    Obviously CP77 suffered a horrendous launch on all platforms, and that should be admonished in its own right, but this review is happening after the late January 2021 update, and CD Projekt Red has made strides to improve stability, fix bugs, and so on.

The    Obviously CP77 suffered a horrendous launch on all platforms, and that should be admonished in its own right, but this review is happening after the late January 2021 update, and CD Projekt Red has made strides to improve stability, fix bugs, and so on.

    Graphically, the game is a mixed bag. On XBox One and PlayStation 4, the game looks like an XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 game. The developer very poorly optimized the game for launch on last generation's consoles, despite those consoles being the current generation for the vast majority of the game's development. On PC, the game looks good with up to date hardware, but not nearly as good as promised in trailers and promotional material. Night City does not feel as alive and detailed as it did in the high production value trailers and gameplay reveals. Draw and rendering distances ranged from average at best (top of the line PC hardware) to comically abysmal at worst (PS4).

    Crashing is abundant on PS4 and XB1, and only occasional on PC. On PS4 and XB1, you can pretty much set a two hour timer and wait for the game to crash. This issue was not fixed or improved upon in any of the patches.

    Combat on all three platforms feels floaty. On PC, I messed with my sensitivity settings a little, tweaking as I went until I found a sweet spot. On console, I messed with the sensitivity settings a lot, and course corrected a frustrating amount of times until I found a tolerable level of float that I could get used to.
    Stealth is fine, and probably more polished than the combat, which is unfortunate considering how infrequently it is a viable option. Taking out a base of goons in stealth can take so long, that I got bored more often than not and revealed myself on purpose to start a firefight.
    Quickhacking is interesting, but not very refined. You'll end up sticking to the same three or four quickhacks for every scenario. It's more gimmick than revolutionary feature.
    Melee combat is so janky, and overall bad. A lot of hits you thought landed, didn't. Some enemies have unexplainable resistances to melee combat, and it bugs out far more frequently than ranged.

    Crafting is so utterly terrible and not worth your investment even for a second. Collecting parts is a nightmarishly tedious task, and you have to commit a lot of skill points to crafting in order to create anything worthwhile. Even if you do make a great weapon, chances are you can find a better one in about 20 minutes while out on side missions. CD Projekt Red kept the same boring tedious mechanics for crafting from their Witcher series, and it did not age well at all.

    Driving is a non starter. There are very few cars that feel good to drive, and the physics of the game were not built in tandem with the geography of the map in a way to allow players to drive fast without flying around the streets wildly and launching themselves unexpectedly. Either Night City does not have standard Earth gravity, or the cars of 2077 only weigh 100 pounds. I can think of at least a dozen games off the top of my head that had more comfortable driving mechanics.

    Choicemaking and dialogue trees are pretty good. Choices feel like they have a lot of weight, and pay off in interesting ways. The writing of CP77 really saves this game. The plot is interesting, perfectly paced, and tense in all the right places.
    The romance options feel very dumbed down, and V's choices are horribly and disappointingly few, but the ones included in the game are written pretty well, and can all have satisfying endings.

    Keanu Reeves is average to slightly above average throughout most of the game, and downright brilliant in some spots. Overall pretty good performance for someone new to performance capture acting. Was he the perfect casting choice? Yes and no, somehow. You can't go wrong with Keanu, but maybe someone else could have done better.

    The music in CP77 is varied, well produced, and high quality overall. If you have an eclectic taste in music, you'll love the CP77 radio.

    Overall, Cyberpunk 2077 is just okay. The amazing story props up the dated and underwhelming gameplay and crashing issues. Bugs make the game annoying to play, but again, the meticulously detailed and thoughtful plot can keep you quitting to the main menu, and loading back in.

    I have finished four playthroughs of this game, on all available platforms, on updated hardware.    … Expand

    Numerous bugs and errors.
    A lot of obscene expressions, so many that it hurts my ears. This is especially felt in Russian voice acting
    The game is average. There's nothing supernatural about it. Just a good shooter. So the game gets 6 out of 10 from me

I am so disappointed by the AI. The world feels so lifeless. **** GTA Vice City feels more alive, it may not look that good but at least when i point my gun at a civilian in a car they drive off. The enemy AI is borderline free mobile gaming tier garbage.

    The gunplay can be satisfying at times but that is like 10% of the combat. The enemies are just bullet sponges that do millions of damage (on hard difficulty) and the enemy variety is trash. But its an RPG game so ill let it slide.

    Driving feels wonky, it feels like Spintires except im not in a 3 ton truck going though 6 feet deep mud instead im a racecar on asphalt. It feels weird, like im lagging, its not responsive and snappy at all (as a racing game enthusiast this was an another disappointment, i know what good driving mechanics feel like and this is far from it).

    I thought this game would be RDR2 level of breaking into new grounds and setting an example but this is such an inferior game to RDR2 its not even funny.

    Im giving it a 6/10 cause i still want to give it a chance. I almost dropped it after being utterly frustrated with glitches **** up my gameplay and ways i wanted to do levels. I still didnt finish the game so thats why ill leave it at 6/10. For now my experience is 4/10    … Expand

    THE GREAT
    - The initial Universe of Talsorian Games is awesomely rendered.
    - Visuals are most often from nice to gorgeous.
    - Main story is well written and involving
    - Side quests are most often well written and involving too
    - Dialogs are spot-on
    - Voice acting is great in English and pretty good in French too
    - Sound tracks are excellent and spot-on with the Universe
    - Perks and skills are great, character evolution is engaging
    (note that resetting skills is difficult, and resetting perks impossible. I'm a table top RPG player so to me being able to reset skills is already too complacent, but that may annoy you.)

    THE GOOD
    - It is mature content, it shouldn't have been otherwise
    - Shooter mechanics are enjoyable
    - Craft and weapon customization are interesting
    - Many graphic settings
    - Replayability is globally OK

    THE BAD
    - Main storyline is too short
    - Poor differences in class path and choice consequences makes replayablity way less fun than it could be.
    - Driving is very unsatisfying to handle
    - No vehicle customization, very weak car degradation
    - AI is dumb and dumber.
    - It is poorly optimized and if you want everything ultra, even with a monster PC, FPS wont be great, at best.
    - Some graphic settings are not properly working, like getting worse definition with G-synck on.

    THE UGLY
    - Promises of NPCs having daily routines has not been fulfilled.
    - Promises of dynamic and impacting weather system has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of meaningful day and night cycle has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of smart police tracking after a crime has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of frequent flying AVS has not been fulfilled.
    - It could go on and on, the list of unfulfilled promises is overwhelming.
    - Worst of all, promise that it would be launched when ready has not been fulfilled.
    - There are a lot of bugs, last gen consoles version is a disgrace and PC is far from that disaster, but still it had been launched half baked. Bugs I encounter are toxic to immersion but not game breaking, except when the game mess with my sound card and randomly mix speakers in 5.1 configuration : when it happens the only solution I got is to restart my PC.
    - You end up with a very nice world, but interactions with it are so poor that with time it feels more and more dead.
    - Despite not having been promised (witch doesn't mean anything anyway as we see), some basic elements you would expect from any open world RPG are not there while it would make a lot of sense because of the Universe deeply into body modification : no esthetic surgery, no tattoo shop, no hair dresser, not even the possibility to change your make up. When your character is done, it is done. Also where is the key to holster weapon ? ...
    - CDPR communication is shamelessly deceiving in so many ways you can't believe whatever they tell. Also if you care for productions to be concerned about employee's well being, you wont be happy. Saying CDPR's behavior leaves a bittersweet taste is an understatement.
    - The ugly list is too damn long e_e

    All in all CP2077 qualities are very heterogeneous. It is a good game that could have been one of the best, and may become GOTY if CDPR fulfills its promises about patches, DLCs, and bring an awesome multiplayer. BUT CDPR had been so much into deceiving their promises that there's no way we can take for granted they'll deliver.

    If you are expecting the game they promised, if you are expecting a polished game, if you're expecting great additional content, don't buy, wait for CDPR to deliver. If you're Cyberpunk 2013/2020/Red fan, if you got a powerful PC with RTX GPU, and if you don't mind bugs and BS, go for it.    … Expand

Loved Witcher 3 and was excited to try something new from CDPR.

