    So far I've had a very smooth experience with the PS4 pro version of the game, and it is really fantastic so far (6hrs in). Don't believe the hyperbolic internet.

    I know. 9 is a high score for such a buggy game.
    To be clear, im not gonna defend CDPR and how they handled their console edition, launch and delays in this review.
    I will focus on the product itself. I believe that this game is truly amazing and it raises the bar in the Singleplayer RPG genre. And let me explain why Story: its just amazing, no other word for it. No other game is    I know. 9 is a high score for such a buggy game.

    I will focus on the product itself. I believe that this game is truly amazing and it raises the bar in the Singleplayer RPG genre.

    And let me explain why

    Story: its just amazing, no other word for it. No other game is even close to this level of immersion. its just that good. I have been gaming ALOT in my 31 years on this planet and i have never experienced anything that could pull my heartstrings like this. Beyond that, the game makes you think about your choices and your journey.

    Sound/music: The sound is Okay, maybe a little above average. The music however, is just pure eargasm. I love it.

    Graphics/artstyle: This is a tough one. Personally, i think the world is beautiful. Even with a 2070 Super. Graphics are a tick above average. but the visual immersion and artstyle is leagues ahead of any other game that i am aware of.

    NPC's: Now this pisses me off. I have seen countless reviewers and comments criticising the NPC's. The truth is that this game has just as good (and by good i mean average) AI as any other game. I have absolutely no idea what the critics bases this on.

    Charcters: If you like RPG's, this game WILL make you care about the characters. To me, they felt almost like real people. Some are very likeable. Some you love to hate or hate to love ;)

    RPG aspect: I've seen this criticised alot too, and i don't understand. I have played alot of singplayer RPG's and this is by far the best and immersive system i have ever seen. And its just gonna get better with FREE DLC and paid expansions. i would say that the game is roughly 50% combat and 50% story. How much it leans to each side is a lot of times up to you as the player.

    Combat: Turns out that fast paced combat with a lot of customization options and lots of ways to tackle different situations is a good thing? Who would have thought. Seriously though, it is great for an open world rpg.

    The negative

    Bugs: You already know.

    Nudity: A game that markets itself as a mature game, where you can kill, dismember and execute people. There is suicide, torture, and extreme mental health problems, but HELL NO to naked men and woman in a world that is all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Nudity in a game enforces immersion because, surprise, its natural. And it is normal in real life. Its a shame that they didnt include this in the open world and missions.

    I agree that this game is not finished, and CDPR got a lot of making up to do. BUT bugs aside, this truly is a amazing game and is only gonna get better. This is a MUST have for any Singleplayer gamer. IF you have not played this game yet, but want to, you should wait a couple of months to get the best experience.    … Expand

    The story is solid and the main emphasis is aesthetics and world building. The combat and leveling is competent. I wish there was a lot more variety in the body types and modifications available.

It doesn't seem like that hard of a thing to build in, so hopefully there will be more variety later. Like, why not people with horns and doc oc appendages and **** The in game media is fairly wild, but that over-the-top attitude doesn't translate into the actual people you deal with, so it rings false sometimes. The ambience is excellent. That feels completely correct. The music is great. Weirdly, the best Jazz station of any videogame I've played. Anywho, excellent experience so far, about 40 hours in.… Expand

    *currently at 80 hours played, 1st full playthrough was 45 hours, but I was skipping a lot of side content planning on my 2nd playthrough being the 'real' one*

    This game has its issues, but at least for me the bugs and glitches haven't been more than annoying, and they've gotten better with the patches CDPR have put out. My worst problem was that I was getting a lot of crashing, but    *currently at 80 hours played, 1st full playthrough was 45 hours, but I was skipping a lot of side content planning on my 2nd playthrough being the 'real' one*

    This game has its issues, but at least for me the bugs and glitches haven't been more than annoying, and they've gotten better with the patches CDPR have put out. My worst problem was that I was getting a lot of crashing, but after troubleshooting that turned out to be either because of my GPU or the overclock I had on the GPU. (I ended up replacing the card and borrowing it to a friend, i haven't had a crash in 30 hours, he was crashing as we were setting the card up in his system until I removed the OC and left it stock)

    Despite the issues the game has, I am having a ton of fun with it. The gameplay is fun, I love how relatively real the characters in the game feel (especially how they randomly call and text you), I like the loot/craft/upgrade systems in the game, I enjoy the monkeying with the fashion of my character despite the game mostly being in 3rd person, great customization as far as character builds, the story isn't AMAZING but it is engaging and a lot of the side-quests and Gigs are really good, the game looks gorgeous (playing on an RX 6800 with mostly maxed settings, a few things that don't make a visual impact but do make a performance impact turned down), the world feels dense and alive...

    I just really enjoy this game, despite the flaws, and if the glitches and bugs are ironed out I would give it a 9/10.

    Some things that I would improve on... I like the 1st person view in a lot of the cars, but many have so much crap sticking out of the hood it's hard to see. Vehicle/clothes/gear customization. Being able to change V's appearance in game, even if just by a haircut. Improve traffic AI. Probably some others I'm not thinking of now, I don't think any game is a perfect 10/10, despite how often review sites throw that score around, glossing over issues with games or even dropping scores for things that has nothing to do with the game itself (like politics, racism issues or gender equality/freedom).

    Update: Currently at 117 hours in, finding tons of stuff I missed in previous playthroughs, being impressed with the detail the game has and how certain choices can make you completely miss things in the game or cause some events to never happen. I still haven't been really affected too much by bugs and glitches beyond some minor annoyance. Definitely a solid 8/10 game that for me is now creeping towards a 9/10 even with the bugs and glitches just because of everything I've found in more playing time that I'd missed or not noticed before.    … Expand

    If this game is launched exclusively on PC and Next gen console, I think it would receive far less criticism than it deserved. Played it on PC, and I don’t even have a killer one, GTX1080, it runs smoothly with some occasional bugs here and there which are expected. The storyline slowly grows on you and I can’t wait to play my second play-through

Solid main story, tons of sub-quests and excellent character progression system. I quite liked the crafting system as well, something I was not even expecting to be in the game.

