This includes those who assumed that sex scenes would just get skipped over because of the game’s first-person perspective.
Storyline
In terms of length, the main story progression of Cyberpunk 2077 will be a little shorter than in The Witcher 3, but the developers explained that it’s much higher replayability makes up for it.
The Witcher 3’s quest structure was quite linear, with a bunch of branches sticking out of it that sometimes related back to that single line.

Health will be able to be restored by using consumables like food, or an inhaler.
Some of these items will have an instant healing effect, while others will just slowly restore health over time or work only under right circumstances.
The development team are aiming to make car physics somewhere between simulator level and GTA V’s arcade-esque driving experience.
Reaching the borders of the playable world will work the same way as in The Witcher 3, so you are informed about getting close to it before the game forcefully turns you back.
Police won’t intervene when they see you committing smaller crimes because they treat it as just an everyday occurrence in Night City.

However, shooting a bystander or driving into a crowd of people will not end well for you.
Players will also be able to destroy around 75% of the assets surrounding them, but obviously won’t be able to destroy a district.
