If you’re here, you’re looking for the real Night City. Not the marketing hype, not the launch day drama, but the chrome-fueled RPG that lives and breathes on my hard drive. Cyberpunk 2077 is a universe where neon dreams are as beautiful as the streets are deadly, a place I keep returning to. 

This page is my central terminal, your one-stop datafort for every guide, mod list, and thought I’ve ever put together on the game. Just the preem stuff.

Night City, California. Year 2077. The world is broken. MegaCorps manage every aspect of life from the top floors of their sky-scraping fortresses. Down below, the streets are run by drug-pushing gangs, tech hustlers, and illegal braindance slingers. The in-between is where decadence, sex and pop culture mix with violent crime, extreme poverty and the unattainable promise of the American Dream.

Cyberpunk 2077 Review: Preem Chrome or Total Glitch?

CD Projekt Red had the budget, the talent, and the legacy of The Witcher 3 behind them. So what went wrong with Cyberpunk 2077? After spending over 200 hours in its world from the disastrous launch to the polished Phantom Liberty expansion, this review dissects the game’s evolution. It’s a story of redemption, but also one of compromise, highlighting a game that’s fun and visually stunning, yet falls short of the greatness it was destined for.

Guide: How Does the Cyberpunk 2077 Police System Work After Patch 2.0

The NCPD wanted system is one of those things that seems simple until you’re getting lit up by MaxTac at five stars wondering what the hell just happened. So let me break down everything about how police work in Cyberpunk 2077, what triggers them, how those wanted stars escalate, and most importantly – how to actually survive when things go sideways.

Guide: How to Buy Cars Cheap and Unlock Vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077

I’ve learned the hard way that dropping 1.5 million eddies on vehicles is kinda stupid when you can get most of what you need for free. And yeah, I know the feeling – scrolling through Autofixer, seeing that €$155,000 Rayfield Aerondight, thinking “maybe just this one.” Don’t. There’s a better way.

Stealth in Cyberpunk 2077 has become my second favorite way to approach combat. The satisfaction of clearing an entire building without anyone knowing you were there? That’s the stuff. This guide covers everything from basic crouch mechanics to advanced cyberware optimization…

How to Install Cyberpunk 2077 Mods

Look, the vanilla game is good. But modded? Modded Cyberpunk 2077 is what it was always meant to be. This is where you fix the things that feel a little… off, and add the chrome that CDPR left on the cutting room floor.

Modding Night City can seem intimidating, but it's easier than outsmarting a Maelstrom ganger. My guide walks you through the essentials, from setting up core tools like Cyber Engine Tweaks to managing your load order so the whole thing doesn't crash and burn. I learned this stuff through trial and error so you don't have to.

Top Johnny Silverhand Themed Mods For Phantom Liberty DLC

Johnny Silverhand. The ghost in the machine, the rockerboy legend who just won’t shut up. Love him or hate him, he’s a permanent resident in V’s head for most of the game. While you can’t evict him, you can change his look, his clothes, and even his voice.

Weather Mods For Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

In vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 you get the same acid rain, the same blinding sun, day in and day out. If you’re tired of the predictable forecast and want to give the city’s atmosphere a serious jolt, you’ve landed in the right spot.

Must-Have Implant Mods For Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

Night City is always evolving, and so should your V. If you’ve been feeling like your chrome is getting a little… standard, you’re in the right place. These mods introduce entirely new systems and implants that CDPR probably never even dreamed of.

Cyberpunk 2077 Mission & Quest Mods Compatible With Patch 2.3 And Beyond

You’ve finished the main storyline, cleared every fixer gig, maybe even gotten all the endings (yeah, that was fun), and now Night City feels a bit… empty. I get it. The vanilla content runs out faster than eddies on a corpo shopping spree, and suddenly you’re left wandering the streets looking for something that’ll give you that same rush you had during your first encounter with Dex or that emotional gut-punch from Judy’s questline.

Best Cyberpunk 2077 Tattoo Mods That Still Work

The ripperdoc tattoo selections feel like they were designed by someone who’s never actually seen body art. I’ve spent way too many hours testing these mods (my V has had more ink changes than a tattoo artist’s portfolio), and some of these designs are honestly better than what you’d find in most AAA games.

Best Cyberpunk 2077 Weapon & Gun Mods For Phantom Liberty

I’ve been running around Night City with modded weapons for the past few months, and honestly? The difference between vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 gunplay and what these weapon modifications deliver is night and day. CD Projekt Red did a lot right with patch 2.0, but the combat still has this… weird disconnect.

This is a curated list of my favorite mods is available here. These are the game-changers I refuse to play without. I’m talking about nova mods that overhaul combat, add legendary new cyberware, fix that gonk-brained driving, and make the city feel truly alive.

The Complete Night City Archive

At the end of the day, Cyberpunk 2077 is special to me because it’s one of the few games that feels like a place. A dark, cynical, but weirdly hopeful place that I love to get lost in.
