    Wow, just wow.

    We have waited 8 years, 4 delays and a massive hype build-up for this?

    Honestly just from technical perspective, this game is still in alpha and I can't go 10 meters without encountering 10 bugs. This game got delayed 4 TIMES and what we got is a showcase of how many bugs one can fit into a single game.

    This may change over time, but it's still unacceptable for a game delayed that many times and promises of a relativly smooth launch.

    But the main problem is the core gameplay and not the bugs!

    Let me clarify:

    -The story is linear with no decisions or consequences to your actions whatsoever (they even removed the RPG tag from the description in the library), meaning you CANNOT be the V you wanted to be like they promised.

    -The ending of the prologue was spoiled by the trailer, giving it no meaning and making it unimportant and forgetable, while the mid is well made and the ending is the best and most interesting part of the story.

    -The character creation lacks any depth and is what you would expect from a game from 8 years ago, options are very similar, no real cybernetics (like NPCs have), options for hair is decent I guess but it's still very shallow and again not what they promised us.

    -There is no things as barber shops, nail studios, etc. in the game meaning you can't change your appearance in the game in any way. This is a feature so many games have nowadays and they still are inept to implement it.

    -They promised us clothes wouldn't have any stats but I have never seen the 'Shoot n' Loot' principle this big in any other game. Basically you do your generic missions you've seen a thousand times in a thousand games, get x item with y better stat and comb through the maps side mission like a combine harvester.

    -Regarding the heavy reliance on stats leads to -again, what they promised us- no actual style or 'fashion of the future', this is because you always look like u fell into the basement of a painter and you just loot the stuff with the best stats and wear that and not what you would like to wear (and btw there is not a single good looking headgear in this game, change my mind).

    -Remember when they said they didn't want to overwhelm us with a map full of markers with side missions? Yeah guess what, they lied. Again. When I first opened the map i got bombarded with yellow little piss stains on my map of 'innovative' missions to play (more to that later)

    -The side missions -more so the gigs- are boring and repetitive. Go to point x, kill y amount of z people and go to the next one, do this for 2 days straight and you maybe have half of them done. We've seen this kinda stuff a hundred times in a hundres games, and most of them still did it better than Cyberpunk 2077.

    -The AI is a joke and basically non-existant. Traffic is buggy, non-responsive and they often block themselves, because guess what? The traffic AI sucks! No overtaking, no avoiding obstacles, no nothing, just cars that drive their given route and nothing more.

    -The enemy AI just charges you with no self preservation at all (Leeroy Jenkins would be proud). The AI is just plain dumb and has no reaction to enviroment, movement of you, your last seen position, anything really.

    -The police is the worst in any game I have ever seen in my entire life. If you do something they spawn 2 meters behind you, don't chase you and loose you after like 10 seconds, thats it. No bounty like NPCs have on them, no chase and no getting caught. It's a rushed, unfinished and irrelevant feature, that games did better 10 years ago.

    -Which lifepath you choose affects the first 10 minutes of the game and a few dialog options that's it. It's forgettable, unimportant and does not bring any replayability. Your character basically always turns out to be the same. They praised this feature and I had high expectations for it but was immensly dissapointed.

    -The minimap is zoomed in too close, meaning it is really easy to miss a turn at every intersection. When driving from point A to point B your eyes are pinned to the minimap and not on the world they designed.

    -The length of the game is a joke. The story can be done in 1-2 days without trying and most of the playtime comes from mindless farming of InNoVaTiVe sidequests.

    The only good things in this game are the story, graphics and the sound (while it is important to mention the copyright sound setting does not work properly).

    I am just impressed, that a game with so many promises and hype build-up turns out to be this repetitive, mediocre piece of garbage. It got delayed FOUR TIMES and it plays like a alpha version of an game from 5 years ago.

    My point is: The game is a huge step back in gaming. If you just look at gameplay and not the story it is truly an awful game. I was hoping they would deliver us a great game with many details and depth to it but what we got is a bad GTA

    You mentioned and marketed that our decisions would influence so much more in the game. How you could interact with the people of Night City in interesting ways thanks to an new crowd and city system. The false sense of choice in this game is what I'd expect out of something Telltale would put out with the life paths being a solid 15 minutes each. Not even mentioning the other "decisions." Heck, I even re-loaded to check almost all of the dialogue options, and the NPCs sometimes repeat the same reply to what I had my V say the first time.

    I'm playing the PC version of the game and it is still buggy. I have to save every ten minutes because I'm scared of the crashing, being stuck, or constant enemy health bar/ item on my screen. Can't even imagine what it's like for anyone on current or last-gen consoles. Why'd you have to lie when people actually trusted you to make a finished game? Now you're just like the another developer and/or publisher. Making the people that spent money test your game, waiting for updates. Didn't even pre-order this ****.

