    Contrary to CDPR trying to say the game's only problems are with base consoles, I would argue that this game's biggest problems go well beyond bugs, crashes, and performance.

In almost every respect, this game is a half-baked, unpolished mess with only some hints at what could have been a great game. It redeems itself somewhat by certain elements, but it's hard not to feel ripped off, even on PC. My experience with Cyberpunk has been a wake-up call to 1) never pre-order games ever again, 2) never purchase a CDPR game again, unless several years have passed, it has been thoroughly-vetted, and is at a bargain bin price, and 3) be extremely skeptical of online review sites: unbelievable that so many reviewers immediately jumped to give this mess 9s and 10s.

    With bugs around every corner, clearly unfinished or cut content, mediocre shooter mechanics, a lifeless open world, and so on, it is hard to even know how to begin reviewing this game.

    I think what best encapsulates the problems with Cyberpunk is the example of witnessing an NPC playing guitar on the streets for the first time. It was incredible to see the level of detail: they are playing a song that corresponds to their individual finger movements and correct guitar chords. However, five minutes later you could accidentally run over an NPC due to the horrible driving mechanics, triggering a "police chase," which consists of police drones just appearing out of thin air; drive down a corner and suddenly you are no longer wanted. That's it. You also see how cars aren't even programmed to move around you or notice that if you look at cars in the distance they appear as weird JPEG cut-outs. The list goes on and on with some of the most primitive elements of game design either not functioning or wholly absent. It is as if the developers spent time on "nExT-gEN" features like NPCs playing accurate guitar chords but somehow left out so many simple features. This extends to lifeless NPCs, a horrible user interface, boring and shallow "RPG" mechanics, short main story, pointless origin choices, and so on.

    The game does have some strengths buried in there, and I would say that is with the core main storyline, character design, voice-acting, soundtrack, and potentially graphics. I say potentially because the game looks great only on high-end hardware. Any mid-range PC even seems to end up looking blurry and grainy. The scripted cutscenes and certain interiors look fantastic though and the visual atmosphere is overall really good.

    The core storyline with Johnny Silverhand was pretty good and kept me emotionally invested; however, it is nothing revolutionary. It relies on pretty much every previously made cyberpunk trope. I love the genre, so this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just not very original. The voice-acting and characters were overall excellent, especially female V, Johnny Silverhand (Keanu), and Jackie Welles. I also really liked the soundtrack with a few stand-out tracks that I continue to listen to even after finishing the game. These elements were enough to keep me playing through to the end, but definitely don't save the game from ultimately being an overhyped, mediocre mess for the most part.    … Expand

    A great game like at 100 with more hours and a variety of missions. I am glad that the official developer gave an interview and plans to improve the game.
    immersion, great music, great characters, but poor quality.
    And nevertheless undeservedly low marks, therefore 10/10.

