    Great story in my opinion. There is some depth to the characters i never saw in a game before.
    I saw some one bug in my about 80 hours of game time. A goon was stuck in wall after killing him.

It's buggy, and the performance isn't the best but those are things that can be fixed (hopefully,) now this being said I don't LOVE the game I find the melee combat to be tedious at best, the stealth isn't fully implemented the side quests from what I have seen so far are few and far between at least the ones with actual story. I enjoy the 'side gigs' but I would have preferred less side gigs and more story driven side quests. The main story is compelling and interesting so far. Overall this game is good, for people to give it a **** 1-3 is a completely idiotic, everyone is just angry because CD Projekt Red didn't **** save the universe and reverse global warming. Also, why is metacritic one of the worst places to look at users reviews? I think it's because unlike Steam you don't see how long someone has played a game, they just toss a review and they could've played an hour at best. Anyway, it's a decent game not perfect but definitely a fun excursion. Expand

Already a modding community (if limited until they release the tools). Free DLC coming. Expansions coming. Yes it was over hyped, but it still sets new standards in scope and detail I only wish I would see in other triple A games now a days. Reminds me of early Bioware. I feel for the last gen console players, but I wish more triple A games were this good on release and had this much promise. Metro Exodus comes to mind with the attention to detail and had a better release, but it is a small fraction of the size of CP 2077. Between free DLC, paid expansions, multiplayer, and modding, I have every hope that a lot of what was cut or promised will eventually be added to the game. Expand

    Revised:

    There are a lot of new accounts rating this game. Which should be handled by a time-gate on new accounts reviewing products. But on to my review. I’m running through the streets with a katana. I can’t hack people at the moment, the civilians. I’m not sure that I can. Story reminds me of other games I’ve played. The graphics are on par with other titles. There are extras

    There are a lot of new accounts rating this game. Which should be handled by a time-gate on new accounts reviewing products. But on to my review. I’m running through the streets with a katana. I can’t hack people at the moment, the civilians. I’m not sure that I can. Story reminds me of other games I’ve played. The graphics are on par with other titles. There are extras here and there.

    We’ll start with the graphics which are maxed on my machine. I’m seeing around 30FPS. My cyberdeck is old. I’m running an Nvidia 1060. I’m going to assume the issues ppl have are drivers, newer graphics cards, consoles, or confusion. But there is the configuration file issue. Google it.
    Graphics and System ram are vastly under-represented in the file. I only got about 5 extra frames a second from changing values. One thing that isn’t good is the fact that you can’t use 3rd person point of view.

    Story is entertaining and there are a lot of side quests. I don’t think you can go off script during a mission because there are doors that block you. But that’s the majority of games. There are usually only two ways to handle a situation. Brute force or paragon. Like many games before it, if you have the skill you can get more experience out of the mission with skill checks.

    Extras like TV in game are limited. Been nice if they would have linked to Youtube or something like letting you browse the net in game. There is a GTA style intranet. Driving is fun and the cars have fully detailed interiors. There are some scripted driving sequences.

    Guns are fun and you can practice the 2nd amendment. Weird coming from a Polish company. Think Call of Duty like everyone else has said. Lots of mods. The cyber stuff reminds me of System Shock 2 or E.Y.E Cybermancy. You also have lots of mods. You get bullet time while hacking stuff.

    If you like games such as Watchdogs and E.Y.E Cybermancy you’ll probably like this eventually when they get all the other parts in. It’s a no-mans-sky base game at the moment. They should post a roadmap because like many have said, it’s not a finished product. It’s no 10 but it’s no 0.

    Its really massive, lots of opportunities for combat and enjoyed the combat system, the stories are also rather interesting, lots of ways to kill and solve quests. Easily put in 90 hours doing side and main missions, wished the main story was longer and a little more impact in the world when completing major missions or side gigs. Time flew by when playing and a few sleep deprived days ensued with 'its what time?!?!?!' when taking a break.

    Perhaps expectations and early bugs held the game back from higher reviews. The game was on the cusp of greatness, Skyrim or RR2 scale and could have maybe been the best game ever. Just falls short of that.

    It was very enjoyable.

    100% recommend to buy on sale.

The city it gorgeous, the characters are truly interesting, there is even actually attractive females in the game. Which the modern day puritons that run this industry must hate..

    The gunplay is questionable but not very bad. It's definitely not a chore but if you're looking for an amazing time shooting guns, don't think you'll find that here. The AI, on the other hand is kinda abysmal. Half the time they know your place by heart and the other half the time they're frozen in time, looking at a wall trying to figure out whether they've turned off the stove in the morning or not for about 15 seconds.

    The performance is quite bad and the visuals have nothing to justify for it. I know it's a next gen game but the textures etc are not as clean as some older games out there. The effects, the same.

