    Cyberpunk intense hype and expectation of next generation gaming are very misleading. The bugs really break the immersion of the story. The AI is very poor for a game of its magnitude as well as the physics.
    The visual experience of the game only comes when running on high resolution and HDR. Otherwise all the details look very grainy and noisy, crunking up settings does not help either.

    I am very dissapointed, as i did not felt i had a "Next-Gen" experience. Everything in the game looks and feel just like everything else we might have in older games.

    So my advice is to wait some months until the game get more stable and optimized thhought patches. and play it at least 2k HDR for some decent experience.

    The visuals of this game are amazing. The storyline (at the beginning) is captivating and sets you up to think your heading for a real adventure. However, that's where it all stops. The rest of the game outside the prologue is very repetitive and the cracks begin to appear.

    The AI is terrible, worse than Farcry 3 which came out over ten years ago. The police spawning system is laughable

    The AI is terrible, worse than Farcry 3 which came out over ten years ago. The police spawning system is laughable (they spawn out of nowhere). Your character development is non-existent beyond the limited cosmetic changes you can make at the start, and what's worse is the constant adverts reminding you of the augmentations everyone else is enjoying around you.

    This game looks amazing, the storyline is interesting and probably the best I've played since Detroit become human, but beyond that, it's flat. A good analogy would be as wide as the ocean but as deep as a puddle.

    I think this game needed a good two more years of development. It would have given them time to really make the game perfect including working on the abysmal AI and including all the features they promised in the trailers and build-up to in the game itself (I'm guessing they cut a lot of content, way too many loose ends in the game and random dialogue which doesn't make sense). I think we would have forgiven them given what's happening in the world. This feels rushed and it's a real shame.

The fact is that there are errors, glitches, shortcomings. Which game doesn't have them. I don't look at ps4 and don't judge other versions because I'm playing pc. I think it's a great game with a great storyline. You can only play the storyline and you'll have a great time, and you can also catch every marker on the map and it'll be great too. It is true that I do not like opponents who swallow lead like a drug hypochondriac and the points flying out of them, but the world in which this happens eliminates this experience, giving me great fun in the cyberpunk universe.

    Having lived the hype for this game for several months and recently sunk my teeth into it for 40+ hours I can say I enjoyed playing this game. However, I am left with little of the satisfaction I had compared to similarly hyped single-player AAA games.

    Whilst much news has been made of the bugs experienced on consoles, playing on a mid-range PC I experienced few major ones and nothing I'm not prepared to forgive (if I could love the Elder Scrolls despite it's bugs this is nothing).

    The real issue is the lack of meaningful choices- many missions offer you choices in how to complete them but very few actually result in meaningfully different outcomes. Their are no factions you can join, so no gangs or corps that you can choose to work with treat you differently after their missions are complete. There are several interesting side quests but these again don't impact much of the wider world once completed.

    In comparison to say Fallout New Vegas, your skills and attributes rarely offer consequential dialogue options (only yellow dialogue options progress the story). As for romance there are several short lived romance cut-scenes, but as a straight man (which I'll wager is the majority of players) I was given only one choice for an actual romance- and I would argue one option is not a choice.

    Lastly, without spoilers, none of the main mission endings allows you to continue playing in the open world, which really disappointed me. As an open world this game pales in comparison to the likes of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls or Fallout. As a linear story this game doesn't carry the weight of say Bioware's Mass Effect or Dragon Age (or even KOTOR before them). Simply put, older games have achieved more with older technology and for such a grand game 8 years in the making Cyberpunk 2077 will fall well short of most gamers' expectations in the long run!

    The only thing that can save this game are many patches and many expansive story DLC.

    As far as the open world goes, visually it looks amazing with ray tracing features enabled but gameplay wise its just another checklist of a map to clear. How you came across side quests almost felt natural in The Witcher 3 but in Cyberpunk 2077 its all there laid out on the map to clear to just rinse and repeat these combat encounters. Which are enjoyable at first but soon start to feel kind of the same. Its clear a lot of content for the open world was cut in order to push this game out of the door.

    My advise: wait a couple of months and give the devs a change to finish the game.
    Because I honestly believe this awful launch is attributed to incomprehensible missmanagement.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played the game for some 40h, already done 2 times the final mission with different final and i have to say that the game is not that good, below the expected, the story is good, the voices and narrative are mostly good, for an open world, it feels kinda of an story driven world instead of open world, at first i was playing and driving all around and when i was already with 15h, didnt want to travel by car because the city feels equal in everywere you are, driving is a mess, a little break puts the car drifting as hell and some cars almost dont turn, motorcycles the same but with more drift, fights with weapons feels quite good and the immersion of the game in first person is pretty good, characters in anyways feels like they arent really persons, because you call them and you pass by them and you cant tell anything new, feels like your talking to an robot, it is bad so simp for a person and the person feeling like a robot in the end, adult cutscenes looks pretty bad for expectation, character customization is good but could be better starting with the tattos, theres almost no tattos to choose, choosing the backstory of the char (nomad, street kid and corpo) are just different in the first steps and adds a new narrative in some dialogues but thats all, i was expecting different stories :/ , Missions sometimes feel too much boring. feelsbadman :( was expecting better Expand

    На 16.04.21 игра получила кучу обновлений, но техническая часть до сих пор хромает.
    Я прошел всю игру на 100% и могу сказать что игра имеет достаточно хорошую графику на моем ПК (2070 Super). Но до сих пор имеет кучу незначительных багов (которые фиксятся от патча к патчу), "софтлок" же квестов почти отсутствует. Имеются немного интересных второстепенных квестов, но в тоже время имеется куча неинтересных "пойди/убей/принеси".
    В целом складывается картина так, что проект рано выпустили, и в спешке начали чинить игру так, чтобы юзер мог пройти игру без всякой боли.
    Для меня лично проект был многообещающим, но все мы знаем как вышло.
    В будущем обещали DLC и мультиплеер, но мультиплеер уже отменили, а DLC отодвинули на дальний срок.
    Стоит сыграть в данный проект? Однозначного ответа нет. Если вам нравится стилистика и вам не страшны баги, а также вы имеете хороший ПК/консоль, то стоит попробовать.

    This is a great game in itself, but compared to all what was promised... it makes me sad. I expected more from CDPR and by the looks of their PR attitude they don't seem to acknowledge that, which makes me even sadder. They should shut up and work 200% on the game this year to bring it to the level of what they promised.

Putting aside the bugs and the underhanded hiding of the console versions and just reviewing the game's content, I still give the writing and narrative a 9/10, easily. And the music is easily a 8 or 9 as well. Beyond that though?

    The open world design feels dated and is lacking a lot of things that its contemporaries in the same genre have. Something as simple as a barber shop/appearance changing area for example. How is it that I'm playing a game about transhumanism where looks and attitude are everything, yet I can't change my V's appearance AT ALL after initial character creation? The most I can do is change clothes but even that's a joke because clothes are stat sticks, so we all end up looking like hobos wearing a hodgepodge of crap.

    There are almost no side distractions (not to be confused with side missions) as there are in other open world games; Some games are guilty of cramming too many distractions in but they're optional things you can safely avoid, but in Cyberpunk there's almost none. They tease you with braindance parlors but you can't go watch a braindance on your own time. Bars exist, but you can't do much with them. There are arcade and pachinko machines all over, but they're just non-interactive textures. The way CDPR talked about the dense cityscape, I was somewhat expecting a good mix between something like GTA and Yakuza, with a lot of side distractions that you could waste your time on. Maybe I expected too much in that regard but it doesn't even have as many distractions as the last three AC games or even GTA games from three generations ago.

