Every Cyberpunk 2077 Romance Option Ranked

Meredith is the worst option to romance, plain and simple. Yes, it's very short. But it isn’t our short time with her that gets her the short end of the stick. Rather it's because that proverbial stick is shoved deep inside where the sun doesn’t shine. Seriously, this lady is super wound up. Then again, what else would you expect from a key manager for a corporation like Militech? She’s someone who likes her pleasures fast and easy, otherwise they end up facing down the bottom of a gun barrel. Hence why she’s bottom of the barrel on our list.

It was all fun and games until the car accident, at which point, the party was truly over, with no time left to wonder what might have been!

Don’t get us wrong. We like Rogue, and we have nothing but respect for her. She’s someone who has seen the best and the worst of Night City, and she knows how and when to adapt to her situation. Despite her seemingly cold nature, she does show her feelings to the people she truly cares about. Unfortunately, that part of her character also works against her. You really, really have to try and break through her tough exterior to get to know her. It can make dealing with her just a little bit frustrating. Besides, her heart still belongs to Johnny. So, in our eyes, she is more or less taken.

Alt is a bit of a weird case. When she was human, she was the opposite to Rogue: fun, flirty, and carefree. You can experience this side of Alt for yourself through Johnny’s flashbacks. However, in the present timeline of “Cyberpunk 2077”, that Alt Cunningham is gone. To spend time with her would be to spend the rest of your life in the empty and occasionally nauseating world of cyberspace, with a digital echo of Alt that’s less into kinks and more into pulling back the veil of the digital world beyond.

Poor Kerry, constantly getting emasculated and mocked by Johnny. But that’s not to say V, or the player, can’t see their appeal. The foil for Johnny’s destructive tendencies, Kerry is a bit more on the logical and heartfelt side of things. A much more sensitive soul, to be sure. If you’re all about that ride or die attitude, then maybe this musician isn’t your cup of tea, but if you’re someone eager to take things a little slower with a more stable Night City hall-of-famer, Kerry is an easy yes.

In a world like Night City where crime is running rampant - on the streets, underground, within the police department themselves, folks like River Ward are like a diamond in the rough…or some chrome in the gunk. River is an absolute saint compared to the rest of the NCPD. He’s a guy who cares about his work and wants to make Night City a somewhat better place than it was yesterday. On top of that, he is a family man who wants to live a simpler life than most. Ready to settle? Go for River!

Panam is an absolute bae. No question about it. You want a girl who has some spunk and attitude? She fits the bill. You want a woman who is a better mechanic than anyone in Night City? Or can handle a sniper rifle? How about one who wants to get down and dirty with you in a tank? She’s a dream, and if she wasn’t your first romance option playing male V, well, we have to wonder what you spent your campaign doing.

Come on! It’s freakin’ Keanu Reeves! Let us romance Keanu Reeves already!

Judy is perfection, punk and tech-wizardry all rolled into one! On top of her sass, scrappiness, and down-to-earth personality, Judy will always make time for the people she cares about and will go to great lengths to make sure they’re okay. Needless to say, she is a flawless human being, and even if we weren’t able to romance her, we made sure to keep her around for as long as we could. Truly one of the breakout characters of Cyberpunk, who we hope to see make a grand return someday!