    The game is ludicrously beautiful in terms of graphics and art design. The city is incredibly dense, immensely detailed, and a joy to explore. The graphical fidelity on PC is insane and I'm not running an RTX card - up close you can see clearly detailed individual threads on clothing and super fine textures. The designs of guns, clothing, and vehicles are pretty great throughout. I really can't stress enough how pretty the game is. Decent performance on my computer, too. Averaging around 45 FPS on nearly ultra at 1440p.

    The first 15 hours were magical. The feeling of being unleashed in this vast city with your own freedom to do what you want was awesome. Collecting new weapons, leveling up, trying out missions. The story was mostly decent, though the intro for your origin story was laughable at about 15 minutes long followed by a cinematic that skips months of your life in Night City... and you basically never touch that story again. But still, fairly engaging story missions. All of it was so cool at first.

    And then I hit this point where it dawned on me that I'd basically experienced everything the game had to offer in terms of gameplay in that brief amount of time. From that point on, you realize there's just not much variety here. Every smart weapon has the same effect, every tech weapon has the same effect, every NPC, regardless of what gang they're in, acts exactly the same, every side mission is the same - kill these guys, collect this thing, move on.

    The NPC AI is shockingly bad, like impressively lackluster. Citizens do nothing but walk aimlessly, say one canned line of like 20 possible voice lines, and loop an animation. Enemy NPCs are completely braindead. I put almost all my points into hacking, thinking it would be this cool opportunity for cyber espionage and clever, futuristic ways of outsmarting enemies. Nope. It's basically just "light guys on fire from a distance" while they stand around cluelessly shouting the same threat over and over. They have no way of finding you in stealth, no way of stopping your hacking, no way of even slowing you down. It is stupidly easy, even on hard difficulty.

    The cars handle like crap to the point that I don't even use them though motorcycles are a bit better. You see this cool scene when you get your first implant where it shows the ripperdoc changing your eye out, but from then on, getting now implants is just as basic as changing your character's pants. And speaking of characters, V has absolutely zero room for roleplaying options. You can't choose how you act in almost any situation because you're only presented with one scripted piece of dialogue, maybe two.

    There's just this enormous rift between the story missions and the open world that makes me feel like the game was rushed and left incomplete. The open world is so sterile in terms of gameplay. All there is to do is go from boring side mission to boring side mission doing the same thing repeatedly, selling junk at vendors, and looking at new things to buy. There's almost nothing to do in terms of cyberpunk themes. There's no crooked cops, there's no interesting things happening with gangs, there's not even an appearance of these huge megacorporations that dominate their world. It's just stunning how devoid of purpose the open world is.

    Now don't get me wrong, there's a certain amount of fun in the game. Like I said, I love exploring the city and the main story is decent. But otherwise, it ranges from an average to sub-average open world whack-a-mole kind of game where you blast enemies like you're in a shooting gallery and pick up a ton of crappy loot to disassemble or sell. That's the game in a nutshell.

    It's disappointing for sure. The game doesn't innovate or set any standards whatsoever beyond visuals. It's a run of the mill AAA shooter with poop grade AI, terrible driving, and little to do beyond the main story. I wouldn't recommend this game honestly, I regret buying it.    … Expand

There's a few spots where the specific events are rather confusing because the CDPR cut part of the quest out and they never went back to remove it. But those events are few and far between. the way they integrate Johnny silverhands was unique and well done.

    Voice Acting: There is SOoooo much voice acting and most of it is well done. I noticed the man behind Johnny Silverhands wasn't the best voice actor in the universe... but let's be honest here. Did ya expect anything different? I mean you've seen at least one of his movies right? The only thing that surprises me here is that people we're surprised by KR's voice acting.
    While the voice acting added to immersion it also removed some as well. Because you no longer have a running log of what was said and what you said on the screen... It can be difficult to fully appreciate the choices your making.

    Polish: This game just wasn't... at all. There's so many bugs in so many places I'm amazed it was released in this state. I understand games will have bugs... but this is extreme.

    Combat: This can be quite a bit of fun however some of the coolest stuff is locked behind leveling.
    Getting headshots, mid air, with enemies all around you with time slowed down is deeply satisfying.
    There's also various weapon modifications that can change how you approach various situations.

    Progression: hard felt like it was hard, partly because I didn't realize I was supposed to be questing in a different part of town. Anyhoo, You can feel you're character is getting better in the world in which they exist.

    non-linear story: They get some points deducted here because you generally have no idea if your choice actually made a difference. From what I've read it IS possible to change the outcome but it's not obvious to me, at all, while playing the game. Every time I've save scummed, ON MANY QUESTS, the outcome is almost always the same.

    AI: there is almost 0 intelligence to anything AI related. Some of the worst I've ever seen... ever.
    NPC's on the streets are clearly an after thought. Car AI behaves as if they were made by a college student in a last ditch effort to pass a class. CP gets an F here.

    Crafting: They didn't play test this enough. Who the hell thinks it's ok to click and hold the craft button, wait 1 second.. then rinse and repeat that literally 100's of times.. WTF. pure cancer. CP gets a C here because crafting is cool and it does add to the game... it just needs some QOL.

    Breaching: This is pretty cool, had a ton of fun with it. I wish you could do more with it but I'll take what I can get. CP gets an A- here.

    Balance: It's clearly not. The stats are multiplicative and no recalculated from the base... I'm not sure if I have a problem with this so I'm not going to grade it. TBH, It's fun thinking about the different types of characters you can build because of this.

    Economy: It's a static economy and I didn't expect anything more (I mean why is that need in an RPG?).

    Trading: They get an F here. Jesus guys, So many QOL's missing on this. I don't want to trade equipped items, so don't list em by default. there's no quick sell for the kajillion items you have. You might argue that QOLs aren't that important but lets be honest here. When it comes to trading, beyond making an integer move up or down, it's all QOL.

    Pace: the game tries to rush you due to the story, I don't think it actually makes good on that threat but it's still kinda annoying. Why didn't you guy's say thing X will cause extreme problems for you 1 year from now.. That was a pretty foolish imo.

    Weapons: so you get pistols, machine guns, snipers, and shotguns. there's alot of different types of those weapons mentioned. It'd be nice if there was some more imaginative weapons? like a bouncy bomb, how about a beam weapon? How about an acid soaker? a flame thrower? a taser? sure, you have weapon effects that will shock or start people on fire...but you don't have weapons that throw fire or emit electricity visually.

    If you're looking for the next GTA, keep looking.

    Writing this review after I played a ton of the game, here are my two cents:

    Good:
    - Story is good, better than most of the games on market these days, which is great. Cutscenes and are great, main characters are spot on.
    - Graphics is great, especially when using RTX, which makes frame rate dip far below 60 in many scenes even on RTX 3080 that you barely can get anywhere these days.

    Not so good/dissapointing:
    - My main disappointment is that the open world is blank, empty etc. in terms of mechanics. Nothing seems to have a substance or feel to it, everything is just there for you to look at, just mere appearance of a city.
    - Game lacks content and variety, there are almost zero mini-games, professions, factions etc. No car tuning, even no barber shop or tatoo shop, which is bizzare.
    -RPG systems are weak, because there is no real transmog and not many options to fine-tune your experience or equipment outside of some not so interesting mods.
    - Some minor things, like HUD has no tranparency option, map in uniformative and all secondary missions no matter the type has exactly the same question mark icon etc. You cannot unfollow any mission for just free-roam, a reminder always stays in the screens right corner, unless you switch of HUD in potions menu.
    - Lots of readable lore with no real interest to dive into it.
    - Outdated stealth, shooting, driving - gameplay in general.
    - No endgame or new game + , replayability also seems limited.

    Really not that good:
    - Tons of bugs that break immersion.

    After fixing performance and bugs, I might as well give this game a 8 - 8.5, but it needs more major changes to be done in order to deliver what was initially promised. More content and many more gameplay systems need to be flashed-out, then this may as well be a worthy GTA contender in world of Cyberpunk.    … Expand

    Nowhere near what they promised, and horribly buggy, but it still manages to be better than most of the competition in the "open world sandbox" genre. People upset about the hype probably won't see that, but compared to incessantly vapid games like GTA, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and RDR just to name a few, Cyberpunk 2077 manage to be at least somewhat enjoyable.

    And that's the primary reason for my low score, the game looks beautiful, the city is amazing and in terms of art design is the most detailed I've seen. But that's where the sense of awe ends, because when you actually go out to explore the city, you find there is pretty much nothing to do. You can't even sit on a bench in a park.