    I was expecting performance problems and bugs so when I paid the amount I did, I did it while expecting these. As long as I didn't have many crashes, a decent story with good characters, great world building and good combat, I'd be down with anything. Aside from combat and the AI, I think I got what I expected.

    TL&DR: Game got problems, certainly not as bad as other people make it out to be. If you're gaming for more than 10 years and you're still extremely hyped up about games without expecting any trouble on launch, then you will always feel disappointed.

    Not perfect but not nearly as bad as many are claiming. Game runs smooth and looks great. Combat system is solid, the driving system does suck on muse and keyboard.

    Might not quite live up to the hype but then again most games don't. A worth game if you enjoy open world and the Cyberpunk genre.

But, except for the bugs, I am impressed by the graphics and detail of the game. I would wish that a lot more energy went into telling a compelling story, because this is like being forced to watch Johnny Mnemonic again, slowly. It sucks! I want to be free and explore this beautifully done universe on my own terms, not having a second rate narrative crammed down my throat.

    2600X, 16 GB RAM and 1060 6 GB. Something between medium and higher graphics settings. I unlocked all 6 cores for the game to use, so I'm now somewhere at 44 fps on average.

    If the game continues to at the same way, then will be 10/10. But due to the technical condition, I would not give this yet. And some "funny" comments on how you can't play it. It occurs to me that a pirate scene without a 1.04 patch doesn't give it ...

My game only crashed 3 times in my 102 hrs of playthrough. My problem is with main quest. They are beautifully designed, unique and engaging but its short. The gaem can be completed in 15 hrs. The best part lies in the side quests. They are indistinguishable from main quests and can change the outcome of your ending. The main story is somewhat depressing and though provoking. It asks the meaning of life, death, afterlife, immortality. Besides all the issues i had a great time in night city. Hopefully cdpr will fix the bugs so that i can start a new game with a different life path. Expand

    The world, direction, characters, quests and gunplay are on point! Tech behind the game is huge and I’ve never seen such large stack of technologies used previously.

    Single completionist playthrough 124.2 hours. I think the low reviews are pretty unfair for what is a large and atomspheric world with some excellent story telling.

    Pros:
    Played on a high end PC the world looks amazing. Just driving around night city or sitting in a car ride is amazing. I didn't skip any car rides the whole game.
    The story writing and characters are strong. After over a hundred hours invested I felt pretty moved by the ending.
    Sound track is really excellent. Refused did a great job as Samurai in particular.

    Cons:
    Graphical glitches are annoying. All my video calls had half the person missing. Johnny's flickering shroud often didn't cover all of him. Randomly stand up with arms streched out while riding motobike. Floating gun in jackies head in a moving scene.
    Mechanics bugs. Some things just don't work properly eg thrown knives are single use. Component crafting is nearly useless without disabling craftting times. Mechanical enemies drop components that you can't pick up.
    Some sections are rail roaded and force you into combat no matter how stealthy a netrunner you are.

    Overall, I really liked it and would say its the best game I played in 2020. I think if CDPR had stopped releasing unrealistic release dates and done better QA this would have been game of the year in 2021 but as it is its still a stong game. 8/10.

    Coming into the game pretty late here. We all know what went on with this game and their is no reason to beat a dead horse. Overhyped and completely unfinished upon release. However, I personally just picked this up on a sale at GOG and have been having a pretty good time with the game on the pc.

    I'm gonna say thing, if you don't have at least a basic rtx card or radeon equivalent, don't bother. The game looks terrible without ray tracing. I turned it off to up my FPS and just couldn't take it. My eyes were not taking it well at all. I ended up turning ray tracing on and put a bunch of other settings to medium and low to get into the 60 fps range on my gaming laptop, 2070 RTX maxQ with 32 GB Ram. This game is a hoss now, so I can only imagine how it was launch, lol.

    That aside, this game does some things extremely well. Great immersion factor and the environments are constructed with an immense attention to detail. There is plenty to do, from the lowliest side missions that pop up randomly to the full blown main missions and main side missions. The map is littered with icons ala Ubisoft games. It's both a blessing and a curse but is typical of open world games.

    Anyway, the games systems are a bit convoluted and it honestly you can just upgrade your melee fighting skills and annahilate any group of foes with a katana, but it's fun to play around with other methods. If someone asked me to describe this game in one sentence I would just say it's Deus EX Mankind Divided but on a much bigger scale. If you liked that game, you should pick up cyberpunk.

    Not perfect, but finally playable and worth a look. You can tell that the actual developers and not the corpo heads in charge of CDPR cared a lot for this project. There is a lot to love here, but ultimately does not reach the ridiculous mountain of hype this game got.

    I'm having fun playing it though and I'm about half way through the main story. Thumbs up.

