Cyberpunk 2077 is a Role-Playing Game developed by CD Projekt Red and based off of the Cyberpunk RPG. Released turbulently in 2020 after years of hype, a number of patches have since improved the game.

You play in first-person view as "V", a customizable former (depending on the Multiple Choice Past) Corpo, Nomad, or Streetkid turned mercenary in Night City, North America. When a heist to steal an experimental biochip from the Arasaka Corporation Goes Horribly Wrong, he/she awakens with the Virtual Ghost of infamous Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves) in his head, and must hurry to get to the bottom of things before time runs out.

Tropes used in Cyberpunk 2077 include:
  • Alternate Continuity: Shares a lot in common with the RPG, but also has a lot different.
  • The City Narrows: Some areas of Night City have a bad reputation, even for Night City.
  • City of Adventure: Night City is the focal point of the game.
  • Combat Medic: The player can encounter Trauma Team very early on. Even though they’re helping the same person, it doesn’t stop them from keeping a gun trained on the player once the body is laid down in the stretcher.
  • Cyberpunk: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, megacorps hold huge influence, technology is massively improved, but not in ways that benefit the average joe.
  • Cyborg: Cybernetic implants are extremely common.
  • Development Hell: Had a long and storied development.
  • Divided States of America: The New United States of America is fractured.
  • Dystopia: There are massive societal problems that aren’t being addressed anytime soon.
  • Expansion Pack: The Phantom Liberty DLC.
  • Hollywood Hacking: Quick Hacks
  • Mega Corp: Quite a few in the setting. Arasaka is the most prominent example, but there are others such as Militech.
  • Multiple Choice Past: The player can choose one of three Lifepaths for V, each of which unlocks some unique sidequests and dialogue options.
  • Obvious Beta: The initial release was deeply flawed, to say the least.