    The quests that are finished are good, but there are many which are clearly after thoughts added in to rush the game out. Even questlines that appear finished are missing content. I romanced Panam and as soon as the climax of the romance happened its like her character turned off. Going to see her in the Aldecados camp offers only 3 conversation options. There's no further interaction with her until (if) you chose to ask her for help at the end of the game.

    Its such a shame, there's a great game hiding in there somewhere, but all the cut or simply unfinished content and minor bugs completely ruin it.    … Expand

I played this on PC and it was a bugfest, a game that clearly needed like 6 more months to be completed, but leaving the bugs aside I can say this is a mediocre title. Story wise is good, a short but really cool campaign. If you are playing this just for the story then yes you will enjoy it, but you have to ignore the terrible mediocre game behind it. This was advertised as next level RPG, and that is a lie, there is a skill three that honestly feels like an afterthought, the game doesn't even let you customize the character looks after you have created it, you cant even get a haircut or modify your body aesthetics, the ripperdocs allow you to get some basic upgrades but they are very generic and nothing impactful. The life paths are a joke, other than a different starting area and like a single exclusive mission, you play the exact same person weather you choose corpo, nomad or streetkid. The leveling feels like you are just unlocking boring passive points that have impact but you cant feel it as they don't change the game mechanics. The loot system is ok, guns feel really nice when you shoot and the gun combat is ok, but broken, almost anything can one shot. There is a certain type of weapon were you can shoot through walls and that is just plain stupid, enemies can't see you, but you can see them, and all you have to do is shoot behind cover to kill them. Katanas and melee weapons feel ok, they can be fun but the melee combat is horrible, those missions were you have to fight other NPCs are boring and nothing like in the Witcher 3. Loot feels generic, a lot of trash and most things you pick will end up being salvaged for materials that you will later use for the crafting system, and the crafting system is so basic that I don't know why it's included, you can't customize your guns other than a silencer or an scope, some mods and that's it, we definitely expected way more. Legendary weapons are really fun but make the game so much easier, but the thing I dislike the most about this game is the open world, it's filled with fetch quests, repetitive missions to increase your street credit to unlock more repetitive missions, go here, kill some people, grab a laptop, hack a system, all very much the same, making money in this game is really easy as well as the economy is completely broken. The world feels huge, and really beautiful but also dead, it's like walking on a city filled with brainless bots, there are no bars to do cool things, no arcade games or other fun activities that don't involve combat. I expected to breath NIght City, to see NPCs reacting to me, but they all feel the same, they behave like a bunch of cowards when you shoot, and if you follow one of them they are just following a circular path just pretending to do something to create the illusion of a crowd and the police, it's so bad that they spawn anywhere if you shoot a civilian or comit a crime, they SPAWN, and all you have to do to loose them is walk a bit or grab a car and run away, they don't chase you, its so bare bones that you can tell they rushed this system. This is a mediocre game in all aspects other than the story, the graphics are nice, but nothing impressive, I feel like CDPR had a fantastic concept but the scope of it was too big for their team and it's a real shame because I know that this could have been a fantastic game. In 6 months this will be a more polished game, but the current systems, the current AI, the current dead aura of the city will not be fixed.… Expand

Furthermore, there is really nothing more to do than to drive to a location kill everything or just steal something without killing everyone. Even the grand story missions follow the exact same mediocre gameplay. As there is a lack of mini-games that make the game varied.

The game itself looks and runs fine, I haven't noticed any game breaking bugs, only few glitches here and there, nothing major and nothing that would interfere with my game, plus I'm sure those will be ironed out in a month or two. The graphics is very nice as you probably know (running on medium/high settings on my 1070 just fine). The game play itself is okay, it's 3d shooter with a mix of gta, deus ex and borderlands. The hacking and stealth aspects seem a bit underdeveloped and not very interesting so I mostly play the game as 3d shooter with occasional use of stealth or hacking which seems to work fine and what the game seems to be designed for. The crafting mechanics seem a bit pointless as after 30 hours I haven't even touched crafting yet. One aspect of the game that I dislike is the gear you get - there does not seem to be much thought put into different classes and gear sets and that sort of thing (like combat vs hacker vs stealth gear types that would promote different styles of game play) - it seems to be completely random which also makes things a bit silly. A tank top can have higher armor than armor plate carrier vest, etc. which means that most of the time you look quite stupid as you just use whatever has the highest stats, even if it makes no visual sense. None of these things are major issues though and so far the game is fine, but my next few point are big ones - the story, the characters and the quests are all not very good. The main story is not very interesting, it seems to be a classic "taking down the system" type story but so far it is a bit bland. The characters are also bland and uninteresting - you don't spend enough time with anyone so they just come and go and I don't care about any of them, I don't even remember their names. One slightly interesting character is Johnny Silverhand played by Keanu Reeves - he's a bit of an a-hole but at least you get to know him a bit and is at least memorable somewhat and the circumstance of our relationship (without going into spoilers) is a bit different than I expected (I'd like to point out that I knew pretty much nothing about CP2077 before playing it, I completely missed the hype train and everything which was probably a good thing). A big missed opportunity are the side quests in my opinion - they are very bland. The side quests usually revolve around killing or rescuing someone or stealing some documents from some computer. But whats the real problem is that they get none of the well crafted stories like we've seen in Witcher 3. You get most of the side missions simply by a phone call and a text message, no meeting of interesting characters, no cut scenes, no dialogs, no decisions to be made, etc. which is really disappointing. The side quests in Wither 3 were very well done, with interesting stories being told and some very memorable moments. Unfortunately in CP2077 there's none of that, that's a very big step back, the side quests are dime a dozen and forgettable, one just like the others. Overall the game is a bit of a let down. It's far from terrible as some people try to imply but it's also a big missed opportunity. Ultimately, while the game play is enjoyable enough, the game just becomes bland and boring, which I mostly attribute to uninteresting story, characters and side quests. I will probably finish the game but so far the game hasn't really hooked me. I think 6 or 7 out of 10 is fair score.… Expand

Doing a combination of Story content as well as a decent chunk of the side quests that littered Night City, I was able to play for about 57 hours before I decided I wanted the game to be done. Personally, I felt the main story was too short (Very short compared to TW3) and the side quests did very little to keep me engaged enough before I wanted to just know more about V's story. I personally enjoyed the story up until the ending but it fits with the narrative (I got the generic ending).

    As far as the game play goes, it was pretty standard. The skilltree was extremely generic, only giving a few "keynote" abilities for each tree but it got the job done as far as showing progression. The weapons don't really feel different between rarities and levels. The white gun you use at level 1 will feel like the purple or orange gun you find later. SMART and TECH weapons are nothing new but did change the gameplay a bit once they were found. Exploring Night City doesn't really have any magic to it. The exploration is subpar due to the fact that you will only find some text logs and maybe some ammo, healing/buff items and some of the game's iconic weapons. There is very little to it compared to other game's that give exotic items full back stories, sometimes quests and maybe even some memorable moments while obtaining them.

    The combat isn't terrible but does nothing to change the formula (Not saying that's a bad thing). The melee is just a combination of light/heavy attacks but has a few perks that can make it feel flashy at times. Shooting is pretty standard. You will hip fire or ADS and target enemy weakpoints. Put enough rounds into them while taking advantage of your perks will see most enemies taken down very quickly (on hard and lower, at least) I had no issue with the combat, personally but the skilltrees are extremely light and don't do much to really make you feel unique outside of a few key ones.

    The RPG aspect feels almost non existent. There's very little choice in the game and if you are looking for massive story changing aspects, there's just too little of it. Most of your playthough will be the same except for the endings and what build you decide on. The endings are mostly based on what quests you complete and a few rare pieces of dialogue here and there. You do level up just like any normal RPG while also gaining perk points for "mastering" weapons/stealth etc.

    (I will explain further about the 1080TI issues at the bottom)
    The performance is not too bad on PC if you understand your hardware limitations but the 1080TI had weird issues that I can't explain even while using up to date drivers and no temp issues. I was running the game on a Gigabyte 1080TI (However, I did have to use a mod made by Yamashi in order to get the following performance), Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz with the game installed on a Samsung Evo 860 500GB. Playing at 1080p standard, 1080p ultra wide and standard 1440p netted me a solid 50-60 FPS on High with film grain and motion blur being the only settings disabled. Attempting 1440p ultrawide left me at a stable 30FPS but I did not wish to play it at that resolution for obvious reasons. I also tried playing it on my laptop which ran a 2070 max q, I7 8050H, 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz and also using an SSD. It was able to run Ultra at 1080p between 51-62 FPS but bumping it to 1440p on high left me at 48-53 FPS. I was not able to attempt ultra wide as the laptop just struggled too much.

