So for the sake of comparison, while I enjoyed the story and characters in Cyberpunk 2077, it wasn't on the same high level as the story and characters in Witcher 3. Perhaps what made all the difference here is that the WItcher had the advantage of having several books as a foundation? is there a Cyberpunk 2077 novel? If there is I've never heard of it.
