The video review discusses the development and release of the game Cyberpunk 2077, and how it has evolved since its initial release in 2020. The reviewer notes that the game had a tumultuous journey, with numerous delays and controversies surrounding its development.
The game was initially released on less powerful hardware, such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which led to numerous technical issues and a lack of the game's promised features. The reviewer criticizes CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, for releasing the game on outdated hardware and showcasing deceptive advertising that hid the game's true performance on current-generation systems.
However, CD Projekt Red has since released an update, Cyberpunk 2.0, which addresses many of the issues present in the original game. The reviewer notes that the update has significantly improved the game's performance and added many of the features that were promised but missing in the initial release.
The Cyberpunk 2.0 update has also improved the game's AI, graphics, and gameplay mechanics. The reviewer commends the update for adding car chases, shooting guns from a car, and enhancing enemy AI. The game's skill system has also been reworked, with fewer perks to unlock but each having a greater impact on gameplay.
The reviewer also notes that the game's difficulty level is no longer dependent on the area of the game world the player is in, which they find disappointing. They also mention that the game's traffic density has been improved, which they appreciate for the added level of immersion.
