Cyberpunk 2077 stands as a game that, surprisingly, stood the test of time (even after the frankly disastrous launch). Still, there is an aspect of the game that is rarely talked about that I wish to discuss in today's video - the fleeting reality of the genre. In this video, I will explore how the game presents ephemerality, mainly through the narrative, recapping my thoughts on the game and exploring how this thread is followed into Phantom Liberty, then concluding on how Cyberpunk 2077 uses this idea of impermanence.

Welcome back to another video! Didn't think I would be able to make this so soon honestly but here we are :D, I know this video was technically meant to be Fear and Hunger, but honestly, that video is going to take so long to make so I am still gonna work on it but still try and maintain these weekly shorter videos - burnout be damned :). But yeah, I do hope you enjoy today's video, and if you do make sure to like and subscribe, and once again, I shall see you in the next video!
