I'm having a really shitty week with all kinds of goings on. Life, work, romance, home sickness, take your fucking pick. Stuff that doesn't belong here but stuff that makes me tired, depressed, sad. Some of it heartbreaking shit, stuff I should be talking to an old fart with glasses about (sometime in the future).
But then I dive into Night City and I forget about all of it. I'm hanging with Jackie or the Aldecaldos, playing a gig with Johnny at Red Dirt, having drinks at the Afterlife, or just flying through the neon lit streets in my fucking Quadra Type 66. It's like a warm blanket. I've literally never experienced anything like this with a game before.
Don't get me wrong, I maintain a healthy balance (Friday and Saturday evenings are my Night City…well, nights…) but it's such a good fucking escapism and way to blow off steam, and forget about the harsh reality of actual real life for a bit.
Anyway, rant over. I just fucking love this game.
(Please, no "Talk to a therapist" comments.)

You are right. There is definitely something about this game. Chin up and game on 🍻
I’m in a similar boat (with life issues) and I love just driving around town on a bike listening to the radio. (Currently Night FM) or exploring. This game, there is definitely something about this game.
