TL; DR– Now I can play Cyberpunk the way I wanted! 100%

Basics- Have you watched the Netflix show or the game?!  Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mission kit is the 2077 update to the Cyberpunk Red RPG set in 2020.  This is a quickstart product with an adventure, token, and everything a GM and players need for a game.

Mechanics or Crunch: Cyberpunk is a fun system, but it was missing something.  That something was the video game’s wizard-like powers.  This box set brings those to the game. And I couldn’t be happier.  I LOVE that part of the video game and was disappointed when I couldn’t do that on the tabletop.  Now I can. It’s a smaller list, but It’s also a quickstart for new players.  There are also all the crunch you need for the show’s characters.  So, if you loved the anime and game, you now have the tools you need to play that version of Cyberpunk   5/5

Theme or Fluff–  Cyberpunk Edgerunners is Cyberpunk Red, but it’s got the anime stuff in the box.  If you LOVED the anime,  here is the fluff to Red you need to play.  That’s what I wanted, so this is solid.  And this has enough world-building to show you how the world works as well.  It won’t and can’t be a whole internet of history, but there is enough here to get you deep enough into the world it will be hard to come up for air.  5/5

Execution: This box is amazing.  Honestly, for the price, you get way more than you expect.  Tokens, multiple books.  Lots of inserts.  Maps.  This is the whole 9 yards.  I love what’s here.  The books themselves read easily, are organized into sections to guide and divide, and are hyperlinked because it is 2026.  An awesome product.   5/5

Summary: I love this product.  You get some solid stuff, amazingly executed, and the missing pieces to make the game and anime work on the tabletop.  No notes, solid product.   Just like the video game, a few years after it came out, this is honestly one of my favorite products in a long time.  100%