But there are lots of visual bugs and glitches like floating heads inside cars, people stuck in stairs, mirrors not showing your hat and so on. This can and will be fixed by CDPR soon, I have no doubts about. It is sad they had to launch the game in current unpolished state, but this is a minor annoyance. However, the game has many flaws that will be very hard to fix if possible at all. First, the RPG element almost nonexistent. Dialogue options are not options at all - V's personality is pre-set and you would not have a luxury to choose his mood or alter his attitude. Some dialogues will not conclude unless you choose ALL available response options one by one and only after that script moves you further. NPC will not react on how you look or how cool your car is. In fact, they will not be affected by your actions at all. I ran naked with a drawn katana in a public market and nobody gave a wet slap about that. I do not see how THAT can be fixed without rewriting half a game. The world is truly, stunningly beautiful and created with love. Especially if you are fan of Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Deus Ex, Matrix and all other things cyberpunk. And it is very sad you will not be able to interact with vast majority of things in this world: no playing on pachinko machines, no eating noodles in a chines street food stalls, no smashing vending machines for another can of cola. You are not even allowed to sit on a bench and admire the view unless it is required by a main questline script. And this is not likely to be fixed with future patches as well, I afraid.

    To sum it up. Buy it now at the full price only if you are hardcore cyberpunk fan. If you look for good RPG or even a decent bug-free action game, wait for future patches and discounts.
    Will be happy to return and give a higher rate later after this mess is patched. 4/10 now.

    update as of June 2023. Now it shines! Really, good job CDPR, you fixed almost everything that could be fixed. It's not a masterpiece like Witcher3, but a great game anyway. Go grab it.    … Expand

With that said, this is a true open world game, yes there are linear quests, but the chance to explore and experience the world is there, and what a beautiful world it is.

    The graphics are very good, at times breathtaking. The world is rendered with a quality very rarely seen in video games and it may be this fact that led to so many problems with the console editions. It's hard for me to believe anything but a mid-range to high end pc could actually manage this game.

    The controls are good, sketchy at times, but no worse than other leaders in this genre, i.e. Skyrim, Fallout, and Witcher, in fact they are better than Witcher in almost every regard.

    The difficulty at normal seems, easy? That would be my only concern. It should have been Very Easy, Easy, Normal, and Hard as the levels of difficulty. The only missions that stop me on normal difficulty are Hard or Very Hard missions, and even then I've completed hard missions after some reloads.

    Overall I would say this may be regarded as one of the best video games every released. Is it a 10 now? No, Will it be a ten in a year, I believe it absolutely will be. Can you enjoy it on PC now? Yes and yes. I recommend this on PC to all my friends. It's an amazing game that will only get better.    … Expand

That being said, this game is truly an unpolished GEM. The ground work for everything amazing is all right here. What the game truly needed was another 6-8 months of development to clear out the bugs, and add a little bit more interactive-ness with NPCs. For example: I see a Ramen shop. I want something to do at said Ramen shop. Even showing me eating Ramen after a purchase would suffice. All of these are things that will likely be added when the game is ready. Unfortunately, the game was released unready. And that is why I can't give it a 10. I emphasize: this game is truly amazing, it is just unfinished. It is not like Star Citizen that has been sucking money and delivering nothing but glorified tech demos for 10 years. This game has delivered something that will be complete and will blow everyone away... assuming that the company is not sued into bankruptcy.… Expand

Makes you wonder if these rival game corpos are doing "online hits," so to speak.

    TL:DR: Good, but could have (and should have been) better. Worth the bugs though.

    Long review:

    Anyways, on to the game itself: this game is pretty much what you get when you combine Deus Ex: Human Revolution, GTA V, and The Witcher 3. The world map isn't enormous, but there's a lot of elevation and density to it, and the level of detail is impressive. The attention to detail, in particular, is commendable. News TV and advertisements have entire voiced segments, and are entertaining to watch the first few times. Even magazine covers on the magazine stands are readable (with plausible article titles! lol) instead of blurred out decorative pieces.

    There are a bunch of bugs that are being slowly addressed, but thus far after around 65 hours of gameplay, I've barely been affected. The game runs well enough on mostly Ultra for me (a couple of effects like cascading shadows and SSR turned down to high or disabled entirely) and looks stunning. A lot of the more glaring bugs are graphical ones that serve to break immersion, but also are kind of funny at times. I never felt like it was a big negative though, and I expected such bugs given the complexity and scope of the game. I also expect that they'll be fixed up in time, and I fully expect to do more playthroughs.

    The main cast of characters (Keanu Reeves is ofc excellent!) are compelling, interesting, and well-crafted. Secondary/tertiary characters are decent. I was a bit disappointed you couldn't romance Judy as a male pc, but that's a minor point and totally fine haha

    I will agree that the open world feels... filled, but lifeless. While there are a lot of NPC's with short and unique dialogue segments all over the place, for the most part there's not a lot of... life. Not a lot of movement outside of the side quests. Other than the people walking or driving around, of course.

    Speaking of side quests, they are AWESOME in this game. Some of the best quests I've done in an RPG since... Witcher 3, basically. I've basically been doing side quests (and there are A LOT of em) and barely advancing the main plot so far.

    Anyways, there are some valid negatives being pointed out by other reviewers, however underneath all the bugs, sometimes poor optimization, and substandard AI is a beautifully-crafted and complex game. Even now, to me, the game is worth playing, and I'm excited for another playthrough once everything is ironed out and improved!    … Expand

This game is good, easy 8.5 to 9 for me. 70 hours in, only two crashes via Stadia. Voice acting is good, the artwork is gorgeous. The AI needs to improve. That is the biggest problem for me. Clothing is cool, I look forward to a patch to change my hair style and look, but changing my cyber gear allowed for different experiences. High jump changed my play style. Playing as a female V was a ton of fun, the voice actress was pretty awesome. The story was good, not a save the world but save yourself story. I felt like a part of the city. I am impressed with all the hard work developers put into this. They definitely messed up with releasing an unfinished Ps4 and Xbox One edition and deserve the criticism they are getting for releasing those versions in a poor state, but on Stadia this game is a charm. I love Night City, got most of the cars, done a lot of side missions and the relations you can build with characters like Panam or Lucy are great. I should give it a 10 because of so many people giving it a zero without even playing it, but wont give it a fake score. It has some problems but nothing major on Stadia, and should be fixed by DLC and patches in the future. It has been a fun 70+ hours and counting. Would live in Night City over GTA Online and Red Dead Online if it adds a multiplayer online world in the future. It would be nice to get a new apartment. Great work on this game, but you should have waited to patch the problems or release it with people knowing is on early access to avoid this PR mess. Reminds me of No Man Sky. I love that game too, and how Hello Games has added more and more amazing features since release. Two very ambitious projects that simply needed more time and released a bit too early. Can easily see this becoming the next most improved game. I feel a lot of the criticism comes from people that don't appreciate how hard it is to build something this extensive. Keep up the good work with GoG.com, the Witcher, and Cyberpunk!… Expand

Some Quests or NPC'S got stuck and i had to reload a Savegame. Some Interface and sound bugs or texture loading bugs... but i cant say that this has made an impact on my gaming experience at all.

