    The main quest line is rich and flavorful but the open world experience left me feeling disappointed. This game didn't live up to the hype.

It’s not exactly good either. It’s very pretty. The plot is passable, but beyond that it’s little more than a re-skin of Watchdogs with a few more mechanics thrown in for good measure. Overall though beyond the story and the looks, it’s not great. Combat is clunky. Driving is just... bad. The hacking mechanics leave a lot to be desired, with it being little more than ‘press X to hack’ with an optional mini game thrown in for good measure. Heck, they even ripped off the memory editing mechanics from Remember Me, a game more deserving of respect than the subject of this review. As for the cyberpunk aspect, I feel like they took a hint from Ernest Clines writing here - throwing in references to other cyberpunk works and borrowing heavily/stealing from them does not make your game cyberpunk. It barely scratches the surface of the theme and is, if anything “cyberpunk adjacent” at best. They had the potential to really dig into a lot of the ideas and tropes that underpin this genre. Instead they payed them lip service at best. It may get better over time. But honestly. That’s not something we should be counting on, nor should we forgive the mess of a release because it can be fixed post launch. CDPR engaged in some very **** behaviour, not just surrounding constant delays, enforced crunch and more, but also disallowing reviews until launch day, hyping the game in such a way as to make millions in preorders and the rest. This is not behaviour to be encouraged, we as gamers should be ripping them apart over this. What’s worse is the other games that have been delayed to avoid being ‘railroaded by the juggernaut of CP2077’ we may have actually had something decent to play this holiday season that’s worthy of our money. As it stands we have to hope that CDPR continue to patch and improve the game, quickly. I’m not sure just itching it will improve all of the issues but they’ll at least be able to get the bugs ironed out. I hope.… Expand

    There's a good game in there somewhere however it's horrible to play in it's current state.

    Let's start with the pros. It's a nice looking game. The graphics are good (even on PS5, not so much base consoles) and the world feels alive; albeit not as alive as the early trailers/teasers made out. The characters are interesting, voice acting is strong and the dialogue options are solid.    There's a good game in there somewhere however it's horrible to play in it's current state.

The characters are interesting, voice acting is strong and the dialogue options are solid. Character creation is solid, plenty of options without being too complicated.

    Ok now onto the negatives. The UI/menus/map are all a mess. The map in particular is awful. Gunplay feels terrible, I know from the witcher that gameplay/combat wasn't the dev's strong point from playing the Witcher 3 but the gunplay feels like it's at least 2 gens old. Then there's the bugs, NPCs walking through doors/cars. Item's floating in mid air. Cut scenes cutting out half way through. Game crashes. Mini-map directions sending you into dead ends. The list is endless.

    Like I said at the start, there's a good game in their somewhere but the developers really should have delayed it further at the minimum. It's frankly embarrassing they've chosen to release it in it's current state. I'd recommend waiting until they've patched some of the bugs, or even wait for a GOTY edition in a couple of years time where hopefully all the major hiccups have been sorted, plus it'll be much cheaper!    … Expand

Gunplay is not great, the weapon design itself is great but they all feel the same and enemies are just bullet sponges.
    I really wanted to like it and after the first few hours I did but spend time in the city and you begin to see the cracks. The bugs are well documented and I have seen a few playing on pc with a high end spec so I don’t need to mention it. A lot of time is just spent in menus also, information overload which a lot of could have been left out.

    Overall I’m very disappointed with it and don’t see myself playing much more.    … Expand

    Made an account just to leave a review for this. First off, I'm a huge sci-fi nerd. I'll watch all the garbage TV-Shows and at least find them entertaining, so when I heard about Cyberpunk I was stoked. When the first gameplay was released, my expectations plummeted and stayed low and somehow I was still disappointed. Let's start from the start of the game:

I'll watch all the garbage TV-Shows and at least find them entertaining, so when I heard about Cyberpunk I was stoked. When the first gameplay was released, my expectations plummeted and stayed low and somehow I was still disappointed. Let's start from the start of the game:
    -Character creation is terrible and your character's appearance cannot be altered after you've completed it. There's around 40 something haircuts and yet I wasn't able to find one that I liked. What's even worse is that there's no sliders for ANY options in the character creation, so you have to manually click through all of the options. There's no body-weight or height options, there's only 2 voice options (male and female), the eye and hair colour options are VERY limited (there's no white hair???)... It seems like including genitalia options was just a publicity stunt because the character creation is extremly limited and doesn't live up to a triple-A 2020 title.
    - I was excited when I saw that you can choose a background for your character and then quickly disappointed when I learned that it doesn't matter at all. The only things that are influenced by your background are the short intro sequence and some dialogue options which are ultimately meaningless.
    -Graphics and performance are atrocious. You can see people complaining about this on every forum. And IMO the game doesn't look great even on maxed. I haven't been able to find why, but my game has these weird dots appearing on textures the further away and more complex they are it seems. I've tried in-game settings, driver updates, settings on my Radeon software and nothing helped. Not even patching the game helped so at this point I'm convinced this is intentional. What's even worse is that if you're on an AMD cpu like me, you need to use a third-party program called HEX Editor to even make the game run the same as it would on an Intel cpu. TL;DR game runs awfully even though the graphics aren't revolutionary.
    -Gameplay is bland and un-original. Hacking is devolved into pressing F to hack something, melee combat has only 1 combo which is unsatisfying, poorly animated and ruins the immersion. It has a strong attack which can't be chained into your fast-attack spam (which is all what melee combat is). Stealth is boring and outdated, and why do i have to click twice on an enemy that I want to do a takedown on? There's no real cover system in game, the way you take cover is simply by crouching or standing behind whatever you find. Gun-play is decently fun, but nothing new or exciting, and it's hard to notice it because the AI is so dumb and the difficulty settings just make enemies into a bigger bullet-sponge.
    -Driving feels awful and unresponsive and vehicles can't be customized??? Seriously?
    -The world looks amazing and even though it's heavily populated it feels dead. Again AI is just awful, like others have said.
    -Some people disliked the characters in the story, but I personally like them. Except for V. V is an over-used soldier trope that doesn't fit into this world. Even if you're playing as a female V has the classic "macho" personality which I'm SO tired of already. I want a real character, someone I can feel for, not a fake badass soldier from 80s movies. This isn't the **** terminator. The rest of the story I actually enjoyed, although I would've liked to know more of the world.