    There is still a lot to be patched, but the game defends itself with a wonderfully presented world, graphics and tasks. The sound is also good, but it could be further worked on. It is not an ideal game, but I have a lot of fun with it. In the game you can find many references to cult movies, music, etc. It works fine for my older computer. i7 3770 gtx 1060.

    This review is for platforms that are currently playable (PC & next gen consoles). I played on a new PC with nvidia 3080 for GPU.

    Visuals: Gorgeous!. Night City and surrounding areas are a treat, with lighting and reflections that make most prior games look flat in comparison.If you can run this with ray-tracing (PC now, next gen consoles in 2021 update) then for graphics fans it may worth a purchase if only to take in the sights.

    Soundtrack is fun and (as expected) leans mostly towards electronica, dance, and/or noise/metal. It's a little too obviously current for my tastes, and I wish they had been a little more forward-thinking in their original music, but still well done if you're a fan of those styles.

    Atmosphere: At first I felt the vision of 2077 felt incredibly unoriginal and old-fashioned. But, once I learned it was based on the Cyberpunk RPG from the 90s then it made sense: they're being faithful to a vision of a cyberpunk future that now feels more quaint than edgy. As with the music, I wish they would have been more forward-thinking and come up with a modern take on the cyberpunk genre rather than going for highly accurate reproduction of an old vision. But, hey, they did a really good job of bringing that old vision to life.

    Gameplay: Bugs. Yes, many bugs. But on the platforms I'm reviewing they are manageable, albeit annoying. Text for dialogue that sticks on the screen until you reload, quest steps that don't trigger properly until you reload, getting stuck until you reload are all things that have happened to me on an occasional basis. Not enough to make me want to stop, but enough to annoy me. These will be fixed, and anyone not tolerant of jank in their games should wait about 3 months or so.

    Acting: So far I've only played male V, and the voice actor comes from the school of "If I growl my lines I'll sound edgy". It's mostly a one-note performance that occasionally has better moments. But, really V is there just to prompt the other characters to speak, and they carry the bulk of the stories' emotional weight and impact. Jackie, Judy, River, Panam, Mitch, Evelyn, and others are very engaging and I grew to appreciate and like them very much.

    Some people have expressed disappointment at Keanu Reeve's performance as Johnny Silverhand, but I've always found his acting style to be oddly stilted and emotionally flat so it's very much what I expected. So, not great, but yeah it's Keanu being Keanu and I was ok with it.

    Character advancement: a wide variety of attributes and perks that mesh together in interesting ways. Some of them sound uninspiring in their descriptions, and most of these are more incremental than radical in how they affect your gameplay, but those increments sure do add up and in the latter part of the game you will start to feel how much more capable your character is. I went with an intelligence/stealth/tech build with an emphasis on Quickhacks. I was quite the glass cannon but had lots of fun with the combat. (Inducing cyberpsychosis is great fun: just watch your enemies tear each other apart while you loot the goodies).

    Open world: The AI for pedestrians and cars is rock stupid, and there are many times you'll be soaking in the sights only to have jittery pedestrians or stalled traffic interfere with your immersion. I still enjoyed moving through the world, but I suspect things will be much smoother in a couple months.

    Romances/storyline/options: Most dialogue options feel fairly unimportant, just adding color to your V and allowing you to steer him/her to sounding vague, surly, or supportive. I've only experienced a couple of the endings so far, and what's clear is that doings lots of side jobs and gigs is important to having more options at the end. Don't rush the main story!! There aren't lots of cool little things to discover in the world, making it feel bland and repetitive after a while. Character story arcs can be emotional and moving, but there's nothing next-gen about the game design itself.

    Overall I'm having a great time w/Cyberpunk despite its limitations. I love open worlds, and anticipate playing at least a couple dozen hours more. If you go in with realistic expectations it can provide many hours of fun. It's no masterpiece, but there are more than a few fun, interesting stories to be told in Night City, and I'm glad I got it.

    Edit- Lowered my score and added a rant after initial 50+ hour review

    It's far too bug-ridden to be a 10, and even a 9 is generous in it's current state. Still any game that manage to get 50+ hours of playtime in it's first 3 days, without even going fully into the story, can't be described as anything but totally addictive. The bugs are all over the game.. but i don't really care

    The bugs are all over the game.. but i don't really care about them right now.
    Nor do I care about Keanu Reeves. I finally have a city to burn in my own pace and way.
    ..burn it Nomad.. burn it
    ________________________________
    Edit-> That were my impression after around 55 hours of playing mainly outside of the story mode.
    Now I'm past 80 hours and just gone past the few first story missions.. and the story gets in the way of the game and my way of having fun!?
    It feel like I'm at a really boring job when playing..
    The idiots just keeps calling and try to tell me that their mission is a lot more important than the other idiots that call, and even more important than my char being stuck with Keanu Reeves in my head, and sadly only slowly dying from it.