The crowd density of the city is unmatched in any game by far. It's really helps bring everything to life with more immersion. Many repeats of NPCs however. The gunplay feels fantastic early. Super weighty, and the sound design is incredible. People say it's spongey, it's an RPG, not an FPS. It isn't spongey like The Division, enemies do react to being shot, umm, sometimes. Don't expect to kill with one headshot early on but there are perks that can help with that when coming from stealth. When you get a critical headshot it's very rewarding, especially when you know you modified or crafted a weapon, or leveled up or utilized a perk to make it happen. You can't go into this thinking it's an fps. You have to be strategic, and the customization of perks and weapons is deep! On difficult, the game is very challenging early, the ai is intense, all though not always consistent. For example when overheating enemies with quick hacks when unseen, the ai just takes it without much reaction. The action gets fast and intense with great pace and a phenomenal score. Unfortunately this doesn’t last. If only. The combat gets very boring once you start leveling up. The AI is exposed and quite honestly it pains me to say, horrible. Even on the highest difficulty the game is extremely easy. You can kill almost anyone with a single headshot after a while, which is fine by me, except most NPCs just wait for you to do so. There is hardly any challenge at all unfortunately, and this really drags the game down. NPCs can be found zonking out in the corner without a care in the world awaiting for the grim reaper that is you. The story of the game is the strength, but it can’t compare to the brilliance of the Witcher, so be sure to reset your expectations. The life paths unfortunately don't seem to effect the game very much, and feel a bit disjointed. I'm playing as a Nomad, and I act like I have known people in Night City for a long time right away. There's some heavy exposition done with a montage which is disappointing, and I question the replay-ability from a life path perspective. Sure you can play again in an entirely different way, but the narrative seems to drive itself far more than I anticipated. It does seem like your choices matter to a degree, but I don't feel like my life path choice matters at all. I have avoided some conflict thought dialogue, but expected there would be more choice and passive options overall. With that said, the writing of each individual mission is intriguing and well crafted. Quest design is excellent! There are several outcomes possible in some scenarios. You can get to 100 hours easily, but the longer I played the less satisfied I became. There's a ton of thoughtful gigs, meaningful side quests, and places to explore. When you invest in crafting and selling all your collectibles your time is going to shoot up way up, and it's rewarding for only the beginning stages of the game. After that it’s an unbearable grind. If you are going to do a slow burn, you'll have to make some mental excuses as the main story has much urgency. Urgency is good for story, but conflicting for open world rpgs. Structure is important, and it isn’t well designed in Cyberpunk 2077. For those looking only for a quick story this will be perfect, but you will be rewarded more for exploration, and a city this dense demands it. So the structure has a confound, but it's a matter of perception.

    There's an overwhelming amount of missions to do in Night City. I wish there was more opportunity to take advantage of some of the set, such as sit down and eat a meal or have a drink like in RDR2, or upgrade your apartment, purchase a new one, customize your look after creation, customize your car, play the arcades you keep seeing, etc. We know CDPR creates fantastic DLC, so it isn't out of the question. With that said I can't speak highly enough about the crowd density in this massive city. This game is going to get a ton of hate because of all the hype and delays, and the very unfortunate console experience. Some of that is deserved if the game isn't playable, but here on PC I haven't had many issues. The issues are with the game itself. Overall the world, and attention to story feels solid, despite a questionable structure. The gameplay has been exciting with some solid depth, but ultimately brings the game down with bad AI and way too much loot that makes crafting worthless because you are constantly finding better equipment than you can craft. You’ll need to empty your inventory every hour which is a pain in the butt. I made a heavy investment spanning 100 hours because I love the city and many moments of the story CDPR created. Unfortunately the longer I played the more flaws I saw.    … Expand

    The deeper you play and drink it in, the more it evolves into a masterpiece. Being a true GTA, and other open world games fan, this is amazing. Understanding your PC hardware specs and having the true gamer rig to handle this at full beauty is amazing hands down. Don't always judge reviews, try it as I did my research for hardware first.

    well, cyberpunk 2077, one of the most controversial games ever, is it really as bad as people say? I had to play it myself to find out the truth so here is my review according to my about 20hrs playtime:

    there was a lot of hype around the game and the devs lied about a lot of the features of the game which turned out to be lies but the game isn't as bad as people say.
    the biggest (or maybe only) advantage of cp2077 is it's story and narrative, while your choices don't impact the story as much as I expected, it's story has been really exciting from start until now the characters are also good.
    when you play cp2077 you feel you are experiencing an incomplete mess which could be a masterpiece if more time was spent working on it, the game lacks necessary details that you expect from an open world game, the npc and enemy ai is terrible, the vehicle handling is aweful, animations aren't natural and you will see a lot of bugs, including game breaking ones. on the other hand there are many weopons and upgrades and various missions that you can enjoy the main missions are good (bugs aside) but most of the side quest are boring imo.
    while nightcity is designed very well and the game's graphics are nice (especially lighting) the game's world feels empty and lifeless.
    the game isn't optimized even on pc, I had to lower the resolution to 90% and lock the fps to 30 while I can play other games with better graphic settings.
    overally I think cyberpunk 2077 worths playing, especially if you have a descent PC, you will surely enjoy it's beautiful graphics and exciting story.    … Expand

    The game is not what devs wanted to present us at the beginning, so yes, if you're still living in 2015 and expect the game to be what you had been promised then, then it will disappoint you.

