Content Assessment

Cyberpunk 2077 (CD Projekt Red, 2020) is a technically impressive open-world RPG set in dystopian Night City 2077. Despite its technical achievement, it features explicit sexual content including full nudity by default, graphic violence, a worldview celebrating hedonism and nihilism, and extensive drug use without moral framework. The game's narrative explores interesting questions about identity but drowns them in content incompatible with Christian values. Not appropriate for Christian gamers. See our Christian Video Game Reviews hub.

The Christian case against Cyberpunk 2077 is straightforward: the game's explicit sexual content, nihilistic worldview, and graphic violence meet none of the standards of Philippians 4:8. The game's artistic ambition — and it has genuine artistic ambition — does not change this assessment. Christians seeking games that engage the cyberpunk genre's interesting questions about technology, humanity, and identity without Cyberpunk 2077's content can look to smaller indie games or the anime adaptation Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix (which has its own content concerns but less extreme than the game). See our Christian Video Game Reviews hub.

What to Look for in Children's Media

Children's media shapes formation in ways adult media does not — children are not yet equipped with the critical distance to evaluate what they're consuming. The question is not just "is this harmful?" but "what is this teaching?" GodlyScore evaluates children's content with heightened sensitivity to family depiction, LGBT normalization, spiritual content, and whether the overall tone encourages virtue or passivity. Score: 18/100 Avoid.
