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:

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Delamain refuses to deviate course to a ripperdoc, since that isn’t the route the client paid for. May be averted: Given his impressive medical knowledge, he may have just known Jackie was too far gone, and that getting his stable client to safety was the best option.
• Alternate Continuity: Shares a lot in common with the RPG, but also has a lot different.
• Asshole Victim: Dexter DeShawn backstabs the player, but still gets killed due to events set off by a death he was only tangentially involved in, and one that he didn’t want any part in either.
• Body Horror: Some of the cybernetic implants, but especially Maelstrom, since most of their face is replaced.
• Bouncer: Can be seen at clubs.
• Brain Uploading: The relic contains an engram of Johnny Silverhand.
• Bullet Time: There are ways to make the gameplay slow down a bit.
• 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.
• Coolest Club Ever: Jackie talks about the Afterlife bar like this, and in universe isn’t far off.
• 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.
• Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain: When it rains in Night City.
• 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.
• Establishing Character Moment: In the english version, Adam Smasher describes Evelyn as a "cut of fuckable meat" when he meets her on a flashback. From this single sentence, you can see he lacks any kind of etiquette or regard for human life.
• Evil Old Folks: Saburo Arasaka is in charge of one of the most powerful megacorps, and Jackie comments that he’s 150 years old.
• Expansion Pack: The Phantom Liberty DLC.
• Hollywood Hacking: Quick Hacks
• Industrial Ghetto: Parts of Night City.
• Mega Corp: Quite a few in the setting. Arasaka is the most prominent example, but there are others such as Militech.
• Mission Control: T-Bug, while infiltrating the hotel and the events leading up to it.
• Multiple Choice Past: The player can choose one of three Lifepaths for V, each of which unlocks some unique sidequests and dialogue options.
• No-Tell Motel: With the name No-Tell Motel.
• Nuke'Em: Johnny Silverhand did this to Arasaka Tower, dropping a duffle bag sized device down an elevator shaft.
• Obvious Beta: The initial release was deeply flawed, to say the least.
• Scenery Porn: The layout and architecture of Night City are fleshed out, featuring vibrant and distinct areas.
• Video Phone: Comms display a picture of the contact.