    A lot has been cut out, yet the initial intentions were in fact gigantic and, I guess, the main reason I admire the game so much is that I've never believed they could achieve that in the first place, and they still delivered a lot. And I thought that all the chip-stuff would be too complicated and tedious and won't work, and yet, CDPR delivered, and it JUST WORKS (sort of. It's still somewhat complicated, but totally playable).
    And it is still a great game. Unpolished - yes (and yet for PC it was pretty much satisfactory from the day one - much better then TES and later Battlefield series on their release). But the game is great, and, what matters the most, it IS the "new Deus Ex" for the new generation of gamers. In general, gameplay outmatches or at least smoothly accommodates everything that has been done in this direction, and CDPR have actually delivered the true NEW GAME of immersive sim genre.
    The UI is still somewhat flawed tho. For example, they really had to dig more into GTA's map. But that's not something you cannot get used to. Except for turns. Damn turns. They really should zoom out the map or angle it.

    A lot of people complain that the game is not optimized properly. Yet they forget that for HL2 PCs from 2000 were too old, for Oblivion PCs from 2002 were too old, and for Cyberpunk it's only 2013-2014. 7 years old PCs can run Cyberpunk smoothly (on low settings tho), instead of 2-4 years old, as it was for games that were coming out in early 00's. And Activision games? CoD Warzone makes my PC burn on low settings, while I play Cyberpunk smoothly on high settings, while it's Cyberpunk what is actually the nextgen.
    And, I guess, the problem is that there were no games since the start of 2017. No, really. RDR2, SW Jedy Fallen Order, FarCry 5 and New dawn,.. Control? That's all, except for factory-stamped CoD and Assassins. People just got loosen up by indie games and forgot that serious major new games require serious hardware. So, for short: STFU and upgrade your PC. You only need like 2015's hardware with 16GB RAM and a videocard that has 6+ GB VRAM to run Cyberpunk absolutely smoothly, and you can get it for roughly $500 (or $1k, if you'd like to buy all new parts, which is exactly the cost of a new PC in early 00's, heh).

    Yet, I must say, that absolutely stupid people mob AI makes the game quite... disbalanced. It's like you live in a braindead city. Or in a simulation. And I do hope that CDPR would change that with some of their patches.
    So, for me, with all the bugs and stupid AI and scripted scenes, it's solid 8/10. Probably it could've been 6, but I'm not just a regular pew-pew-gamer and I see the technical side of the game, thus I see the enormous effort. And considering all the flame on the internet, and here in reviews, I think that my duty is to balance the score with a ten.    … Expand

NPS's are stupid, struggling to even walk in a straight line. Instead of getting into high speed police chases, like in GTA 5, police just spawn behind you. They don't even use their cars, so if you commit a crime, you can just drive away and wait for them to stop spawning. It is an extremely disappointing game that is leagues below The Witcher 3.

Doing some low level gigs just to earn some eddies. it's all great, and than, ACT 1 ends and.. well. Magic is gone, you switch from another worthless piece of meet from street to Rambo style superhero, evaporating anyone just by looking at them. High tech Corpo soldiers with best military chrome available going against you in throngs. No problem bro, you just smash them to pulp in like 2 seconds. Those almost godlike untouchable Corpo bosses, fixers, anyone.. they just became clowns, easy to touch, no more aura of power or respect. That palpable aura of uncertainty, betrayal, feelings like no man.. this gig just can't end well which you get from act 1, gone. And that is really pity.