    CDPR lies go well beyond playability on old consoles and bugs, the game itself is a ghost of what promised: no meaningful interactions with the world, no meaningful decisions, AI non-existing, no character customisation, no police AI, no trauma team AI, V is flat and uninspired and won’t evolve based on our choices....where is the RPG? This game is a good FPS at best.

    Biggest overhyped fail of all time? I think so. No game has been hyped up as some kind of miracle of gaming that will be ahead of time and whatnot. But the reality is that it's one of the most generic and boring "open-world" games I have ever played.

    This game is completely overhyped.

    The main storyline is engaging with a nice pace but only for about 40 hours in-game. And then there is barely anything to do. The potential of the megacity is completely not used. Hacking in a cyberpunk-style game should be one of the main skills but here it's complete crap. Upskilling the character is useless as the skills barely change the game

I would see if anyone was so determined to go through the game with stealth and hacking only. Most of the engagements end in a bloody mess with really poor implementation of the combats.

    The company promised it will fix issues by February but I bet there will be not many payers still waiting for that.

    Content packs announcement could solve that issue but with all the resources assigned to bug fixing, I doubt we will get anything valuable in H1 2021.

    So wait for the "gold" edition with 70% discounts to enjoy the solo main story quest chain.

    I feel the company has cheated on me with promises not delivered and I bought a product that is not what it was promised. As CD Projekt Red acted like a regular peddler I will be extremely cautious with their games in the future.

    This game has become the very thing it was supposed to destroy - a generic action-shooter.

    Bugs:
    I think I don't have to say much about this, because everybody knows at this point. This game is straight up not finished to the point were I had to start fresh on an early save because the game would always crash at a boss fight. To be fair, I'm playing on Linux, but there are a lot of other bugs.

    Graphics:
    Yes, the graphics are amazing if your PC is capable of running the game. But that's it, good graphics don't make a good game.

    Story:
    Haven't played it through yet, but the beginning of the story is a mess. The different background you could choose are relatively irrelevant for the rest of the game and the montage was clearly meant to be playable and would've actually explained a lot about recurring characters. After playing the prologue I felt like I was thrown into a story I have no clue about, meeting people I don't know that are supposed to be my friends just to make them irrelevant in the next moment. I'm interested what's yet to come but after 6 hours of gameplay I still don't get my own motivations except for survival.

    Mechanics:
    This game is by no means a role-playing game. Yes, you have stats and perks that you can level, but you absolutely don't have to. You're just fine shooting your way through the levels. Other RPG-elements are straight up missing. Different classes you could choose or factions to join - nope. At least something like heavy and light armor - nothing.
    The stealth mechanics are obligatory and simply what we've seen in games before. And even that is not thought out well. The sneaky takedown can only be done when you're precisely behind an enemy and the maneuver is the same animation over and over again.
    The hacking mechanics are straight up copied from Watch Dogs and besides that a repetitive button-click or unchallenging puzzle. GTA Online has better hacking minigames to be honest.
    That leaves me with three approaches to the game: shooting, stealth and hacking, all of which are just an implementation of well-tried but obligatory game mechanics without doing anything or in some cases doing the simplest things not even right. This also doesn't make the game more of a RPG, because you could just skill all three approaches more or less evenly and combine them all in combat without a particular up- or downside to it.

    Technically:
    Not much to say either, other than that the game is poorly optimized, the last-gen console versions barely run at all with next-gen console versions not even existing. On PC the community is trying to optimize the game's performance on it's one, but that was supposed to be the developers job in the first place.

    Open world:
    The open world looks great and appears vivid on first glance but upon exploring I couldn't find that many things of interest. The most buildings are not accessible, there are next to no stores or the stores you find are just decoration. NPC just wander around aimlessly and the randomly occurring fights are always the same, therefore repetitive and quickly boring. I really don't know what to do in Night City except for the main story missions or also repetitive side quests. How are there no "dungeons" or some paces you could enter, fight through, loot and whatnot? The open worlds unfortunately reminds me of Watch Dogs and not a bit of The Elder Scrolls or Fallout.

    Press:
    I know it's common, but the game was over hyped from the press even before launch, but also after the disastrous launch the press keeps praising the game like it's some kind of a masterpiece. This game is not only buggy to it's core but even beyond fixing all bugs and optimizing the game it's mechanics are still mediocre and average at best.

    Development:
    I guess all core developers of The Witcher 3 left after the Blood & Wine DLC so they hired new people, mismanaged and had to do the good ol' crunch. Well, what possibly started as the fault of management has now to be paid by the players, that bought the unfinished game for full price. I doubt that the game can be fixed, patched and updated to live up to it's first expectations, but we'll see.

    Conclusion:
    The game started with huge promises and a big hype and actually launched to become a meme. Everything I was hoping for isn't in the final game! It's not a fleshed out RPG like Bethesda games, where you can skill your character to a very specific build combined with specific weapons, armor and gadgets, there's no exploring, looting and fighting through endless but always different dungeons. And it's not a huge open worlds as a Rockstar game, as I'd hoped for to walk, run or fly through. With this elements missing or being below average all that's left is a more or less linear story and an first-person action-shooter like we've seen a thousand time but this time in a different setting.