    The RPG elements are equally as mediocre. I've already mentioned the clothing-as-stat-sticks, which is annoying enough (seriously, clothing items should be cosmetic and have mod slots with mods that work with your cyberware for stats, what an amazing concept, amirite??) but the stats themselves are just awful. Progressing armor or damage by tenths of percentages? Ugh. Lifepaths have no meaning beyond some inconsequential dialog choices and the intro sequence. Dialog is a linear affair, always ending up having you say what the game wants you to, and there's no real way to shape YOUR V the way YOU want. In the same place in the game, my Corpo Fem V and my Nomad Male V are functionally identical; both smart ass mercs who say what they want regardless of my input and don't act any different based on their history in Night City. Both crafting and the game economy are fundamentally broken, in its present state you can find myriad videos online showing you how to exploit the brokenness for millions of eddies in mere minutes.

    The menu and inventory system is just god awful. I'm having genuine flashbacks to launch Mass Effect 1 back on X360 where I was spending more time dismantling the same gear into omnigel and fiddling with mod slots more than I was playing segments of the game. Same thing here. The menu and inventory system is such a cluttered affair that you spend more time clicking through submenus and looking at gear stats and character points than you do playing. This ties into the RPG elements -- it feels like it could have been better designed and somewhat streamlined a bit. It doesn't need to gut the elements as much as Mass Effect did from ME1 to ME2 but it definitely needs some focus and tightening up.

    Driving and shooting are passable. Melee feels like an afterthought though and is a pain in the ass to pull off even when properly built for it. Or maybe I'm just bad. But that's a minor complaint compared to the rest.

    All in all, the game feels like a 7/10, tops, without the bugs. Solid writing, solid music and sound effects, but the rest of the game is just middle of the pack in the genre. Certainly not the "next generation of open world games" as their launch trailer touted.

    A classic example of why companies need to stop rushing the game out of the door just to meet deadlines. Underneath the glitches, performance issues and game breaking lays a game with breath taking graphics, amazing story and characters.

    A classic example of why companies need to stop rushing the game out of the door just to meet deadlines. Underneath the glitches, performance issues and game breaking lays a game with breath taking graphics, amazing story and characters.

    Night City is in my opinion the best looking game world so far, the Blade Runner inspired world is a joy to explore seeing how different each section of the city looks, however, there's not much to do in Night City. You can't customise your vehicles, gamble or even change your characters appearance, So far I haven't found a single mini game, I can't even play on the arcades or get a braindance from a stripper. , I thought I would get something similar to Gwent or hell even play the table top games Cyberpunk 2077 is a continuation of. Wouldn't be great if you relive some of the stories that Cyberpunk 2013/2020 told but as playable side missions where your main character would have to wear a VR headset to relive the memories of the characters in the tabletop. The only thing you can do in night city is side missions and I haven't played a bad one so far. Most of them are pretty entertaining and a bit emotional at times.

    The characters are written very well and most of them are likable. I like Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand i think he did well for the most part.

    The gunplay and combat is decent but not amazing it can janky at times and the driving needs to be a little bit better but it's still okay if you play on a controller, the traffic AI needs a complete rework hopefully it will be solved in patches and the hacking is enjoyable.

    The glitches, the bugs and the performance are the biggest problem with the game. it's hard to get immersed in the world when your vehicle randomly glitches out or NPCs in the world walk through each other and vehicles, Police randomly spawn out of nowhere and the enemy AI isn't very smart at all, they are average or even brain dead stupid at times. some of them will stand there while you are shooting at them, and some quests you do will glitch out at times forcing you to go back to your last save which does resolve the issue.

    Even the patches that has been released it hasn't solved much of the issue. It still functions though well... on PC, the consoles? forget about it, the console versions aren't worth buying yet.

    I hope the PS5 and Xbox x series versions are handled better. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON CONSOLES UNLESS YOU HAVE A PS5/ XBOX X SERIES. Also optimisation needs to be fixed. some areas I get 45 fps others 30, I do have an RTX 2060 and while I enjoy using Ray tracing, it's hard to get a decent frame rate with RTX on, even with DLSS on sometimes I below 30 fps at certain places within the game. If you have an RTX 2060, put DLSS on Balanced to get above 40 FPS, if you aren't bothered too much about framerate being nearly locked on 30 stick it to quality.

    Also features are missing, not everything you do effects the story and the ability to bribe cops and get powerful NPCs.chasing after you are gone from this game. I hope they add it back in a patch because it would make the game better

    Despite all of its problems I still enjoy everything else about the game. Hopefully in a couple of months the game will be fixed mostly and perform better and hopefully more features will be added by the end of the year as I do feel that apart of the game is missing. Once most of the bugs and glitches are fixed I re score this review an 8 and if they add more features that are good of course I will re score it a 9 maybe even a 10. This game desperately needed another delay maybe another year in development because if it was given more time we could of seen a potential game of the year for 2021/2022 and it might have lived up to most of it's very expectations.

    For anyone that doesn't have this game yet, get it within a few months, hopefully by the, the game would be mostly fixed.

    First things first, the bugs are a problem. I have had numerous crashes that have forced me to go back to previoussaves just to avoid a crash loop on every reload. There are many other bugs that affect how missions play out, or how enemies behave. Its a problem that needs fixing and the game is probably atleast 6 months away from being "good to go".

    But the game has so much potential, the story is great and well paced. The world is large and varied, but the side quests do feel a little shallow so far.

    There are features I would like to see implemented in the future (one all the bugs are fixed), like being able to move stats across clothing to be able to build a look without looking like you've been dumpster diving outside a charity shop.

    The game needs work, if you haven't bought it already then I would recommend waiting a few months to let them iron out the kinks. But if you have bought it, then stop moaning and go and enjoy it - atleast until that next crash.

The gameplay is comparable to Fallout 4 or Eidos' Deus Ex series, in that it's a first person shooter with RPG elements plus some looter elements of Borderlands. Customization and gampelay aren't as deep as Deus Ex though, and the action oriented gampelay route is often the one that's most rewarded. The story and characters are interesting and serviceable, but aren't as compelling as CDBR's Witcher 3. There are quite a few bugs at launch, with fairly frequent texture pop-ins, missing collisions, glitchy NPCs, and key binds that need to be manually changed in the config file. The game also requires quite a beefy rig o play. Expand

This game should not have been released in this state, especially on consoles. So far it's been alright on PC but still have immersion breaking bugs. I will buy again... down the line eventually, when this game is actually ready.

Though the game excels at drawing you into and immersing the player into its world, it struggles to actually be a good game. Even after the latest patch, there are still glitches everywhere, Normal difficulty is too easy, Hard is too hard, questionable "progressive" design choices, the dialogue suffers from Fallout 4 ambiguity and offers the illusion of choice, perk system seems unnecessarily complex and pointless, crafting is tedious, inventory management is a nightmare, it just goes on and on. The combat and game would be much more fun if more thought and effort went into its design. Style over substance. It could have been much, much more. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll keep this short and sweet with bullet points showing my disappointments with this game.
    - Barely any meaningful dialogue options, they are all incredibly linear and lead to the same thing
    - I expected choices, to be able to save characters like Jackie or Evelyn, but the game is linear as ****
    - Combat is average to below average, enemies are bullet sponges and they usually don't care about their safety and will just stand there while you unload into them. The ai is just bad.
    - The lifepath you choose is a 5 minute cutscene before it throws you back on the linear path.
    - Serious lack of romance options
    -The world feels incredibly dull and there's no way to interact with it
    - The npcs are like something out of a ps2 game. They just wander around and bump into each other and you will see the same model over and over, sometimes you see 2 of the same npcs standing side by side.

    I cannot recommend this game and you should ignore the blind fanboys giving this game a 10/10

    Everyone should watch some gameplay before they buy this game and not because of the glitches. The main character is a bag and they way he delivers almost every line is cringe worthy. If you can get past that the game has a ton of sub par elements to enjoy.

Bugs on top, some of them game breaking (like key characters not showing up at all) are not even considered in the end score for me, as they will get patched eventually.

    It doesn't do anything previous games hadn't done before. It does do most of it better.

    It is a very bad PC port, with terrible men navigation clearly built for a Controller, rather than a Mouse. Performance is questionable at best. The Anti-Aliasing, I believe, is TAA. It is hard-baked in and it is implemented with bugs. The usual artifacting presents itself; Fuzzy surfaces, ghosting image trailing behind moving objects.

