澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty isn't a horror game, which is precisely why one uncharacteristically terrifying missi🐼on is catching so many unsuspecting players off guard.

The mission is titled Somewhat Damaged, and it indeed temporarily transforms Cyberpunk 2077 into a full-fledged survival horror game in the same vein of Alien Isolation. The🐼 mission gives you the unenviable task of navigating an abandoned base and evading a terrifying spider robot without any weapons to fight back with. 

The brilliant thing is that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red hasnꦏ't done any marketing or alerted players to the mission in any way, making everyone entirely unprepared for its horrors.

"Didn’t realise I downloaded a fucking horror game," reads the title of a thread in the Cyberpunk s♔ubreddit with almost 500 upvotes at the time of writing.

"CDPR straight up said: We'll make♛ꩵ Alien Isolation 2 ourselves," reads an amusing comment from Redditor . "I've rarely had my buttcheeks more clenched than during this mission."

"Yeah, the Killing Moon might be my favorite route and mission but HOLY SHIT did this not miss either!" says . "I was shook, on the edge of my seat, and paranoid as hell. Only Alien Isolation made me this afraid, so great job Cyberpunk. I also realized how crippling it was to not be able to use my Sandevistan to escape from this thing, either. Tꦚhe t💃error was real."

"Chase me with zombies, monsters, aliens, hell even a lawn mower. No biggie. You start chasing me with a killing machine though? Straight up goosebumps and I’m full on crying in the fetal position. And I did. And I LOVED it!" says Hydrus-606. "It gave me full on Death Machine vibes," they add, clearly a p༒erson of taste.

"Lmao, so stressful. I’m about to do a new playthrough of t💮he EP and am already dreading this since i’ll probably have a heart attack this time," says .

Forget the great 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Phantom Liberty reviews, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the brilliance of Idris Elba, and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:p𝓀ot𒐪ential Cyberpunk 2077 sequel teaser, the sole reason I now have to play this long-awaited expansion is this one mission. Alien Isolation is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror games ever, so the factꦡ that it's been invoked so many times in this mission's discussion is testament e♏nough for me.

Thinking of giving it a try yourself? Here's a quick guide on Cyberpunk 2077 and how to get started with Phantom Liberty.

After earning an Engl⛎ish degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