    Lifepath:
    So much emphasis was put on the importance of your "lifepath" choice Nomad, Corpo, or Streetkid. But it becomes painfully obvious within the first 30 minutes of gameplay that the lifepath simply does not matter as you are all working on the same main story. Besides a few additional "special" dialog options your "lifepath" has ZERO impact on the gameplay. This "feature" seems more like an afterthought than a primary selling point...

    Quests:
    The quests are good. I feel like there is enough content to keep most people occupied for at least 60 hours. The Lore is detailed, you can read many little "shards" in game to find out more about the world. There are also plenty of Eastereggs which give you a nice chuckle from time to time.

    World:
    The world is large and detailed. The layout of Night City mostly makes sense and it's an overall beautiful environment to "play" in. (more on that later...)

    Gameplay:
    Ohhhh boy... Here we go... The AI in this game is a complete and utter joke. The NPCs don't have "daily routines" unless it means pacing back and forth sitting down on a bench from time to time. The Cops show up out of NOWHERE and there is no "wanted system" besides wanted and not wanted. (Think GTA "Star System", yea it DEFINITELY doesn't have THAT) If you kill someone you'll be notified that the police have been alerted and then seconds later they spawn randomly outside your field of view. If you simply run away your "wanted status" just disappears. There are no long lasting repercussions to your actions in the world. (Other than your quest dialog options) Cops don't even drive cars, so there are also no police chases. The AIs do not care if you steal from them. (Even in The Witcher 3 this was a "feature"). You can't really customize anything beyond adding some "mods" which are not even visible on your weapon or armor and simply add some arbitrary stats to your item. (Besides a scope and a silencer...) Vehicles cannot be customized so it's a "you can have it any color you like as long as it's black" situation. Day and Night cycle has no impact on game-play, neither does weather. (There are no environmental hazards)

    Overall:
    The game has no content outside of the questing system. There are no meaningful player - NPC interactions and you never fully build a "relationship" with an NPC. The game feels as "Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle". As soon as you leave the narrow path that CDPR sends you on you realize the game is just empty.

    If you are expecting a beautiful futuristic GTA V made by the creators of Witcher 3 then STAY AWAY!!! FAR FAR AWAY!!! Because it's not that... I am having serious buyers remorse with this game... Which is sad because it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

    [3090 on 9900K Maxed everything psycho ray traced looks amazing sorry all console users not gloating honest sympathy].
    It looks like CDPR are going for Rockstars market and that is insane as the reason most people back them is that they are not like other completely money driven companies. Actually they now appear to be because old style CDPR would never release a game that is so far from what they promised in a very broken state.
    If you just want a nice game to look at on a extremely high end PC then this is a good choice. I felt like I was playing GTA 6 not because of the cars but because of the commercialized way they flung this poorly finished effort out.
    The ending's verge on the disaster that made Mass Effect rewrite its own appalling endings. If you are going to play a game like this you expect a ending reward that befits your efforts and there are none that are worth your effort. It actually may have started as a project of love but ended as a cash grab. CDPR made its money being a oasis in a sea of filth but has slowly put on its wellington boot and waded into the filth. This is no more than an average game and CDPR never made average

    It's a buggy mess. I really did want to like this game, and it shows that it could have been a really good game. The constant bugs and lack of any decent AI, like with the police ruined the experience. This doesn't even seem like an RPG. Nothing matters, I can't even change my characters looks. You lied to us CDPR.

I know that up to taste, but to me Watch_Dogs has fun missions, specially in dlc. While Cyberpunk has endless amounts of text and only half of it is maybe interesting. By the way i'm talking about Watch_Dogs PC version obviously where you can activate all the effects, etc.
    It doesn't look as good as E3 trailer, but for a 2014 game, it actually still looks very good. And this comments is not to promote Watch_Dogs, i'm just doing simple comparison between two games and taking into consideration that Watch_Dogs came out 6 years ago. So in reality Cyberpunk 2077 should be miles ahead of Watch_Dogs, but it's not. Not even close. So yeah, i think it's very clear that in terms of open-world modern city, Watch_Dogs is better open-world game than Cyberpunk 2077 and i think that just shows how bad state Cyberpunk 2077 is in.

    Bugs aside, the game is just boring. It has potential, but it is let down by a linear storyline that doesn't play out as an exciting story, but rather as if someone added completely unnecessary steps to extend the gameplay. Most main and side quests feel completely pointless - if you fast-forward through the whole 2-hour-long quest and get a one-sentence summary of what happened, you wouldn't miss a thing. Quests don't give you choices; they don't influence your character; you just go through a linear sequence of steps without much engagement or thinking - click here, go here, open this, bring it here. After 30 minutes of playing Cyberpunk, I found myself fast-forwarding (thanks for adding that feature, btw) through all dialogues - they are just meaningless, emotionless fluff added to the game to extend playtime.