    It feels like the neon painted cardboard walls are about to fall down and only show me the flaws of the game the further I go. the game is not a 10, nor a 9.. it's somewhere between a 5 and a 9.. with the lowest parts being the city itself.. followed by the totally wasted NPC's.

    They sit in a car while I'm shooting their windscreen and around their heads.. they don't even blink. Dealing the final blow to their head and walking up to the next car in line.. it's just the same dead eyes. ..and then the cops show up. Outside the apartment i teared up everyone with my Mantisblades, the cops did a full 'Agent Smith' and spawned inside the person behind me. the ..TexMex ..special ninja cops came flashing by.. and I managed to kill them too and hid 5 meters away. The cops totally lost sight of me.. in a damn corridor outside my own apartment?!?!

    Seems like the Trauma Team have cloaking devices.. as when I turned around to loot the corpses, they were gone, but not the blood!?

    For a game like this to work out, it have to rely on suspension of disbelief.. when the entire house of cards falls down on you at once.. there is nothing left .. not a thing!
    The city is dead, and populated by dead people..and physics don't really apply.. if you start with that as a main setting, the game might be a full 10.. but start the story and suffer every bug there is and it's not possible to keep playing right now.
    The replay-ability is really really low, as even if going into the game with the intention to literally burn the city.. it don't really matter, you will never score the lesbian anyway!

    The game is so far from finished that the title could just as well be the release day

Честно, я пытался делать побочные задания по максимуму и как можно реже отвлекаться на сюжет, но он все равно закончился очень быстро.

    Большинство активностей в открытом мире - копипаста из третьего ведьмака, те же вопросики но под другим соусом. Есть интересные задания, но их очень мало.

    Из достоинств я хочу отметить интересную боевку, саундтрек, качество основной истории, те сайды которые проработаны - сделаны на совесть и вызывают сильный эмоциональный отклик.

    В заключение, этой игре нужно было еще времени на разработку, причем достаточно много. Ей не хватает деталей, проработки и много чего еще. Я, конечно, зачищу всю карту, но лично для меня киберпанк не смог сбросить с пьедестала третьего ведьмака, хотя имел на это все шансы.

I still ran into a few bugs but non of them gamebeaking and considering the state large scale open world games release in these days id say its pretty on par. Ive been told that the game is too short but thats far from my experience but i did spend a lot of time just exploring and enjoying the side missions. The story is pretty good if predictable and the combat is solid. I wouldnt say great but stealth is really where the game shines.
    All in all its just a good game. lot of fun to play and an very interesting world to explore and learn about. it has its haters but its a new major release thats genuinely unaccessable to a large portion of the audience. so of course its gonna have haters.
    deffinately worth the pick up if your an RPG fan with a strong rig.

Besides a few glitches like floating weapons, weird audio bugs and 2 instances of clipping through the map I have had a relatively smooth experience. Even with my entry level graphics card (RTX 2060 super) Cyberpunk looks incredible. Night City is beautiful with all of the neon lights, tall skyscrapers and back allies shrouded in darkness. The city really feels alive. Granted the people walking the streets could have been fleshed out a bit more. I come across quite a few really quiet streets despite hundreds of people walking around but this could be attributed to a bug, I'm not sure. Gunplay is good not great. There are quite a few different types of weapons. Blades, blunts, smart weapons, power weapons and tech weapons. Smart weapons are my favorite (the bullets are basically guided missiles. Power weapons are your somewhat basic kinetic weapons, and tech weapons are.............well I'm not really sure how to explain them. I know you can build up powerful shots by holding down the trigger and does almost double the damage of a single shot. Mission structure is pretty good albeit nowhere near as varying as The Witcher 3 was but there is still a TON to do and discover. All in all if you are a fan of RPG's or Projekt Red I think you will find a lot to enjoy here. That said I can only tell you my PC experience, perhaps if you own a ps4 or xbox one I would wait until the game is fixed well enough to at least have an enjoyable experience. Like everyone else I am super disappointed in CDPR management when it comes to how they handled the release but I will say I think the floor level devs did a fantastic job creating a world I love being in.

A bunch of people obsessed over this game without end- and they are disappointed. When you disappointed an obsessed person with unrealistic expectations- well you get reviews that say "CDPR has no talent".

    CDPR does have talent because objectively Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game. I mean it is something special. The world is fantastic, the story is amazing, the combat it deep and fun, and customization options are deep, and the characters are engaging. In terms of raw core mechanics, it stands as one of the greatest RPGs ever made. But on consoles, this thing is a mess- a serious mess. We all need to kinda accept a few things as reality.

