The first game I booted up after returning from a recent hospitalisation was Cyberpunk 2077. I am no stranger to near-death experiences; they’re practically a rite of passage for many rare disease patients. A simple infection can turn deadly, triggering another battle for your life. But every round you survive comes with fresh traumas – they’re pretty much two sides of the same coin. So, despite Cyberpunk 2077’s mechanics being physically taxing for me, I reached for the comfort of CD Projekt Red’s portrayal of disability on my return from the hospital, like longing for a friend who understands what you’re feeling without needing you to say a word.