    If the game wasn't in development for 8 years I'd give it a pass. You'd think that this would be something revolutionary, but instead it's just a bad far-cry clone in a futuristic GTA city.
    CD Project RED seem to be a good company, so I hope they at least learn from this and release something new and much much better in the future OR release patch in new content, improvements and content tthat was cut.    … Expand

But thats where the good parts end for me as the game sticks at 40-50 fps as my 2080 stays at 50% usage no matter what settings i have the agme on, low or high. i'v tried everything to fix it, from reinstalling drivers and updating windows, nothing works, game is just not optimized.

    The only place CDPR met my expectations is in the construction of the environment which the game takes place.

Moving from one area to another wonderfully illustrates the unique architecture and feel in the various districts of Night City, I've marvelled at the skyscrapers in the centre of the city as well as the Badlands and Night Cities unique take on 'Suburbia' in the south of the map on 6th street gang territory. There really is vertically, with hidden communities / tunnels and even a park under the freeways. However while the city is built to look fantastic and is a pleasure to drive around, the immersion falls away as soon as you try talking to an NPC especially the 100's running market stalls none of which can sell anything to your player.

    NPC's AI is one of the most problematic parts of the game. While bugs are fixable, NPC behaviour is beyond bugged. It feels like there never was a system in place to realise CDPR's promise that; 'There will be over 1,000 Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs with hand-built daily routines.' NPC behaviour is simply atrocious on every level. NONE engage in any real conversation with your character, they have 1 canned lined which they repeat regardless of how you're interacting with them. They all behave in the exact same way when shot, carjacked or bumped into; they crouch on the ground with their hands over their heads. GTA III's NPC AI is far better, same with the Outer Worlds (a game which was consistently advertised as a lower budget title and overdelivered, Cyberpunk frequently feels like AA game of a similar level)

    Scripted interactions with characters are handled far better, but those are mostly limited to main story missions and even then, many interactions with the people giving you missions are done over the phone. Your phone is constantly ringing you, can't refuse calls, its not an effective way of building up fixers (side mission givers) into effective characters and is overwhelming. You get a message every time a car comes up for sale, they could have cut down on this with an online car dealer like GTA.

    The actual script and story of the game IMO is far better and original than most AAA game offerings, though character dialogue is too reliant on swearing with a kind of 'dude-bro' 90's jock vibe, the game doesn't find it's voice nearly as well as The Witcher 3 or RDR2 did. And while the story is good and solid, I ranked it about level with that of the Outer Worlds and below that of Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Most story missions are well designed and fun, the beginning of the game (I played as a Nomad) was particularly impressive, that being the time you're in a limited area without many choices to make, the more freedom the game gives you the more immersion falls to the side. One of the most disappointing moments in the game was about an hour in, you move to night city with your buddy. A 2 minute cutscene plays that was heavily used in advertising material, as it played and I recognised scene after scene I realised all these moments were only in the cutscene and I would never be able to 'play' these experiences.

    Furthermore, no animations exist for eating, drinking or getting body mods. The examples of this in marketing are from cutscenes. The amount of footage I recognised from marketing in the early game is incredibly demoralising, the ads were literally the cutscenes, not gameplay.

    I haven't even mentioned the bugs, I experienced one game-breaking bug in my 25 hours of play so far and an uncountable number of other bugs on PC.

    In conclusion Cyberpunk 2077 gives us a fantastic looking world with terrible interactivity within that world. A good story with some interesting characters, interesting missions, some with several possible paths but which largely offer an allusion of choice with very few of your decisions leading down a different path (with a few notable exceptions). It forces so many compromises on the player that I can't recommend it. If you're looking for something to play you will be better served by; The Outer Worlds, RDR2 (my favourite game ever, a truly complete western experience) Control, Bioshock Remastered and even indie cyberpunk titles like Cloudpunk and Ghostrunner offer more polished gameplay within their limited worlds. Cyberpunk needs more than bug fixing, it needs to implement NPC AI, eating drinking animations, market stand interactivity, collision mechanics, a more in depth character creator (play as anyone! As long as they're 6 ft and have a 6 pack...), mid game character editing (you better love that hair cuz ya can't change it) and much much more. This is a bad game with the potential to be a good game after a year of patches but I don't see it ever being an amazing game. There’re loads of bugs, but beyond that there's a lack of depth to the world that I don't think can be patched in. The best thing Cyberpunk did was it taught me a very hard lesson; DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE.    … Expand

    Crafting is completely worthless.

The driving is GTAIV levels of bad, like seriously who the **** made this game honestly?! The cover system is worse than RDR2 and that was **** awful.

    The only good thing about this game is the game world itself. It looks pleasing, but just because it looks pleasing does not mean that it is good. Crowds are filled with dead NPCs who are there to serve no purpose. The wanted system is worse than GTAVs, trains were cut but a majority of their systems were still left in for whatever reason.

    This game is a joke, and apparently CD Projekt Red was not in on the joke.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Regarding performance: Do not get cyberpunk until the glitch's are at least mostly fix. I actually can not play 2 minutes with encountering a glitch. I.E Jackie running through walls screaming at everything as if we are in combat. Shooting people and no damage occurring.
    I also have the recommend system requirements yet i have to put all settings on low and I get 38 fps indoors and outdoors anything between 35-15

    Gameplay: the gun-play is really sluggish like from a 2012 video game. I for some reason am not allowed to stealth around because as soon 'stealth' kill someone every enemy around me heard it. Fist fighting is truly awful. I tried fighting the Kabuki twins in a tournament, and it was so hard. Because they flew across the roof tops and punched the air 4 feet In front of me and I get hurt.