    Combat is jarringly bad. Melee combat is a joke. Gunplay, similarly so. While the guns themselves are all unique and fun to shoot, enemies suffer from the Destiny-itus. Bullet Sponges, even with pure headshots and a crit chance build.

    The character progression is a joke. Small percentages of sword damage or crit chance here or there. I might as well have none of it. Cyberware similarly so. They add nothing to the game. No unique progression paths. They are just things you can get, but you might as well not have them.

    Skillchecks in dialogues and around the open world are probably the most entertaining parts of the Skillpoint system. Ripping doors off the hinges or talking someone's ears off until they give you what you want is entertaining. Like it always is in these types of games.

    Side activities are ample, even the fetch quests are tailored to fit the universe. Side quests are entertaining and memorable.

    The main story itself is, passable. Silverhand is an entertaining companion, however the story gets railroaded down 4 different paths towards 4 different endings and this becomes very obvious, very, very early on.

    Last but not least, the bugs. Terrible. Puts Bethesda to shame twice over. I've fallen through the map into the Void Dimension multiple times, became invincible a few times, lost sound completely, lost sound partially, random floating items, T-posing NPCs, inability to progress Dialogue forcing a reload, dialogues clipping into one another a plethora of times. In short, a jarring, unforgivable mess. The game is a contender for buggiest game ever released, in the company of Fallout 76.

    I do not believe future patches will be able to address all the technical issues.

    As it stands, Cyberpunk does not deserve your money as a consumer. Wait for a heavy, HEAVY discount. 85%+ or so. Stay away from the Season Pass. Stay away from the Expansions. Wait for a sequel, if they'll ever make one.

    Beautifully boring is the best way to describe it. The world is just not interesting and despite the detail and effort put into it, feels hollow. Enemies are all the same, combat is a joke even on the hardest difficulty, and the characters just dont pull you in.

    They did do a good job with the main quest line so props there, its what I expect from the guys who made Witcher, but they really need to learn how to make more engaging side quests and gameplay. Witcher suffered from similar problem, it just got boring towards the end because AI is not interesting or challenging. But the world of Witcher was just more interesting to me. Maybe its because its so foreign. Cyberpunk pretty much looks like a normal urban city. Sure there are some tech upgrades to people and objects but otherwise, it looks very much like real life. Which I find, boring I guess.

    I also feel like the RPG elements of character building are thrown in without thought and have little to no impact. You literally can avoid them near entirely and it wont stop you from trivializing the game with just found gear. Gear is also a mess. Stuff you find gets outclassed really fast and nothing is really special, not even the so called iconic items. Crafting is too simple to be interesting too and the economy.... what economy? Money falls off trees. Its only a small issue early in the game and then money is worthless.

    One note. I didnt have any major technical issues with the game on the PC. It fired up fine on high on my GTS 980 which is very old. I did edit the config file to allow for more RAM. There are bugs in the game, like NPC im-persistence and cars clipping into the ground (just saw it once) and walking through a wall. But nothing game breaking.

    All in all, it was an average game for me but I can see why some might like it. I wasnt a fan of GTA either so I suppose its fair to say these games are just not my cut of tea.

    Never been so torn on a video game my whole life. On one hand, there's the 180 hours I spent with CP2077 and genuinely enjoyed. On the other hand, I'm dying inside, thinking about the potential it had. Herein lies the biggest problem. What Cyberpunk does well, it does extraordinarily well. But where it falls, it falls so hard that it actually hurts. Don't get me wrong. It's not a bad game.Never been so torn on a video game my whole life. On one hand, there's the 180 hours I spent with CP2077 and genuinely enjoyed. On the other hand, I'm dying inside, thinking about the potential it had. Herein lies the biggest problem. What Cyberpunk does well, it does extraordinarily well. But where it falls, it falls so hard that it actually hurts. Don't get me wrong. It's not a bad game. At all. I do recommend it.

    The world is, for lack of a better word, breathtaking. I found myself just looking and taking in the sights more times than I can count. This is truly a beautiful work of art. One of best looking games I've seen by far, both technically and artistically. The characters, story and narrative are another high point. I loved them. All of them. They had such unique persona's, each with strengths and weaknesses. Their dialogue, voice acting, motion capture and even the small facial expressions are absolutely top notch. They almost feel real. There is so much love and care in here, it's practically bursting at the seams.

    Of course it goes without saying but there is A LOT that is currently wrong or straight up missing. Stability is the major roadblock as of now. Granted, I didn't run into any game-breaking bugs but visual glitches, audio hiccups and physics bugouts are a regular part of the experience. As is braindead or non-existent AI. It really, really sucks. The other major issue is that this is an open-world game that is completely lacking in open-world mechanics. There's really nothing you can do outside of predetermined missions. Maybe you can drive around or go for a walk, but even that's a stretch as the number of glitches you'll run into will immediately bring you out of it.

    But more than anything, I'm looking forward to the day where CP2077's potential will be fully realized. If or when that day comes, It's going to truly be something for the ages.

    You can tell a lot of polishing is missing. Enemies & companions have basically no AI and run around like idiots. The fighting is ok, nothing special, and seriously marred by the lacking AI. Gun play is fine, fighting with melee weapons is disappointing because you just wildly slash around. Every boss fight so far has glitched out on me and enemies just stand around and wait for you, occasionally ducking out of cover or throwing a grenade, but they don't move around much. Companions yell random senseless comments that don't fit the situation all the time. Also honestly I am not sure if companions even make any damage in fights. I have the impression that they don't but I might be wrong, but very helpful they are not. Overall it feels like the developers just did not bother to try and program an AI or gave up halfway through. Dialogues also frequently glitch out a bit so characters end up repeating themselves or talking over one another.

    The city is very, very beautiful and atmospheric, but there is not that much to do. So it's like a beautiful stage set that you just wander through - at least you can see everything is handmade with much detail. NPCs have only a few words to say if you try to talk and move around the city like on rails, giving a very robotic impression. There's many side quests that are usually not that interesting.

    Several promised features have apparently been cut or reduced. There is no wall running, you can't customise your apartment, etc. The graphics were downgraded too, it's not bad and the lighting is really good and atmospheric but sometimes things can look a bit meh.

    The story so far is pretty good, as are most of the characters and dialogues. They are really loveable but also you can only talk to them sometimes if the plot allows it. However, being in act 2 so far I have already noticed that the plot is starting to be not as well done as in act 1 anymore, the dialogues less carefully choreographed. I really liked the staging of the plot relevant events & dialogues at the beginning but it seems to be starting to worsen. We'll see.

    The soundtrack is banging, and the overall setting is fun. Really the biggest problem for me is the lack of AI, it just makes the fighting meh. Even police is no threat because if they get called on you they just randomly spawn somewhere around you, then usually glitch out and after a few seconds of laying low the warrant is called off. I am having fun, but this game is not what you would expect from 8 years of development and would have probably needed a whole another year to properly reach a finished state. I hope fixes will come in soon to enhance the experience. Either way it will look like CDPR will take a huge reputation hit from this.

    My review of Cyberpunk 2077 can be summed up in this statement. “Cyberpunk 2077 is a gorgeous generic FPS”.

    I wasn't one of the people that was super hyped for this game, but I did pick it up on launch day for PC. A mixture of liking CDPR's other games, and generally just needing something to play lead me to do so. After investing over 50 hours in the game I feel that my opinion is more or less finalized on the game.

    First of all let's tackle the good.

    The moment to moment gameplay is fun and gets that itch for a shooter scratched. Melee combat isn't perfect, but it can still be fun slicing up enemies wildly. Driving was a pleasant surprise as the vehicles handle really well. And finally the dialogue and story is fun to follow, and you feel an attachment to some characters.

    Now to the bad, or more just disappointing.

