Three years on from a legendarily catastrophic launch that jeopardized CD Projekt Red's once-sterling reputation, Cyberpunk 2077 has completely turned it around. After failing to nab a Game Award for its initial launch (eligible at the 2021 TGA), Cyberpunk took home an award for Best Ongoing Game at this year's show.
Now, I always loved this game, but it's come a long damn way since December 2020. While a lot of attention gets paid to the game's performance uplift and many bug fixes, the way it's evolved mechanically has always stuck with me the most. First, it was welcome touches like armor transmog, added quests, and expanded text conversations in 2021, but this year's 2.0 update blew everything out of the water.