    Typical RPG stuff, such as crafting, don’t add much to the game. Instead, the game comes down to pointless wandering in an empty world without any meaning or purpose. It gets very repetitive after a few hours.

    There are beautiful scenes – I liked the designs of the Tarot cards are the work of art – but the came itself doesn’t live up to the hype or its potential.

The design of the city is incredible, but there is absolutely nothing to do in it. The art of Cyberpunk 2077 is by far the best part of the title, because beyond that, it is a game that, if it had been made by another studio other than CD Proyekt, would have been absolutely destroyed by the critics.

    In my opinion, the game needed at least three more years of development, two for content and one more to polish details/fix bugs. Cyberpunk 2077, despite being 9 years in development, has less content than a 2013 (and past generation) game like GTA V, which also had a relatively similar development time.

    Furthermore, it is impossible to ignore the fact that CD Proyekt deceived its players by showing them a product that differed greatly from the final result.

    In short, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that had everything to be one of the best games ever created, but thanks to the immense expectation of it, it ended up being the biggest disappointment of the decade, and what is worse, destroying the reputation of a study that had proved to be different from the others.

    Really buggy in PC, felt like I was playing a bi-yearly Ubisoft game franchise, really shallow portrayal of a cyberpunk world to just give it a skin to GTA-esque game with "RPG" combat.

    Speaking of RPG, the most you'll get are weapons and clothes with random numbers plastered on them. Leveling up perks and skills isn't rewarding at all since abilities will give you extremely minor stat boosts in certain areas. Perks do the same except they sometimes allow you to have features that should've just been implemented from the start and they clearly added to pad out the perk trees. (Like max HP boosts, regen outside combat)

    Whenever I set myself to play the game for promises of a great story and great characters, I quickly got bored in an hour of some gameplay that tried to mush in other games in an extremely buggy mess. It tries to be like Watch Dogs 2 with its hacking but fails miserably. It wants to have a Borderlands like randomized looting system but since it only has 5 guns to go for it's merely stat increases. It tries to be like GTA but the driving and police AI's are missing and the police spawn quite literally, behind you. It tries to be like a stealth RPG akin to Deus Ex but fails so hard in its stealth mechanics and lacks any meaningful RPG mechanics other than putting some numbers in weapons because they proclaimed to be an RPG.

    Massive disappointment and lackluster release, don't hope for a NMS on this game. Patch fixes can't fix shallow mechanics and world building akin to an extremely dumbed down cyberpunk novel draft: Corporations bad, sex everywhere, big buildings, tech advanced. If you hope for a game that tells a story like any of the Deus Ex games or takes advantage of its genre to bring about awareness in a world with extreme segregation from poverty and a lack of access to technology and how scary could it possibly be to live in a world where not even your mind or body can be yours, this is not it.

    Welp, I'm writing it. Never written a review for a game but i feel like this needs it. As somebody who's been an rpg enthusiast nearing twenty years now i've seen and played basically everything from j to a to mmo to fps, handheld, console, pc. i've seen and played all the best every genre has to offer and this game...this game was like being promised an ubisoft e3 trailer except that's what the real game is going to be for a fan like me. I'm at the point where after having been through everything you could see out of rpg's nothing short of near perfection will impress me. and that's what this game claimed it was going to be and more. genre defining story, graphics, combat mechanics, immersion, character building, and all the bells and whistles a fan like me could ask for was promised from a company that has maybe not the best but definitely a good reputation. And it was lies. every bit of it was lies. in all honesty there are so many game companies i believe have released titles that are more than worthy of false advertising lawsuits and as much as it breaks my heart to see a game i was desperately waiting for to come out be on that list i have to say it. this game is mediocrity marketed as the bleeding edge in the genre and ill explain here if i even have enough characters to do so.