    The story was okay for me. I enjoyed what little of it there was but felt like it was just way too short. I know that CDPR said they were going to reduce the length due to people not beating TW3 but this felt insanely short. I know that the games can't really be compared as one is a third person action RPG while CP2077 is an FPS RPG but the side quests are a big issue in my opinion. TW3 had little stories with a lot of its quests where as CP2077's side content felt tacked on. There's little dialogue, no substance, and it is mainly there to give you exp and loot. You won't find out more about the world other than, "This gang member is bad, stop them," Or, "This person needs to be rescued, go save them and i'll give you good stuff." I personally felt like this was the biggest disappointment about the game for me.

    Overall, Cyberpunk 2077 is a good game but did not live up to expectations. I didn't really follow the hype as much as others but I was still looking forward to this game. I enjoy the setting, loved the tabletop game and have enjoyed all of the Witcher games as well as other RPGs, and CP2077 has felt like the weakest game I have played this year. What little there was, I enjoyed but CDPR needs to improve the game further with more content, hopefully good DLCs later and regain that magic they apparently lost during this game's development    … Expand

I'm not even going to talk about how buggy this game is and the bad performance it has, i wish those were the only issues this game has. The AI is as bad as Mafia III if not worse, If you put your bike on the side of the road with enough space for the cars to keep driving they just don't know what to do and stay still, same thing when you shoot, instead of go fast and escape, all of them get out of the vehicle at the same time and lay down like a 2006 game. The police is awful as the always respawn close to you and on your back no matter where you are, either on the middle of the street, a rooftop or a small room and when it comes to shootings they just go running or move without a clear reason, same thing with your teammates if there's any. The city is beautiful but at the same time completely empty as there's nothing you can do apart from main and side quests (you can't even change your hair) so the only thing you have left is go drving around nightcity while trying to complain about how bad the driving on this game is, the wheel turns way too much forcing you to drift and bikes are even worse, there's no way you can fall from it, no matter how fast you go, the crash or how many things you try to climb because it's physics are pretty bad. The backstory is pretty much meaningless like every choice you make in the game apart from the last mission and possible romances. The graphics are pretty good and I enjoyed the story but it's far from the things promised. You barely interact with each gang apart from 1/2 quests with each one, can't customize guns nor cars and because of the loot system it's completely wortless to buy something from a gun shop or a common shop to buy clothes as those are way too expensive and you'll end up looting something better in the next 1/2 hours. The only positive aspects of the game are the graphics, city itself (buildings and neighborhoods) and story. There's too many bad things from this game for me to say and again, I was tryng not to be hyped for this game because it looked so damned good and didn't want to be disappointed but it's just not good, it was all marketing… Expand

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a action role-playing game. Cyberpunk's reception and probably also its quality was seriously affected by the pre-release events and expectations so lets start with that.

Cyberpunk's reception and probably also its quality was seriously affected by the pre-release events and expectations so lets start with that. The Witcher 3 was the game that put CD Project Red on the throne of video game development. The game was fantastic and is widely considered to be one of the best games of all time, if not the very best. After Witcher 3, the developers announced that they will depart from the Witcher world and focus their attention on this new big project, Cyberpunk 2077. Because of the spotless record of the CD Project Red, many gamers were understandably expecting a masterpiece to rival or even exceed the Witcher 3. Those expectations were only strengthened by the overall situation in the gaming world, where titans of the industry, such as Bioware, Blizzard and Bethesda were quickly falling from grace and into the abyss. The wait was long and the draught was almost unbearable. All that caused the expectations of Cybepunk 2077 to skyrocket to such heights, that it became clear, that no matter how good the game actually would be, it could never actually meet them. That on its own is a recipe for disaster. Plus allegations of so called crunch were voiced against the company. In my opinion, this whole business was a result of our society being so spoiled and weak, that it considers hard work as something reprehensible. The times we live in.

    Anyway, the game was finally released in December 2020 and from the first minutes, it became very apparent that something is really wrong. The game was, and still is today, full of bugs, ranging from minor (visual glitches, lighting etc.) to major game breaking (save file size limit, unable to complete certain missions etc.). That was a huge letdown and given its release date, it became clear that someone forced this unpolished and maybe even unfinished game to be released in the holiday season. This decision cannot be justified from any perspective, because even the extra money they made, were far outweighed by the unprecedented number of refunds. But the greatest loss for the company is the loss of reputation, something that will cost them very dearly in the years to come. Pity.

    Now the actual game is really interesting, the design of the Night City is just amazing. Even in Witcher 3, CDPR proved that they can design a beautiful and functional city (Novigrad) and in Cyberpunk 2077, this gets even enhanced and becomes one of the coolest aspects of the game. Regarding graphics, the game can look very pretty, but at a very steep performance cost (unlike Witcher 3, which was also beautiful and yet low-spec PC friendly). The story is great, but kinda short and it becomes, specially towards the end, strangely predictable and also struggles to stay clear of certain storytelling cliches. It can also get a bit confusing, if you are not a Cyberpunk fan. I really like certain characters, of course Johnny is the best, great work by Keanu Reeves, the weird co-existence with V is done very well. Romance is kinda scarce, theoretically you have four options, but really you only have one, so that could definitely be improved. Because you are moving through a big city, you will spend a lot of time in your car. Driving feels really arcade and is riddled with a number of bugs and oversights. The smallest and yet possibly the most annoying of them is the ridiculously zoomed in minimap, which causes you to miss a lot of turns or use a regular map (which is also not very good) every ten seconds or so. There is also a lot of randomly appearing and disappearing traffic. There is a decent number of cars you can drive and own, most of them are really slow and sluggish (definitely for a year 2077, for example late in the main story you will get a very cool looking Porsche 930, which will however only do about 160 km/h, despite the fact that the real car had a maximum speed of 260 km/h way back in 1975). Specially the transmissions are very unrealistic and acting weird. The music is pretty good, not my thing really, but decent. The difficulty of the game is just another thing that is not optimized well. On harder difficulties, the first hours are really hard and on the contrary the second half of the game feels really easy regardless of talent or equipment choices. This game contains no microtransactions and little SJW, although it seems to me that, despite the pre-release trans poster hysteria, the game is trying to stay from controversy.

    Pardon me for constantly comparing this game to its CDPR predecessor, but my overall feeling is that what once came easy with Witcher 3, is now toiled for in Cyberpunk 2077. Even if they fix all the bugs and oversights, this game will still not be as good as the Witcher games (Of course, that is just my opinion). But despite all that, Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of very good moments and with a lot of polish and some strong DLCs it can absolutely become a great game. Final Verdict: 68 %    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is not easy to write as I am one of the fans who was deeply invested in buying this game and diving into the Cyberpunk world I’ve been a huge fan of for years. It’s almost soul crushing to go from all of the hype and excitement, reading up on backgrounds and brushing up on lore only to be left in sheer and utter disappointment.
    The game starts off and feels unique, but that unique and exciting feeling runs out quickly after 20 minutes. Why? It feels as though regardless of what life path you choose- it all ends the same. There is no separate story to dive into, nothing ground-breaking to explore, and no true RPG element to the life paths.
    The city itself was well done and the design gives off a nice cyberpunk metropolis. The lighting and sound are nice, but due to the performance level the game runs on it leave a lot to be desired.
    The guns, and action gameplay feels incomplete-although the crafting and gun mechanics seem well put together.
    Enemies feel bullet-spongey and the AI is a joke as with the rest of the games’ AI.
    In short-mainly because this game is such a bitter disappointment I can’t bring myself to finish this review-this game and us fans deserved far more and far better from CDPR. Lies, empty promises, and false information has indeed tainted this experience for myself and many others.    … Expand

Underneath all the bugs and glitches, this game lacks depth. They'll patch the game inevitably, but it won't change the cut content, the myriad of missing features, the wonky AI and shallow game mechanics, the repetitive side missions, lack of actual game changing player choice, the half baked life paths, weak rpg elements, and the lack of deep customization. The game should've been released 3 to 5 years from now, it simply was not ready. My frustrations are not targeted towards the devs they were crunched to absolute disgusting levels to push out a game that wasn't nearly ready. Sure, the game was announced 8 years ago, but it truly didn't start development until 2016 or 2017. The rushed nature and half baked feeling of is game is due to toxic management, extreme crunch, corporate greed, pressure from shareholders etc. I truly do wonder what this game would've been like had it been finished and was the game they advertised. Unfortunately it might take a couple years to be the game we all wanted it to be, until then I shall be leaving Night City until it becomes the game it was meant to be.

