The first-person perspective CD Projekt Red employs in Cyberpunk 2077 works pretty well – and a large reason why, according to Cyberpunk 2 creative director Igor Sarzyński, has to do with the game's overarching narrative design.
It's difficult to grapple with the first-person perspective if you're used to other games like The Witcher 3, in which you view things from a third-person point of view, but Sarzyński thinks it was the best option for Cyberpunk 2077.
"Purely from narrative design POV, I think subjective FPP works well with '77 story, genre, and world," Sarzyński says in a Bluesky post According to the developer, it pairs nicely with the whole… you know, being V thing.