    But, game is still great, main quests are not bad at all. Got good times just roaming around city, doing this gig and that, smashing perpetrators in NCPD quests. Overall, game is good and definitely worth playing. Don't mind much that quest are linear, gigs are just like playing MMORPG, go there, kill everyone or sneak through, click on one computer/van/bag and don't care for whatever backstory is there, because in another 2 seconds that would not matter at all. Can be fun for some time, cause you are free to do it your way. Once you just sneak around, other time charge with katana or handgun.

    Character development is ok, you have plenty branches to specialize into. Biggest issue for me is that game is so extremely easy, even on hardest difficulty. There is no need for planning your character, improving weapons, trying to get best chrome or guns, because.. you can easily smash anyone with just white common pistol and no perks.. and that is by my opinion big missed opportunity how to make game even more enjoyable. I understand that on PC with mouse and keyboard playing FPS game is so much easier than on console with pad.. but there should be at least another 2 more options for game difficulty.

    Overall, give it a try, even if you would just go through main story. You wont be bored.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game that gets too much unjustified hate just because of the bugs and problems.

    There are many things in the game that work perfectly:

    Amazing storytelling - one of the best I've seen lately. The story is super emotional, the writing makes sense and I was always excited when I moved forward in the story. I would definitely appreciate longer main story. Main quests are accompanied by important side quests, that often feel like they are part of the main storyline. I personally don't mind the lack of choice and impact of your choices, but I can imagine you might get upset because of this. The beginning could have been longer, since your life path matters only a little bit. ENDING SPOILER: Personally I don't really like that you are being pushed into a certain ending without much of a choice (picking Rogue/Johnny attacking Arasaka ends with the Sun ending, although I would love to leave Night City, like in the Star ending).

    Character development and interactions - this is the part of the game I enjoyed the most, the many different interactions V has with the characters. I played as female V and the relationship with Judy is just amazing, probably the best romance I've ever seen in a game. I think most of the success depend on the animations and this game has some really incredibly animated scenes full of little details.

    Overall the quests (both main and side) are amazing and prove that CDPR has some truly talented writers.

    Music - flawless. The soundtrack and radio songs are just amazing, I can't imagine anyone disliking the music in this game.
    World building - amazing as well. Night City is an incredibly detailed environment, each part of the city is unique, you can clearly tell which city part you are in currenly just by looking around. Although the map might not look large at first, believe me, it's huge. You will most likely remember the most frequently visited areas of the map, such as area around V's home, Jig-Jig street, pretty much anything along the main roads. But there are hundreds of cleverly hidden alleys. Often you won't even know where you are (without looking at the map). The verticality also plays a role in this, certain areas of the city might include multiple street levels (shops hidden at the bottom, above that is the main street which also has a foot-walk and above it all is a highway). There are also numerous buildings you'll visit that have an elevator taking you to different floors. This is something I wish would be explored even further, you don't really get a chance to explore the megabuildings properly.

    The gameplay - it might feel a little bit slow at the beginning, mostly because of the large skill trees. As you level up though, you unlock more powerful perks that often offer some really unique ways of approaching threats. You can play as a strong gun-man, or be a netrunner, or rely on catanas and be a stealthy assassin. There are many different ways you can get a powerful build (my endgame build was a netrunner with some nice shooting skills).

    Of course not everything worked out well:

    Bugs - what else to say, this is what everyone mentions everywhere. Honestly it's impossible not to encounter a bug in the game. Most of the time thankfully it's only a visual problem - missing objects, shadow problems, etc. Not too terrible, but it can ruin an emotional moment a little bit.