    1. It will be patched soon. CDPR actually patched Witcher 3 a total of 23 times. Skyrim by comparison got 9 patches. I have no doubt the bugs and issues will be resolved by January.
    2. The game will never look better. That sucks I know but the reality is all that detail comes at a cost. The CPU of the PS4/Xbox One cannot handle this game. It was made to run on next-gen systems because the 7-year-old PS4 just can't do it no matter how hard you try. To make the game functional it has to look like it looks
    3. CDPR is not going to invest money and time into a dying console. They will make it functional and smooth but they are not spending 2 years dumping in millions to make a game look perfect on a console that won't be around in a year.

    Even on PS4 the game is good. If you are super visual- like you HAVE to have games that look and feel perfect then this game is not for you. If you can look past some jank and a fair appearance there is an insane amount of fun to be had here.

The thing is though although I really liked the story and the characters which were great the actual game play is only average with dumb enemies who just Bob their heads up out of cover every 5 seconds or so. It really does feel like a great interactive movie with basic open world gameplay and features albeit it looks brilliant. Almost everything else feels underdeveloped or missing entirely. Playing it I was always thinking about how cool it would have been if this was in it or you could do that instead of the rudimentary gameplay that's actually there. Even the quickhacking is lacking so if you play it that way as I did you'll just end up using Short Circuit and Overheat most of the time while using Cyberpsychosis on enemies for a laugh more than anything. The other hacks are mostly pointless. The driving is basic too although faster cars handle better. Where are all the other motorcyclists? Random events? Why can't cars self drive to locations other than Delamain?Why can't they fly? Why are trains nothing but fast travel? Why are the police a joke who just stand on street corners? Why isn't there more involvement with the gangs or even the police like actual quest lines ala Skyrim? The list is endless for what should and could be in it however I'm still giving it an 8 as I was swept along with the main story and the main side character stories like Johnny, Panam, River and Judy. That side of the game is a high standard as the missions are well constructed and rarely just a case of just go here and do that on your own but it's still supposed to be a game not a movie otherwise it could have been one of the best games of all time.

    This game also really isn't as fun if you're running a generalist build so I highly recommend you specialise. I've done playthroughs where I first focused on Intelligence and Cool/Crafting, but it's a much slower-paced game.

    If you are new I recommend taking the Body tree, followed by Cool and Reflexs as that gives you the Sandevstan and all the best Cyberware in the game. Focus on the Body Stat first followed by Reflexes and Cool, starting with 6 Body, 6 Cool, and 4 Reflex and getting Cool to 7 before focusing on Body and then catching up reflexs is great as it lets you take the perk 15% more damage to all humans.

    The story isn't bad and the endings especially managed to get my interest a fair bit.

I had really minor issues on my high end PC with everything on ultra settings, just annoying bugs, nothing game breaking. I am still finishing it to a 100% then will wait for the fixes & DLCs to enjoy further. It is definitely not a true RPG but more of a Watch Dogs meets Matrix action adventure open world vibe.

    The world feels really hollow, I just do every quest to fill the void, but they also tend to be repetetive... I want more BDs, mini games, more AR, VR stuff (like the training shard, have more such mini worlds), full on sexy time (stop using witcher3-like teasing scenes, put an option and let us see the real deal), more interaction with the world, interactable NPCs, more realistic traffic, less cluttered inventory, more useful skill tree... Jeez now after counting these I do start doubting my score...

    I cannot give it less than an 8, or might get flatlined by Neo-Silverhand-Wick.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wish I could give this game a 10. Sadly, I cant. Playing with the day 1 patch and updated drivers, the main concerns you are gonna have are visual bugs and terrible performance, enough to take away 2 points from the mark.

    The rest of the game is almost perfect. Of course you can make subjective claims about what you consider good or bad AI and what you value the most about an open world game. The game is open world but heavily relies on scripted dialogue and story missions to be fun. The combat is decent, the driving is actually kinda bad but the rest of aspects that I didnt metion like sound quality, hud, game economy and pace, story, graphics, customization, dialogue, translation to other languages, difficulty, hacking mechanics and so on are on point. This is my taste my honest opinion. The game has errors that arise from its complexity, an expansive ability tree, a huge amount of variation and so on. It lacks on random open world encounters and true AI, as the open world is meant to act as a complement of the main quest rather than as a core element of the game. You are not going to repeat missions to find epic loot and discover awesome spots where you can play minigames and engage in conversations outside of quests. The game lacks that freedom and randomness, but If you are ready to let Night City explore you and dont mind leaving your unrealistic expectations of exploring Night City aside, this will be fun for you.

    Im having a great time. This is an awesome game even at day 1 but It could be a little more awesome like game changing If you will.

This video lists some actual criticisms we should've heard about, but instead, i had to see a bunch of **** about malicious lights to kill the epileptics and violence's against trans because of lack of pronouns, and jeff grub not being able to eat at the hot dog stand so he hits it with that 60 on Metacritic.