    Night City is beautiful, and has so much potential to be a fantastic place to explore, but it doesn't live up to that potential. The city is empty with nothing to do. The vast majority of buildings are locked and have no interaction with the player. If you ever get tired of shooting bad guys the game doesn't offer you any other distractions to clear your pallet. The citizens of Night City are also lifeless and do nothing other than coward at the slightest thing out of the norm. Don't expect them to get angry and retaliate against you, or do anything else but curl into a ball on the ground until they fade from existence. Shops are sprinkled lightly across the map, but don't really feel different from one another besides the two shops at your apartment which have side quests tied to them.

    The RPG mechanics in the game feel almost like an afterthought since they have very little impact on the actual gameplay besides stat increases. Levels and stats act like a barrier stopping you from interacting with parts of the game you shouldn't be until later. Feels more like an invisible wall than it does RPG. Dialogue options don't really change the outcome of quests, and are much more there just for flavor.

    Finally I don't want to spend too much time on this, and it doesn't really change my score at all, but the glitches and bugs at launch are pretty bad. Textures not loading, clipping, AI standing still, the list goes on. I have no doubts that they will be ironed out eventually by CDPR, but my issues mostly stem with things they can't patch.

    All in all this game is a generic FPS with a coat of RPG on top set in an interesting world. Worth playing if you have nothing else and just wanna blast some bad guys. 70/100.

    There is also a massive problem with how your character picks things up, does stealth kills, or uses a computer. The game has trouble knowing what you're aiming at when you are up close to multiple options. If there is a piece of garbage beside a valuable weapon, sometimes looking at the weapon from any angle will leave you with no other option than to pick up the garbage first. This is problematic in stealth, as picking up garbage instead of initiating a stealth takedown on your target is frequently interrupted by your character picking up a bottle of fizzy water, or logging into a terminal. This is especially problematic since this game has bad auto saves. This problem is not tied to key binding, and there is no way in the game to cycle between options in these cases.
    There are many problems with this game that entirely stem from their release of a half-baked product. It would take months of work for CDPR to fix everything. Underneath all of the **** though, there is a very good game, as is evident in the polished beginning missions.

    But, even with everything working as intended, it's just not a great game. The story is meh; the main character has a definite personality and I do not like it; really does not feel like an RPG in that regard. Looks-wise, sure, there are lots of reflections, neon lights, and what not, but it does not look amazing even with all settings turned up to eleven. There is still occasional texture pop-in on stuff I'm looking straight at and it takes seconds to happen. Honestly, GTA5 on the PS3 looked better than this in most open-world scenes.

    There are a ton of side activities that are not all that interesting and they really make me want to go in guns blazing because, though I prefer the stealth/hack game play, there are too many of these mini-levels and they're not clearly marked (as in, I'll wonder into a gun fight by accident and have to just kill everyone with a shotgun). That, combined with the gunplay being just OK does not make me want to participate. Another point about combat. It’s too easy on Normal and everyone’s a bullet sponge on Hard. Definitely, the cheap MMORPG approach in that the AI is garbage and difficulty is set with health bars. Ideally, the behaviors would change based on difficulty. I’m sorry, a headshot is a headshot, having to “upgrade” a gun to make it a kill is immersion breaking.

    The brain dances are a neat idea but they're, so far, the buggiest part of the experience (points of interest not being cleared, for instance; can't say more without spoilers).

    Add to that npcs walking through doors, duplicate civilians spawning, car AI (and driving, honestly) being terrible, and it’s not a good or memorable experience. Should have focused more on the core game rather than filling it with throw-away side experience and eye candy.

    There is so much wrong besides the bugs that I would not recommend anyone buy this game unless it is on deep deep sale and there is absolutely nothing else to play.

As a RPG game a lot of mechanics can be overwhelming much like the braindancing and quickhacking functions , but they do service purpose and with time an use you do get more comfortable using them.
    The driving is a bit stiff, but with more time played you do unlock better handling vehicles plus there is the fast travel option. The weapons are very cool and much like the driving can be a pain to use, but upgrades to V attributes weapons become easier and fun to use.

    3.) Immersion is broken at times by things that just don't happen in any life. Why does the player lay sideways to go to sleep?

    4.) Customization was made out to be a big selling point. Where is it?

    5.) There are still bugs. Just watch the Linus Tech Tips review where someone randomly falls out of the sky. Add bizarre instances of super strength in the man v. car realm and shadow people appearing everywhere and you start to see the breadth of these issues.

    6.) There are things games in the 1990s and 2000s did better such as seeing a reflection.

    7.) Some of the interactions with the main characters are really cheesy. See the dime store novel reference.

    The pros:

    1.) Characters in the main story are engaging even if they have their moments.

    2.) The game is absolutely beautiful on PC. I have a 2080 TI with RTX and can play ray tracing on medium without DSSL which is cool. If not fixed, pick it up on Steam during a holiday sale in a few years so you can better understand the historical progression of graphics.

    3.) The game can be fixed if the studio actually cares which it appears to more than EA and BioWare.

    4.) Combat is fun and you can customize your implants.

    Recommendation:

    Wait to buy this for a while. If there is no fix, buy it when it becomes dirt cheap just for the history and artwork. As is, if you are in it for the immersion and game play, once the beauty wears off, it is not worth more than $25.

    I really do hope this game is fixed. If they pull a Fallout 76 and add more NPC interaction and immersive aspects, buy the game. Of course, even ME: Andromeda had potential Actually, from an immersion aspect, ME: Andromeda may have been better post-patch than where this game is now. MEA met a really sad end for what it could have been as well. Please don't let it happen to this IP. New IPs are hard to find. Hunker down, fix it quick, and create something more beautiful than looks.

    Cyberpunk 2077 has an engaging main story line with some standout characters and neat moments (virtual reality segments are especially well done), but it falls completely flat in terms of its world and the quality of its side content. Night City is so empty and superficial that it resembles more the annual versions of Far Cry or Assassin's Creed rather than any of Rockstar Games' works from the past years. In fact, GTA 3 (released in 2001) had more advanced simulation systems in many aspects than this game.

    While the main story deserves praise, it is also important to note that due to the incoherent experience that you get out of your time in Night City as a whole, Cyberpunk becomes a far cry (no pun intended) from truly exceptional story-driven games from the recent past, such as The Last of Us, God of War, but even the more action-oriented Control or Quantic Dreams' surprisingly strong and coherent Detroit: Become Human.

    Bugs and terribly shading marketing aside, Cyberpunk just does not live up to the lofty standards CDPR set for the game. There is definitely fun to be had here, but it is high time gamers stop treating this studio as the sacred cow of the gaming industry and that gaming outlets provide honest and straightforward criticism instead of vacuous hype - which has definitely been the case leading up to this lackluster game.

I've lost all trust in that aspect to them.

    I begin whith the first thing you experience: Graphics. Is it any good? Well, yes and no. Very uneven. Some parts of the game look amazing and the citys architecture is fenominal, but everything that isnt tied to the main story or the side missions have a noticable lower graphical standard and the difference is too big its distracting.

    Sound design is the same way. The sounds that are there are phenomenal and the music is captivating but then there are actions that completely lack sound like breaking certain windows and crafting makes no sound at all.

    The stories told in this game are slightly above avarage but nothing a will reflect upon. There is no satisfaction after completing a questline like when youve done something in the Witcher 3 for example.

    The biggest problem this game has though is the main character V and his/hers trusty sidekick Keanu. V is the most generic character ive seen in a videogame since Cole from the first two infamous games. Grizzly voiced tough guy with a heart of gold paired with an overrated actor that has only put out mindless action movies the past decade that pops in out of nowhere to say something snarky. Either you have a silent protaganist like in skyrim, or you give us a character that already has a story and a real personality.

    Gun play is suprisingly good, i thought that aspect of the game would be bad and the role playing would be good but its completely reversed.
    Guns have a real kick to them and shooting holes and limb off of people have never been this much fun. The cyberware is a good way to customize your character to how you want to play. Wanna be a sneaky netrunner who hacks into people and things or do you want to be a superfast ninja that cuts people up without anyone has the time to react? The choice is yours.

    So if youre looking for an futuristic action game with a decent story then i would highly recoment this, just dont expect to be sucked into an amazing story of how cyberenhancments is changing us as people, its not there.

