I finished
Cyberpunk 2077 recently. I put close to 200 hours into it, did everything, checked out all endings, etc. It's hard to overstate what a monumental game it is. The gameplay's great, and manages to do great "immersive sim" stuff in an open world, but it's the narrative stuff that makes it truly special. The board game (which I wasn't familiar with beforehand) provided a great foundation for the world, but CDProjekt Red fleshed it out amazingly. The writing and acting is just incredible, and Keanu Reeves is so perfect as Johnny Silverhand that I'd say it's among his best performances as an actor.
I guess it's unfortunate it had so many problems at launch, but having waited until "v2.0" to get into it, I have to say it's a contender for "game of the decade". Gonna have to thank
@Walter for offering me the game, because otherwise I don't know if I would ever have played it (not being a Witcher fan).
Now I'm playing
Quantum Break from Remedy, another game I'd skipped (despite owning it) and it's better than I thought it'd be! I should have played it sooner.
That aside I've also been giving Rhombaad some competition: I had the time of my life replaying
Toejam & Earl on the Switch. Originally released on the Megadrive in 1991, it's a really unique game that I feel was both ahead of its time and is a great poster child for "all ages, wholesome videogames". It stars two funky aliens, the titular Toejam and Earl, who hail from planet Funkotron and end up stranded on Earth after Earl crashes their space ship into an asteroid while listening to sick tunes.
The game is composed of literal levels (floating in space) you have to ascend to using magic elevators, some of which feature a piece of your ship. It's a nonsensical fantasy landscape that's just fun, with a few types of terrain and a bunch of wacky enemies like little devils that sting your ass with their tridents, boogeymen who hide in the shadows, sharks in the water or crazed lawnmowing maniacs.
There's basically 25 levels that you have to explore to find pieces of the ship and then it ends. Can be played with one or two players, and you can explore a level separately if you want (but you need to link up to move up a level). You can fall off the edge of the map to the level below if you're not careful, and many enemies can push you off the edge.
Ideally it's best to avoid enemies and to get the upper hand you can use use presents that are lying around that give you random power ups (and sometimes penalize you). For example there's tomatoes which you can throw at enemies to make them disappear, or rocket shoes that make you zip across the map. You sometimes see Santa as he's dropping said presents (who then flies off on a jetpack). There's also a bunch of allies like a Valkyrie-like opera singer who can scream-kill all enemies on screen, an old man dressed as a carrot who can identify presents, etc. Oh and your character "levels up" by becoming progressively cooler, from a "wiener" to a "rapmaster".
Lastly, the game has procedural level randomization built in, so that it can stay fresh when you replay it. While playing I thought to myself they ought to remake or reboot it, because it's just so fun... And sadly, some shitty remake was indeed produced a few years back and it looks awful. Oh well, there's always the original. Go play it!