    The review mentions graphical downgrade, but ive long since stopped hitting studios for this unless its as egregious as UBISOFTs usual E3 Porn. But in general, i blame the graphical downgrade on consoles, as always. This reminds me of watchdogs, when sony went out of their way to make sure the pc graphics were in line with the console graphics so they could sell that narrative of being nex gen. With a new console launch, i would not be surprised if the same deal was taking place here. Graphical limitations have always been because of consoles, i see no reason for that to change now. Game still looks incredible, the crowd density shown in the trailer, exist in the game which helps make the world feel alive, which i think its a big deal because usually its not just the graphics downgraded, its the world population, night city is no wasteland.

    Dont get me wrong, the game has some things that need to be fixed and addressed before i would give it a 10/10. So far, i give it an 8/10 after 6 hours of gameplay. I like the story, i have no problem with the pacing i was looking for an immersive world and i got it, i love the presentation, i love the fact that when the game loads it plays news stories, i am getting exactly what i expected - which was not some 0 to 60 run and gun action movie but a world you want to exist in. I like the mechanics but i am someone who will read the entire skill tree before spending a point so thats why it is fine for me. I look at the skill tree and i see the builds and the synergies and it makes me put pins down in my head that make me say "Im going to do that build next,", "This is what ill do with my nomad" etc, etc. After coming off games like assassin creed valhalla and immortal fenyx rising and the like, having actual builds beyond knowing that eventually i will get the entire skill tree unlocked in one playthrough so "who cares where i spend these points", is great.

    I really like the character creator, my first character didnt turn out so well, but i went back in and spent even more time with it and the final result is something i really like interms of how realistic it looks and how it turned out - i have some complaints about the accessories, as i dont understand why earrings dont come in pairs or why hairstyles are gender locked, but overall its great. However i wouldve went with an RGB slider for EVERY color option, rather than preset colors.

    The game loses a point for its terrible UI and color scheme that you cant seem to adjust the red and yellow everywhere is off putting, i know its symbolic to cyberpunks universe but it strains the eyes, and for locked key bindings that you cant adjust, not having the option to remap the inventory or walk on pc is just insane, probably an oversight though. Finally, It loses points for the bugs and glitches that haven't been ironed out, even with the day one patch.

    Overall, this game is so far, is absolutely worth buying and playing in my opinion. If you liked Witcher 3, Fallout, Deus Ex and games of that nature. You will Enjoy it. The gunplay is actually pretty good for an fps rpg, but this game is no Shooter, you will have the disconnect the division has if you expect COD, Rainbow six, ghost recon style gunplay. Headshots dont equal death, there are dice rolls in play and the game is very much an rpg first, shooter second. think Fallout 4 not Battlefield.

    PS - I play on pc with an enthusiast level PC. I can run the game on max graphics -rtx set to psycho. Whatever graphical issues and fps issues you may have i am not ignoring, i simply cannot relate to it as i have not experienced it.

    About 5 hours in, it's impressively broad and detailed, the story is engaging and the gameplay is deep and mostly satisfying, but - with so many different ways to build your character and different approaches to every mission - it's not surprising the gameplay is rough around the edges with a ton of minor bugs and glitches.

    It's basically the Witcher in a cyberpunk universe, in first person view, with some Fallout elements. The story, graphics, music, dialogues etc... are all great. Main drawback is the bad AI. And don't expect a GTA like game. If you have a decent PC and enjoyed The Witcher and enjoy the cyberpunk universe, you'll be happy.

    Time flys so fast when I play Cyberpunk. The fun Im having with this game allowed me to forgive the occasional frame drops here and there (I believe that will be fixed). What can’t be fixed is how shallow the story is! Maybe some DLCs can give the story some depth..

    Its not game of the decade like most of us were hyped for but at least its game of the month. Setting is fantastic and Night city is very immersive. Missions are average, gunplay is average, driving is below average. Its not technical marvel nor does it have any mind blowing innovations. Its just "good" game. At least on PC performance is stellar.

    Could the game have used another year of development? In any case. But it's still a good game, especially on PC. Still not a 10 cause of all the bugs, gunplay, (too much loot lol), driving and NPC behavior, latter did Rockstar much better. But, it's a new IP, it's a cyberpunk setting. The city and the stories are on some another level. So it's solid 8/10 for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is clunky but you get used to it, the world feels big even if the map isn't that big, there's a lot of side missions and side gigs which are really interesting compared to other games. The graphics are beautiful, but of course there's a lot of glitches, in my case I didn't have anything major, nothing keeping me from completing the missions. So I basically was able to get invested in the story and dive into the universe. Now the story, goddamn it was great, it started really slow at first nothing but then after the arasaka heist everything kicked into second gear and the ball started rolling. From then on the story is compelling makes you care about every character you encounter during the main quests which of course makes for bittersweet endings, there's no ending voided of any kind of negative ramification which is really cool as you can never get everything. There's always something or someone you lose.

