Cyberpunk 2077 was a disappointment in many ways, but the biggest disappointment for me? No robots. At least, not enough robots. Sure, people have robot arms and robot cars, and there’s those robot sparring partners you sometimes see at the gym, but if it’s half-a-century in the future and Boston Dynamics hasn’t come out with a giant death machine capable of leveling a city block while doing the macarena?
