Star Citizen will have massive ship customization options

It’s a really, really good time to have a gaming habit right now. There’s a ton of choices out there, and some real stunners on the horizon as well. Besides that new Pokémon game that will be arriving in the final quarter of the year, one other game that has my interest and attention, is Star Citizen. It’s a return to a genre that I absolutely adore. And it’s going to be filled with spaceships that take customisation to a new level.

Sooner or later, we’re all going to die. Well, except for me, because thanks to denial, I’m effectively immortal. But as for the rest of us, that’s an inevitable fact. Where do we go when we shuffle off of this mortal coil? Oblivion? Heaven or hell? Personally, I’m hoping that old gamers who die in battle get to go a realm like this, which I call gaming Valhalla.

Character customization in Cyberpunk is tied to the plot

They’ve already set a new precedent for storytelling in their fantasy medieval Witcher games, and now, CD Projeckt RED is headed to the future, for Cyberpunk. As usual, story and interactivity will play a large role in the upcoming game, but one aspect that CDPR really wants to focus on this time, is character customisation.