    Right up front, I want to say that my heart goes out to those playing this game on last-gen consoles. The bugs and performance issues are inexcusable, and CDPR will need to work hard to get those games to an acceptable state (and to recoup some of the goodwill they've burned through during this release process).

    That being said, I've played about 45 hours on a gaming laptop PC with an i7-9750H and the mobile version of the RTX 2070, and the game runs well. My graphical settings are more or less set at Medium across the board, and I've managed to achieve a consistent 60 FPS, with minor drops in heavily-populated or particularly detailed areas. I've experienced occasional graphical glitches, but nothing beyond what I've come to expect in open-world games of a similar size & scope. And most importantly, I've not yet encountered any crashes or game-breaking bugs.

    Performance issues aside, I've really enjoyed my time playing Cyberpunk 2077. The world design is visually stunning, and Night City is probably the coolest and most interesting looking open world I've ever experienced. The storyline is engaging, particularly some of the deeper "side" quests, and the game is chock-full of memorable and interesting characters. The gameplay loop is satisfying and allows for a decent variety of approaches, from stealth to melee to guns-blazing. While the leveling / perks system doesn't break any new grounds, it's fairly deep and allows you to craft your character to your preferred play style.

    Unfortunately, I think it's this distinct lack of "breaking new grounds" that has directly fueled a lot of the backlash against the game. CDPR has had the marketing dial turned up to 11 for the past few years and has consistently promised players that the game would be the "next step" in the evolution of open world games. While the visual design of the world is unparalleled, the gameplay cribs from a lot of established conventions and doesn't really offer any significant innovations.

    The level of interactivity touted by the game's marketing is sorely lacking. While traversing Night City and taking in its sights is a blast, you won't find as many of the random, unexpected moments like you would in an RDR2 or GTA5 that truly make an open world feel like a real place. NPCs are largely set dressing, and the criticisms about NPC AI are completely valid. While they all look and sound unique, the game does nothing to make them feel distinct from one another in terms of how they react and engage with you. And on the road, NPC drivers feel particularly brainless, seemingly incapable of driving around your parked vehicle.

    The police system is also totally borked, with police appearing behind you as soon as you do something illegal (regardless of whether you're downtown or in the middle of the desert). I typically don't play open world games for the sake of causing pandemonium, so this has been less of a disappointment for me. But, different people engage with open worlds in different ways, so it's something to be aware of. I very much hope that CDPR fixes / improves some of these systems in future patches -- improved and variable NPC AI (both on-foot and in-vehicle), believable police, and emergent NPC interactions would go a long way in helping Night City feel like a real place.

    However, it'll be more difficult to fix or improve many of the absent roleplaying elements. As much as marketing hyped the "choice" and "consequence" aspects of the game, very few of my choices (thus far) have felt like they've had a real impact on the story (either in specific quest lines or on the overarching narrative as a whole). For example, the Maelstrom questline at the beginning of the game that was shown off in so many preview features feels like a vertical slice from a previous, more ambitious iteration of the game, as it offers multiple critical paths to reach its end. But I've been disappointed to find that subsequent quests over my 45 hours of play haven't really offered a comparable level of choice-dependent branching.

    It just smacks of a development team paring down the scope and complexity of its game in order to contend with unrealistic time constraints. I do very much hope that we get some solid investigative reporting into the story behind Cyberpunk 2077 and why CDPR were unable to deliver on some of the game's most-anticipated gameplay elements.

    While I've spent quite a bit of time discussing some of the most significant negatives of the game, I do absolutely recommend it, and I've very much enjoyed my time in Night City. As a beautiful game that works within the standard conventions of an open-world action game with an RPG character-building system, the game is fantastic. But as a revolutionary roleplaying experience with a realistically-complex and unparalleled open world, the game fails to deliver on many of the promises made by CDPR.

    I didnt like the fact that you can´t customize your character after create it- even witcher has a barbershop so - hope that they update it with hair,tattoo and any options.
    i like to see the improvements in the body - or a way to transmog skins -to use a nice armor but has a nice style.

    there are some missions that i really don´t care - blue ones - and i would prefer more sides or others gold missions than this .
    I would like to customize my car - i played the game without buy any car - i was satisfied with the ones that i had for free - bikes and some cars .
    i tested - buying the car called quadra cthulhu but, nothing about cthulhu in it(i was expecting some cthulhu toy inside, just like the dog in some cars, but..no).

    i would like to customize some things in my apartment .
    I would like to have a better IA with cops that run to you in their cars, not appearing from nowhere and just trying to kill you by feet..
    I would like to see a better traffic.

    Night city is really amazing and sometimes i can use some skills to go up in some buiildings, but there is nothing, no secret, no chest, a big space with so much potential..