Will update as soon as RTX3xxx gets more affordable (and available at all) and play the game again for sure. Graphics: with my dated hardware I definitely had to tweak the settings a bit to get good looking graphics with solid fps. But with dynamic resolution scaling and disabling unwanted post processing effects I manage to run mid to high quality settings on WQHD at about 50fps. And although it does not look as good as gameplay videos with high end hardware, it still looks awesome to me. Will upgrade my GPU asap. Technical/bugs: bugs definitely are present and while harming the immersion I did neither experience game breaking bugs nor any crashes. Mileage seems to vary a lot between players but for me everything is fine overall. I did not experience a single crash in over 20h of playtime and no bug was persistent after reloading the last checkpoint, which luckily wlos created automatically after every important step. Game Design: overall the different mechanics play together really well. Different skills can be used to personalize the experience, decisions are given to the player both during dialogs - and but even more important through the play style. More than often while playing you don't even notice that right now you are taking a certain decision because the game is not pushing your face in it. But still, many quests can be solved in different ways. Quest design itself is phenomenal, there are many opportunities and activities without the feeling of repetitiveness or grind. What I still don't get however is the crafting system. You have to invest a lot into crafting, both skill and item wise, while you get a better item dropped after the next quests anyway. And if crafting is part of the game I would like to at least be able to "combine" two items to apply the stats of one to the look/appearance of another. World: the world design is awesome. I totally immerse in this dark, intriguing, criminal, neon city. While most parts of the huge city are more scenery than usable open world the game excells at delivering a feeling of the sheer size of this megacity while the player is still able to identify important and iconic parts of the city and strolling through jig jig street without forgetting in which district you are right now. It should be clear that in a city of this size you can not enter every floor of every mega building, which in itself are own little cities so to say. While this would require a lot of work for the level design alone, it would also not add to the gameplay at all. In my opinion, it would even harm the gameplay as the player would most likely feel lost. For my liking the game found the perfect balance between size and recognition factor of individual locations. Story: this is what absolutely defines the game, its bread and butter. There are just no words to describe how awesome the main story is. The game design plays perfectly with the quests and the story itself is breathtaking and puts me in awe...

    Summary:
    I did explicitly not follow the hype, did not watch all the trailers, teasers and did not follow the articles of nearly all small and big pc games newspaper or website out there. Therefore, I did neither expect the "greatest game of the decade", nor a "better GTA" nor a "Witcher in the future". I I don't know what expectations some players and reviewers had for this game. And honestly, for sure at least some players will be disappointed, as the game is not the classical open world game of the last year's (c.f. Ubisoft), nor a GTA alternative, nor a shooter (RPG factors like level and item stats play too big a role). But for me as an RPG lover, and one who missed good single player story games in times of "service online games" polluted with micro transaction, this game is a real breath of fresh air. Despite its grim, dark, and polluted setting, where fresh air might be the last thing you will find. ;) The game offers an amazing story, solid gameplay and a variety of playstyles and choices in how to approach individual missions. There is always the possibility to take an alternative route to what the game suggests and it really makes sense to listen to the small annotations NPC give you.
    Playing as a hacker and don't like the boss fight the quests marker is clearly throwing you into? Well, just sneak around it! The game does not say you can do so, but it either does not mention that you can't! In the end the game silently gives you this freedom. Free your minds from the shackles that past games put on you and enyoj the possibilities! And last but not least, with one of the best stories I've witnessed in the last years, the game plays more like an interactive movie which gets me hooked, in a good way.

    Minus 1 point for the occasional bug and balancing issues with items and crafting, which feels a bit out of place.    … Expand

Night City feels like an actual place, and wandering the streets in first person feels very immersive at times. What's brining it down? Bugs. I'm lucky, on my copy, for what ever reason, I've only had a few minor bugs and visual glitches. Though my hardware is nowhere near top-end (RTX 1060 and 32gbs of RAM), I've gotten by ok. Your mileage may vary depending on your own setup.

    Perhaps most disappointing for me is the lack of good character customization system. The customization screen they give you is about as advanced as something from half a decade ago. Dragon Age, Fallout, hell even Dark Souls gives you more options out of the box for making your player character stand out. Not to mention bodytype editing which feels like it should've been a no-brainer. Fortunately (or unfortunately) most of the action takes place in first person. Also confusingly, they also leave out any option of going back in and editing your appearance. One can only hope this comes out with some free DLC, as has been the case with other RPGs making the same mistake

    Speaking of action, the combat is fairly decent. Guns feel impactful, but sometimes enemies at higher difficulties can feel a little bullet spongy. Solid RPG mechanics make a variety of builds and paths available and I can already see myself creating new characters down the line. I also found a decent amount of branching paths and options playing through the main quest and sidequests so far (~20 hrs in), certainly better than your average Bethesda game, but maybe not quite at the level people expected.

    There is a very solid RPG here, depending on your tolerance--and luck--when it comes to the bugs. HOWEVER it should be noted that that's as much as you get. There's nothing wildly new here, outside of some fun game mechanics and a pretty backdrop. Is it fun? Yes. Can it be engaging? very much so. But is it Next-gen? I'd say if this is the tip of the proverbial next-generation gaming iceburg, we're in good shape. It's just too bad they only gave us the tip.    … Expand

    It is apparent that they were very ambitious and delved into many many features/ideas but did not fully polish them all, but I would argue they were mostly done to a satisfactory standard.

    So many people complain about bugs such as T poses and unlootable items. Sure they exist, but it doesn't break the game, a little annoying sure. That's why I gave it a 9/10 instead of 10/10. If these small bugs are enough to take away everything else from you, then I can only say that you are deluding yourself if you expect a 100% bug free game.

    As for the people experiencing performance issues. If you are on a console, you should already understand your hardware is substandard to the current generation of PCs. If I was in your position, I would not be expecting much out of any prev-gen consoles (or even an old pre-made PC). This is not about the PC master race, it's just a matter of fact that you play a console, a mass marketed device that is focused on raking profits for the companies instead of being built to last. It is simply unreasonable to expect CDPR to cater for you in this case. If you are using a current gen console, my condolences to you, but you just need to be patient.

