What's the worst ending in Cyberpunk?

The "worst" ending in Cyberpunk 2077 is subjective, but often cited are The Suicide Ending (Path of Least Resistance) for its bleak finality, and The Devil Ending (Arasaka Deal) for V's soul-crushing betrayal and exploitation by the corporation, even if it offers a technical "cure". The Phantom Liberty expansion adds the King of Pentacles ending, considered objectively bleak as V loses friends and connection for a cure, perpetuating Night City's harsh cycle.

Which ending keeps V alive?

V lives in several endings, most notably the Phantom Liberty "Don't Fear the Reaper" path where they find a potential cure with the help of the FIA (leading to a longer, but still uncertain, survival) and the Arasaka ending (if you refuse to become an engram and go back to Earth, giving you 6 months). The most definitive "V lives long" ending involves the Phantom Liberty expansion's new path where V gets the Relic removed, but faces a life with damaged cyberware and a ticking clock, with hints of a potential cure in the future.

Is male v or female v canon?

Neither male nor female V is definitively canon; both are equally valid, as CD Projekt Red designed them to be, though different marketing efforts (Male V early on, Female V more recently with Phantom Liberty) caused player debate.

Should you trust Hanako or Johnny?

Whether to trust Hanako or Johnny in Cyberpunk 2077 depends on your goals: Hanako (Arasaka) offers a seemingly stable but ultimately self-serving corporate path that betrays allies and leads to a terrible outcome for V; Johnny (Silverhand) is a volatile, untrustworthy rockstar, but siding with him or his friends offers more agency and often leads to better, though still difficult, endings for V, especially with the Phantom Liberty content and secret options. Generally, siding with Hanako leads to the worst ending for V, while working with Johnny or his allies (Rogue, Panam) offers paths to better outcomes, including a secret "true" ending.

Adam Smasher is evil because he was a brutal, psychopathic killer before his full cybernetic conversion, viewing humanity as "meat" to be slaughtered; Arasaka simply rebuilt him into a more efficient, monstrous killing machine, amplifying his inherent sadism and misanthropy, turning him into a symbol of corporate-fueled violence and the loss of humanity in Night City, with zero remorse or empathy for his immense body count.
