My wife pointed out years ago that there are movies that I think are good that are good, and there are movies that I think are good because they perfectly align with my lived experience. River's Edge is an okay movie but it's a goddamn masterpiece if you were smarter than your burnout friends who committed crimes for fun and Ione Skye is your platonic ideal of womanhood. Cyberpunk 2077 is certainly the latter for me. But it's also what Witcher 3 would have been if everyone who worked on it had been waiting 30 years to show everyone how awesome these little-noticed Polish novels that got them all into game development in the first place are. If you haven't played Witcher 3, play Witcher 3. It's not at all essential but it's also an acknowledged masterpiece. The only reason I bring it up is that Cyberpunk 2077s basic mechanics and gameplay are Witcher 3's, perfected. Yet the former is a masterpiece while the latter is a cautionary tale. Reviewers hated Empire Strikes Back, too.