    AI - probably my biggest issue with the game. The enemy AI is ok, although sometimes they don't move or react. It's not terrible, but not great either. City NPCs can act weirdly when they encounter some violent activity - sometimes they run away, other times they duck and remain in ducked position even a few streets down the road where other NPCs are walking without any issues. Driving AI is the worst though, basically non existant. Vehicles don't react dynamically, they just follow a precalculated path and don't even try to break that behaviour. Police AI also is non existant. If you do some illegal activity they just spawn all around you. Everytime I triggered a police wanted sign I just escaped, because there is absolutely no fun in dealing with them. My recommendation is to just avoid any law violations.

    Missing/unbalanced content - as it's been said everywhere else, there was obviously some cut content. Sometimes it's clearly visible, like the missing metro (it's just a fast travel, it's not even marked on the map). Lack of activites you can do in Night City is quite a big of a problem too. Apart from the quests, gigs, police activities and some shops, you don't really have anything to do in the city and that's a shame considering how amazing and alive the city is. I also have an issue with unbalanced content, way too many pointless activities (just like the Witcher 3 had MANY questionmarks on the map), I would rather see some more side quests. This is not just Cyberpunk's problem, so it's not that big of a deal.

    Overall a great game with even greater potential.    … Expand

    So much potential here, what a disappointment.
    Yes there is some nice eye candy: the lighting, cars, bikes, some buildings... all modeled very well. The character models are nice too. But the interface, and clunkiness of basic functions, such as looting, it's so broken.
    They truly did rush this out the door, and it should never have been promised on so many consoles at once. It's    So much potential here, what a disappointment.

It's true the install base of PS5/xboxwhatever is not what it needs to be for profits but that can come later. But another sad fact that becomes obvious when you play on PC is that the PC version was not fully optimized for PC. It's close, but really should have stayed separate, if that's even possible.

    I finished the main story and half the side missions in about 55hrs. I'll go back and try a different role after another patch or two. Buy a cheap GoG key if you want to try it, Steam is overpriced right now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From when the first trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 debuted in 2013, I was very excited of the idea and the theme and wanted to have the game as soon as I saw it. Now when we come to 2020, when the game was showcasing gameplay, more trailers, I wanted to know more of the game and hope for the best when finally it was released. I was not disappointed of the content that CD Projekt Red has given me and I was not let down in the slighted when it comes to this game. The visuals were jaw-dropping and made me happy to see what next generations graphics has brought to the table and happy to see what future games have in store. The story kept me engaged and eager to see what has happening next and where else I'm going to go. My only gripe were the characters that were involved in the plot. They needed more time to settle to get to really know them and understand who they are, especially one character that you are introduced in the beginning of the game. The gameplay was fast and I appreciate that you can tackle certain areas however you wanted and it gives off a level of creativity when you have certain attributes or upgrades that you get along your journey. They also gave the player a simple level up system to where you can gain experience and distribute your points in the playstyle that you prefer which is very appealing you can level up those areas as well and gain rewards by simply playing the game and become stronger by doing it. You can be able to craft weaponry and clothing that you use throughout your journey but it needs a lot of work for it can be exploitable to gain resources rather than spending it and using a simple mouse spam hotkey would almost give you infinite guns and clothes that you can craft at your leisure. When I found out about this, I immediately took advantage of it and soon enough I was able to craft loads of guns, clothes, accessories and sell them to make money and then craft and disassemble again and repeat the process all over again which made me rich and strong at the early stages of the game. My one big disappointment however is that the game is not really finished and with the release to previous generation consoles was a big struggle to those that are wanting to play the game. To further add to that, they removed a large amount of content that should have been in the game, it horribly optimized during its release date. They are quickly starting to patch things up and fix most of the problems that have occured but it needed to fixed before the game was even released and sets up a bad example to the trusted company that CD Projekt Red as displayed from their previous titles. However, with the new patches that have came through makes the game playable to those that are playing on console and the its helpful to those that are playing on PC and I hope that with future patches that this company is doing will soon make this game and enjoyable experience that everyone should play and experiences that mature themes that this game displays and handles.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game. 115 hrs. I decided I will push through this constantly crashing garbage of a game and see the story through, since I've heard it's actually good. It's not. Spoilers ahead so be warned. I've only finished it once and checked the other endings on the web since I thought there's no point replaying the game as the other endings are likely to be the same. And they are the same. There are basically 5 endings and all of them are bad. There's no good ending. All endings are more or less depressing. Some endings give you some consolation for a life wasted away. Others are just pure nonsense. In short, wasted time and money. Disappointment of a decade. I didn't hear one good music track in the game. Dialogs are well acted, but boring. Nothing really grabbed my attention much, maybe aside from Panam story, which cuts short once you bang her. Enemy AI in firefights is terrible. Counter Strike in the year 2000 had better written bots. Car driving is painful. The city seems dead. People walking, cars driving, etc. but there's 0 immersion effect. You just feel empty textures. Factions don't matter at all. It doesn't matter who you side with, nobody cares. The city doesn't react to you in any way, no matter how much street fame you have. No matter if you're good or bad. No matter what is your background. Unfinished product with not much hope of improvement, as it would require years of fixing bugs, adding meaningful mechanics and basic fun to it, to make it good.… Expand