    Story-the potential for development of this games story had the groundwork for the best setting of anything i've ever seen and maybe 10% of it's potential was realized in this game. a post collapse world recovering from a war with ai's, the net has evolved to the point that it's become an entire seperate reality for those capable of navigating it, the most technologically developed city on the planet teeming with organized crime from every level of the system from the lowest pits of slums to the upper crust of corporations vying for political dominance of the world and you're a gun for hire out to make a name for himself. there are so many concepts begging to be explored by the story from deep personal stories to all kinds of metaphors relating to the real world. the sky was the limit for potential! and they promised it would be everything we wanted and more! and what'd we get? an average story that can be completed in 40ish hours with a few different endings that explore like i said about 10% of what this game could have been. maybe a handful of engaging sidequests throughout the entire cities worth of over a hundred sidequests to find. this game could have had multiple games worth of 200 hours+ long main stories thats how packed the setting of this game was. and they took it and somehow took 7 years to make this predictable linear unexplored pile of mediocrity. There are entire books/movies dedicated to just the concept that alt cunningham represents and she was just a just an element you used to move the main plot of the game forward. The amount of time players should have to get to know and attach to great companions like jackie tbug and dex deshawn is 1/10th the time it took them to get wasted with no modularity to the story for even some of them to live. none of johnny silverhand's ideals were cohesive with his actions in the slightest. hatred towards the corporatocracy that robs people of their freedoms and turns them into mindless consumers and uses whatever means necessary to perpetuate its own system rather than work with others towards the betterment of the whole? rock on thats good stuff. starts a band to make angry music about corps and does nothing but do drugs fornicate and commit low scale acts of terrorism that amount financially to tp'ing somebody's house to a megacorp? like what even? then he somehow gets his hands on one of the single highest security class wmd's to exist. a nuclear warhead. with no explanation as to how then thinks hes somehow going to accomplish anything towards killing the corporate system by nuking one major corp hq with nobody relevant currently inside of it. johnny's entire character is a mass of wasted potential that could've been a spectacular metaphor for what a warrior against corporate overtake of society could embody. the dynamics of the arasaka family and the dichotomy between the characters of saburo, seeking to uphold his rule as the most powerful man in the world through any means necessary for the sake of his family's prosperity and honor and yorinobu, seeking to dismantle his father's empire for the sake of the people, could've literally been it's own story branch of the game with a completely alternate main story but it was relegated little to no exposition for either of them outside of a handful of tidbits in the end of the story before the branching endings and one of the endings.

    it appears i don't even have enough characters to write anything on the gameplay of this so i guess it ends here. i could occupy this all over again with just my opinions of the gameplay and raw mechanics of it all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think if you are going to fail to innovate then you need to make your implementation of tried and tested ideas at least as good as they were when they were first introduced. You should be improving everything to create a synergistic interconnection of disparate gameplay elements which enthrals and engages, bemuses and delights your audience. You need WOW moments. You need technology that works. You need state of the art quality of life decisions.

    If you want to see how to make a brilliant, open world RPG look no further than Horizon: Zero Dawn, which I played earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed, despite there being nothing “new” in it, but it had an engaging story, rock solid game mechanics and several WOW moments that I will likely never forget.

    They say Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for 8 years, and it does feel exactly like an ordinary 8 year old game - tired and irrelevant. I was briefly star struck by Johnny Silverhand/Keanu Reeves, but very soon his dialogue and personality began to annoy and mystify as much as delight and inform.

    What exactly were the “principles” that he was supposed to be living by? They were never made clear, and seemed to consist of blowing things up and causing trouble. And why did he just give up on life? Was his presence in V’s life ever anything but a major PITA?

    For a game that created such anticipation Cyberpunk 2077 really falls way short of the mark, for all the reasons you’ve heard elsewhere. Where are the big set pieces? When Silverhand blows up a building with a nuke you don’t even see the thing go off. And there is subsequently no explanation of how he could even do that and survive. The main story line is curiously bereft of anything remotely engaging.

    The whole foundation of the game, the entire premise upon which it is built, is tired and old. The writing varies between brilliance, and extremely poor. Perhaps different writers were used for different sections, or maybe the writers just got bored.

    Of the three starting characters only the nomad V makes any sense with what comes immediately after. When starting as the street punk, Jackie even says to V that it’s weird he doesn’t already know you, given that the community you BOTH COME FROM is so tight knit, like one big family. Indeed.

    On top of all of that Night City just isn’t a pleasant place to play in. It’s thronged with the disaffected dregs of humanity, with litter and decay everywhere. And it’s unremitting, with the only beauty belonging to the rich, who have jungle plants growing inside their lift shafts in a desperate attempt to introduce some hint of greenery.

    The badlands surrounding the city are empty, brown grasslands with desperate communities scrabbling for existence. So, no relief there.

    The whole thing is tawdry, badly assembled and ill-founded from the start, so unlike The Witcher 3, which had genuine moments of real beauty and mystery as well as (eventually) a robust engine on which to run things.

    I wish I had stuck to my initial instinct - to pick this up in a year’s time for a tenner in a sale.

I'm actually sad that all these bugs and glitches are covering all the bad game mechanics present in the game, because that's what we should discuss here. Bugs will be fixed (hopefully) but it will be way more difficult to make this a decent game, let alone the game that it should have been according to CDPR claims.
    In no particular order and without mentioning assorted bugs: The open-world is empty and uninteresting; NPCs are dumber than in a PS1 game; your choices of action or dialogue make absolutely no difference whatsoever throughout the main story; side quests are repetitive and boring; the skill tree is unbalanced and pretty much useless (just find a better weapon); the loot system and inventory are confusing; the hacking system is... meh, chances are you will use two or three hacks at most; should I even talk about the police? Let us pretend that it's just a bug; graphics are indeed amazing more often than not if you have a powerful PC but on the flip side, the game is so horribly optimized.