    Now the story SPOILERS: The prologue and act 1 did such a bad job setting the characters up. For instance Jackie I did not care at all that died because the prologue was a tutorial and slide show of events you and Jackie have. Then act 1 you did 2-3 things with him its forgettable.

    The environment: Feels dead. Its a beautiful game even on low settings. But their is just about nothing to do in it. Also the AI are brain dead, and are nothing like CD project red said they would be.

    To sum it up its insanely hard to enjoy and CDPR did not deliver.    … Expand

I feel with the pre-sales numbers and (more than likely pressure from their shareholders) forced them to release it this year for legal reason. the pure irony that the game is based on the inevitable reality of what corporate greed and capitalism can do, yet has fallen victim to their own narrative.… Expand

    While interesting and good fun, I'm really going through this game extremely slowly and am very tempted to shelf it for at least 6 months to a year.
    The glitches need to be patched but more than that this game still needs a lot more work.

    This is far from what was promised.

    Hopefully CDProjekt Red takes notice but doubtful.

    Сюжет игры: По    Вот и вышла долгожданная игра на исключительно своём движке! Самый старт игры за кочевника оказался очень приятным, но буквально через 15 минут игрового времени столкнулся с неприятными багами (прошу отметить что за следующие 5 минут игры я столкнулся по меньшей мере с 3 багами в игре) которые начали нарушать восприятие окружающего мира и заставили меня сказать пум-пум-пум.
    Сюжет игры: По поводу сюжета могу сказать что у каждого должно быть собственное субъективное мнение, лично мне показалось что сюжет не плох, но лично для меня концовка получилась смешная и с цитатой из фильма "да что ты черт побери такое несешь"). 7.5/10
    Второстепенные миссии: И тут вам не Ведьмак) хоть они и попытались воплотить заказы на монстров в виде киберпсихов, но реализовали это ужасно. Второстепенных миссий с хорошей историей можно сосчитать на пальцах одной руки. 3/10
    Мир и окружение: Реализовали мир действительно очень хорошо что заставляет тебя погрузиться в эту атмосферу (но опять же перейдем к 5 строке моего комментария) и если у тебя видеокарта 3080 то ты сможешь насладится красивой графикой в этом мире. Объекты мира хорошо сочетаются с общей композицией, но опять же из-за исключительно своего движка случаются очень странные вещи с этими.. объектами. Так же присутствуют интересные элементы игры такие как: еда, пища, диски с виртами, и другой мусор. Но данный аспект настолько плох что использовать его думаю будет очень малое кол-во игроков т.к. это все бесполезно. 6/10
    RPG: Здесь всё печально. Вариативность прохождения миссий есть: можно бегать с катаной наперевес в лоб, можно действовать исключительно хедшот машиной с револьвером, можно стрелять из тяжелых винтовок превращая врагов в решето. Прокачка персонажа очень скупа и в основном это пассивные элементы которые не очень то и нужны или очки способностей которые нужны чтобы сумничать в диалоге (просто так, без смысла и т.п.), так же есть импланты (это моё разочарование) с помощью имплантов ты можешь модернизировать своё тело как угодно, а на деле 4 штучки которые могут повлиять на геймплей, и то ими пользоваться вы скорее всего будете крайне редко). 2/10
    Как итог: Плохое составляющее рпг, мертвый но красивый мир, средний сюжет, одна из самых плохих оптимизаций в железе AAA проектов.

    Добавлю от себя крайне важный момент - Я не считаю данный продукт конечным и предъявлять за него полную стоимость это неправильно т.к. цифровой пример: почему вы когда покупаете музыку вы покупаете её конечный вариант, вам же не будет приятно если вместо шикарного вокалиста вам подсунут бомжа с ужасным голосом или уберут струнные, со словами мы потом исправим. Они выпускают по сути линейную игру с открытым мертвым миром и плохой оптимизацией.

    I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have many bug issues and yet, I still found this game very disappointing.

    The good stuff - the atmosphere and the open world that they aesthetically created is fantastic. The story is good, gunplay is decent and there are some cool cyberwear upgrades to get. The bad stuff - 1. The open world is absolutely dead. Compare this to Red Dead 2 and    I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have many bug issues and yet, I still found this game very disappointing.

    The good stuff - the atmosphere and the open world that they aesthetically created is fantastic. The story is good, gunplay is decent and there are some cool cyberwear upgrades to get.

    The bad stuff -

    1. The open world is absolutely dead. Compare this to Red Dead 2 and it's lacking way behind. Other than the story and side missions, there is nothing to do! Why create an open world when it's this boring? May as well have made it more linear and probably could have released the game a couple of years earlier.

    2. The citizen AI is terrible. The AI's driving is worse than GTA Vice City. All the AI does is use the pathfinding routes and if you block traffic they stop still. Don't even beep their horns and tell you to get the hell out of the way. If you have a gunfight with a gang or you want to go on a rampage the citizen AI just sit down with their hands on their heads and scream a little - few if any of them run away and why the hell don't any of them have guns to fire back? Again, Red Dead 2 is way, way, better in this area.

    3. Serious question, does CDPR know what a RPG is? This game should be classed as an open world, looter shooter story. After you have initially created your character, there are virtually zero customisable options. That goes for your character's personality and attire. There's no consequences to your character's actions, loot whoever you like, kill whoever you like (you'll get a 30-second police chase) - no bounty, no consequences. Makes the world boring and unimmersive. There are no consequences for not going to sleep, eating, you can't get a haircut - Red Dead has more RPG elements and Rockstar didn't even market it as an RPG game.

    4. Once you've completed the story, end credits roll and you can't go back into Night City to roam about to see what the world is like after the story has finished. Good job there's nothing to do in the world anyway.

    5. When I pre-ordered this back in March 2020 I thought this game would take over my life and I would spend 100's of hours playing this just to experience the open world of Night City, a dystopic future set in 2077.

    I've played 50 hours and completed all the missions. I'm now done with the game and i probably won't pick it up again for at least another year. I would say I hope they sort out the issues that I have mentioned above but I seriously doubt they will, they've had 8 years to create this lol.