    TLDR: There are some great moments in this game, it has a great aesthetic, deep and engaging story, well written characters, interesting lore, killer soundtrack, and a truly well detailed world. Unfortunately it is extremely unfinished, with performance issues, bugs and glitches, horrible npc AI, and too much cut content and missing features/mechanics. The devs at CDPR truly wanted to create a groundbreaking experience, you can feel the ambition and passion at times in the game. Unfortunately they weren't given enough time to flesh out their vision. I would not recommend this game in it's current state 5/10    … Expand

The story its self is quiet good but doesn't carry any emotion. The games combat is all weapon based and while the weapons are cool and unique, fighting isn't too exciting. the weapons just feel the same because of the friendly and enemy AI that performs worse that Call of duty. Seriously all they do is stand or duck behind cover and occasionally shoot. no getting flanked or getting pushed while your weak or the enemies running away if you throw a grenade. really disappointing. The graphics are quite good and detailed, this is only amplified by the art-style which nails the 'cyberpunk/futuristic'. The city its self feels a bit lackluster. i thought i'd be able to have conversations with random npc's just for the sake of it but no, you can't. while there isn't much to do in the city, this is completely made up for in the huge number of side quests available. the game really shines in how you can customize you character and life. You can choose what clothing, flashy car and how to optimize your body to have futuristic gadgets which make you actually do side missions to gain the cash for these things. overall expected more but still a good game to play but ONLY ON PC OR NEXT GEN CONSOLES. it is unplayable due to bugs on ps4 pro, xbox one X you name it. lacking in the dialogue department.

    The good thing about this game is it is visually stunning and has a really good story line.
    Now on to the negative sides even if i exclude the bugs and glitches there are lots of issues that you might have already noticed.

(Some sides quests are really fun tho tbh)    The good thing about this game is it is visually stunning and has a really good story line.

    What I meant is as an open world game for example when we play games like GTA (as a whole franchise, not just any specific GTA game) there are tons of fun stuff to do other than doing quests, as an open world rpg fan I have spent tons of times exploring Skyrim and Oblivion even after finishing the main quest line. Even not so successful first Watch Dogs game has many good things as an open world game. There are fun arcade mini games, random events, poker games stuff like that. Even CDPR's Witcher 3 had gwent, which was really fun, I have spent hours roaming all over the Witcher 3 map to find new npcs to challenge and collect new cards like many other players. But for Cyberpunk I didn't find anything that than can suck me into the vast open world that they have created, not too many place of interest in this game. Specific pubs and stuff only available for players and there is nothing to do even if you go there, so no point going there other than questing.

    NPC AI is non-existent, even oblivion ai looks far better to me compared to the npcs' of night city. At least they would start random conversation among them which was and still is great meme materials. If you attack them some might run but others will attack you back. Even old games like GTA San Andreas npcs' react in some way when you hit their car or themselves, or when you try to rob their car for your quick ride. To me it felt like they put these npcs to just fill the void of night city.

    Crafting didn't feel like that alluring to me either. I remember I spent hours collecting all the diagram of armors and weapons in Witcher 3. The whole process was fun and rewarding at the same time. But here I did not feel the need at all and finished the whole game with what ever the drop I got from enemies or missions.

    Cyber upgrades are also not that charming either, there are some good upgrades and help you become strong but I started upgrading them pretty late in the game and didn't feel it was mandatory in early game while you can feel how important augmentation in Deus Ex game.

    And more than that is there anything unique or new this game offers? This game looked like a blend of many games to me. Games like - Remember Me, GTA, Watch Dogs, Deus Ex, Fallout etc. But I didn't find anything so that I can say, "Oh this is Cyberpunky" when I play other games like I said when I saw those cyber upgrades "Oh this is Deus Exy" or when I saw brainstorming I said "oh this is so Remember Me ish"

    Other than bugs and glitches I don't think these problems will go away. Bugs can be fixed and cdpr looked determined to fix them with several hot fixes, which is good. So I will take it as a story telling games, once the story is done the game is done kind of game. Won't count this as a long term playing rpg like Skyrim or anything or just for having fun doing stuff on open world kind of game like Just Cause. This game could have been the best game of decade, it really had the potential but with these many flaws it is just another game, play, enjoy till the main story ends, uninstall.

    Only reason I gave it 6 ratings is because of the story. I enjoyed it. The character build up is also good. At least that much is expected from cdpr and they did not ruin it on this part. I do not care about console, so no reason to give it 0 for console gamers' sake.

Of those 50hours, I probably averaged 1bug ever minute, had several game breaking bugs, and had to reload my game almost every single mission, sometimes multiple time, but this review and rating will be excluding every bug and performance problems that I had an focus on the gameplay itself. So lets begin and start with the Pros: first off I want to say many of the characters had the best voice acting I have ever heard and just make me fall in love with their story arch wishing I could do more mission with them. Next up has got to be the game beauty, even with ray tracing off and medium setting the game was quite beautiful. The last good thing has got to be the certain side missions and the first few main mission you will do, They are laid out beautifully and absolutely amazing. The story with judy and panam/aldocados has some of the best writing and voice acting and left me wanting more from their story. I was extremely disappointed that they were so short for such important game characters. This is about it for the Pros so next here comes the Cons. First up we got the mediocre driving and melee combat, while gunplay wasn't good I certainly wasn't terrible either. Next we have the AI, which is sadly some of the worst AI I have ever seen. Turn away for 2sec, and you've got a whole new npc and car on the street. Anytime you look away it completely reloads the npcs/object. Often they will even just appear or disappear in front of you. And the police AI is terrible, kill someone accidentally they spawn behind you, no time to react or hide, they just keep spawning behind you the minute you do something. The AI cars are also terribly designed andif you block a road they'll just stop never going around you, and sometimes they'll even stop in the middle of an intersection because the light turned red. This is just the beginning if the issues of the AI but it really ruins the experience, and you could talk about it for hours so ill move on the the story. The storyline is bad atthe beginning, in fact it's good, but after first major part end and the second begins it just gets mediocre, then at the end, after everything the story just feels forced and no matter what you choose you'll die eventually because they decide to just say "you took to many meds" it just seems forced like they did that just to make it more emotional. The ending are terrible snd there no way to really choose a different ending cause they all end just the same way on a basic level. The ending is joy affected by the choices you make either, which is really disappointing considering CDPR advertised it that the choices you made would impact the story and ending. Same goes for the rest of the story it's basically yes, Ahole yes, or [lifepath] yes theres no real consequences or different choices. It's very disappointing. The fact that CDPR advertised this an rpg and then changed it at the last sec to a action fps is very troubling and deserving of a law suit in my opinion. The gameplay itself is rather boring and unless your doing a main side mission or the main story line it's stupidly boring. The other thing that really pissed me off is that if you decide to finish the main story, you're done, that's it, The only way to continue playing is the go back to the last save and never finish the last mission. This is beyond idiotic and really ruins the want to continue playing. RDR2 has a great way of doing their ending where you become a new character and it would allow you to continue playing. I also set them up for possible dlc in-the future. The way cyberpunk is, it makes it nearly impossible for future dlc and if there ever way it would be so short because there are so many options and it would be so expensive. Last few things ill mention is that there is that the romance and relations are so damn short for something they pushed so damn hard. The Lifepaths make no difference except for the first 20min. The city is feels lifeless with the AI issues and there no way to changes you appearance. For a game so far in the future with so much cybernetics, technology, and plastic surgery, you can even change you're damn hair style. Adding on to this the customization of you characters is pitiful and is one of the worst I have ever played. Last I just say that for a game that was and is supposed to be filled with sex and drugs, It feels like your in a strict religious family. The cities full of adverts about BD sex, prostitution, drugs, ect but at the same time you only get 2 npc prostitutes?? On top of this they pushed this game like the romance and relationships would be crazy, when im reality you get 3options and the actual relationship is only for like 1 or two missions. I could go on and on but it seems ive run out of characters to use, so ill leave it at this. Don't buy it mot worth $60… Expand

Theres many things that can be worked on to make it even better but the potential for the future is endless. I would have liked to see a longer game, the option to keep playing and collecting money after the end, more clothes, more interactions based around the gangs in the game and more but it is hard to live up to all of the hype this game built up. Still a great game though and it makes me excited about what the future of Night City can bring.… Expand

    Character customisation is pathetically limited... i've seen free to play games that have more thought about the character put into it than this does sadly. The 'cyberwear' you get to chose in character creation is 14 transparent images that go over your face and basically act like tattoos.

