Next up is by far the most 'professional' person on David's crew and the love of his life, Lucy AKA Lucyna Kushinada. Lucy is the netrunner of the crew and a fantastic one at that.

The world of RPGs is incredibly varied -- especially when it comes to the ones made by western developers. Many western titles are a breath of fresh air for players who want a break from grindy JRPGs as Western RPGs often focus on unique settings.

Horizon Zero Dawn begins with Aloy, an outcast of her tribe who exists in a world inhabited by both robots and humans. After her tribe is slain by cultists, she goes on an adventure and begins to piece together the truth of her birth and what happened to the world around her.


Phantom Liberty 's narrative is as riveting as anyone would expect from a DLC by CD Projekt Red. Not only is this DLC properly woven into the central narrative of Cyberpunk 2077 , but it also enables a new ending if V plays their cards right. During Phantom Liberty , one major character that plays a central role in the narrative is Song So Mi, an accomplished netrunner known by the alias Songb

The sheer amount of power Alt has as an AI shouldn't be underestimated, especially since the world of Cyberpunk 2077 relies on the Net and everything connected to it.
