So far, it has impressed streamers like Dr. Disrespect, Singsing, and now, Shroud has jumped on the bandwagon as well.

Shroud mysteriously shaved his beard alongside Cyberpunk 2077

Shroud has been grinding the story for solid three days, which says one thing only; he is having a good time with the game. Strolling in the night city, he choose the Corpo life with maxed out difficulty setting. Shroud appreciated that CDPR inserted the auto peek mechanic into the game, and also shared his thoughts about the visuals.

He said, ” The game looks really f***king good, I am not gonna lie to you guys, I know you guys from my streaming perspective probably can’t really see it very well but it looks really good visually, it does.”

No game is ever released without minor bugs and glitches, and Cyberpunk 2077 is no exception. Several players reported graphic and model rendering issues, while Shroud experienced a bug that ported an enemy into the floor. Friendly NPC and our good friend Jack was seen laying bullets on top of it, which made the entire situation hilarious.

But all the reviewing and gaming aside, he still did not explain why he shaved his beard. He evaded answering that question on the stream, but the timing of it alongside Cyberpunk makes your mind wonder.

The streamer had a minor complaint too

The game has a looting system that is tied up to unlocking your upgrades, something that might have failed to impress Shroud.

He said, “I have never been a fan of this whole looting thing; I feel like it is so disengaging, you know. You are gonna be like Oh S**t what’s over here, Oh nice, oh this.

“I feel like it can do without, I guess you don’t have to loot but like you want those upgrades if you know what I am saying. I guess you don’t have to unless you are actively looking for something.”

To summarize it all, Shroud really enjoyed the game, and several aspects of it blew him away. He liked how the NPCs interacted with each other through futuristic tech while every character showcased a personality of themselves.

The immersion blurred the lines, and he almost felt like it was not a game but a movie. He called out Keanu frequently, but it was nothing but a failed endeavor, as his appearance is safely tucked beyond the initial story arc. The six hour-long introduction section was merely a tutorial, as Jack’s story arc concluded with Cyberpunk 2077 logo.
