Writers, illustrators, architects, and political radicals have eagerly embraced the nascent solarpunk genre as an optimistic alternative to the gloomy, polluted sprawls of cyberpunk and the "everything has a cogwheel" decor of steampunk. Additionally, many Afrofuturist creatives have adopted trappings of the solarpunk genre to build hypothetical worlds where futuristic technology mingles with traditional African architecture, artwork, and fashion, as is seen in the fictional country of Wakanda from Black Panther . In short, solarpunk is shaping up to be the new big thing - not just for books and movies, but for video games,

The Quadra Type-66 Wingate is a very versatile vehicle that boasts a high speed that beats out the competition. This vehicle has Aldecaldo decals and a workshop manufacturing that makes it ideal for off-roading and combat, as an armored hide means it can tank a decent amount of explosives and bullets to the wheels, aided even further by the mounted turrets for firepower . Aside from protection, this vehicle boats 185 MPH at max speed, and can reach 60 MPH in just 2 seconds to prove how it has stellar acceleration for a car built for survival in the Badla

The politics of Cyberpunk 2077 are quite obvious, and it is rather clear that the government cannot be trusted, yet, is Songbird any different? If players are to conclude the Phantom Liberty storyline on NUSA’s side, despite Johnny Silverhand’s desperate plea to find another way, then they could be making the biggest mistake of V’s l

Many of the problems in the modern world can be solved; brilliant scientists, activists, and social reformers across the world have been innovating practical, compassionate solutions to problems like poverty, inequality, prejudice, police brutality, and environmental damage. True, implementing these solutions on a large scale will take hard work, investment, and far-reaching changes to the structure of societies, but it can be done, as long as people believe it can. And what better way to inspire people to work towards better worlds than by creating simulations of these better worlds for them to explore and experiment w

True solarpunk video games wouldn't just bombard players with images of moss-covered buildings and rooftop gardens. They would also include gameplay that demonstrates the social ideas associated with solarpunk: direct democracy and consensus-building; smaller, worker-controlled businesses; restorative justice; demilitarization; DIY manufacturing; workshop-based education; the embracing of diversity; etc. Whether as civilization sims in which players try to build a sustainable utopia or as RPGs with a particular emphasis on non-violent problem solving, solarpunk video games, if done well, could give gamers and the people in their lives a reason to hope their future won't be a carbon copy of **Cyberpunk 2077

Johnny Silverhand’s first impressions are filled with assault, verbal abuse, and a threat to kill one’s self. It’s safe to say that Silverhand and V do not get on the best of terms with their first impressions, but maybe in V’s weakest moments, it’s time to listen to what Johnny has to say. The Tapeworm main job takes place during four main j

CD Projekt Red was giving in-depth details on how its upcoming game was being developed and what content was going to be there at launch. All of this information was being presented well before the game itself was actually in the hands of the players. Pair that with its extensive gameplay trailers, and it was almost as if you already knew how Cyberpunk 2077 was going to p

But worst of all, it felt as though CD Projekt Red was playing consumers for fools. Of course, I don't know the inner workings of the company or what talks were like surrounding its release. However, there were clear internal decisions made there to deceive customers. CD Projekt Red joint CEO Adam Kicinski even said in an earnings call on November 25 that the game ran "surprisingly good" on last-gen consoles. When the time came for the developer to start handing out review codes to the press, they were solely for PC, assumedly because the game ran best on that platform . Console players picking up Cyberpunk 2077 Story Guide 2077 on launch day had no proper metric to judge the game by except for CD Projekt Red's own marketing materials, and those promises could never be fulfil

Kerry's announcement collab with Us Cracks sees V turn up to a media event. V can head to the right to push through the crowd and interrupt the interview with Kerry, and give a comment to a journalist: It's... simply legendary. That's all I got to say. Now, Kerry will take V to the rooftop for a heartfelt conversation. This is the important part in Kerry's relationship quest , where players can decide if they want to romance Kerry or not by selecting the following dialogue prompts:

The media people consume, whether in book, movie, or game form, has a huge influence on their personal beliefs and how they see the world. Dark, cynical works like Game Of Thrones , The Handmaid's Tale , or the Westworld TV adaptation are valuable cautionary tales - warnings of what will happen if humanity doesn't collectively get its act together. Without the counterbalancing narrative of more optimistic stories, though, it's easy for people to get the impression that it's impossible for society's problems to be solved (particularly if the revolutionary factions in these social commentary stories keep devolving into mass-murdering terroris
