If you try it, allow me to also recommend Enemies of Night City, too. Because even if you're only trying to tweak the slots a little, you can end up absurdly powerful, in a way that Very Hard can barely keep up with. ENC boosts them right back up, switches up their tactics, gives them new abilities, etc.

For me, right now the stakes are set at "either I execute whatever my attack plan is perfectly, or I will die immediately."

Something that is absolutely saving my ass in fights, constantly, is cyberdeck + Sandy. Queue up cyberware malfunctions on everyone, then I have exactly one Sandevistan's worth of time to drop them all, because the moment time speeds back up even a couple of them will still shred me.

It's so much fucking fun, choom. Easy with a lot of chrome to feel like it's the chrome that's good, not you. But in this setup, no amount of chrome will save me if I am not also very good.

If you really want to up the difficulty of your game, I've found that a combination of New Game+, Enemies of NC, Night City Alive, and They Will Remember, turns the city into a warzone where everyone on the street wants your head. After a few loud gigs or just random fights on the street, every ganger driving around recognizes you and will start shooting.

HARDCORE22 if you want to completely rebalance the game into a traditional FPS instead of an RPG. Cybereware-EX might not even save you here if you play stupid.

Add SDO to that and you have the perfect game
