Our take
At a price of $69.99, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition feels a bit steep, especially given the mixed reception of its original release. However, this version on Switch 2 shows significant improvements that could justify the investment for new players. Fans of deep narratives and immersive worlds might find the new content and gameplay updates worth it.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on the Switch 2 aims to pull off what the original struggled with - creating a polished, engaging experience. The addition of Phantom Liberty adds depth, allowing for intricate storylines and character development, especially with Idris Elba's role as Solomon Reed. However, don’t expect cutting-edge graphics; while the performance is stable, it lacks the visual flair seen on more powerful platforms. The controls feel responsive, particularly with the new gyro aiming feature, which adds a layer of precision. Still, some performance hiccups and bugs detract from the immersion. If you can overlook these issues, there’s a compelling story here, albeit one that sometimes feels bogged down by its own ambition.
Pros
- The new Phantom Liberty expansion introduces gripping espionage elements with a fresh narrative twist.
- Performance on Switch 2 is surprisingly solid, maintaining around 30 FPS in most scenarios.
- New control schemes take advantage of the Switch 2's gyro features for aiming.
Cons
- Some lingering bugs from the original release have made their way into this version, distracting from the experience.
- Graphics are noticeably downgraded compared to high-end consoles, despite some improvements.
- Load times can feel a bit lengthy, especially when transitioning between areas.
You play as V, navigating a dystopian Night City with a mix of action and decision-making. The new Phantom Liberty content introduces infiltration mechanics, where stealth is sometimes just as crucial as gunplay. You'll interact with various factions, making choices that impact the story's outcome. Expect a blend of combat, dialogue trees, and exploration across a sprawling open world.
On Switch 2
Running on Switch 2, the game surprisingly delivers stable performance, hovering around 30 FPS in both handheld and docked modes. While the visuals are a notch below the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, the overall experience is still engaging, especially when played on the go. Controls are responsive and the gyro aiming works nicely, enhancing that first-person shooter feel.
Who it's for
This edition is for players who appreciate rich narratives combined with action, especially those who missed out on the original. If you're looking for cutting-edge visuals or a perfect bug-free experience, you might want to hold off.