    To conclude, just don't buy this game yet, wait at least for the bugs to be fixed but even after that, this will be remembered as an unimpressive effort. Games like GTA V or RDR2 are just on a completely different level.

    NPCs run away or cower when V takes fall damage as if there was a shootout.
    The wanted system is utterly broken: even doing a crime in the desert makes the police spawn behind you out of nowhere, if it wasn't sad enough they aren't fast enough to catch you on foot and can't drive cars so escaping is never a problem, not only that, crossing the other side of the street is enough to get them off your back, you can even murder some of them, run away, then come back to the scene and the surviving officers won't remember who you are or what you just did to their colleagues 10 seconds ago, this includes the fabled MAX-TAC squads shown in the prologue, they somehow forget you exist after walking or driving a few blocs away, as a consequence, you can kill npcs, even important ones like ripperdocs with total impunity.
    NPCs have no driving IA, cars routinely stop moving during turns, creating huge traffic jams before suddenly disappearing and Trauma teams routinely disappear after you pass them on the sidewalk.
    Trying to go through open windows sometimes makes an invisible force push V 400 meters away while allied NPCs sometimes slide through walls and closed doors like ghosts

    Alongside the list of bugs that makes the game feel iike an alpha build of itself, the amount of cut content is astonishing: picking any of the 3 classes, Nomad, Corpo or Street Kid has no influence on the progression of the story or side quests except for some extra lines of dialogues your V can choose from, and none have any influence on the different endings of the game, which are tied to more or less 3 quests at the very end of the game, the only difference is the prologue, afterwards it's identical.
    There's huge amounts of cut content: no multiple stealth kill animations depending on the weapons used or environment, instead you get only one and there is no differences between stealth killing or knocking them unconscious, they still appear as dead bodies to the enemy and the reaction is the same
    Hacking looks nothing like the preview trailers and is much less complex than presented in the preview

    the only saving grace of this game is its story and characters

The game's story and writing doesn't feel like it was from a team of 43 writers, but instead it feels like it was written by a small group of 14 year olds, trying to make an actually good story, without any knowledge of how to do that. The gameplay mechanics, such as driving, shooting, interacting with NPC's were mostly enjoyable, with the exception of melee combat making me feel like I was playing Skyrim all over again. The collision physics were also questionable at times, such as when driving at high speeds and bumping into another car, and the other car simply going over you without a scratch on either of you, or you or a NPC getting horribly misaligned during a scripted scene. The strange behaviour of NPC's would have been comical, were it not happening at all times, during combat, during scripted and emotional scenes and completely ruining them, or just walking down the street. If you are given the chance to not buy this game, then take it, and wait for another year, and hope that it gets improved in that time. Expand

    Especially the car AI is one of the worst i have ever seen with absolutely no thought put into it. The car physics are fun but thats about the only good thing i can say about cars.

    When it comes to bugs, this game is nearly broken. Cars keep appearing out of nowhere and disappearing into nowhere right in front of you. On missions AI cars run you over because none of them are even programmed to mind you at all. If you get police on you, have fun with 10 npc spawning right on you and instantly killing you. There are absolutely no rules what spawns and despawns when and where.
    Sometimes it's so bad that you cannot even progress anymore because some conversation is stuck.

    I usually dont really care to much about bugs nor write reviews about it, i accept things going wrong like in Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption etc , but this game punches you in the face constantly with all kinds of bugs which i find is an insult considering how long this game took to be released.

    This game isn't all bad but unfortunately it is enough to get completely frustrated with it. If you play the game entirely for the story, then you will have fun with it. If you want a halfway deep, immersive and polished game, you best stay away from it.

But the quantity of bugs, major glitches, bad mecanics, stupidly useless leveling system, bad crafting, boring characters for the most parts, makes this game one of the biggest let downs of my lifetime.

    Trash game, not worth 20$ even on special. CD Projekt just trying to ride the Witcher 3 wave all the way to the bank with overhyped garbage new IP.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my un-sugarcoated review of this game the "Amazing detail" is only seen in cutscenes and vehicles, the game isn't amazingly built, terrible performance, the massive skyscrapers you see are under detailed when up-close and the map itself isn't that detailed or big for that matter so I can't see any other reason why this should run so bad except for terrible optimization, unless your running at ultra (which i barely could with my 1070) this game looks graphically mediocre RDR2 looks and runs better for comparison, story is ok but the missions are very repetitive, run into a building, kill some people, repeat until you get the odd mission where something actually different happens, money is also very hard to earn since the only viable way to earn a decent amount of it is through side missions, which yet again, are very repetitive.
    Keanu Reeves sounds like he's half dead throughout the whole game probably due to the stupid amount nice but unnecessary voice lines he has.
    The ending is incredibly dry, either V dies or Johnny, and no further progression after the ending it just loads you back into your last save which seems very lazy for the developers.

    The game is littered with more bugs than a Bethesda game, and is missing more promised features than the original Watch Dogs, ultimately leaving the game with gameplay that is below average even if you are somehow able to ignore the bugs. Even more than half a year after it's initial release.

