First, I want to give my honest rating for this game while considering the most important factors for me: that it’s a single-player experience, the price, and the amount of playable content.

As of writing this review, I’ve completed the game once with 38 hours played, and I can confidently say it was absolutely worth the price.

One of the strongest parts of the game is the characters. Every Alter has their own personality, background, struggles, goals, and opinions, which made interacting with them genuinely interesting throughout the entire playthrough. The story kept me hooked every step of the way, and the gameplay stayed engaging without becoming frustrating. I played on Medium difficulty, and it felt well balanced overall.

There were a few tasks that weren’t very clear at first, and sometimes the game could do a better job explaining certain objectives. However, after experimenting a bit, I was usually able to figure out what the game wanted me to do.

I can already see myself playing through the game at least two more times to unlock everyone’s stories and complete all the achievements. That said, I really wish the game included a New Game+ feature. Keeping research progress between playthroughs would make repeat runs even more enjoyable, especially since the Scientist ends up spending most of the game researching instead of contributing to other tasks.

Visually, the game looks fantastic. The graphics add a lot to the mystery and atmosphere, and the music at both the beginning and end of the game made everything feel even more epic. I really appreciate games that know how to set the stage like a movie before the adventure even begins.

Overall, I’d give The Alters a 7.9/10. I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone interested in a strong story-driven sci-fi experience, especially at $45 or less.

When Cyberpunk 2077 first launched, it was a game full of potential that struggled under the weight of expectations. Now, after years of updates and the incredible Phantom Liberty DLC, it has become one of the most immersive and rewarding RPG experiences I’ve ever played.

What really hooked me was the different endings. Every choice felt significant, and after finishing the game once, I couldn't resist jumping back in to see how things would play out with different decisions. Each ending added new layers to the story and characters, making Night City feel more alive than ever.

Then came Phantom Liberty, which wasn’t just a simple expansion—it was a full-blown upgrade to the game. The new district, Dogtown, was packed with intrigue, new mechanics, and some of the best storytelling in the game. Idris Elba’s performance as Solomon Reed added so much depth, and the spy-thriller narrative felt distinct from the base game while still fitting perfectly into the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

And the crazy part? I haven’t even scratched the surface of mods yet. The community has been pumping out incredible content that enhances visuals, adds gameplay tweaks, and even introduces new quests. With modding, my time in Night City is far from over.

If you were hesitant about Cyberpunk 2077 at launch, now is the time to dive in. Between multiple endings, the Phantom Liberty DLC, and the endless possibilities of modding, this game keeps pulling me back in—and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.

You know its one of those games you just keep coming back to every few month because there is nothing else like it. It feels a little unbalanced sometimes but very very fun still.