    **This is a review with me about 12 hours into the game and halfway through the main quest. I may update this review in a few months once a lot of the issues have been ironed out and I replay it.**

    First of all, this game is fantastic on some levels. It truly has a great story that is very gripping and so far has plenty of twists and turns. It’s a great dystopian story that should be experienced by anyone who is a fan of these types of things.

    Graphically, it’s beautiful, very beautiful actually. The design of Night City and the outlying areas are fantastic and it’s easy to see why a game like this took so long to make, everything is dripping with detail and it’s vibrant. While it doesn’t look good as the trailers, the in-game graphics do look good on a half-decent PC.

    The voice acting is incredible, including Keanu Reeves who truly nailed his role. The addition of Keanu Reeves makes it a little better because he does such a great job with his role. The music is great and has that cyberpunk vibe.

    The gameplay is fun. It plays like other looter shooters/RPG's out there, like Destiny 2 and Borderlands. Some enemies can be a little Bulletspongey but I feel that if you do side quests it’s not that bad because you gain better equipment which lets them go down quicker and the progression systems are very nice.

    It so far has a great story, with incredible acting, great pacing with a few minor areas of padding in the story and a very fast-paced feel to it, with great direction. The story is engaging and is keeping me wanting to see how it ends.

    Now… normally I’d give a game like this an easy 9/10, with only a point knocked off for some less then stellar side quests and minor pacing issues but this is where the game takes its biggest hit for me. The technical issues. They’re bad. Day one, they were abysmal, made me consider just refunding it and trying it again in a year or so when the inevitable ‘complete’ edition comes out with all the DLC. But the added patches are helping.

    Still, this game needed probably 6 more months to iron everything out. It’s appalling that they’d delay it to now to release it in this state. Sure, it would’ve created controversy but the controversy would’ve been less if it came out with no major technical issues. It’s not just graphical issues either. I’ve missed important dialog options that will affect the story. I’ve also had instances where an item will pop up but it won’t go away for a few minutes, meaning I can’t acquire any other items. I found clipping issues as well, including my character dying when he shouldn’t have. Most of the issues are graphical hiccups which I can tolerate but when it happens more than it should, that does hamper the experience. Nothing is more immersion-breaking than having to restart just to get past a glitch. AI also has issues. Cops don’t even attempt to chase you. I don’t know if it’s due to a faulty script, considering the Witcher 3 had better AI and it’s made by the same company.

    So, should you buy it? Yes… but it might be best to wait a few months. Right now, it’s still very rough around the edges. The story, overall gameplay, voice acting, and everything else is great but the technical issues bring what should be an easy 9/10 down to IMO a 7/10 at best. When it's fixed, it’ll probably be fantastic but right now, they released it too early and they should be held accountable for this.

    I’m not going to overreact here and say it’s the worst game I’ve ever played, but it’s pretty disappointing. Here are the positive things I have to say about the game:
    1. The story is pretty interesting. While avoiding spoilers, I will just say that it’s a 7/10 story. 2. On the surface, the side quests seem deep (but when you realize only two or three of the storylines have any depth, you realize they are actually just main quests in the wrong section of the journal. 3. The colors and sounds of the game are refreshing and unique. 4. The gunplay and melee combat are pretty fun. Ready for the negatives? I’m only going to list the first few that come to mind:
    1. This game is not open world. It’s a linear storyline in a big box. There is literally nothing worth doing other than the main storyline if you count the few friend side quests as main story, which in my opinion you should. 2. Customization is nonexistent. The character creation at the beginning gives you barely any control other than skin color, hair type (which you’re stuck with forever), and for some reason genital/breast size (which ends up serving absolutely no purpose other than laughing when you change your character’s clothes or when the game glitches out and shows your dong/boobies through your outfit). 3. Lack of consequences. Nothing you do matters...like...literally nothing. Kill everyone, or no one...no one cares more than one line of dialogue worth. Murder 200 people in front of the cops, won’t matter. Want to punch a storyline character in the face? Sorry you can’t because they didn’t have time to program the consequences of doing that. 4. Glitches. I’m not even going to take the time to list any...that would be beating a dead horse at this point...but trust me, they’re everywhere. I haven’t completed a single mission without seeing a glitch that makes Skyrim look like a clean launch. 5. The cars...why? You get calls and texts CONSTANTLY from contacts telling you about cars...but here’s the problem...there’s no freaking reason to get any of them! The driving is horrible and the cars all drive exactly the same and look really stupid. The messages and calls you get about them are the equivalent of a pop-up ad. 6. The graphics. Oh...the graphics...keep in mind that I have an RTX 3080, so I’ve likely experienced the best this game has to offer. For the first 60-90 minutes I thought “okay this game looks kinda good...the skin textures are cool, the hair looks terrible, but okay if this game is enormous this is acceptable.” Well...the game isn’t enormous and only the main characters look good. Literally everyone in the city looks like a grand theft auto character except your storyline contacts and only half of those characters look good. The screenshots you saw of Keanu are borderline false advertisement. Think back to the days when a PS1 game would only show the cutscenes in the advertisements. Metal Gear Solid V’s graphics put this game to shame. Who knows? Maybe in 7 years this game will look great when RTX 3080s are on sale on Craigslist for 40 bucks. 7. Tedious. Most of the game is honestly tedious. Way too many parts that lock you out of certain movements and you’re stuck bored listening to the same stupid dialogue after a horribly placed checkpoint because it locks you out of saving for 20 minutes straight. I could go on with my complaints, but I’m going to wrap this up by saying that this game in no way deserves a 0/10. 5/10 is still a failing score, but there was SOME fun to be had playing this game, but at this point I don’t see myself giving the DLC a chance. Even if the game worked perfectly it’s just not a fun game.

    So far I have played 72 hours of the game. I love the story but there are so many missing things that just don't make sense on why those features are missing. Features that are missing on Cyberpunk are Character customization, vehicle customization, interaction with NPCs.

Those alone should be enough to make a game worth it, right? Normally, yes, but in this game's case, not quite. There is quite a bit weighing it down at launch.

    There are countless bugs in this game. The majority of which being either graphical or auditory. There are a couple that i've heard of that are quest/dialogue base that can be game breaking. This was an issue with The withcher 3 also (CD Project Red's last game), and most of, if not all of, the bugs were eventually patched out. I assume the same will happen with this game.

    Bugs aren't my only issue with this game, though. I am also having a little bit of trouble justifying the seeming lack of side content in this game. From what i've experienced in my (so far only) 16 hours of gameplay, there are very little side quests, and an even smaller amount of character interactions. For side quests, or "gigs" as the game calls them, most of the time you just wait until a quest giver, or "fixer", calls you and gives you one. These are usually rescue missions, or "go kill x" missions, which is fine. The other type of side quest (which name is escaping me) are a little longer but still not super content filled. I have one that is to go fight in some fist fights around night city, and another which is to go find some cars that were blacked out of their grid with their company, and are lost. That's about the extent of side quests I've experienced so far.

    Character interactions are even worse. There is VERY little talking outside of quests. You can "talk" to pedestrians, but this is just them saying one line as they continue walking. You don't get dialogue options with them. I was hoping for something a little more RDR2 like, but whatever. Apart from that, you can also talk minimally to shopkeeps. You can't really even talk to your friends outside of quests.

    Night city, while huge, has a surprisingly low amount of interesting places or objects. To paraphrase a review I read about the world, "You will see the same line of books, or the same whiteboard with the same notes on it in many buildings across the city." This breaks the immersion, which is a big no no in gaming. Sure, reusing assets is fine, but not to this extent.

    While I haven't done too much exploring myself, one of my friends who spent hours exploring has found just about nothing interesting to see. No secret places or items. No "secret" interesting characters or anything. Nothing, leaving one with no reason to explore, other than hopefully getting a gig to do.

    There is also a whole mechanic I haven't touched at all, because I don't see the need to. Crafting seems practically useless in this game, and the closest I get to doing that is dismantling stuff when I become over encumbered. This gives you materials to craft with, which I just haven't done.