    Admittedly I do have a higher end rig, and I personally experienced very few performance issues outside of maybe 2-3 crashes throughout my entire playthrough. I firmly believe that CDPR is a victim of their own marketing teams success, and they may need to tone down their verbiage when detailing their games in the future. You simply can't make statements such as Cyberpunk is the most immersive open world game, and then not follow through. Cyberpunk does not reinvent the wheel with most of its content, but its a very solid open world rpg non the less.

    That being said, I really don't understand the need for a lot of the "immersive" features that other people are complaining about. I have seen posts comparing Cyberpunk's NPC daily routines to the daily routines that NPC's have in RDR2. Who cares? These types of features are nice to have, but they do not make a game fun. Not for me atleast.

    There is absolutely room for improvement. I don't think anyone can deny that CDPR didn't see their vision fulfilled. I would love to see combat AI improvements, more enemy variety in general, and a working police system.

    There is also room to be disappointed, but we're also seeing a lot of reviews being made in bad faith. Hating on Cyberpunk is the new cool thing to do on the internet (looking at your reddit). The user review for AC:V is currently higher than Cyberpunk, and that should tell you everything that you need to know about these types of polarized reviews.

    In NO way is this game worse than the run of the mil Assassin Creed games Ubisoft puts out every year. I own both games, and Cyberpunk is superior on every front... other than perhaps running on a 7 year old console. I've had way more bugs in almost every other open world rpg than I have in Cyberpunk.

    I hope CDPR makes more Cyberpunk games, and we end up looking back on Cyberpunk 1 like we now do with Witcher 1. Cyberpunk absolutely did not tarnish my view of CDPR, and I will continue to look forward to their games in the future.    … Expand

    Even still, I really really enjoyed this. The narrative and the lovable characters in Cyberpunk 2077 are so strong in my opinion, that they alone and the emotional rollercoaster you ride through in your journey in stunning Night City EASILY make Cyberpunk 2077, even in it's current sorry state, a delightful experience.

    Was is overhyped, you could say that but what game isn’t really. That being said I’ve not been disappointed at all. A lot of the complaints I’ve seen (outside of bugs) make me think these people haven’t actually played the game.

    I would say it’s more linear than the Witcher 3 but then again, I’ve played the Witcher 3 through about 7 times so I know the little differences which decisions can make, so when I play Cyberpunk 2077 again, I may notice more changes. That being said there are decisions which do have an impact (where I have saved and loaded to check), anyone who says different is to be blunt, lying.

    Gameplay is good, the skills etc reminds me of System Shock 2 in that each opens different options for missions and routes to take.

    Soundtrack is also amazing.

    The best part of it all for me however is the story, storytelling the characters. Its presented amazingly well and the voice acting is just perfect. I was worried about it having a only first person perspective but it’s done in such a good way I no longer care that it doesn’t have third person cutscenes.

    To sum up if someone tells you the game is bad and not because of the bugs just ignore them, they are full of crap. If someone tells you the game is bad because of the bugs you should listen.

    Ignore the low scores, this is far from a bad game as some people are calling it (it appears no one has ever played a really bad game, but what can you do against butt hurt)

    Bagged masterpiece

    Eight years since the first announcement, millions of dollars invested in PR, 3 delays and far-fetched player expectations - all this is Cyberpunk 2077. Let's outline right away - this is not an RPG. This is a shooter or immersive sim with RPG elements.

    Eight years since the first announcement, millions of dollars invested in PR, 3 delays and far-fetched player expectations - all this is Cyberpunk 2077.
    Let's outline right away - this is not an RPG. This is a shooter or immersive sim with RPG elements. To describe the game in a nutshell - this is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with cars or Mafia 2 plus the combat system from Destiny plus GREAT side quests. This game has the best side quests I've ever seen, some of which are better and more interesting than the main plot. Do what you want in the game, but do not miss the side quests. And now what the game is not. This is not GTA, the open world is not trying to entertain you. There are small scenes in the world, but they are conveyed mainly by dialogues, do not expect the NPCs to react in some funny way to your actions. Yes, they will scatter if you start shooting, but the drivers will not react in any way if you block the road or aim at them. GTA5 went to this 10 (counting Liberty City Stories, etc.) iterations. The guys from CD Project Red only had one try.
    The main advantage of this game is the plot, both main and side missions. Graphics - even on medium graphic settings and with my old GTX 970 the game looks magical, yes, 25-30 fps, but still magical. These are the minimum graphic settings I would never recommend. I saw opinions that the game is much more linear than promised. This is partly true. The game does not have any global different paths. Some missions can be completed in different order, but the main emphasis is on the variability of the passage within one mission. Somewhere you can go through the optional parts that can somehow be done when passing the main one, somewhere you can just go through either with a fight or by stealth. I periodically used both methods, although I only upgrade skills for shooting and hacking. Both options are quite viable. It is impossible to go through almost any mission at all by negotiations alone.
    Of the unequivocal minuses I would like to take ... they are not. Yes, there are bugs, but come on, I played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky on release. I started the game 5 (sic!) times, until the patch v1.5.5 was released, and the game was AT LEAST passable. And I still like it. I've seen the release version of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines work, but the game still has a ton of fans. And that was THEN, and now it's a matter of a couple of months to release a couple of patches on Steam or GOG. Yes, the world is not as lively as in GTA, but it is still more alive than in many other open world games. Yes, skills and perks are often of dubious utility, and that doesn't make the game better, but it doesn't make it worse either. Yes, the time to kill is extremely controversial, it is much more than in shooters, but not turn-based and not tactical, as in "pure" RPGs, but to shoot, though long, is pleasant, there is a pleasant impact and good destructibility and dismemberment. And there's a HUGE PINK ICONIC **** What else do you want?
    Cyberpunk 2077 is a game where not all ideas have gone right, but there are no frankly failed places. And the emotions that the plot give (both the main branches and side quests) and the atmosphere of cyberpunk deserve maximum appreciation. I give this game 9/10, just because Cyberpunk 2078 and HL3 will have to give some rating :)    … Expand

Eu tenho gostado de tudo que tenho visto no game, com muito loot (você nunca fica sem granadas e munições), bebendo da fonte de Borderlands nesse aspecto e Division, sempre haverá caixas e mais caixas pra você coletar e se encher de munição. Diálogos muuuuuuito bem elaborados e uma história bastante imersiva, tudo se desenrola muito naturalmente. Acho que o ponto fraco do game é o mundo em si (que tem sido um dos aspectos mais bem avaliados no geral). Vou na contramão aqui: os NPCs dão realmente a sensação de terem sido criados na década passada. Sim ainda estamos falando de um mundo aberto gigante e que algo além disso pode ser inimaginável, mas veja: os NPCs (digo esses genéricos que estão aí apenas pra preencher as ruas e dar volume) tem caras de games construídos na década passada, mas tudo bem... De maneira alguma vou deixar de aproveitar um game com combates extremamente fluídos e bem organizados, divertidos e frenéticos, por NPCs esquisitos. Se você gostou das referências ditas acima, vá em frente, o game é ótimo! Não se deixe enganar por críticas tendenciosas por bugs que serão consertados cedo ou tarde. Enjoy, my friend!!… Expand

And I am confident the few shortcomings of the PC version will be addressed soon enough. It's a stunningly good-looking game. With ray-tracing on it is simply the best-looking game I have ever played.