    They could have done something truly amazing with cybernetic arms, legs, and really brought it to a whole new level... but it all got completely ignored and replaced with a 'cookie cutter' creation system that's not even as in depth as 90% of free to play MMORPG's out there online

    The storyline is great, the voice acting is amazing, and the design of the city and layout are truly something fresh and new... it's just the RPG side of it that is seriously being let down... treat it as a standard action / FPS game with story and you're fine...

While others have a similar opinion to mine. Let me explain it.
    The first and the main thing is an among of bugs, such as unprocessed textures, getting objects stuck in walls, etc.. All this little bugs spoiled my expectations and the desire to replay the game several times. Moreover, CD Projekt RED spent 8 years(they announced it in 2012) and 120 million $ on the new Cyberpunk, postponed the coming out of the game 3 times and didn’t prevent bugs which the cheaper games have. Talking about physics, I cannot not to mention car mechanics. I replayed FarCry 3 several weeks ago and the way that cars move, they move very clumsy, is the same as in Cyberpunk 2077. By the way, FarCry 3 came out in 2012. Summing up, CyberPunk 2077 is so overrated due to the immense amount of time of waiting of the release. I mean, people had been looking forward to it for 8 years and thay cannot say, that it is bad due to their desire to justify the time, that spent waiting for this game. It was considered to be the best game in 2020-2021, but the CyberPunk did not meet the expectations of more than 60% of gamers.

The story is interesting and original. The characters are well written and multi-faceted. The world is vast and fun to explore. The combat is satisfying. The soundtrack is fitting, albeit the ads might be a little too wacky. The game is beautiful even on low settings, and the game never drags on. Main story missions can have branches of them as side missions that can come back and effect the main story later on. There are plenty of little easter eggs and details in the world to find (Do you know how to use the 3 shells?). Augmenting your body is fun and really helps the world feel like the cyber future. I have almost 40 hours played and I'm still in Act 2. I haven't had this much fun exploring a game since Yakuza 0.

    But of course, you can't discuss Cyberpunk 2077 without the bad. The game is flat out, full stop, unfinished. I personally have not found or experienced any game breaking bugs, but I realize I've been lucky. Late rendered textures, empty streets, cars disappearing. My character was glitched into a crouch once. I was bugged into a never ending "heart attack" twice. Reported blue screens, poor framerates, and of course the console launch. The voice acting is hit or miss sometimes, with Keanu showing why John Wick and Neo are his best roles. At one point they left in a filler voice line with a completely different woman in the middle of a speech section. There are no consequences for going on a rampage. You could slaughter 50 civilians, drive 300 feet, and police forgot you. There isn't much variety in the loot you can find, with only about 20 total guns in the game (That I can tell). Driving on mouse and keyboard is awful. Idk if it's much better with a controller, but driving feels like every road is an ice sheet, and your brakes are mostly a suggestion.

    C77 was released 6-12 months too early. I see the vision, and I love everything that makes C77 what it is. Every mission is interesting, every side mission is engaging. The story branches with your decisions, and given another solid year of development we would be discussing an instant classic video game. Right now I see a 10/10 game with 5/10 polish. 7/10 right now, but I am very interested in what this game looks like 5 months from now.

    Do I suggest C77? Yes, but understand you're getting a AAA game in what feels like a late Beta. I love it for what it is, but I overlook a lot of small bugs. I can see past them, but to others they might be death by a thousand cuts.

    Story:----
    The Story of Cyberpunk 2077 was marketed as an RPG where your choices and lifepaths had a major difference in how your game will progress but what I played was the exact opposite the lifepaths had little to no effect on the game as a whole as they were only 15min and had little to no story building. The choices, in the end, didn't matter either as even if a person did the sidequest because every ending is bad no matter what you choose.

    Gameplay:---
    The gameplay in Cyberpunk 2077 has different perk trees so that the player can make many builds for many characters adding to replayability but you realize that doesn't matter when the AI is just as bad as Skyrim's Ai. The Ai will repeatedly miss their shots and some will even glitch out due to bugs and even the NPC's who drive cars ai won't drive the car any further if you get even a cm in front of them. The Police AI is not even existent they will legit spawn out of space and time to get you and the police cars don't chase you at all making for a fall flat police system and the player driving cars is just impossible as driving is so bad that you will mostly be crashing all the time or accidentally killing NPC's.

    Graphics:---
    The graphics of Cyberpunk 2077 are beautiful and show the potential for next-gen graphics but sadly due to all the bugs it drags players out of the immersion. One of the bugs is in the BadLands where you are driving and you see lots of cars out in the distance but when you go there location they disappear bringing the player out of their immersion and destroying the experience. The settings in Cyberpunk 2077 also offers players fewer ways to turn down the graphics for players with low rigs such as Anti-Aliasing and more.

    Controls:---
    The controls of Cyberpunk 2077 are fine as they provide options for players to remap keybindings to what they like but CD Project Red should have also included to make dodge one key tap so that many players trying to multi-tap as to sneak quieter would accidentally dodge and be brought out of sneak and into combat.

    Open World:
    Cyberpunk 2077's Open world feels empty as all NPC's offer generic repeated one-liners and the NPC's Ai doesn't show them interacting with the open worlds and objects Though CD Project Red did put some fun Police quest where you would go and take out scavs but sadly after you do it does not impact night city and NPC's don't respond to the player differently in any way. The only interesting open-world quest is the ones given by fixers that give you a small backstory and send you to eliminate some enemies.

    Conclusion: Cyberpunk 2077 is a game riddled with bugs and broken AI and content that was removed or not focused on and I hope CD project Red recovers from this bad game and makes a better one and or patches everything missing in this game back in and removes the bugs because this game has so much potential and I have been having fun playing it but I cannot sit and ignore these problems. Most of the reviews on the PC side of Metacritic are either all 100 or 1 which is very dishonest and shows that either they haven't played the game or they have rose-tinted glasses on and refuse to admit that this game has problems. So CD Project Red please fix the game because if you don't you will lose all the good faith people put in you and will lose fans forever.    … Expand

Been playing their games since Witcher 1, and the general progress each title held for the company was astonishing. Unfortunately with this title areas that compel me the most in games were lacking.

    Witcher 3 and its expansions left such a wonderful aftertaste upon completion. While Cyberpunk's experience felt empty. I don't care at all about the bugs many people are plagued by, what I was looking for was an RPG experience. In Witcher 3 you were significantly rewarded for exploring the world. Your choices mattered, and you could see a direct impact on the world from them. But here there is nothing. One of the most expensive games in history, and yet you it does not hold a candle to a game that was done with third or even less of the budget this one did.

    While there were some very interesting plot points brought up from a philosophical perspective, unfortunately they fell flat at the end of the day. Even their first Witcher had a plot more compelling and memorable compared to what I witnessed here. All in all its a true shame, and for me the writers really screwed up on this title. Makes me wonder if even the same team was working on it.

    But kudos to the art, level design and music teams. They really excelled and for that gotta bump up the score to a 7/10.    … Expand

It's Mass Effect 3 the Sequel.