    I can't quite pin down why, but I just can't get SUPER invested into this game like I expected I would. I play for a few hours, and then get bored of the samey gameplay. The fact that the gameplay is fun doesn't stop it from feeling samey after a while. And with a lack of character interaction and meaningful sidequests, this is hard to keep me interested in playing the game for long streaks of time.

    This has been a fairly negative review so far, so let me highlight some of the things I do really like about this game. First off, I'm a huge sucker for western RPGs. Bethesda games, CD Project games, etc all scratch an itch I get for gaming. I nearly hate level based games anymore. While I railed on Night city in the last paragraph, I do still love it. It's beautiful. I am also a sucker for cyberpunk worldbuilding though, so I may be a little biased. Another bias I have is the tech aspect you get within a cyberpunk world. V (the player character) is equipped with an ocular scanner which can also hack into people and objects to do different things.

    When You do talk to characters, They are all interesting and individuals (other than the pedestrians). You get the sense that they all have their own desires and goals. They feel like people! The main characters of V and are very interesting and cool.

    The story, for what I've gotten to so far, is very interesting and engaging. I am not going to go too much more into it, though.

    Those are all the thoughts I can come up with for cyberpunk 2077 so far. The game is fun, interesting, beautiful, but ridden with problems. Will some, if not all, of the problems be fixed with patches and possible DLC? yes. Does that make the game feel worth full price right now? Not quite.

    Cyberpunk 2077 could have been not only GOTY but also Game of the Decade. I can see so much potential in it, so many fresh ideas and best of all - plentiful of opportunities. However, there must have been enormous turbulance behind the curtains of CDPR that are yet to be uncovered in the years to come. And that's why it is what it is today.

    Back to the point. Overall, I liked the game
    Cyberpunk 2077 could have been not only GOTY but also Game of the Decade. I can see so much potential in it, so many fresh ideas and best of all - plentiful of opportunities. However, there must have been enormous turbulance behind the curtains of CDPR that are yet to be uncovered in the years to come. And that's why it is what it is today.

    Back to the point. Overall, I liked the game and I played it on PC. I wasn't bothered that much by the bugs, flawed textures and overly simplified AI. These are fixable and had CDPR taken their time with that instead of releasing the game in this state, the game would have been received better. I wouldn't have minded to wait as much as needed.

    Anyway, here is what I didn't appreciate about the game:

    1. Cut-down content and features, some of which promised in the first place.

    2. Little variety when it comes to clothes, weapons and cars.

    3. Very little weapon and clothing customization.

    4. Extremely poor crafting system, minimal reward when upgrading and visual improvement when you up your equipment. This is a BIG ONE for me. It costs a lot to improve yet it's completely unnecessary. I managed to beat the game with sub-par items. The game gives no incentive to go for crafting and that's CRITICAL!

    5. Cyberwear is another huge disappointment. Costs **** yet the impact on the gameplay is so-so.

    6. Skills and attributes mechanic has an interesting foundation but poorly executed from a game design standpoint. Most of the options are redundant and have minor reflection on the gameplay. This is another CRITICAL ERROR because the player doesn't have to be considered when building up their character. I beat the game at level 30 with over 15 skill and 8 attribute points left hanging because I was paving my way through enemies effortlessly.

    7. Main storyline is cool but the fact that it so incredibly easy to trick and beat such an advanced corporation is off-putting. Arasaka stands for the prime high-tech corpo, which is supposed to have military equipment and defenses that are supposed to require the player to invest all of his points, skills and resources in order to manage to keep it through until the end. Well, that's not the case. Again, I was having a sub-par equipment, messy skill/attribute build and I'm no hardcore FPS gamer yet this felt very unchallenging.

    7.1 Adam Smasher, the final boss of the game was just as easy as an ordinary cyberphycho just with more defense and health. Big letdown on this one.

    8. Side quests were engaging but they were not even remotely close to the charm of what The Witcher 3 had to offer in terms of storywriting and game design. They feel like just another job to do for the eddies.

    9. Undeveloped FX and/or non-existent outcomes when you damage vehicles. For example, you can't break enemies's tires. The vehicles get damaged in a random and non-logical fashion, which makes the player pay less attention to his driving or care about his car/bike. Moreover, the damage gets repaired for free (and again randomly), which makes no sense.

    I didn't plan to write this long but I do care about Cyberpunk 2077 and I have nothing more but willigness to encourage and support CDPR to work and expand on this universe.

    However, with such big ambitions come big responsibilities, therefore very high expectations.

    In that regard, take your time, learn from your own experience, player suggestions and mistakes. I hope if there will be a new Cyberpunk, it will really be a game-changing next generation game. It's got the foundation, now it's just time to build upon it and refine what's already been made.

    Real score: 6.5

    CD Projekt Red offers us an eye-catching game, with a rich and detailed recreation of Night City, surpassing the expectations established in its first in-game trailer two years ago and raising a new graphic standard.
    The design of all the missions is varied and shows the special dedication of its developers in making them all different and even sometimes emotional and/or exciting, whether they are the several available from the main plot or one of its many subplots.

    But for its development it seems that too many resources have been dedicated to the console versions that do not propose anything technically acceptable (and that should have been canceled since they saw that they were not viable), causing a taste of unfinished soak all other sections of the game.
    The city lacks interactivity, even the most basic ones: hundreds of stores with which not to interact (even though the game proposes a really overwhelming variety of items), streets full of people with whom not to share any interaction and even with behaviors as basic as erratic, bugs at all levels, sometimes serious (collision failures that cause instantaneous deaths, map exits, low poly graphics, objects melted on the ground or flying and a long etc.). ), many buildings with a lot of verticality ... but the vast majority unused and pure decoration ...

    Cyberpunk 2079 was an ambitious project and really CD Projekt RED had the potential and know-how to bring it to a successful conclusion. Unfortunately, we see that at the executive level big strategic mistakes have led to the drift of what could have been the game of the decade.
    The potential is there and I have no doubt that this will end up being a tremendous game but it condemns its developers to spend more time on it than should have been necessary, and it condemns players to endure disappointment in the hope of one day seeing what this role-playing game really should have been from the beginning.

    After being torn between ignoring this game completely and giving it a shot, I opted for the latter last night. After spending a decent chunk of time with it, though it hurts to say it, I think this game is complete trash.

It’s probably in large part due to the hype surrounding it and the looming shadow of Witcher 3, but it honestly feels like it’s the worst game I’ve ever played. I don’t like anything about it. The tone is weird. The dialogue is stiff and boring. The gunplay is terrible and melee so much worse. Stealth is boring and clunky. Items are uninteresting and you don’t even get to see your character evolve gear wise because it’s 1st person. Nothing feels good, not much looks good. The world is flat and boring. The side quests feel like fetch quests.

    I’m blown away by the media reviews of Cyberpunk 77. If I were more of a cynic I’d say that these outlets that have given rave reviews are peeing paid to do so. I don’t see any other explanation, though. It’s a straight up mediocre game at best. After all of the great games that we’ve been treated to over the last few years, I don’t understand how anyone can think this is worth playing.

    All so a lot of the rpg element was removed and feels more like action adventure with looter shooter thrown in there for good measure.
    Do not get me wrong the overall game was fun and i enjoyed it but lacked a lot of what was promised.

    On one end, you have a pretty good open world/RPG hybrid, on the other is a broken, buggy, and uneven mess. I don’t think this game is awful at all, as it shines with potential greatness. However in its current state it’s a buggy and underdeveloped mess that should have been delayed at least 2 more times.

    It doesn’t matter if you have Keanu Reeves, or a great story, great romances and arcs with closure to each, when your economy and AI are all over the place.

    It doesn’t matter if you have good hacking abilities when you can’t even equip them all or find ways to utilize them because your enemies are re-used, t-posing sandbags.

    It doesn’t matter if the gunplay is good when the guns are unbalanced and unfinished.