    The missions are a lot of fun to play. Hacking works well. Gunplay is awesome. Braindance is interesting and provides even more diversity to the gameplay. And I also love nitpicking about my equipment. Plenty of ways to upgrade and change things up and built your character just the way you want.

    So, for the few shortcomings I basically only have two:
    1. The streetwalking and car AI is very basic. While the world looks and feels alive, the illusion quickly breaks when you try to interact with anything in the world while just roaming about. Cars feel like they are riding along train tracks and can't go around simple obstacles. And streetwalking NPC's feel robotic at best. Walk into them and you'll get a "Look out!" and that's it.
    2. There are some annoying bugs right now. I haven't had anything game-breaking. But small stuff. For instance, you can set keys for both "crouch (hold)" and "crouch (toggle)". But they are bugged out if only one of them is set. So if you set "crouch (hold)" and not "crouch (toggle)" it will work when you set it. But when you restart the game that button will now be "crouch (hold)" instead, even though it looks right in the UI. Running is equally bugged. You'll stop running when you stumble into something. And if you jump while running and then release shift, it will keep running, even though you haven't set "run (toggle)".

    The first will take a long time to "fix". If CDPR even wants to fix it since it's not actually broken, it's just very rudimentary AI for the world simulation AI. And comparison videos with even ten year older GTA games makes CP2077 look very dated in that regard. A pity since the rest of the game is great!

    Bottom line: CP2077 is already a great game. But they should have postponed it to summer 2021 and made an effort to breath more life into the otherwise stunningly beautiful and detailed city. And, of course, they shouldn't have released the last-gen version at all at this point. That was a major misstep that will forever taint CDPR unfortunately.

    Luckily I have a beefy PC that can easily run the game. And the potential for a masterpiece is there. But it needs a bit more work for those last details for it all to come together perfectly.    … Expand

    Cyberpunk is basically what i expected.
    Lets start with the good thing.
    The core of the game the story is well crafted for almost every part of the game even the side quest. Every side quest has always some form of story attached and this is whats makes the game interesting. I really like the stealth mechanics and most game mechanics really well. It is clearly a 9/10 game in general.    Cyberpunk is basically what i expected.

    I really like the stealth mechanics and most game mechanics really well. It is clearly a 9/10 game in general.

    Now to address some of the bad stuff.
    Bugs : there are bugs but nothing more then expected. Both my PC and Xbox play the game fine. Most common issues are more minor visual thinks like thinks can float and a very few times items can detach from an animation ( but thats mostly rare) All in all on both platforms i had far less issues then what The witcher 3 had on release. I actually think that most people complaining about bugs are totally over reacting and not really equaly fair to the game in anyway when i see what they complain about. Everyone i know has basically same minor issues like me and nothing major. other games like Horizon zero dawn, Death stranding Watch dogs legions etc where way more broken in every single way on release then Cyberpunk so i dont understand what people even complain so much about.

    Now there are some legit complains though from me . The life path choices at the start give a very short introduction only that will confuse people. There are also allot of systems and Menu items / finding stuff and how it works is hard and take a whole playthrough before you even understand how most systems in the game work. This leads you to mess up stuff or miss stuff and not understanding allot of stuff. On top of that starting life path are way to short.. You get kicked right into some action and the are right away almost at the junction point where all life path meet in the start. This is really disapointing for me.

    Same with the endings a bit .. They are really different but the core ending basically feels still the same. The game also is not able because its rushing the story it seems to attach me to the characters as well as witcher 3 did where i still today cry at some points... I never did feel the same attachements to the Cyberpunk characters . The story is good and well done but i just cant get that attached because its a bit to much rushed after people complaining that witcher 3 was to long.

    The game has bigger issues like police reactions are done really bad and need rework but all in all the core game is still a very good game. With all the bugs i would give it a 8/10 but since they soon for sure get fixed i give the game a 9/10 because all in all even with its issues and complains it is still a very good game that has big replay value and is clearly worth my time and money    … Expand

Then, just like that, CDPR released Hot Fix 1.04 and the game started working! I’m playing it on a 2015 PlayStation 4 (NOT a pro). At launch, like everyone else, I was disappointed and hugely bummed out. Thankfully, a day and a half later and I hit Night City running. I’ve been led astray by most of the side missions and have only just started to delve into the main story. My distraction-following was twenty hours all by itself and there’s still a ton more to do.

    The city is wonderfully constructed, offering the densest open world I’ve ever seen. Nothing looks the same and every alley and every building has something hidden away. I FEEL a part of this metropolis, which breathes and swells at different times of day. Visually, I just stop and stare at the world and I rarely use fast travel.

    As optimization gets better and more patches are released, I have no doubt that this game will become exactly what we all wanted. Throwing a ton of nods to science fictions best media, you’ll find yourself in a massive open world, exploring hundreds of story options and ways to tackle the hundreds of missions available. It’s an open world Deus Ex on a grand scale. Something I’d like to see fixed first; the menus.

    Add a freaking preview to clothes, please. And make switching items out faster. Make it easier to group tag items for selling. It’s so inefficient it’s ridiculous.

    Other than that, I’m enjoying the experience immensely. But then, I’m not the toxic entitlement plaguing the gaming industry with expectation over anticipation. Keep it up CDPR. By the time I get my free copy of the PS5 version, I can’t imagine how incredible this game will look, and how much fun my second play though will be. - RöR    … Expand

    Amazing the main story line and the side quests. Never a dull moment it takes you from action to action. and the characters are really deep and they have meaning.

