Cyberpunk 2077 has been causing quite a stir in the gaming community, with its futuristic setting and immersive gameplay. However, one mission in particular is taking players by surprise, transforming the game into a spine-chilling survival horror experience. Titled “Somewhat Damaged,” this mission throws players into an abandoned base, forcing them to navigate through its eerie halls while evading a terrifying spider robot – all without any weapons to defend themselves.
The genius of this mission lies in its stealthy arrival, as CD Projekt Red, the developers behind Cyberpunk 2077, have not marketed or alerted players to its existence. Players are left entirely unprepared for the horrors that await them, leading to shock and awe as they realize they have stumbled into a terrifying nightmare.
Many players have taken to online forums to share their experiences and express their astonishment at the unexpected turn the game takes. A post on the Cyberpunk subreddit titled, “Didn’t realize I downloaded a f****** horror game,” has received nearly 500 upvotes at the time of writing. Clearly, players were not prepared for the intense fear and tension that this mission delivers.
One Reddit user, ReelRai, humorously comments, “CDPR straight up said: We’ll make Alien Isolation 2 ourselves. I’ve rarely had my buttcheeks more clenched than during this mission.” The comparison to Alien Isolation, a renowned horror game, speaks volumes about the level of horror present in “Somewhat Damaged.”
Players who have braved this nightmarish mission recount their experiences with a mixture of adrenaline and fear. Fanboycity reveals, “Yeah, the Killing Moon might be my favorite route and mission but HOLY S*** did this not miss either! 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. The terror was real.”
Another player, Hydrus-606, shares their perspective, stating, “Chase me with zombies, monsters, aliens, hell even a lawnmower. 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!” Their comparison to the film “Death Machine” emphasizes the intensity of the mission.
The impact of this mission extends beyond the initial playthrough, as players dread revisiting it in subsequent playthroughs. HOTFIX_bryan nervously shares, “Lmao, so stressful. I’m about to do a new playthrough of the EP and am already dreading this since I’ll probably have a heart attack this time.” The lasting effect on players’ nerves speaks to the success of CD Projekt Red’s unexpected horror element.
Despite the game’s overall positive reviews and compelling storyline, it is the Somewhat Damaged mission that has truly captured players’ attention. References to Alien Isolation, one of the most acclaimed horror games to date, in discussions about this mission’s terrifying nature only solidifies its impact.
Cyberpunk 2077 proves that it can seamlessly blend genres and surprise players with unexpected twists. The Somewhat Damaged mission stands as a shining example of how a well-crafted horror experience can leave players exhilarated and craving more. So, if you have the courage, embark on this terrifying journey and prepare yourself for a nightmarish surprise unlike anything you’ve ever experienced in a video game before.