    I've had some fun with it but this is not anyway near a £50 game. I keep on comparing to Red Dead 2 to demonstrate how average this game is compared to that. Honestly, I think the open-world mechanics and citizen AI is better in Mafia 1 than on this game. Total let down. it's a shame that CDPR don't just pass this game to Rockstar right now so the game can live up to it's

    There are many issues with the game. Some are technical, some are basic mechanics of the game itself. I'll start with the game itself.

    As anyone that has followed the game knows there are many aspects to a character in game. You can build a fighter or net runner type character. focus on direct assault or sneaking. My problem is that each of these is quite shallow. For example, the breaching and net running has no variation. It's the same mini game over and over. It doesn't get more complicated or even mix it up.

    The assault falls short because the animations for melee fighting are not fit for current generation fights. When you have no combos, no real blocking in real time like was done in other games such as red dead redemption, then the fight just becomes a late 90's keyboard smasher. - It's out of place.

    The first person view is ok, but the problem with that is it does nothing unique with that viewpoint to make it worth playing in that mode.

    the controls and sensitivity are of the poorest quality, when nearly every game has standardized controller inputs there is no need to build one from scratch and do a bad job at it.

    The interface is clunky and redundant, taking way more clicks to get something done than is needed when you have to grind things out like selling many items or crafting.

    as for the bugs, many are game breaking.

    the visual quality overall even on PC is poor. I feel like I'm running skyrim that's how bad the game looks on PC.

    Now for the real issue- the management of this game from CDPR.
    - This game was marketed as a cutting edge experience and was sold as such. this is deceptive and is what I'm calling a Beta-n-Switch. it's at least 2 years from being ready.

    An example is breath of the wild. Amazing, and played great. Sure there were patches, but they were so minor I never even noticed any changes because the game was so polished and ready for release. This game is the exact opposite.

    The forums on cyberpunk are also banning anyone that does not have glowing happy joy joy feelings about the state of the game. If you reply to someone with your thoughts and the mods consider it to be of an opposite opinion, they will ban you and forbid you from participating in the forums. It's insane, authoritarian and has tarnished the good will and respect I've had for CDPR over the years.

    Do yourself a favor, Don't buy this game until 2021 or 2022. Perhaps by then it will be ready for a decent player experience.    … Expand

However, there are still an insane amount of bugs, from glitchy NPC models and cars to broken areas, doors not opening that will soft lock your game etc.

    It is also important to note that in all versions of the game, mechanics and features stated by the developers to be in the game are missing, so are some basic RPG mechanics.

    For example, you cannot customise your character outside of equipping stat based gear, there is no transmog feature for this, so if you want to max your characters stat potential, expect to not look the way you want. There is also no vehicle customisation and very limited, if not non existent open world activities to take part in.

    There are some things you can do outside of the main missions, such as NCPD activities that always require you to eliminate the enemies in an area, no objective diversity here.

    Ultimately, the sprawling, groundbreaking RPG world you were promised prior to release is little more than a linear story with a superficial open area to move around in.

    Some of the biggest disappointments in this game come from the AI, the NPCs dont get their own lives or routines as stated by the devs before release. They only exist when you are looking, like, actually. They dont do anything other than walk around or participate in one looping animation, such as harassing a vending machine for example.

    In some instance turning around will simply result in all NPCs in your line of sight being replaced with new ones or disappearing entirely. Speaking to an NPC will result in a one sentence response that will occur infinitely with no variation.

    There is also little to no police AI. If you compare this game to other open world RPGs, such as those from R* you really start to see where this game falls flat. There is no lasting crime system. Committing any crime, in any area, even in those usually inaccessible by NPCs or those stated by the game itself as outside police jurisdiction will result in the police spawning behind the player and immediately attacking them with a 1-4 * level of intensity.

    You can remove this by driving away from the police for a short distance as they have not implemented the ability for the police to drive.

    On the topic of vehicles for NPCs, the same despawning issue is present here as well as lack of any reaction to your actions from the NPCs on the roads, they will not drive around any obstructions and in some areas of the world can be seen crashing into the same corners or obstacles due to poor pathing.

    The life paths that were announced during development that were said to have an affect on gameplay are still present in the form of around 20 minute first missions that ultimately only lead to a short montage showing the interesting parts of night city before all 3 pathways converge on the same storyline, a far cry from the varying roleplaying aspects we were told and expecting from this feature.

    You do get an extra dialogue option based on your life path choice every so often, but like most of the base dialogue options, they dont have any bearing on the outcome of the conversation the majority of the time.

    In conclusion, choice, activities, customisation and immersion are very limited in its current state and definitely not what most people were expecting from a CDPR game many years in development. Hopefully the team is able to reflect on the issues the community are having regarding bugs and overall gameplay and can implement fixes for the majority of them.

    It does need to be noted that whilst bugs and optimisation may see fixes implemented as soon as January and February according to the devs themselves, larger issues such as the lack of variety with the NPC's, Police and AI issues may take much longer to resolve, if they're not entirely unfixable without an total rework.

    TL;DR If you had expectations for this game based on what you saw, heard or read prior to release, save your money for now, especially if you're on console. If you are happy with a well made, cinematic main story set in 2076 (according to the phones of the street NPCS, another oversight by the design team) this may be worth picking up on sale, but in its current state, this is certainly not the immersive, cyberpunk RPG experience we were promised.    … Expand

    Cyberpunk is a total mixed bag for me. While it's certainly a modern marvel of art & design, it's a massive step backward in the "open world RPG" genre as a whole.

    AI is abysmal / non-existent (especially the police). Outside of being a backdrop for the story, the city has nothing to offer. Hacking is unfathomably boring and simple for a world that revolves around the Net and    Cyberpunk is a total mixed bag for me.

    AI is abysmal / non-existent (especially the police). Outside of being a backdrop for the story, the city has nothing to offer. Hacking is unfathomably boring and simple for a world that revolves around the Net and netrunners. The gameplay loop gets stale after a mere few hours. Outside of the main story, there's only a small hand full of decent quest lines that are interesting -- 95% of the side missions are MMO-style fetch quests that involve going to a location, killing 3 enemies and looting a crate. The vast majority of the NPC interactions you experience in this game take place answering phone calls from strangers offering you jobs & 25 text messages every few minutes asking you to buy a car that is conveniently placed in a parking lot for you to approach.

