The latest update to Cyberpunk 2077 has sparked a wave of discussion on Reddit, with many users expressing their positive experiences. One user, who goes by the name of Blitzqeri, shared their experience after picking up the game on sale. They were initially drawn to the game for its cyberpunk aesthetic and were pleasantly surprised by the gameplay and story. They particularly enjoyed the variety of fighting types and weapons, as well as the quick hacking feature, which they likened to magic in a cyberpunk setting.

Another user, InertiaInMyPants, also had positive things to say about the game. They played it when it first came out and started a second run recently. They believe the game is worth more than its sale price and compared it to what they imagined GTA 6 would be like if it was set in the future.

However, not all users share these positive sentiments. Some users are still skeptical about the game’s improvements and are waiting for further updates before diving back in. Another user suggested waiting for the base game to be completely reworked.
