Spoilers for the side quest "Chippin' In" and related optional quests.

Cyberpunk 2077 is kind of a mess. It's been on the receiving end of the internet's ire since its shambolic release—even on my beefy PC, the bugs and glitches put recent Fallout titles to shame, with developer CD Projekt Red's shenanigans with console review code just the cherry on top of this whole affair. People are rightly angry—and I still kinda had a blast with it. Breaking down one side mission in particular, I want to exemplify that while CDPR's business side might be in a turbulent state right now, the developers have lost none of the spark that made the side missions in The Witcher 3 so legendary.

Review code was sent to me on launch day, but I'd already bought the game by that point and with CDPR's review tomfoolery, I figured I'd rather not accept it. Basically my money was on the line here.