    This game isn’t finished, and that’s putting it lightly. Seriously, people forget that CD pulled this **** with Witcher 3 and now rush to defend that game. Again, I don’t think this game is terrible, as a majority of its systems still work and I’ve had a good to great time with it. However, this isn’t ****ing finished at all. From both a technical and systematic standpoint this game is an absolute disaster, but as an open world narrative adventure it’s absolutely beautiful.

    Due its problems and potential, Cyberpunk 2077 lands at a solid 50/100. Until further notice, this game may be enjoyable but is ****ing unplayable. Don’t even think about buying this on a console either, you’re going to burn your house down.

    This is my personal opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn’t want to be hard on this game, but I feel like giving it a five is pretty generous score after my first play of the main story and fair about of side quests. My play-through was done on a ps5. The Good: 1. The world of night city is amazing and is easily the best part of the game. I appreciate the detail, intense and abundant color and verticality of the world. I know there were concerns about map size, but this game feels big. I feel like there’s so much I haven’t explored and CDPR nailed the “feel” of the city. 2. Missions are generally well thought out, and they often go beyond your usual fetch quests, which is a great enhancement from most open world games. It seems like CDPR is finally trying to get on the Rockstar level of meaningful story and mission content. 3. The game feels immersive, and I love the story. It’s paced well, shows emotions, and creates connections to characters. 4. Weapon variety is nice and shooting most times feels really good. This is hard in a first person shooter, so really enjoyed it. The Bad: 1. This game and the main quest line is flat out too short. Way, Way, too short. The game takes a great story that is paced wonderfully and starts to rush the ending majorly. It sort of hollows out what is a great story up to that point. It’s Rage2 style short and underwhelming at the end, which says something. 2. The side quests are just too much, as you get constant video “calls” that you can’t ignore, characters will text you that you never connected with (like you’re old friends) and the content is just literally trash-dumped onto you the entire game. 3. The progression systems and menus are designed and conceptualized but just flat out not-executed in game. The game spends no time balancing you between the main story and side missions, which leaves you often with no or limited money for upgrades at the Ripperdoc, and the game literally doesn’t explain the menu or crafting to you. So you can make it to the end game without a ton of significant upgrades because the main quest line is so short and you’re underpowered for pretty much the whole thing. 4. The Bugs- this game wasn’t ready to come out. It will crash in the middle of missions, doors will stop opening, characters won’t animate. It’s maybe the buggiest release I’ve seen since Anthem. 5. The game doesn’t give us much new stuff. No mew mission structure (although the missions are fun) typical open world stuff. 6. Boss fights are terrible. Summary: Great game visually, that is ambitious with the world its created. That has come at a cost though, as its one of the buggiest games I’ve ever seen at launch, and the main story is way too short for a game of this type, with no “new” first person rpg elements present. The sequel of this game stands to be much better. Expand

    The game is mile wide but inch deep. Feels like lots of content has been cut and the game is plagued with immersion-breaking bugs. The world is beautifully crafted but the NPCs are hollow and the AI is broken. Overall state of the game is unfinished and could use another year of polish.

    Then there's the graphics, I have to say I'm not in any way impressed by the graphics (I run the game on high settings).

    Performance isn't too bad, it's reasonably smooth running, but with slow downs and stuttering.

    It would've been better if they had just delayed the release by 6 months and then had a high quality release, but I guess they'd already sold so many pre-orders that it wasn't an option.

This is hands down the best looking game I have ever played. Better than RDR2, Forza Horizon 5, Metro Exodus. The story is great (even if you're choice of path in the beginning doesn't change much) it is very immersive and has different outcomes determined by your choices. Think of a more modern GTAV set in a nearish semi-dystopian future. Yeah sounds cool huh? Everyone knows about the launch and I will give you my first hand experience. First I have not run into any game breaking bugs but there are small/annoying glitches bugs frequent enough to pull me from full immersion and knocks the score down from 8 or 9 to 7. Now every vast open world game I have ever played has bugs and glitches i.e. Skyrim, Assassins Creed, even GTA. The main bugs I have come across are graphical like flashing textures, items not being able to be picked up, and audio glitches such as voice lines not being spoken or continuing when skipped. Not huge things but immersion breaking and annoying.

    While certainly having an interesting premise, world, and world-building, there is not much to the game, and it was severely over-hyped.

    The AI is pitiful, and mostly non-existent, and despite the claims of CDPR that they have perfected their quests, I have not seen so in 24 hours of gameplay. Some things can be improved, but the horrible AI and mediocre quests will not.

It went from "haha thats a funny bug" to "its a ****show, I cannot enjoy this anymore" - as I was pulled out of the world so so many times because of it.

    Gameplay itself ist simply ok, nothing special. Guns are ok - melee is on the level of RPGs I played 20 years ago. Focussed on Katana and Mantis Blades on the first playthrough, literally just mashing that left mouse button and running around the enemies. That is on very hard btw. Balancing is an absolute joke.

    I like the skill system, many cool things here, lot of possibilities but also nothing ground breaking at all.

    It is definitely not the "next big thing" - its not even the Game of the Year and for me, not even the RPG of the year. Yakuza LAD, FF VII Remake, P5 Royal, even (patched) Wasteland 3 just feel better.

    Exploring the world is a lot of fun, I do enjoy playing the game, but its a solid 7/10 for me.

Everything in the game feels like it tries its hardest to keep you doing the story campaign because everything else is just not interactable or not working. You will notice the not-done-right parts when you get into ANY conversation. There is just one line that keeps the talk progressing, other (blue) options are optional and they put you back to choose the yellow option. You. Do. Not. Have. Control. Over. Anything. The only thing I admire is that you get additional options from time to time depending on your origin (nomad, corpo or streetkid) but that comes rarely. The NPCs you are talking to will wait for your response and will repeat some phrase and not do anything else until you answer them(the cop woman said that she doesn't have all day and still she waited me to click the response for two hours in real time). The story is fine, I will give them that, but everything else is just a watered down version of what we were promised.

    Otherwise CDPR have met my high expectations in story telling , music , writing, character development and open world design. They can still deliver just like what they did with the witcher 3. And Cyberpunk 2077 is no less.
    -opinion on other reviews: ok I love CDPR for the witcher games BUT objectively speaking, anyone who gives it a solid 10 is blinded by his love for cdpr. And anyone who gives it a score below 4 either set ridiculous expectations and got disappointed or just hates cdpr.
    - game development: y'all need to realize that the game has been in development for only 4 years not 8. the game's teaser being in 2012 doesn't necessarily mean it took 8 years of development.
    from 2012 to the end of 2016 they had the whole team -which was a small team- working on the witcher 3 and its huge DLCs.
    - unfortunate misdoings that lead to only 90 score and a 6.4 user review :
    *upgrading the graphics (Performance-related): you can see there's a huge graphical difference between the 2018 version they showed at e3 2018- which was decent- and the final version. They improved the graphics and added raytracing, which resulted in a bad performance on all platforms.
    *the release date (bugs-related) : in conclusion, they completely screwed up with the release date announcements that they got death threats over the delays. They should have just went with the silent "coming when it's ready" moto and released the game in 2021 polished and with lesser bugs.

