bands of all time. At first I thought it was only the Samurai Songs but as I continued to explore I found so much more music than I realized. I was so impressed to see how much care went into the music. There are a lot of songs that just have passion in them and can you hit emotionally both in and outside the game. I really hope they bring the same quality of music with Phantom Liberty and I am holding out hope we get some more Samurai songs. Thank you guys for doing this and your consideration.

Personally, the element of Cyberpunk 2077 that has affected me the most is not something within the game, but the zeitgeist surrounding it. It's fascinating. A perfectly interesting world created by Mike Pondsmith, a studio coming right off the heels of a very successful Witcher 3; and then the reveal that Keanu Reeves is playing Johnny Silverhand? It was like detonating a singularity bomb onto a single game... that wasn't even out yet!

Throughout the game's two years of life, that zeitgeist is still persistent. Held up, largely, by the A-class job the art team has achieved - the game is a true spectacle to look at, and whatever the artists at Cd Projekt Red are being paid... they're worth every bit of it. Those who go back to Cyberpunk 2077 to play it for a second or third playthrough do so to enjoy the feeling of playing in the world they enter by loading up the game. And perhaps, they wish for more. There are times when this zeitgeist Cyberpunk has manifested outmatches what the game can actually deliver - I believe that every one of those Cyberpunk 2077 regulars wishes there was more in the game that could quench their thirst for more of the world they're so immersed in.

And hey! Perhaps the answer to their prayers is on the horizon. If Phantom Liberty can reverse the zeitgeist Cyberpunk 2077 had, and overdeliver after making mild promises; well, it might be something special. But for that to be known for sure... we'll just have to play it for ourselves and see, eh?

Cyberpunk 2077 has become so much more to me than just a game. It was an immersive, unique, and profoundly human
experience that allowed me to look deeper into myself and question what it means to be human and essentially what
I’d do to survive and save someone I love. Cyberpunk 2077 gave me experiences with wonderful realistic characters that develop and change over time. It proposed challenging existential choices and taught us to“Never stop fighting.”

Cyberpunk came to me in a personal time of uncertainty, frequent anxiety and insecurity, yet channeling myself into V’s experiences somehow reignited a fire inside of myself. Playing as V has inspired a braver, stronger more confident version of myself and I knew I wanted to continue her story through virtual photography, writing, art, video editing and cosplay. It brought me an exciting new joy I hadn’t felt in some time.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for Cyberpunk 2077 and hope it has many more stories to tell us!

I've been a fan of the cyberpunk genre pretty well my whole life. When the teaser dropped SO many years ago I knew this was going to be a game I needed in my life. When it did come out I grabbed it first on PS4 and stuck with it through 3 playthroughs. When I finally seen it on sale for PC I grabbed it. It has since become my favorite sandbox to play around in.

At some point however it stopped being a game with a story and became a "Life in Night City" simulator for my main V. With the help of mods I have been able to do pretty much anything I want. Especially staging photo opportunities

Hi, i want to enter the first contest, thank you

Cyberpunk  2077 has a lot of great things going for it such as the narrative and the music. The characters in this world feel authentic and believable and nobody's perfect.

I think the thing that's probably impacted me the most is all the friends i've made along the way since I started playing back when the game launched. The community has it's up's and down's but most of the people i've encountered are genuinely kind and chill to be around. I've made friends from all across the world and that's crazy to me considering this is an offline single player game.

One thing that took me by surprise was that this game introduced me to virtual photography and modding. If you combine the two then you're essentially in a position to craft your own little stories within N.U.S.A which is really satisfying. For instance, The Nomad lifepath and The Star ending is my favourite way to play the game so it's fun for me to imagine what happens after the ending (Example #1, Example #2).