    Combat:
    in my play through i have chosen for a sniper/netrunner build. shooting sniping is really powerfull after a few levels. you will find/loot so many guns. you can upgrade your own gun.
    the combat can be really challenging. but the choise is yours how you want to go at it.

    I would say its biggest failing is that wasn't as polished as a Rockstar game. But it still is far more stable and less glitchy than any of Bethesda's open world endeavors.

    Do set your expectations correctly. While this is an open RPG to some extent, you are forced through the story, particularly in the beginning. You can only play in first person, except while you drive. Which is probably a good thing, since most of the time what you are wearing looks ridiculous. Early on you are swamped with missions, none are time critical, but pacing could use some work. It feels like everything happens in one day. The citizens are just window dressing, more similar to GTA than Fallout or Skyrim. The way the game engine handles stuff out of your vision feels more like GTA 3 than GTA V. You will have some glitches, but saves are fast along with loading.

    Now for the good.
    The story and its integration with the side quests is excellent. The ways in which you can build your character really lends itself to a second or third play through, aided by being able to play as male or female, and different dialog choices.

    An example of the diversity of character creation, my current character primarily uses hand-to-hand combat, and doesn't have the ability to hack. Even limited as such, the game plays great. I love literally jumping into combat, sprinting from enemy to enemy and a clobber them with my cybernetic enhanced arms.

    While not perfect, this is the most fun I've had in a game in a long time. If you like FPS Action RPGs, the cyber punk setting, and have a high-end computer I definitely recommend this. If your computer is a bit weaker or you play on console, you may want to wait a bit, hopefully some optimizing will come, making it more playable.    … Expand

    Overview: Cyberpunk is the best-looking and most emotionally impactful game in history at time of release. Unfortunately, a myriad of bugs, missing features, and clearly rushed mechanics prevent it from being what it could have been: A top five game ever.

    Gameplay:

    Cyberpunk plays like the standard open world shooter RPG in the vein of borderlands. Its smooth, chaotic, and fun, offering interesting gunplay and hacking option. While the combat is solid and fun it offers nothing new and exciting, simply feeling like a better borderlands. Melee combat in particular feels like it could have been greatly improved.

    Driving is very enjoyable, but suffers from glitches and spotty handling. A little tightening up here would have done wonders. The driving AI is nonexistent and it really shows in things like racing. But, open world traversal on a motorcycle is undeniably way more fun than it should be.

    Gamplay outside of combat will feel very familiar as it plays much like the Witcher. You talk to people, go place, kill people, and do some light investigating. The real beauty of the game is the sheer wealth of dialogue options that completely shape the course of outcome. Cyberpunk takes this further than any other open world game has.

    Story and missions: Cyberpunk's story is the place it really shines. The main questline is exhilarating, well-paced, and seamlessly intertwined with engaging side missions. It tugs on emotions, and the voice acting is superb (mostly). Cyberpunk easily stands up next to the better story-driven games in history such as The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Heavy Rain, and Mass Effect. This is where the game excels. The main quest and a solid nucleus of about half a dozen critical side missions provide the core to the game, each with engaging characters and branching paths that affect not only the quest itself but the end game. The only negative here is that while there are a huge amount of "gig" style quests (think fetch quests and other generic things) and a decent number of core side quests with considerable impact to the story, there isn't much in between. You can tell just by looking at a quest if its important or not, and it doesn't feel organic. Most quests are initiated by phone calls, rather than discovering them naturally. There was barely a handful of quests that began and played out naturally while exploring, and almost all of these occurred in the first act of the game.

    Graphics: Obviously, this depends on your hardware. I'm running two generation old specs (1080ti) and it runs flawlessly. On medium settings at 1440p the world looks amazing, making it easily on the most beautiful games. Charecter models look natural, especially in key scenes. And this is without high end graphic features like Ray Tracing.

    Glitches and Bugs: On PC these are greatly exaggerated. I have experienced a myriad of minor bugs (items clipping, weird physics, voice overs not playing but the quest progressing, etc), but only two bugs caused me to reload a save or restart the game, and both of those occurred day or release. CD ProjectRed's history suggests that these glitches will be addressed completely within weeks at most.

    Other notes: Much of the reasons for disappointment is what Cyberpunk didn't do. It didn't push the envelope on a vibrant world that felt alive. It didn't blow my mind with custom features. It didn't redefine open world games. What it did, it did well, but it left opportunities. For example, simple things like the ability to change your hair or tattoos don't exist.

    Rating and rationale: Despite the myriad of letdowns in this game, when you look past the hype, it is a genre-defining (though not revolutionary) open-world game. With a top-notch story, beautiful world, and vibrant character that form emotional connections, this game pulls all the right levers.

    My gut rating would be an 8.5/10. But when comparing this to other open-world games such as the Borderlands series, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, and Fallout, Cyberpunk has a slight edge over all of them even in its unfinished state. It has more heart, more replayability, and a much better story. For this reason, I give Cyberpunk 2077 a 9/10 at launch with the opportunity to improve if issues like poor driving AI and lack of appearance editing options are added in future patches and DLC.    … Expand

RTX on drops me to 40 fps. All in all, on PC, which is what this section of Metacritic is for, I don’t think it’s as bad as some people want to make you believe. Then again, I might be one of the lucky ones, so your milage may vary. I can't talk about the consol versions, they really to look horrible, so maybe avoid those....    … Expand

Because I think a lot of people were expecting GTA with its stupid minigames all over the place and fleshed out wanted system and whatnot. it's obvious CDPR never set out to make that, they wanted to make a straight forward FPSRPG with a story like deus ex human revolution. That game had an open world too, but without all the boring GTA minigames or wanted system.

