Cyberpunk 2077

Have you lived the mean streets of Night City?

We've made it through another week, Watchers, and this lovely spring weekend the pollen isn't the only bright yellow thing that's caught our eye this week in gaming.

Happy Friday, Watchers!

To this day, I think about the ending cinematic in Diablo.

If for some reason I can't play any of my stable of current games — be it World of Warcraft or Diablo 4 or Starfield or Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty or Baldur's Gate 3 -- I always have something to fall back on.

With the new Phantom Liberty expansion coming to Cyberpunk 2077 alongside a free 2.0 update to the base game for everyone, it's fair to say that the game is getting a significant overhaul.

With Diablo 4 on the horizon, I find myself gripped by the certainty that if I read a negative review, or even a hundred negative reviews, my own experience playing the game in the Early Access, Open Beta, and Server Slam periods means that I know that those reviews would not convince me.

I can become more or less interested in a game based entirely on its story.

Game studio CD Projekt Red -- often abbreviated as CDPR by their many fans -- made a low key possible announcement of a huge slate of upcoming video games from their popular Witcher and Cyberpunk IPs, plus a few completely new surprises.

I tend to be a "deep-dive binge" kind of gamer.