    Not sure if there is a major difference between the Steam/GoG versions, but I refunded my steam copy a day after launch and recently picked up the GoG version through a third party website that had it on a 55% off sale.

    (note, many things will be listed under good AND bad for different reasons)...
    GOOD:
    -Main story/side quest NPC's are well written. I found myself wanting to do more quests with Panam, Judy, River, etc. I wanted to get to know them much more.
    -Night City is stunning and filled with potential, but on the surface only. Likewise with the badlands.

    Bad:
    -Main story. Not the actual writing, but length. I was floored when I hit the "point of no return" quest. It felt as if I was only 50% done the main story. While I'm happy it's not AS long as the Witcher 3 or many open world games, this was far, far too short.
    -Night City...Like I said, stunning world was crafted by CDPR, but only on the surface. After an hour or two or walking/running to missions you realize that's all this world actuall has to offer. Mission after mission, not fun side quests. No doors to buildings to open and explore (open-locked). It's a beautiful but hollow, empty city.
    -Police. Forget about killing random NPC's, police will just randomly turn on you. Helped them a few times for them to only attack and spawn more while I was looting the scene. I also jumped off a second floor balcony in front of police and they attacked. Worst police AI in gaming.
    -NPCs. When set to high they really add a lot of visual noise to Night City. But that's just it. Visual noise. They actually add nothing. They are far too alike, will often disappear if you look the other way, will run away or crouch in fear for no reason at all. Like the police, worst NPC ai in gaming.
    -Cut content/feeling unfinished. This game FEELS rushed. Every time I immerse myself in the world, around the corner is something that makes the game feel unfinished.
    -Life paths. This was my single and truly only major disappointment. The ONLY night city stream I watched was the life path one. It was made out to be a fairly significant thing that would provide you with a solid and good reason to re-play the game at least 3 times. In reality? The only major differences are the first 20-30 minutes. After that the only major thing comes in dialogue choices which for my nomad, never made a difference one bit.

    Bugs/Crashes:
    -For myself, I had no crashes at all. Bugs for me also amounted to t-poses, weapon display info staying on screen, items not lootable on the ground. Don't recall having any game breaking bugs. Having said that, everyone's experience with bugs will vary. Looking on youtube shows that bugs can be a serious issue in this game for many.

    Overall:
    Compared to when I played this game at launch, I did have fun with it. And there is fun that can be had with this game, but it does require overlooking many things.
    For myself, it reminds me of Fallout 4. A very mediocre game that doesn't excel in anything but one that I can still sink many hours into.

    I gave the game a 5 simply because there were moments that it felt like a solid 8, but other times a 2. In it's current state it's a very middle of the road game, at best.