    My sincere condolences for dear CDPR , it could and should have been mildly the best game ever made, it's still a masterpiece but not the best game. Waiting for patches and some of your brilliant DLCs.

    thing that can be fixed

    fps and performance issues
    lack of actual side quest with interesting story like Witcher 3 (there are some like Judy Panam and Rogue)
    lack of interaction with the city (these can be fixed with future dlc's and patches )

    now the second part that probably not gonna get fixed

    there is basically no driving AI cops spawn out of nowhere
    if you park your car in the middle of the road npc are not gonna try to overcome the situation they are just gonna sit there and wait
    npc despawn so quickly u feel like you are playing vice city
    your choice does not matter there is 3 options beginning of the game you choose your class and it only effects the first 15-30 mins of the game and some different dialogue option but it does not matter cuz u cannot change the story except very last choice

    Overall I like the Cyberpunk 2077 i finished nearly 100% done all the side missions crime events and what nots but if you you can wait i am certain this game will be a lot better game in a couple of months and cant wait for the story dlc's this game needs the figure out performance issues and I am certain that we are gonna get a better game with dlc's like Witcher 3
    My score is 7 now if they not improve the game and release the story dlc's and they are bad I am gonna lower it to 5 butt if they do and the dlc's are good 8.5-9

The sotry was great at times but after a while it felt boring at times and like sth is missing. ---->6/10

    2. Graphics: I played on a high end pc and had few bugs and glitches. But i had them. But i love the raphics the neon and cyberpunk style. ----> 9/10

    3. Music: For me a big part that made this game enjoyable at time was the music. Driving around to never fade away or the music scenes where you played as johnny were just great. ---> 10/10

    4. Open World/ Ai: Well, here it goes downhill. I focused mainly on the story but even i couldnt ignore the bad Open world and ai. You cant literally do anything and the Ai of police and civillians are just rushed coding and well trash. The Ai of the npcs are out of this world bad. I actually never saw sth that bad. I wouldnt care that much, bc as i said i mostly focused on the story. But the problem is here that cdpr promised sth completly different! maybe i change my opinion with more updates but that was bad. I gice 1 points for enjoyable tv and radio sequiences. ----> 1/10

    5. Gameplay/rpg: I have to stay that i mostly enjoyed the gameplay. But many of it was cut which is sad and the crafting system is absolute crap and useless. Which was a bummer since i went techie. Also most skillpoints were pretty useless and there also were some which were standing for cut gameplay options which just shows again how rushed this game was. But anyway it had some cool features and nothing is perfect. I rly hope they overhaul the gameplay and the rpg elements in this game tho.. (and add cut gameplay options). At the moment tho 6/10

    All in all i had an enjoyable experience at times, but was also dissapointed in more than one way. But this game has potential.

    I literally had to stop playing due to the fact that I died multiple times because of tons of bugs. You know, maybe there is a nice story under that rubble of empty open world and millions of bugs but at this point I can't be bothered to dig up this mess.

So I will wait for CDPR to ACTUALLY fix the game, I advise you all do the same. If per say they fix the npcs, also give the world a bit life and fix the bugs, this game would be and 8 or 9 so far with how the story is going, It truly is a shame. Expand

    Game is UNBELIEVABLY beautiful, lively (or at least I thought initially), and fun. The bugs are to be expected of a game so massive, but I do have to admit there are quite a few of them at the moment. I do however have faith that CDPR will not rest until most of them are fixed. Lets hope I'm not wrong, because they like to stay very quiet regarding updates.

    As for the story, I hate to say it but it felt kind of cringey/rushed in the beginning of the game. Although as you continue to put more hours into it and discover more characters the story really starts to grow on you. You start truly drowning in the atmosphere of Cyberpunk... In hindsight (after finishing the game), it would have been nice if the romances were more fleshed out and options weren't so limited. I also wish the game showed more depth from other side characters, and that the emphasis on "choice" in the beginning of the game carried on more noticeably throughout the rest of the game.

    The world itself is so damn detailed, as if each and every inch was lovingly crafted. From the litter on the ground, to the messy rooms, to the graffiti, the insane textures, the sound design, etc. It feels like the world is alive! Though that's not to say it's perfect, there's much that could still be improved such as having more interactivity within the world (e.g. purchasing property/customizing your apartment, modifying your vehicles, changing hairstyles at a salon, restaurants to eat at, casinos where you can actually gamble, more "adult" content, etc.). The gunplay/swordplay is surprisingly fun, but sometimes the fist fights feel a bit buggy and the game starts to get a lot easier late-game despite having a high difficulty setting.

    I honestly believe that most of the butthurt 1 star reviews are from old-gen console plebs. What did they expect buying such a massive game on old tech lol? However, I can't deny the existence of multiple bugs that may frustrate you or break your immersion. I found if you are truly stuck, most of the time saving your game and then loading again will fix most issues.

    All in all, this is the type of game that makes you believe in the power and potential of technology. One day we might all be playing in a completely virtual world, indistinguishable from real life. What an experience that will be, hopefully we'll be alive to experience it. And hopefully CDPR will continue to improve upon this game until it is truly the masterpiece that they hyped it up to be. There is so much unrealized potential...

    Playing on PC on a GTX 1080ti with an i7 7700k. So far no problems. Constant 90-120 FPS even in action scenes. The story is just AMAZING. Regarding bugs, not many that can affect your gameplay progression. The world feels a bit empty and the streets are too small for driving. For now it's just a 7, after they fix stuff, I will give it a 9 or 10.

    Game is good, bugs are not.
    Most of the issues obviously come from poor decision making of the company that made this title, but Im horribly biased because of what this game delivers to me. It really is Deus Ex mixed with GTA, and that was what I was expecting.......with a lot of bugs too, since The Witcher 3 also shipped with a lot of issues.
    Things will eventually be fixed though, and

    Things will eventually be fixed though, and though I am running this on the PS4 slim, I am loving every bit of it (until it crashes every 4 hours, which I could care less).
    Personally, this game gets a 9 out of 10 for me, though right now it should be a 7. Fans of Deus Ex 1 should give this a shot, but only after things have been smoothed out.

    I've completed 100% of the game, all endings and achievements, and I have over 200 hours of gameplay.
    I can only say one thing in the midst of all this chaos and a lost golden opportunity to make one of the best games in history: score 7 .

    Okay I might change my feedback but only if cdpr fixes all these issues. Continuous bugs and glitches plus performance issues is really annoying me. Now please fanboys don't start with the "working fine on my 3090, ps5 blah blah blah stuffs. The game is okay could be a lot better but admit the fact that it's a buggy mess & not at all optimised. Moreover they lied with the all specs. 1060Okay I might change my feedback but only if cdpr fixes all these issues. Continuous bugs and glitches plus performance issues is really annoying me. Now please fanboys don't start with the "working fine on my 3090, ps5 blah blah blah stuffs. The game is okay could be a lot better but admit the fact that it's a buggy mess & not at all optimised. Moreover they lied with the all specs. 1060 for recommended spec whereas it doesn't even run fine. Moreover even on a high end PC it's creating a lot of crashes and fps drops & some people are actually addressing their issues unlike the fanboys who I am pretty sure are also facing these issues or I might be wrong but whatever the case is even if you are playing this game on your high end PC or ps5 or Xbox series x please stop defending cdpr. Imagine if this was made by EA,Ubisoft how many of you stupid fanboys would be defending this game? And talk about the base PS4 & Xbox one version it is horrible. Again don't start with the "what did you expect from an old gen console", I have seen this comment basically everywhere now. Not everybody can afford a high end PC & next gen console especially in these tough times. Okay let me elaborate, this game was announced back when PS4 & Xbox one never even released. Moreover even they assured people that they were focusing on PS4 and Xbox one & not the next gen consoles. Also the game was supposed to release in April, lol,ps5 & Xbox series x weren't even announced that time. Even Games like red dead redemption 2, assassin's Creed Valhalla, watch dogs legion runs fine on base consoles. Last of us 2, ghost of tsushima runs great on base ps4. What's your excuse fanboys? World of rdr2 isn't dense comparing to cyberpunk? That rdr2 is all about grasses and trees & Cyberpunk is about buildings? Come one you can do better than that. Rdr2 is still the most detailed game I have seen comparing to cyberpunk. More you defend more these gaming companies will be looting and scamming people. They will just get the chance of getting greedy. And how the hell some are rating this game 10/10 or 9/10? Clearly these people are blind & in denial most probably but if it was a different game it would have been 5/10 4/10. You can't just rate a game 9/10 or 10/10 which is full of bugs & technical issues. I'm not a fanboy or a hater just treating every game companies equally. I hope they fix this game asap but it will take a lot of time and by that time people will be playing something else. Expand

    A great game with a bad implementation.

    The story was good but too short the side quests are awesome. The characters are well written and feel real.
    I disliked the gameplay, too few upgrades, and weapons and it isn't as fun as I liked.
    And the character animations right now are a bit buggy but I am sure they will fix them.

    But definitely, a game worth playing.

    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.
