Or to be precise slightly better. For some users. Yes, CD Projekt Red, finally came up with patch 1.5 and... it’s still far, far, far from what was expected from the game.
With new patch available today for PC and consoles CD Projekt Red added new weapons to the game (two new weapons to be exact, three if you count throwing knife), few additional apartments that you can choose and redecorate, some technical fixes to crowd reactions and something that we all were waiting for - a mirror! And to quote classic - th... th... th... th... that’s all folks.
It took CDPR just slightly over 1 year to add some new features into their game and to be honest it’s hard to find players that would be impressed with size and content of the 1.5 update. Yes, it’s better than nothing, yes, it has made the game slightly better, yes, it contains some features that were promised years ago, but at the same time there is still long list of features missing from game 14 months after premiere. For example: non-laughable police system, chance to travel using trains, pedestrians that would make the city feel like living organism, most of the RPG options...
It’s nice they’ve done something, but at the same time they put the bar so low that doing anything would be better than what they did the whole last year. And taking under consideration that the average number of Cyberpunk 2077 concurrent players is way below 15 thousands throughout last 12 months it could be too little too late for the title to bounce back and be relevant again.

To no-one’s surprise another big title have just completely cyberpunked on the premiere - buggy, under-developed, remade to appeal to everyone. And ended up quickly forgotten. Yes, I mean Saints Row.
CD Projekt Red announced that they work on Witcher 4! And... that’s about it. No, I forgot, we now know the title! And that is really it.
After almost 2 years of empty promises and pointless roadmaps that never materialized it looks like CD Projekt RED finally gave up on saving the dumpster fire that Cyberpunk 2077 was. I mean they put up another patch.
Cyberpunk 2077, new game from CD Projekt Red studio, premiered on 10th December 2020 and, just like rest of the year 2020, it was a painful experience. Although after about 8 years in production developers made history, I don’t think that was the way they wanted to do it.
While there are dozens of smaller and bigger dramas going on right now, from Twitch questionable ideas, TwitchCon, Phasmophobia discord, Mizkif suspicions, cheating in chess and many, many more, there is one that is so stupid that it is hard to ignore.
This curious case is slightly different from previous ones - this time it is not a story of misguided decisions or strange perseverance... Although it might be, because this case is really, really curious.
Cyberpunk 2077, a game with one of the worst premieres in modern times, just became a Game of the Year! No, you didn’t wake up in some parallel universe, although... I’m not that sure to be honest...
Stalker 2 popped up in the news again, due to NFTs drama, but also exposed that nothing has changed in the world lately. Unfortunately.