    So in closing: If you liked Deus Ex Human revolution and want a game like that, except with an even greater story, play this game. If you like Witcher 3 and its dialogue heavy story, play this game. If you want GTAV2 and want to mindlessly drive around shooting people and playing in a sandbox, don't.    … Expand

    The elephant in the room… the rush job that is cyberpunk 2077, its clear this game should’ve been delayed to this year 2021, theres still at least one more giant patch coming next month, but even with the latest massive patch, cyberpunk 2077 is still littered with bugs on the ps5, 7 crashes throughout my playthrough, I really don’t need to explain why game crashes are unacceptable, but theyre especially unnacceptab;e in a game with such an awful checkpoint and saving system, the game refuses to save afer you’ve enetered combat until the mission is basically over, so dying halfway through a gun battle, pulls you all the way back, a lot of the times pre mission start, not even before you engaged in combat, forcing constant manual saves, just because you know how awful the saving is and if you die again you don’t want to reskip through the minutes of dialog you already heard, and worse is you lose any cool weapons you pick up, which obviously sucks in a division like game where random loot is being dropped by enemies… but I also ran into a glitch where my health would be displayed, where a call wouldn’t come through that lead to a dead end stopping me from continuing the final mission and reloading an older save and redoing basically just 10 minutes of unskippable dialog, bugs where subtitles would be stuck on my screen long after the conversation was over, and the thing is… I had subtitles turned off… also the controls for the brain dance were stuck on my screen from an unknown mission all the way until I rolled credits, it wouldn’t go away even after game crashes and fresh loads into the game…
    Cyberpunk 2077 is a mess, but a mess that once is cleaned up, is a really great game filled with over 100 hours of story, though this really is a game for those more into story and not those looking for a futuristic GTA, the world itself isn’t much fun to explore, you cant keep the cars you steal and the weapons are pretty basic. But the world is cool to exist in, even if youre not into all of the hacking and its only 20 hours like me.

    *A Flawed Gem That Deserves More Dev Time*

    I wrote a much longer review than can be put here with the character limit, I guess. Just finished my first playthrough clocking in at well over 100 hours. TLDR: -Played on a decent rig, didn't have game-breaking bugs, enjoyed the gameplay for the most part -Side Missions and open world feel quite shallow, more often than not -Beautiful    *A Flawed Gem That Deserves More Dev Time*

    I wrote a much longer review than can be put here with the character limit, I guess. Just finished my first playthrough clocking in at well over 100 hours.

    TLDR:

    -Played on a decent rig, didn't have game-breaking bugs, enjoyed the gameplay for the most part
    -Side Missions and open world feel quite shallow, more often than not
    -Beautiful core story that will stick with me

    Abridged:

    Cyberpunk 2077 has been a truly bittersweet experience. Released too soon, but never soon enough. Weighted down by bad management decisions and by insanely high expectations from gamers, initially when I loaded it I was in awe, taking in the scenery around me, the sheer scale of the city, the beautiful crafting of the main story missions. It was when the open world part of the open world really got exposed that I saw how empty it really was. The AI around me, the lack of meaningful small interactions (in a way that, for instance Red Dead Redemption 2 handled brilliantly) and side activities... the essence of most side missions boiling down to "go to place, kill bad guys..."

    I'm still glad I played it. That mixture of awe and disappointment, as with most things in life, is just gonna be part of the experience.

    I recommend this game to anyone who loves the genre, and anyone who loves good storytelling. If you're hoping for the next big revolutionary step forward in gaming, however, you will be disappointed.

    I sincerely hope this game sticks around, and never fades away, and that, like Witcher 3 and No Man's Sky, the more time passes, the more it becomes that thing that everyone praises. I hope that it can be saved from the poor management decisions that ultimately led to disappointment... much like the choices my V made in the end. I'd like to think that she, and CDPR, deserve one last chance to correct their course.    … Expand

Did (to my knowledge) most of the interesting side quests too.

    The good:
    - Story: most immersive story in a game to date. Yes it is fairly linear but the same goes for all similar games. Diversity always comes at the cost of immersion.
    - Graphics: it looks amazing. Sure, it could have still been better in certain aspects but for the type of game it is, it does not have a lot of competition
    - Music: For me personally the one area where it actually has no competition. I do realise it caters towards my preferences while most games do not but at the same time there's a lot of music in there that is definitely not for me so I'm sure it pleases a wide crowd. In the 70 hours I never got bored of the music which is the first time that happens in a game.
    - FPS: It's essentially a good FPS game and I often resorted to shooting as the best solution

    Questionable:
    - The skill tree: It's generally not useful/necessary enough to get into it. Sure in a second play through I'd go specifically for those things that have some use but you can finish the game leaving a lot of points uninvested.
    - Stealth/Hacking: It has its uses but it's often rather tedious and after a few failures it's often clear you might as well just walk in with the intent and the tactic to kill everyone even in situations where you're supposed to be stealthy
    - Lack of true next-gen Open World: there's nothing really ground breaking about the Open World implementation

    The Bad:
    - Glitches: while there are no major game-breaking bugs, there are plenty of story-breaking glitches. People showing up in places they are not supposed to be, walking through objects, inconsistent conversations. Overall they are easy enough to overlook but it's obvious that most of these are easy to fix. Unfortunately makes it still feel like a bit of a rushed job.
    - Open World NPC AI: We're 2020, it really takes minimal effort get open world AI to be better than what it is
    - Mini games (racing, boxing): they bothered to weave some into the story but actually didn't bother to add them as a pass time for the open world (plus add some more)

    One thing that I see pop up a lot and I don't know why is Driving and more specifically handling. Personally I don't get the complaints. It's actually fairly straightforward and easy to get to grips with how vehicles handle. Especially motorbikes. I have hardly used fast travel as a result and just drove around all the time while enjoying the music.    … Expand

Is it buggy? Sure. Is it perfect? Hell no. Is it fun. Jesus Christ, is it ever! There's been a lot of controversy surrounding Cyberpunk's release, how it's buggy and broken, and how it sucks. Those opinions come from people who either, a) were reviewers who played an older, unpatched version, or b) people who don't even play this game but still think they have the right to criticise. Both are wrong.

    I'm writing this while having Cyberpunk paused on the second screen. I'm about 10 hours in and the story is starting to really take off. It's incredible. Night City is massive, colourful, full of violence, sex and any crime under the sun. Corporations run the world and human life is worth less than nothing. It's nasty dirty place, full of nasty dirty people - and it's glorious in its nastiness and dirt.

    The sound and graphics are absolutely top notch. CDPR did an unbelievable job optimizing the hell out of this game. My ancient GTX 970 can somehow run this baby on medium settings at rock-solid 60fps - and on mere medium it looks already amazing. Anyone who can run this on ultra would probably have their mind blown. I have no idea what kind of black magic CDPR used to make this possible, but I'm eternally grateful. If you have an older rig, don't be afraid. This game is so old-rig-friendly you'll make it run on pretty much anything.

    There IS a number of graphical glitches that would be right at home in any Bethesda open world game, but nothing game-breaking. I had the game sort of break exactly once in the past 10 hours: the visuals froze in a flashback sequence but I was still able to move around, except being unable to see what the hell I was doing. It also happened as Cyberpunk was downloading a patch in the background so possibly it's not even the game's fault, but rather my own since I couldn't wait to play.