    It's honestly baffling how this level of quality and blatantly missing features / content + the amount of bugs has received anything higher than a 4 or a 5 from critics and the audience. This doesn't even feel like a CDPR game, let alone a deep, rich RPG that was going to set a new standard in the open world RPG genre like they had promised back in 2012 when they announced this game. Such a monumental waste of an incredible IP and setting. Hopefully CDPR can do what's needed to turn this mess around, although I highly doubt their investors/execs will see the value in that.

    Much like the corporations of Night City, the deeper you look at the game and its systems, the more you realize it's a hollow shell of overhyped and underdelivered promises.    … Expand

    I've played 61 hours of this game now and while some elements are done exceptionally well. There are lots of other key elements missing to the genre of open world RPG that even 15 year old games had.

There are lots of other key elements missing to the genre of open world RPG that even 15 year old games had.
    I cannot, in good conscience, give this game a good score.

    Let's start with world interactivity. There's nothing to do in the world outside of killing gangsters and doing side missions, what's the point of putting bars and restaurants in the game if you can't sit down and get a drink, or eat meal? There aren't any minigames to do, you can't even use the shooting range at 2nd Amendement!!! Brain Dances are a really cool concept and they missed an opportunity to turn them into something more - but didn't.
    There are no NPCs to interact with, you can't even interact with your romance options once their questline is finished. What's the point of building a relationship with them and then just cutting it off? You should be able to have them as a companion, and to accompany you on missions, take them on dates to bars and restaurants. You could do this in GTA San Andreas, and that's 16 years old!

    There are no ways to customise character in-game or reset your attributes - it's an RPG! Why isn't this in the game? There should be barbershop, tattoo parlours, and the option to change your appearance and a ripperdocs. In a world where people drastically change their appearance, the fact that you can't is mind-blowing!
    Same goes for your apartment, why they didn't include options to customize them or buy new ones, I'll never know. So much for "making it" in Night City.

    NPC AI is terrible across the board. In combat NPCs stand there and shoot at you. They don't flank, they don't take cover. They stand there and shoot at you.
    Driving AI is absolutely terrible, I parked my car on the sidewalk with a fraction of it overhanging on the road and the AI just queued up behind it and didn't even drive past. Pedestrian AI is even worse. Shoot a gun? They all synchronise and run the same direction or just squat down in the road. Causing cars to pile up behind them.

    The police system is, well... probably the worst I've ever seen in a game. Even GTA 3 had a better system. Commit a crime? Police spawn 2 feet away from you, wherever you are, be in in the street, on top of a 10 story building or in the middle of the badlands. No police chases either, run 10 seconds down the road and you lose them. Not once have I seen police actually drive their cars either. It's just terrible.

    The writing is strong at some points, really weak at others. Life paths don't really do anything except give you some different dialogue options. The way quests are managed too with fixers ringing you up constantly is often overwhelming. Not all is bad about the game though. Night City itself is beautiful both visually and sound-wise. Guns feel awesome too, and there's a great variety. You get some pretty cool "one man army" feelings. Cars look beautiful too, inside and out.

    Overall, except for the world, sound and visuals. It's a pretty poor game. Anthem 2.0. CDPR promised so much but delivered so little. A true disappointment.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Impressive narrative but very bad execution. Played in minimum specs PC with all setting low, it never reach 60 fps and sometimes below 30. Some bugs are breaking the side quest progression (There is marker but no enemy or no object making it impossible to progress quest). You can only spend your money on cars and cyberware since barber shop, tattoo parlor, car customization and home decoration are taken out from games. One thing that irritate me, is how enemy and NPC can dual wielding any pistol but you can't. My advice on this, wait until 2021 or whenever they finally fix most of the problem and adding new features + DLC. It still possible to become a great game as long they execute correctly in the future but right now, it's in the worst shape. Also stay away from last gen console. It's the worst version.… Expand

    Everything that's hyped up by CDPR are exaggerated and doesn't really contribute to the game's quality. Lifepath is one of them, not only it's disappointingly short, it doesn't really affect the story as much as they hyped it up. All you get for choosing different lifepath is just an extra dialog that doesn't affect the gameplay and nothing more. It's as deep as a puddle. That's my main grip, there's a lot more problem with this game that others have pointed out, and I agree with all of them.

    The AI is is more A than I, with cops spawning and multiplying literally 3 meters behind you, NPCs only have one reaction to violence which is crouch in fear, cars are driving on rails with no traffic AI. Character customization is too basic for an RPG game, no sliders, can't edit character post creation, can't transfer stats on fashion item. Imagine being in a world that's all about making personal statement and having your character walk the world like a clown just to have good stats. Inventory system and crafting system need an overhaul, currently there's no need to craft something that takes multiple hard to get parts since you get always get something better from world drops. You can carry dozens of rifles and shotguns on your pocket, this makes the stash on V's apartment and car storage irrelevant. List goes on and on, there's a lot of missing basic feature that is overlooked and bad design enough to distract you from immersing into the world.

    This game isn't an RPG first game that was promised by the CDPR 2 years ago, it's something else completely different. It's riding on marketing hype, with no results to show for it.    … Expand

    spoilers ahead from here.
    The prologue doesn't mean anything at all. I only played most of the way through as Corpo and spent maybe 15 minutes as one. I also spent about 2 hours with Jackie before he wound up flatlined. Not a bad bit of story there but I never really cared because it was such a short time that I spent with a character meant to take the training wheels off. The rest of the story really isn't that much better. You meet Johnny Silverhand, the prick "rockerboy" who is actually just a little bit of a pansy. You'd think if he was living in your consciousness and seeing what you see he would have a lot more to say, but you have some pretty short, lame conversations with the guy and that's about it.

