Cyberpunk 2077 Modders Truly Are The Best

Over on r/cyberpunkgame, one user asked, "What’s your opinion on the mod Dark Future? I’ve been using this mod for a bit and I’ve been really enjoying it. It feels like an official Hardcore mod for the game. There are things I don’t like about it, like how vehicle summoning works, and only crafting in a car, but otherwise I’ve been having fun trying to manage my hunger, thirst, etc. It makes eating and drinking actually important."

With 20 comments racked up, it is safe to say that fellow Cyberpunk 2077 fans have their own opinions. "I love it," the top comment reads. "I actually use my apartments, eat, drink, sleep, manage my time out and about, arrive at missions at the time they start, so I'm not wasting time waiting (and risking a big dip in vitals)." Another agreed, adding, "Fantastic mod. It adds survival elements to the game. I actually crank up the difficulty of the mod by like three times since it's too "easy" otherwise."

The same sentiment was shared over on the Cyberpunk 2077 Discussions page on Steam, after one user asked, "Dark Future - Yay or nay?" One comment read, "I like it. The food and drink items don't really serve a purpose otherwise. Some may not want to mess with it and that's cool, but I think it serves its purpose for those of us that want to add a little more depth to the gameplay and fully utilize some of the content that was included in the base game but never capitalized on."

Mods such as Dark Future just go to show what is possible by fans, giving them a way to adapt a world they love so much. After all, who does not want an excuse to return to Cyberpunk 2077's Night City at any opportunity?