    Pros:
    + stunning visual representation
    + engrossing world
    + obsessive attention to detail
    + great voice acting and sound design
    + smooth gameplay
    + superb optimization on older machines
    + intriguing story

    Cons:
    - minor visual glitches

    How to best describe this game? It's Skyrim/Bethesda Fallout on steroids, mixed with some Watch Dogs and GTA, and a hint of the Batman Arkham series for the braindance mechanic. It's everything I've wanted and more. It's not the polished experience we've come to expect from CDPR, but it's also incredibly big and ambitious. At this scale, a bug-free game is an impossibility.

    I'm having an absolute blast despite an occasional spazzing NPC. It's a flawed game, but one that had tonnes of love and effort put into it. If you like massive, open worlds you can get lost in for weeks, get Cyberpunk. The hacking is fun. The combat is smooth. It looks and sounds great, and it's fun. Not much else you can ask for from a piece of electronic entertainment. No, it's not groundbreaking. It's not innovative. But what it does, it does very well.

    The game itself is a must for anyone who loves science fiction and cyberpunk, the decisions in the game affect the story and make the game more interesting and varied.
    The city is huge! Full of activities and side missions outside of the story and that in itself is worth it all.
    The gameplay is excellent, there is an option to sneak in and hack, there is a huge selection of weapons and upgrade options. The conversations with the NPC are really high level and interesting, the character of Jackie Welles is funny and fun to go out on missions with.
    In short dear gamers, do not give up on this amazing game!

    The community feedback is legitimate; the game is riddled with visual glitches, poor performance and optimization. It's very clear that somewhere down the line mismanagement happened to cause this game to not be as good as it could be.
    The policing system is broken, cops spawn right behind you no matter where you are and no matter how large or small the offence.

    The policing system is broken, cops spawn right behind you no matter where you are and no matter how large or small the offence.
    Loot needs an overhaul, every shotgun feels the same, every revolver, pistol, etc. Legendary and epic weapons don't feel stronger or better than their counterparts, and you'll replace them in 2-10 minutes for a better one. Armor wise it's no different, you cycle through gear as if the whole game is a fitting room, and nothing ends up matching as a result. There's no option to hide your headpiece so you either take a hit to your armor score, or look like an idiot wearing a biker/samurai helmet everywhere you go.
    Perks can be redestributed in exchange for an exuberant amount of money, stats cannot.

    All that being said, I can't put the game down. I love it. It's story, graphics, gunplay, exploration and voice acting outshine the flaws in a major way, and I love every minute of it that I'm playing. It's not the kind of "it's terrible but I can't put it down" like Destiny or WoW is, but rather an insanely good game with some glaring issues.

    _IF_ you have a rig that can handle the game properly (think 4-8 core processor and at least a 2060 rtx card), I can still reccomend it in it's current state. If you don't meet those requirements, or want to play it on Xbone or PS4, I suggest waiting for performance patches.    … Expand

    Beautiful city to explore but CP2077 has the same flaws of other open world games, in the end is not a simulation game of a cyberpunk city, is a hard guided story game.

    Some minor bugs like floating objects (for example if a character is speaking with a mobile phone, the phone get floating the air).

    Buggy but great. I spent 60 hour playing this game and still not even close to the end.

    Yes there are some bugs but the amount are Far Far less than Most EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda and a few others.. Hell EA and Bethesda Release games that arn't even Finished and they crash and burn.

    This game is Fully complete But I feel they were Pushed to release it by the Hype and Corpo greed..
    I think they needed a couple more months to get it Near perfect..

    It was a given that the Older Consoles would suffer the most and Sony and it's Greed are now running away.. That pile of **** TLOU 2 is a joke and so below This game. When the Patches are done this will be even better than it is now.. Now it is breath taking and so deep and fun.. You really do get immersed in it.
    Of The Game itself I do have a couple of Issues..
    What Does break immersion is:
    1: The Romances are excellent, the characters are so deep, that is true of all the main characters. But the Love interests Very much. But once the romance story is complete they become Like normal NPC's.. They really need to fix this and soon..
    2: You get a place at the Nomads camp.. i have not found a way in yet. Judy gives you her keys But you cant use the place like your own Even though she says you can. This needs fixing,, I would move in with her or Panam (Judy is Lesbian and Panam is (Hetro) but so far you can only use your own place.
    3: Cars.. I know some can do 1st person driving Fine,, the rest 3rd person (I am 3rd person) But still they blow up to easy.

    Even with all this,, If you Play games by those mentioned, you would say that This game was Complete and working fine.

    Those who rate this Low are just stupid and probably haters.. There is no way on Gods green earth that this is below a 7 on anything other than a low level xbox 1 and ps 4.
    So many have completed the game,, and I mean Sooo many And Sooo many love it..

    All the 0 and 1's are Bots and Haters and should be cleared as it clearly is not a game to be rated
    so low..

    So,, back Into Night City Chooms

    This game doesn't deserve the hate bandwagon.

    It's great open world game with very unique different missions. Sure there are some glitchy mechanics and they'll be adding polish to make sure those happen less over time but the core experience is there for everyone to enjoy. If you rate this game anywhere below 7, all your opinions should be disqualified forever. I've seen accounts    This game doesn't deserve the hate bandwagon.

    If you rate this game anywhere below 7, all your opinions should be disqualified forever. I've seen accounts with 0 reviews (paid accounts working for competition?) downvoting this game with 0/10 reviews.

    Everyone already knows the game is buggy. But you know what? So is Red Dead Redemption 2, so is GTA 5, so is EVERY SINGLE OPEN WORLD GAME out there, Witcher 3 included.

    The level of anger the gaming community shows to the one of the most charitable company is simply just stunning. Shows exactly the level of group think, mob mentality and ability to be persuaded to believe anything. In couple of years everyone will be asking themselves "why was I hating this game so much" after watching the ACTUAL GAMEPLAY footage of the game, rather than these very nitpicky glitch compilations.

    NEWSFLASH: Glitch compilations ARE NOT representative of what the game actually is 99.9% of the time.

    Sure I get some stupid bugs maybe once a day, my car flips or a character starts walking after being incapacitated, yeah it's annoying, but it happens so rarely (and I've been playing the game since launch) I just don't get what the point of all the hate is.

    You guys ever played Skyrim? The game is NOTORIOUS for it's buggy-ness, and yet EVERYONE was rating that game 10/10 experience, must play.

    Why can't there be option to actually remove accounts with only one 0 star review from the scoring system? I did some math and it would actually boost the average user score above 8.    … 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.