    The driving. I feel like a sports bike handles like an articulated city bus. The first vehicle you get is about as sloppy as what it must be to guide a crew capsule back to earth atmosphere while being slapped in the face repeatedly by a whole class of 6th graders.

They even got keanu into this just to convince you into buying this game. Let's state some of the biggest problems.

    The game introduces characters that V already knows, but doesn't give any background, they are just shoved down our throat.

    No driving AI, npcs follow pre determined paths, if you stop in the middle of the street all the cars will just stop and stay like this untill you move.that's there are no car chases with the police. Cmon CD projekt, even GTA3 had this, and it came out almost 20 years ago.

    Soulless NPCs, they walk around in a pre determined path until they despawn. You can’t even interact with them, and if you press E they will just say something like **** off" or "i don't have time for this" like Gta 5. What the **** CD projekt? Even oblivion had better conversations with npcs. I can't be mad with gta, they really didn't promote the interactions with npcs.

    The best clothes will make you look like a clown. I literally just found a pair of PINK SHORTS THAT HAVE 80 OF ARMOR. Pathetic AI,cops spawning behind you whenever you dare to touch an npc.

    Character progression - basically you dont need any upgrades or because most of the time you can't tell the difference,you don't get new abilities beside hacking which is medicore at best.

    Only few of the choices actually have impact on the story, most of the times they are just here to make the game longer.

    Although the graphics are good, the lightning is pretty bad and also it runs TERRIBLY on old gen.

    Lifeless city, you can't interact with anything or anyone.

    The driving feels sooo bad, and you will find yourself driving around this lifeless city for a big chunk of the game.

    No ragdoll for the player, for example, when you get ran over there's just a pre made animation.

    So basically, this game is just a futuristic borderlands.
    They could've done so much better if they didn't spend so much time in marketing and making jokes on Twitter. And they want to put multiplayer and microtransactions into this mess? Aha, that's funny. But let's be real, even if they fixed the bugs, this game would still be mediocre.

The promises CDPR made are simply misleading, so many of those aren’t kept, therefor I can´t give Cyberpunk 2077 more than 4/10, even if I still really enjoyed it.

The promises CDPR made are simply misleading, so many of those aren’t kept, therefor I can´t give Cyberpunk 2077 more than 4/10, even if I still really enjoyed it.

    CDPR promised us a futuristic world, where the player defines the way he wants to experience Night City. Your choices will slowly form your path to the biggest legend Night City´s ever seen or maybe something else?

    First things first,
    THE STORY:
    The story is good, but the character synchronization and the facial animations are just superb. After several hours in game you start to get attached to certain NPC´s, doesn’t matter if it´s Johnny or some other NPC you´ll met on your journey. If you´ll talk to a friend you can see and hear in their voice when they’re scared, you can see their emotions, this is Cyberpunk in its prime.
    The missions in general are well thought through and diversified.

    PATHING/DECISION MAKING:
    Most of the time you´ll pick a decision, just to find out in the next moment that it seemed like it wouldn’t even matter what you’ve chosen. Often dialog options are just different versions of yes or no and you can’t really impact anything but just smaller events.
    Of course there are these big moments where you have to decide how you would tackle a big job, but in the end the result is always the same, just the journey there vary (result may vary also a bit e.g. If you decide to use option 1, character X dies at the end of the mission, if you use option 2 character Z dies, etc.).
    It’s always that particularly sour taste after taking certain paths because it just feels too irrelevant to actually change anything.

    For mission pathing it’s a bit different, but also no revelation.
    If you´re into melee combat, try breaching the front door and have some fun.
    Love hacking? Try to hack your way through enemy lines by deactivating their optics or distract them (distracting works 95% of the time, so it’s basically your bread and butter on every spec tho)
    Prefer sneaky? Skill into cool and move in and out again like a shadow without anyone noticing.

    Everything plays a bit different but in the end it’s nothing too special. Ofc. you can combine the above mentioned to mix it up a bit but won’t change anything dramatically.

    CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:
    The character creator is basic, you can pick different presets for certain parts (eyes, nose, browns, hair, and so on), pick your first attribute points and start with a life path. There is no way to change your character afterwards (no barber etc). At last pick your first attribute points, your origin and here you go.

    During your playtime you´ll lvl up and get new points to invest. The skill system is good and there are loads of interesting skills to choose from. Your attributes will also let you make certain decisions e.g. you can only open a door if you have body 8, having int 6 gives an additional dialog… (95% irrelevant…)
    Crafting feels pretty underwhelming, tried it out once, never used again.

    GEAR/CYBERWARE:
    Armor is more or less just there, stats aren’t that impactful therefor my focus was looking good while beating my enemies to pulps.
    Cyberware got me much more interested. After the trailers with those mantis blades I really wanted those. A Ripperdoc visit later and after investing all my hard earned money, I went to town to **** **** up. Well, they’re pretty lame. Not like they´ll do no dmg, but having about 3 normal and 1 finisher attack animation simply doesn’t make the cut (especially when the finisher move takes about 3sec and you can still get shot in the meantime, complete disapointment)
    Btw: The gorilla implants aren’t needed to open doors, simply put enough points into body and you’re good to go…

    THE WORLD:
    Night City and its surroundings aren’t too huge compared to a Witcher3, but so rich in details that you can lose yourself just walking through the streets.
    Your playground is big enough and versatile that I never used fast travel once during my 45h´s.

    GRAPHICS:
    I played on a GTX1080Ti in 1440p, everything on High/Ultra, just a few things lowered to Medium and got a pretty solid performance (40-50fps but V-Sync).

    BUGS:
    I had everything, most of the time just minor things, about 5 times game crashes or forced to reload.

    CONCLUSION:
    I really enjoyed the game but I can’t silence the voice in the back of my head asking “Is this it, this is the great Cyberpunk 2077 that we´ve been waiting for the past 8 years? This is the game CDPR sells us after setting the expectations so damn high?” I can’t feel but disappointed in this game and especially in CDPR marketing, this isn’t the Cyberpunk 2077 we were promised.    … Expand

    The one that really matters can be count on your hands.

    To many bugs and performance issue that can be fixed, this is not an issue.