    The gameplay is stale and uninteresting as it brings nothing new to the table, the game has a lot of different gameplay styles to offer but its average at best in all categories, think of driving, shooting, melee, hacking and to be honest we can't really speak of any opportunities for stealth in this game due to the lacking AI.

    The story, worldbuilding, and lore of the game is however very good, which is no surprise due to the large amount of source material available to CDPR. Its really easy to get completely immersed in the world of the game.
    However where they lacked was in the differences between the starting points of the game, CDPR gave us a choice between 3 startingpoints of the game: nomad, streetkid & corpo. These were supposed to have great impact on our story, unfortunately the only change it offered was the very beginning of the game and later on a few dialog options which ultimately don't do much.

    The game is just in an unfinished state right now. As stated earlier there are a bunch of promised features just straight up missing from the game. But you can see in the game however that they were planning to implement them, there are plenty of areas where you can see in the level design that certain features were supposed to be used, like using gorilla arms to break open doors, or mantis blades to run on walls. These details in level design remain even though the features themselves got scrapped probably due to insufficient time for development. It goes much further than just those however, players have already found completely decorated interiors in otherwise inaccessible buildings like clothing stores and barber shops, showing that at one point during development they were planning on implementing these into the game.

    Overall this makes the game just not what people suspected it to be nor what CDPR had promised to deliver. Even more than half a year after it's initial release and CDPR promising to keep improving the game after release. The best they have been able to do is make small changes to how the police spawn around the player, some animation changes and a bunch of bugfixes which the player barely notices in the ocean of bugs that still remain. Although I appreciate the initiative to fix those bugs, there has not been an attempt to improve the actual gameplay itself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the games story and world building is really good. If you are looking for a theme park game to enjoy a world and story this is a decent choice. But the good really ends there aside from basic RPG skills systems being in



    But everything else is just poor. Bad shooting system and Item drops. You get guns that white that are just better then the legendary items you spent 2-3 hours trying to get. The game gives you no hint that crafting is one of the most important skill trees to go into or else you won't be able to upgrade any weapon above commons. The mods cant be removed basically telling you to never use the legendary ones until the end or else it will be stuck in an item to weak to use. The ai just run at you and some times seek cover but for the most part are so bad at pathing they will stand in the open the entire fight. Spawns are bad too. Tried the police system and it makes GTA V look like a miracle. Cops spawn within 5ft of you sometimes even right infront of your gun mid shooting.

    The melee combat system is the worst. With no lock on features the ai always gets behind you while its impossible to get behind them. And the fist fight missions make it even more clear how bad it is with heat seeking punchs that cant miss unless you dodge. Space means nothing as they will slide 500m to you. They hit unbelievably hard on the hardest mode. Every fight is 2 hit ko for you even with maxed out fist fighting skills. This is probably the most frustrating part of fist fighting because its a difficulty that would be manageable if any part of melee combat actually worked. I would not recommend it for those who want to test skills on hard modes as half the time the AI breaks by accident and the other half its just sliding across the map to hit you with a locked on attack. Graphics suck. Takes way to expensive of a machine to get great numbers and the quality of it is still sub par. 12 year old skyrim has better water physics and graphics then this. GTAV makes this game look 15 years old with everything except lighting. A poor experience and a game i regret buying at full price. This is a $30 USD game at best.

You rescue a person being attacked by a gang and that person just stands there screaming that they're being attacked, not a single pedestrian has ever had anything to say to me or responded to me in any way outside generic no-context blurbs. Its not immersive in any way, compared to something like GTA or Red Dead Redemption 2, its just not on the same level by any stretch of the imagination.

    The story so far seems interesting, and the voice acting is great, but that's about it. Not at all what they have marketed it to be even if you ignore all the hype.

    So yeah 2/10 because its broken in so many ways, if/when they fix the game I will update to maybe 5/10 or 6/10, can't see it being much more than that based on how shallow and empty it is outside the story missions.

    Criou-se uma expectativa tão grande que imaginávamos um jogo ao nível de GTA ou The witcher 3, porém o jogo tem uma jogabilidade bagunçada, inteligência artificial dos inimigos horrível , otimização para as gerações anteriores péssima. Enfim, parece um jogo qualquer , porém cheio de bugs. CD projekt, volte para o mundo medieval .

    If this game was play tested, any notes or critique was clearly ignored.

    dismantling, selling, or crafting items is a constant chore that I have spent literal hours doing one click at a time. Character upgrades are capped in a way that you will have to be VERY selective about where you put your skill points, and the skill points you get are given out at a painfully slow drip feed.

    The main storyline is.... fine? The game shines with it's side quests, but it is by no means as gratifying as I was hoping.