    Should you buy it now? I'd say if you feel the itch to buy it, check out third party websites for sales, or simply wait for GoG/Steam to offer a 50%+ sale. Otherwise I'd hold off still.    … Expand

    If you have a great PC, some of the game looks very pretty. There's some snappy dialogue in there, too. Pretty cool side quests.
    Even if you have a great PC, however, the game is a sea of broken promises. Enemy, police, and NPC A.I. were better in GTA III. Driving was better in Watch Dogs. There are none of the branching story paths that they promised.

    First of all, I did not follow the hype train for this game. I learned not to trust any hype after the disaster called Fable (for Xbox). Instead I tried to avoid all videos and articles and my expectations were kinda mediocre when the game released.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is an alright game, it does not deserve the bottom scores many users give it, nor does it deserve the 9/10 and 10/10 several delusional professional game reviewers gave it.

    CDPR knows how to create interesting characters and a story that draws you into it. But they apparently lack the ability to create good gameplay. The driving sucks, the gunplay is barely sufficient, the game world feels so very limited and repetative.
    You can barely enter any of the buildings and stores you see on the streets, the AI is outright terrible and it seems like 2/3 of the content in the game is missing. The game world wasn't the least bit immersive and there are so few things to do in the game if you arent doing quests or story missions.

    I did not have as many bugs as the majority seems to experience. The playthrough for me was kindof smooth. Sure there were some wierd animations, and I got launched 200m from a window once, an enemy guard stuck in an elevator and so on but nothing serious.
    Performance wise the game played alright after I applied an unofficial CPU patch for the game (3060Ti & Ryzen 3600). I followed Digital Foundrys performance guide to set the game up with a tweak or two. The game looks really nice with very detailed characters. Not the best looking game I've seen but still beautiul graphics.

    I completed the main story along with a handful of side missions in around 45 hours of game time. And I have to say i enjoyed most of those hours even if I had a constant feel that this game could've been so much more. Would I recommend it? If you like a story heavy game with Cyberpunk setting, then yes. But for the best experience I also recommend that you wait a year or two to see if CDPR can fix some of the games shortcomings.
    I feel that the 40€ I spent on the game (on Epic Games Store) was reasonable for the entertainment it provided me.

    This game is somewhere between a 6 and a 7 for me. Fallout 4 (7/10 imo) was a better game, but still kinda mediocre in my opinion so I cant give Cyberpunk more than a 6/10.

    As a footnote I have to say that I really dislike CDPR for lying to and deceiving so many players around the world. They knew the game was in a bad shape but still pushed it out way too soon. This is nowhere near the "most immersive game ever" or any other lies they have told us. I tried my best not to let this affect my honest score and how I feel about the game itself. But I really hope they get punished for their fraudulent behaviour.    … Expand

The problem is everything that's missing, everything that's been removed, I'm getting more and more frustrated when I find out everything that started to be put in place, and then abandoned.

    So why have I rated this game 10 out of 10?

    Because regardless of the negativity surrounding the launch (bugs included), this is the best damn RPG ever made!
    The graphics (at least on PC) are jaw-dropping. The gameplay is second to none; you want a sneaky stealth-a-like, this is it... Blows the likes of Deus Ex out of the water, and the hacking mini-game actually makes you think (... a little bit).
    You want a gung-ho run n' gun, you can't go wrong here. And the number of weapons, customizations, and crafting options will keep you coming back for more.

    As if that's not enough the stories, writing, voice acting, character development, etc. are all in a league of their own (OK so we expect at least this from CDPR, but you can't knock them down when they've only themselves to beat).

    There is so much to do in Night City, I played this game for 7 days straight, about 14 hours a day (Stuck in lock-down there's not a lot of time for anything but gaming, right?) before I decided I needed a break from it. And I still haven't seen everything the game has to offer.

    I completely understand the negative reviews for this game but, put the hype and disappointment to one side and look at it objectively... There isn't anything else in the world right now that is anywhere near as good as this and there probably won't be for the foreseeable future.    … 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.
