I know, this still isn't my Sekiro review, I'm still working my way through the game. But an opportunity came along that I couldn't pass up for this week. Sony was holding a promotional event for their upcoming game Days Gone in Long Beach. So, I trekked on down to get an early look at Sony's upcoming exclusive.

It's adapted as… Blade Runner (1982) - Harrison Ford plays Deckard, a "blade runner" whose

I know what you're thinking, another post about Cyberpunk 2077? Well not exactly. This post is about Cyberpunk the genre, not the game with the same name (although that will show up here).