    TLDR points...
    1. the game is structurally flawed
    2. your in game decisions are largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things
    3. it's pretty to look at, if you've got top tier hardware
    4. there are many broken or unplayable/unusable elements
    5. there are lots of bugs so you're paying to beta/alpha test this... perhaps in 6 months to a year it might be better

    Longer commentary

    For me this game breaks the cardinal rule of RPG's / Action RPG's in that your actions in game should have real meaning... and for me, or at least in my experience I see that they don't. It doesn't matter if I played everything (and I did 90 hours) or if I'd followed what most of the media/YouTube reviewers did and played the main story etc (20ish hours)... at the end you're ultimately presented with a single choice... there are paths to this choice which are unlocked by what you played but regardless of those paths, they all converge to a single binary choice... just like in Mass Effect 3 - how would you like to die

    My gold standard RPG/aRPG is Mass Effect 2... because in that game, if you play it just right, make the right calls at the right time, you can save everyone and have a happy ending. it's not easy and I failed a few times... but it is possible. And CP'77 would have the potential for this if the writers had deemed it thusly. It's a factor of two (possibly both) things... time or douchery. I get the distinct impression that they were rushed, that they didn't have the time they needed to make this what they claimed it would be.... it certainly wasn't shipped when it was ready, that much is clear. But there were so many opportunities for the story to be better, that I have to wonder if these were deliberate decisions to take a large dump on the player from a great height. Opportunities to merge with your decision in a more compatible way, for the relationships that you choose to pursue to have real meaning, rather than just another check in the box. I chose to romance a character, and apart from the quest line which lead me to the conclusion of that romance, that was about all the interaction I had with that character... there were so many times it could have been woven into conversation or into decisions later on... but nope.
    Those of you that played the Witcher 3 know there are ways to get the 'bad' ending, and the 'good' ending... for me all the endings here are terrible because I feel that basically no matter what I did in the game, my end result wouldn't have changed... ultimately I'm indy in RotLA.

    I want to believe that the writers weren't trolling us... but maybe they were... using Hope as the carrot.. I also feel that there are great parallels with the Matrix as the story uses hope and choice like a carrot and stick... they're both an illusion.

    "Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness" the Architect.

    we are lead down the path that there is a way out, and then you find very quickly that is just another form of control... that ultimately your choices are meaningless.

    The game is structurally flawed (IMHO)... there is no reason for it to finish the way it does, and really i can't understand why CDPR chose it to be this way... there is no reason that you can't persist in the world after the main story line is complete... why the inevitable DLC's and Expansions need to be shoehorned into the story before the P.O.N.R.. I look to GTA5 for this as a persistent world that doesn't have it's main story as the 'be all and end all' of the world.... No amount of patches will change this...

    As for technical things... the game is a mess, there are bugs everywhere, the code is grossly unoptimized and a LOT of the QA process was either rushed or simply not done. I say this as a software designer and tester (not games)... there are things in this system which are wholly unacceptable but were clearly deprecated in priority to simply get it out the door. Even though this is a PC review, you can completely see why Sony have removed it from their store.

    I'll finish with some good points... it's a pretty game (when it's working), Night City is amazing in it's scope and concept. however, the execution is poor. I don't need to revisit others comments on how laughable the NPC AI is. but conceptually it is a visual spectacle. I have taken many fantastic screenshots with photo mode which I really treasure

    In conclusion... i feel disappointed and let down. I waited 8 years for the game, and really hoped that it would match the output that CDPR had achieved before. put aside the technical elements that can be fixed, the game (for me) is devoid of the heart that made the Witcher series... and it didn't need to have that missing...

    As Snake from the Simpsons says... Close but no donut Cop..

The biggest flaw IMO is the police/wanted system it's completely unfinished or broken, police spawn behind you in droves and slaughter you for any crime and they don't even chase you in cars.

    on the plus side, the setting of night city is a winner. the characters are all great especially Keanu Reeve's character Johnny Silverhand. the gameplay is good but feels to RPG heavy with you starting off with weak weapons then becoming overpowered by the end of the game.

    also, the perk or skill tree is overwhelming there are so many perks it makes planning a character build a nightmare. the inventory is just as cluttered and hard to use. it lacked basic features such as a "favorite" system or a way to lock your (rare & unique) from being sold accidentally

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is nowhere near as good as some fanboys are making it out to be, but also nowhere near as bad as most people think. It has a very good story which feels short because most of the story is also beefed by the side missions. Speaking of, side missions range from well-developed and interesting, to by the numbers map filler, though granted is nowhere near Ubisoft level of repetition. Every character feels fleshed out and well done, they feel like days of research and lore building were gone into creating these characters. Not one single character feels one-note, boring or lacking personality. Even some minor characters feel real. Of course, I'm talking about characters who aren't pedestrians, but we'll get to that later.
    This game could have been revolutionary thanks to these core strengths, unfortunately even the most basic of RPG elements weren't there. You can't get a haircut, you cannot customize your car, ou can't buy new houses, there is no public transport; no flying cars or high-tech buses, NPCs don't interact well with...anything, the weapons are cool, but you can't do stealth kills with melee weapons, which is a shame. Many characters, despite being good, have wasted opportunities for deeper storylines and potential romances. The gameplay therefore feels unsatisfying, leaving you wanting just...more. More of what? Just more. A futuristic zoo where the animals that are left are being preserved would have been nice, future baseball or football, NBA, those would have been cool additions. Besides the one racing storyline, we cannot race in our leisure, there's no Pachinko minigame despite the machines there; if the gameplay took a more Yakuza style, this could have been an amazing game, but sadly, it just wasn't the case. I want to be able to eat at restaurants, dance at night clubs whenever and not just when the story demands I go to a nightclub. These basic things aren't even in the game and it just ruins the immersion altogether. When the game is at its best, I feel a part of night city; alive, bustling, like I'm one of the NPCs just going about their daily lives, but at its worst, I feel like I'm just playing any old shooter where the mission is to get from here to there. As an action-adventure, it's fine, but if it were designed with all the promised RPG elements that should have been in the game anyway, it might have been amazing.
    All in all, while it IS a good game, simply "good" is just not good enough. A lot of things in the game just make you go "Cool, I appreciate that it's there, but...that's it?" And of course, the bugs. They can be funny at times, which I cannot get angry at; I mean, if I enjoyed seeing a car clip through a cutscene, then that's no problem, but sometimes I die for absolutely no reason, I clip my own car and fly a few hundred meters back, once again, the immersion is lost. I had fun, enjoyed the story, but without the basic RPG elements, there is hardly any replay value once the main story and major side quests are finished. Which is a shame.    … Expand

    Many systems perform only mediocrely, the inventory system seems a blatant copy from Deus Ex but far worse, the items are just generally uninteresting, there are many weapon copies and the inventory is far too large, another example: there are 2 medical items, one heals instantly and the other over time, but there is no reason not to use the non-instant one at all as it isn't really rarer or more expensive making it feel like a low effort copy to create the illusion of options. Then there is the vehicles, I just didn't buy any because the game isn't enjoyable for long enough to bother getting a vechicle. Stealth is also an example of the unpolished mechanics, just like the Deus Ex games you have an energy currency for powerful attacks and hacks, but they are quite overpowered and poorly balanced, sometimes takedowns are even disabled in missions because they couldnt balance them and no wonder, you can blind enemies with the attack points you get, which basically means you can take down any isolated enemy but doing so requires you to wait a minute before each attack to regain your attack points, trying to hide how broken the hacks are by forcing you to wait between attacks.    … Expand

    much really in Nightcity... I'm not talking about the quests and missions but interaction with the city
    are non-excistent, a few joy toys and places to buy food. I was expecting to get brain dances everywhere,
    take people to the appartment to have sex, pick up joy toys in every neighbourhood ,and dance to music in
    lots and lots and lots of places, take a taxi home with someone as i've said...just do freak bad ass fun stuff!

    But all this is a smoke screen, I know a few game studio's who could have made this game in 2 years
    man!!!
    I knew it when they annouched cyberpunk 2077 would be first person perspective, that the game would
    fundamentally different from anything cdpr had done before!
    cdpr should have sticked to the 3rd person perspective and make the game work with guns etc, the Witcher
    3 is beloved by many for obvious reasons!
    That said, the game doesn't know what it wants to be, it's not a rpg and it's not a first person shooter, and
    it's not a first person adventure game either... and if you think away all the great missions the game

    I try not to talk about bugs and performance, i think enough people are doing this already.

    There is just nothing really standing out whatsoever.
    I finished the game and cant remember a single "breathtaking" moment.
    I tried to like it so much more, but even after 40 hours, seeing a lot, doing a bunch of sidequests, its just this bland mix of things you already encountered in other games - often executed better than in CP2077.

    The city and spaces are vast but there is so little interaction with it.
    Ill never understand how "a bigger map" than other games or a previous game is something to look forward to.
    Make it half the size and focus on something else - as a player you still wont EVER see everything - even after 100 hours of playing.

    Most of the Skillsystem is useless.
    Im not saying that its boring because I personally dont like it.
    Im sure there are people who like to play a certain style so there is a lot to choose from but...
    Getting stronger doesnt feel rewarding at all. Levelcap on items makes doing harder quests for the thrill completely obsolete and not fun at all.
    On the hardest difficulty "hits" just randomly oneshot you more often and people have more Hp - thats hardly nice balancing.