    The main problem with the game are the core mechanics, starting from non existent AI, even on hardest difficulty, once you build your char in a proper way (there is only 1 kind of mods that are worth looking for, crit % and crit damage, everything else is just there as filler), the entire gameplay break apart, the AI and enemys can't keep up with you anymore, and you just shred everything without any problem whatsoever.
    Other than that, way to much cut content, you either progress the campaign, or do boring quest, you also have stupid ass world encounters, just there for farming xp and loot, they would be cool, if they were a little challenging, again, non existent AI completely broke and purpose of min maxing your stat.

    The game got 9 or 10 because the reviewer simply rushed the campaign, so they could be the first to release theyr **** article, yet they forget to valuate the overall content of the game, leaving the review itself, only tied to a good campaign.

    If you want to spend 60€ fore a 20H campaign filled with bugs and choices that doesn't matter, good for it, if you are looking for a deep RPG this is not the game for you.

    This game is the biggest let down of 2020, CDPR dropped the ball so low they need a 360° move and get theyr **** toghether, fix the game, add content and stop counting the million of dollar they made, while crunching developers who just needed another year of delay.

    This company went from being praised by braindead famboys, to actually show itself for it's true nature.    … Expand

    A "honeymoon phase" existed for this much anticipated game.
    The graphics are a nice, I would say, "foundation"..
    We need to hold these companies to a REAL standard, and give the game a score it deserves, as if it was a brand new game from a brand new company.. No "pity points"..
    This game is NOT a 6 out of 10, I don't even believe it's a 5 out of 10..
    A "real" 5 out of 10 is a mixed game.. half good, half bad.. this game is mostly bad, except a very few sections in the first 4 hours polished up for reviewers who were flown out..
    Some of the most interesting points of the game are skipped over with a generic cutscene, the same cutscene for everyone, which ends your "lifepath"..
    The mechanics of the game feel 1/4 finished.. Some are polished, most are poorly implemented or missing entirely.. Without explanation..

    The world is empty and lifeless, except very specific scripted areas.
    Cut content CRIPPLED this game..

    Beside all of that, the pointless and unknown AVX requirement caused the game to crash in the same exact spots in the prologue for thousands of us, while the game was running perfectly, otherwise.
    Thankfully, all of us at the CDProjektRed forum were sharing details and ideas, and this one awesome person (fofo2323) had the idea and knowledge to edit the "AVX Call" code, to pretty much ignore the AVX call as soon as the "ask" started..
    Then, days later, the Nexusmods site had it up for the rest of the world.. Now the AVX problem is no longer a problem.. Thanks to replacing a "55" with "C3" in a string of code..
    GOG and CDProjektRed support were speaking with me as if I were the only person contacting them, very personal, and they shared the solution around.
    Those guys deserve credit for doing everything possible to either help fix the issue or get the refund going.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's just not talk about bugs. Let's talk about the story and the disappointing length of it.

    I didn't want to compare this game to other games at first, but I will. A bit.
    This game was in development for 8-9 years, right? The main story is basically finished in 20 hours ?????? (I will get to side quests soon, don't worry). Red Dead Redemption 2 was in development for 8 years and the main storyline is 48 hours long on average. AC Odyssey was in development for only 3-4 years and the main storyline is 40 hours long.

    This wouldn't be a problem IF Cyberpunk 2077 had a really good interactive world and a lot of interesting side quests or other stuff to do. But unfortunately, it doesn't feel that way to me.

    The game is basically set in a theme that you, as the main character, are running out of time. I tried to play many side quests along the way with main quests. Could be like 5 side quests with one main quest.
    When I tried to do more side quests in one go, for example, two-three hours straight doing just side quests, it just didn't feel right. Imagine you are going to die soon and you have to figure out how to stop it. The sooner the better I guess. WIll you just drive around Night City and do all kinds of side quests, like nothing's wrong? I don't think so. I had to play main quests quite often to not put myself out of the immersion.

    The point is, I really did not expect to finish the game in 50 hours when I was doing a lot of side quests along the way. I mean how can you make a 20 hours long main story in 8 years? Did they rewrite it many times or what happened? I understand that they wanted to compensate by having an immersive world and a lot of things you can do in the NC. But be honest here, after you play it for a few hours, you realize there aren't that many things you can actually do aside from quests. Or at least things that would be entertaining in some way. It is a shame that I just couldn't complete more or all side quests.

    Another thing why I am giving this game a low score. When I got to the point of "having a girlfriend" let's say, I expected there to be some kind of progress in our relationship.
    I slept with Panam, right? It happened in a last quest I had with her, I believe.
    I know that this is part of side quests, I know that this game is not meant to be about f***ing women, men, stripers, or whatever. But after our sex, Panam never called again. (Damn that sounds really great). When I called her or visited her, there was just one extra option to tell her "How are you?". We never got any more quests to do together, the conversation options stayed the same and the relationship just happened to die here for me.

    Don't get me wrong, she didn't break up with me, the game still considered us as a couple that like/love each other. Plus this relationship can be game-changing in some way, later on, in the endgame, so I would expect more interactivity. I believe you can have one last quest with her at the end of the game, which is ok, but there's nothing happening meantime. And it is a long meantime.

    I know this might be a little thing, but details matter. This kinda killed the immersion for me, again.

    The main story itself is good. From the start of the game, it was amazing. Really great plot, unexpected development of the story, characters were designed really well. The city is designed well, neighborhoods look good and gangs are interesting. My ending made me kinda sad tho, I felt like I have no one left, everyone died or left me and I am gonna die soon as well. But nevermind.

    And that's it. The only good thing about this game is the main story. 20 hours. In 8 years of development. Anything else outside the main storyline is just somehow not good enough to accomplish the promising hype it had all these years.    … Expand

    CD Projekt почти год рекламировали нам из каждого утюга свою игру, было потрачено около 300 млн. долларов, какая часть огромного бюджета была потрачена на рекламу пока неизвестно, но я думаю, что это довольно большая часть. Разумнее, возможно было бы потрать эти деньги на разработку игры, но зачем, ведь и так купят, главное рекламы побольше.
    Плохо идет на PS4 или X-Box one - ну это старые консоли, что ты хочешь!?
    Плохо идет на PS5 - ну так там же специальная версия для старых консолей, дурачок.
    Плохо идет на PС - ну значит слабый у тебя компьютер.

    ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ ФИЗИКА МОДЕЛЬКИ
    Естественно, огромное количество багов и недоработок от железа не зависит, как и общее ощущение сырости продукта. Игра реально не тестировалась, стоит на шаг отойти от запланированного маршрута или модели поведения, как весь мир рассыпается на глазах.
    У меня игра за 100 часов не вылетала, не крашилась, не зависала, но я застревал: в стенах, в машинах, в деревьях, в других НПЦ. Модельки НПЦ часто проходят сквозь друг друга или предметы, машины, люди, трупы исчезают прямо на глазах. Меня телепортировало, откидывало на километр от двери, которую я хотел открыть, у чувака из пролога застрял пистолет в голове, когда он умирающий ехал со мной в такси.
    Когда едешь с НПЦ в машине он поворачивает по дороге не поворачивая руль, он не жмет на педали, он не заводит машину, просто садится и сразу едет, такого априори не должно быть в игре 2020 года. Это уровень постановки GTA III.
    У всех НПЦ одинаковая модель поведения, буквально, как только какой то кипишь, они садятся на корты и закрывают голову руками. Причем так делает одновременно ВСЯ улица (20 человек).
    Из последнего предложения может показаться, что народу на улицах много, но это тоже не так, есть пару специальных улиц, мест, где людей много, но остальные 99% места на карте заняты ничем. Ты ездишь по пустому мегаполису, заходишь в полупустые ночные клубы. Люди занимаются ничем и идут в никуда, два человека могут столкнуться на улице, развернуться и пойти в обратные стороны, а впрочем какая разница, ведь вполне возможно, как только ты переведешь свой взгляд куда то в другое место - они исчезнут, как и смысл их существования.

Forget it. It does not worth 60 EUR. CDPR was one of the trusted game developers for me - I will never pre-order or buy their games at full price.

    Now, after 150 hours of play (and I am only at the beginning of Act 2) I can say that if you strip the game of the fancy looks etc, it is just a basic unoptimized, totally unbalanced, pretty looter-shooter at this stage. One might ask why would I complain if I sank 150 hours into this, and why would it not worth the full price? Answer is simple: I sank 500 hours plus into e.g. tetris, still it wasn't 60 USD. I mean I can happily waste my time on youtube/facebook etc for hours, so playtime is not a good argument for the price of the game, sorry.

    The bottom line is that CDPR should have waited for an other year at least to release this, but they were greedy, so shame on them big time !! They also shouldn't have created such high expectations with over promising on features. It is good that they were ambitious, but should have done reality checks waaaay more often, and sync with / slap their PR/marketing folks.

    The signs are everywhere: some elements of the game are brilliant, and finished, like car interiors, most details in the buildings of Night City.

    Most are half-baked, like the combat mechanics (all combat, but brawling is the worst), weapon usage and stats, merchants and stores (very simple), hacking, even the character creation at the start.. It is not an RPG, no consequences, no intricate changes to the story based on character decisions, nothing.

    Some are downright a disgrace: the economy and trading in the game, including ripperdocs, the crafting system, police AI and AI in general for that matter. Many praise the graphics, but if you look in the details, there are issues there too: just check the shadow of your player character: shoulders are detached (wtf?), cars in the distance are a joke (just jpgs moving on a canvas), and were put there in the last moment to save on computer resources apparently. Don't get me started on the bugs which are totally immersion breaking - and there are a lot, I mean a lot.. trees are glitching, characters / cars respawn from mid-air and break/blow up (wtf?), V dies while walking, characters/weapons are sunk into the ground frequently, many times you cannot even pick them up, and the list just goes on and on..

    No, this game was far from ready to be released. None of the versions, including the PC, which CDPR is "proud of": they shouldn't be in this state. They should be ashamed that they gave in, and released it like this. I don't think they comprehend and anticipate how much they lost on the long term. And for what? They should have invested more on investor relations and manage the expectations there, rather than pouring millions to promoting the game.

    This game could have been a brilliant masterpiece, but would have needed years more of development. If they promised less features, they would have been able to deliver a relatively polished version in 2021. But of course they should have fired everyone who did the PR and marketing for them first: those guys are completely detached from reality in terms of what is possible in 2020 in game design and creation.

    Finally, while we are on the "waste of space" topic... I don't get how the game critics gave 100% and 10/10 for this - the game review industry is clearly broken, and shouldn't be trusted.

    I learned my lesson. Did you?    … Expand

    Well... I wrote this review to give a fair warning before buying this game. There has been a lot of marketing and hype around this game. This raised the bar on expectations about this game. Is it a bad game? No. Does it deliver what has been promised? Big No. Is the game finished? No. Far from it. It is glitchy and the open world feels empty.

    + Great setting + Good graphics +    Well... I wrote this review to give a fair warning before buying this game. There has been a lot of marketing and hype around this game.

    + Great setting
    + Good graphics
    + Storytelling is great (main storyline)
    - Jesus walks on water in Night City! NPC / cars are VERY glitchy.
    - Side jobs are a few variants of "fetch and/or kill". Gets boring really fast
    - Combat AI is non-existent.
    - Combat is glitchy (thrown knifes dissapear), enemies get stuck (easy kills)
    - City feels empty. Very little interaction with NPC's, most buildings are inaccessible.
    - Cops AI is non-existent. Materialise right behind you, won't chase you (also: see remark about combat AI)
    - Call your car to your location: Mr. Scott beams your car down right next to you.
    - Driving is like first drinking a full bottle of whisky, then get behind the steering wheel. Not good.

    In my opinion CDPR should have focused on the main storyline and build / expand on the open world for future games in this setting. This would have given them the possibilities to prioritise on fixing the engine, AI, basic systems. Now we got a mixed bag of everything.    … Expand

    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.
