I liked Legion and have a likely unpopular opinion that they did cyberpunk better than Cyberpunk did. The sandbox world of hacking and controlling different things was fantastically fun. I really wished at least that self-driving cars would have made it to Cyberpunk too. That was a blast.
Didn’t like the story or writing too much tho and the voice acting was horrendous which is obvously where Cyberpunk excels.

Personally still think 2 was the overall best, there were a lot of mechanics I wish made it to legion

I genuinely tried to like the second game but the characters were so cringey that I just couldn’t make it past the first missions.

I think I was just happy to see a cast of characters with some energy and personality, so I wasn't too bothered by the cringe, the whole thing was so overly corny and light in tone that my brain just registered it as straight camp and went from there

Pretty much. But it works.
I mean Wrench is probably the best supporting character in any of those games (and I haven’t even played Legion).

The map and gameplay of WD2 are great, but I absolutely hated the story-gameplay dissonance. “Oh, we are just a bunch of nice, happy hacker kids, we want to get more social media followers… Let’s murder half of the San Francisco police force and literally thousands of criminals”. I am aware the game has non-lethal options, but they make playing much more of a slog and unlike WD1, this game does nothing to encourage using them. Ubisoft removed the morality system because everybody hated it in the first game, but ironically it would have fit much better in WD2 imo.

I remember taser being a significantly better weapon than everything else? It one shots enemies on the body and doesn’t make noise.