    No Quests that give you the feeling of being in danger.
    No high risk high reward scenarios.
    The loot and even the process of looting felt horrible.
    You only go for color indicators, nothing to really look forward to.
    The inventory takes you completely out of the game - too slow, too clunky, no clear overview of anything - selling is an extremely painful since it lets you sell the things you have equipped and always asks if you REALLY want to sell a legendary item or something you got equipped, also its very slow.

    Ill leave it at that, i could go on and on and on.
    It feels like CDPR fell victim to the same thing every company thats too big, or that got too big quickly becomes a victim to: The wrong people are in charge, the wrong people make important decisions - not only bad decisions but also just moneydriven decisions - its not a project of "heart" anymore, Im certain its not the lack talent of some people but it feels like the get shut down by the "moneymen". Its just another title to fill the wallet.
    Too bad it has to be like this, i guess there is no way around it.
    Even Blizzard and Bethsda got caught - but only after a long reign of wonderful sunshine.

    I dont think DLC's can fix Cyberpunk - maybe im just saying this out of desperation but i honestly think there are just too many things that are not good (enough) in this game.

A buggy mess is my main take. The framerate with DLSS off is very unstable. The audio indoors has some weird inside a tin can effect. Toggling crouch works when it wants to. Unable to pick things up off the ground. Unable to remap the F (pick up) key. Characters clipping through walls. We better not talk about the AI. What CDPR failed to realize here is you can create a open world, but when you have these types of bugs which are so jarring, it pulls you right out of it. It reminds you it’s just a video game, and a buggy one at that. Again I say, 8 years.

    Performance? Forget about it unless you’re on the latest and greatest. I’d say my rig isn’t a slouch. Certainly not the best, but definitely not a pushover. Settings in this game cripple it. Ray Tracing? Unless you’re ONLY using the base option on medium, get ready for a hit. And as stated above, turning off DLSS at 2160p or 1440p will TANK your FPS to 30 or sub 30. Only after a couple of hours tweaking was I able to maintain 60+ in Night City at almost all times. “Almost” because you’ll still get drops seemingly out of nowhere.

    Now I will say this; compared to the console version the PC version looks much closer to what CDPR showed us all those years ago. Unlike its console counterpart, the city is vibrant with NPCs making it feel alive visually. And the art direction really is great if you’re into the whole cyberpunk aesthetic. But the dialogue feels try-hard. Beating you over the head with slang and lingo. It just tries so hard to show you how much of an edgelord it is. If the Hot Topic t-shirt wall was a video game? Well this is it; Cyberpunk 2077.

    Combat I mean I guess you could play sneaky? Stealth and hack your way through, but not sure what it really gets you aside from personal enjoyment. So far I see no real need to do it as you can just faceroll enemies with guns and melee. So unless you just want to feel all sneaky and spend way more time during encounters? Not sure the value of playing it without going in guns blazing. Maybe that will change further along, but sure hasn’t here in the first few hours. Combat feels chaotic, clunky, and at times claustrophobic.

    I know. I know. How can I give it a review if I’ve not beaten it or spent 1000000 hours on it. And I’m not admitting to having beaten the game yet, but being several hours in up to this point now I can say that Cyberpunk 2077 is feeling like all flash and no substance. At its surface it looks like a world brimming with possibility. But at every turn you peel a layer back and see that it’s paper thin. No depth to the world. And after the initial prettiness of the world wears off? You’re left with what feels like a hallow world devoid of any real substance or depth. Only thing keeping it from one star is the art direction and some of the voice acting which at times was solid, but the lines can be cringy.

    CDPR really aimed high with this one and landed well, well short of the mark. A soulless game full of bugs that could’ve used more time in development and stronger direction. Next time they should just stick with what they are good at.

    Wait for a sale and/or for SEVERAL patches. And even then, lower your expectations dramatically. This is NOT the future.    … Expand

    As far as an RPG Cyberpunk is severely lacking. It has similar cause and effect as something like Red Dead Redemption 2, with the game mostly being exactly the same bar a few minor differences based on dialogue options, and a few different cutscenes. Outside of that there’s almost no RPG elements, limited customisation, a superficial empty world with zero interaction, and an awful loot system. The story missions are fun, but I find myself not caring for the characters and it all feels quite rushed. The writing is nothing special and often I’m confused on what is really happening. Graphically the game is fine, nothing amazing, but it doesn’t look bad either. There are many better looking games out there. (And there are plenty of graphical bugs)
    There’s almost no feel to Night City, locations have no backstory or lore, side quests just send you to a building and you kill everyone inside, that’s it. Overall this game is disappointing, lacking features and definitely shouldn’t have been released in this state. Despite that it has some fun elements, so a 6 is justified. Pick it up when it’s on sale as the game is big enough for some hours of fun but just don’t expect anything to really get your teeth into.    … Expand

    The world and its aesthetic looks fantastic and is filled with interesting stuff, but at the same time it feels so empty. The NPCs AI are all so basic and makes San Andreas look complex. The Police AI is a joke and is actually worse than any Rockstar game (Yes, even GTA 1). The street vendors, food stalls etc are mostly non-interactive and makes you feel like you're only a spectator of the world.
    There are not a lot of cars or people in the world for being a large metropolis (Probably due to FPS drops). Random events in the world is basically non-existant. There is so much, but yet so little.

    The storyline is really interesting with great characters. It' trully is the greatest aspect of the game and in my opinion is the true beacon of light. I would go in to depth of the characters, but I want to keep this as spoiler free as possible. Let's just say it won't dissapoint you and would in my opinion be the driving force for you to continue playing. The issues I have are the variety of dialogue choices and V's life path is not important whatsoever.

    The gameplay itself is decent. Some of the combat feels clunky, the shooting is what you expect from a FPS shooter. Stealth is less than avarage, and the same goes to when you need to take cover. The driviing is slow and can feel a bit awkward. I find the RPG element interesting, but it's not really a lot to it. I'd say the RPG element is okay at best. The physics of the game is okay, not amazing. All in all, it's a decent FPS game with some RPG elements to it, and that's all it is. It's decent at best.

    The customisation in the game is pretty bad. You get to customise your character in the beginning, and that's basically it. No customisation to your body, hair, vehicle, weapons or anything like that later in the game. It makes the game feel much less personal and interactive. There are no garage or parking lots for you to save your car. There are also no meaningful construct of a personality to the character.

    This is a game that is very good in terms of story and world, but at best avarage on almost everything else. I wish I would like it more than I did, but it never really delivered the immersion that I expected. Disappointing experiece.    … Expand

    The game isn't done. The bugs are fine, it's buggy, it's a new release, no worries. That will happen in any own world game, and usually gets fixed. You shouldn't be playing this game on a last gen console, that's not the way to play this game. The world is dead. You can talk to a food vendor about the shrimp they are selling, then when you try to buy food from them, they don't sell shrimp.The game isn't done.

    They tried to combine Fallout and Deus EX, and they failed! Better for them to make games in 3th person like Witcher!

    The best metaphor for Cyberpunk 2077 is Johnny Silverhand himself. A messiah, a mix of Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara, a talented singer who loves to shape his own legend and has a charming personality but loses the struggle with his own demons. The same goes for the game. It tells a great story and forced me to ask myself difficult questions, but many of its gameplay mechanics do not evolve and its technical state upon release was abysmal. Cyberpunk’s true hero is not a person, but Night City – a vibrant, living creature of great diversity. The beauty of the metropolis is striking. [01/2021, p.22]

    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most disturbing and mind-blowing RPGs in history, where every decision has a deep impact on our trail. CD Projekt RED tosses us to the center of a city filled with disgusting delights where every character deserves our attention in an immersive experience and overall, very rewarding. From the sarcastic and shadowy tone imposed by the countless scenes in the game, to the flexibility we have on the choices to face every situation that is presented, Night City is truly memorable. It’s a shame that the countless bugs spoil or diminish the impact of some resounding moments, but we are without a question, in the presence of one of the best games in 2020.

    Measured against the extreme expectations, Cyberpunk 2077 can't fulfill any of them. But all in all, despite the countless small weaknesses and inconsistences, with interesting characters, great story and dialogues or the freedom concerning gameplay, CD Projekt delivers a unique and great RPG that every fan of the genre needs to play.