    $128,000 motorcycle is no faster or better handling than the free one you get (I saved before the purchase, so this wasn't a complete loss of currency)

    The AI is stupid.... I occasionally trigger police alerts just to level up because you can kill the 3 or 4 waves they send your way without dying fairly easily, then you just walk away after said waves and your 5 star rating just kind of goes away...

    I'll give this game a point for graphics and a point for music also one point for fixing this mess at least to the point it plays better than CoD: Cold War. As for the rest it plays and looks like a cheap and annoying version of GTA. And did I mention that for most of the time, it's boring!

    I really can't believe I'm giving Cyberpunk a negative review but here we go.

    The game is simply not what was promised. I pre-ordered this game back when they were heavily marketing it as an RPG. Now it is action adventure. It doesnt take long before you discover that behind the beautiful visuals the game is paper thin. I wasn't expecting Red dead 2 level of depth but at least a bare

It doesnt take long before you discover that behind the beautiful visuals the game is paper thin. I wasn't expecting Red dead 2 level of depth but at least a bare minimum attempt at something amazing. Visuals aside this is an average game at best and honestly a poor excuse for an open world. It should NOT have been open world. I love CDPR but they were clearly not able to pull this off. Over promising and under delivering is an understatement. Features they claimed make a difference, make none. Your character is not your own. Nearly all decisions are made for you. Enemy ai? You'd be lucky to see them take cover. Bullet sponges. Loads of useless. Civilian AI & police AI is non existent. I could go on and on about how this company lied to you. This game is as vast as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. The moment you put your feet in, its beauty fades and you realize it's all a lie.

    Unfinished game without an AI, a completely fake open world experience and a “meh” storyline that looks like a washed out William Gibson “greatest hits”

    im on a ps4 pro with my cyberpunk 2077. but i really want people to see honest reviews and experiences with this game so im posting it on both ps4 and pc.

    this game does nothing new at all. wheres all promised features and genre changing stuff they talked about and held the game back in development for 8 years for? This game is a huge buggy mess. textures don't load i can see

    this game does nothing new at all. wheres all promised features and genre changing stuff they talked about and held the game back in development for 8 years for?

    This game is a huge buggy mess. textures don't load i can see through the world. it feels like this game has huge memory leak issue. if you move around or drive around, its no wonder they took out flying cars for players. the world doesn't load in and often you can stand around having done nothing and objects will be floating, npcs will pop in out of no where.

    the ground wont even be there. smh. so done with the gaming industry and all the **** instead of spending all that money on keanu reeves and music bands, i like keanu but the music is garbage, a simple (fallout 3/4 style) talk radio station that plays a few tracks of music that had cyber tronica or edm would have been clever and a lot better.

    the storys ok but the bugs are just kicking my ass. im at the point and barley into act 2 where i just don't even wanna play.

    soon as i get into the game it crashes or spaz's out or something happens not due to even playing the game that just is hugly off putting.

    give it a year maybe they'll fix some bugs and it'll be playable. this just flat out reminds me of fallout 76's **** all over again, a trend that is getting way to common place in the gaming industry. releasing trash and telling me its truffle laden gold.

    I give the story itself, the main quest line story, an 8. Of course, it can only be an 8 if you do the right side quests which fills out Johnny's character and V's relationship to him. If you just do the main quest line, the story is at most a 6.
    The open world aspects get a 0. They aren't there. You can't really customize anything. Most of the shops are unfinished, and half of the shops

    The open world aspects get a 0. They aren't there. You can't really customize anything. Most of the shops are unfinished, and half of the shops that were supposed to be in the game do not exist at all. It is very easy to have a million Euro-Dollars and literally nothing to spend it on.
    The game physics are ... passable. Car physics are a bit bad. Driving is atrocious. There's supposedly interesting bullet physics in the game, but there is literally 0 reason to use them. 4/10 - because the driving is that damned bad.
    RPG elements. Even worse than the open world. They just aren't there. 0/10. I wish I had more to say, but they just aren't there.
    The reputation system, wanted system, etc is an absolute joke. Cops spawn from thin air in front of you and even if you have the maximum level of wantedness, it will completely fall away if you simply walk a block. 0/10
    The character customization tool is nice, but very much under utilized. You can only do any character customizing during creation - you can't change your hair, get tattoos, etc during the game. There are three penis sizes to choose from, but only 1 vagina variation. And it doesn't matter as I played through the game twice and never once saw my own junk. Not once. If you are wearing a hat and look in a mirror (which, btw, is not a reflective surface in the game world that you walk past, it's one of a handful of things you must interact with), you are bald. Inexplicable you are bald and NOT wearing your hat. In the mirror. 0/10
    Personally, I do not think this is a big of a ripoff as No Man's Sky was. However, No Man's Sky was from a dev with a lot less experience. There is no excuse at all for CDPR, who did this after the NMS debacle. And lied through their teeth the entire time.

    Genuinely, people should be in jail because of this. Fraud is a crime.

    IF this game was released on 5 years ago it would be "OKAY".
    But now 2020, everything look outdated.

    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.