    I love the game but it can be better. it can be more .

    Hope that cdprojekt focus in improve this game , maybe more dlcs than witcher - and after that- they can think in a multiplayer to use this city in a better way..

    maybe with more vehicles -i just saw a boat in one mission and another on the 'beach' but with no action-
    i just saw 1 helicopter trough all the game.
    the flying cars could be great too - even if you use in the future just to go to the tallest building and take a photo.

    hope that you listen.

    And yeah, i am talking about PC- its a shame that they released it in a bad way for consoles - hope they add every improvement there too.
    And using the game mechanics as an example:
    You had max CREDIBILITY CDPR - but now you need to solve this missions and save your life and recover part of your CREDIBILITY,because unfortunately i am never going to preorder a game again.

    The only way to play this game, the amount of mods that have been made has made the PC version definitive and mandatory.

    Other than that, CDPR's decisions as to rushing the game out when promising it would release "when it's ready" was a humiliating disaster, AND their propagandist Russophobic policy has irreparably damaged the reputation of this development studio.

    It's definitely a good, even great game with bad launch. Sadly, launch is what is botched here. Even if game will be talked about in years as best RPG to this day, its release date technical condition will be one of the most epic failures, which is unfortunate.

    It's definitely a good, even great game with bad launch. Sadly, launch is what is botched here. Even if game will be talked about in years as best RPG to this day, its release date technical condition will be one of the most epic failures, which is unfortunate.

    As for game itself - it does look good and interesting. Story is, let's say, captivating, there is a ton of different characters and atmosphere of the city is incredible. It can be Blade Runner in one moment, Dredd in the other, Ghost in the Shell in third. But it is a Cyberpunk and it is good.

    Game, as a game, is ok. Whoever is saying "This game is awful" without any clarification is just full of crap. Game has pretty good combat, stealth felt kinda meh, driving is simplistic.

    I went to the game with kind of a mood of expectations not muddled by ads and people. I didn't know what to expect. It started not exactly how I imagined it, but it is ok - we are often making our opinions based not on game, but on presentations and how people are influencing them. I didn't want any of that crap.

    This game is no masterpiece.
    This game is no crap.

    It's a good game, plagued with launch issues.
    It needs patches to increase performance, rendering and fix visual glitches.
    So far it was quite stable for me, froze once for several seconds, but had bad performance and a lot of TAA with terrible reconstruction.
    Also, it's one of few releases where my 1060 actually shows its age already.

    Do I recommend this game? YES! If you like cyberpunk, and by cyberpunk I mean not the "I never asked for this" or "something-something AUGMENTATIONS!!!" or "something something HUMANITY" but pretty trashy society that has pretty high tech on the level where buying new arm is like buying a new phone - some people do that because it will better go with their fashion, and people's clothing designs being just terrible (lol, look around in any big city and tell me if popular designs for clothes aren't trash) and all being kept by corporations not because of evil illuminati but because of consumerism, where you can not go 30 feet without getting new ad, tailored to be as aggressive and suggestive as it can be, then this is a game you will probably love. And you probably bought it anyway.

    This is no high-philosophy game, although it can be that couple of times when you reflect on yourself, your actions, your life. Yes, it can be.

    Also, in this game you can be a psychotherapist for a car with suicidal tendencies. What's not to like there?

    Ok, so it's not 10, it's 8. I guess, it's valid - 2 points away from botched launch and bad technical condition on start. That needs to be fixed and it will be solid 9.

    This game isn’t nearly as bad on PC as some people make it out to be. When giving a score to a game I think one should compare it to other games of the same genre that came before, and when comparing Cyberpunk 2077 to other Action-RPGs it’s just fine.

Of course this is almost completely the fault of CDPR’s marketing division who for years have been presenting the game like it would be the coming of the gaming messiah, so I won’t hold it against people for comparing the game to promises made.
    I find the gameplay enjoyable apart from a few annoyances, and the story of the game is really good. Yes it’s still buggy at the time of me writing this, but those will be fixed soon. Hopefully they will add some missing features as well in time, along with more content in DLCs. Worth giving it a try for sure. You might want to wait some time for it though.
    Just a reminder, that this review is only about the state of the PC version. The PS 4 and Xbox One versions are unplayable trash and CDPR should be ashamed of themselves for releasing it in such a state. May they lose LOTS of money on that **** so they think a second time about doing such **** in the future.

I had played the game at release and had I been scoring the game then, my review would probably be quite different. First I will talk about my experience at launch on PC. Cyberpunk 2077 released on PC with a host of bugs ranging from graphical glitches to audio bugs. There were also issues with certain quests failing to trigger as well as wonky physics, or a game corrupting issue if you crafted too many items. I didn’t encounter too many of these but they were there. I wouldn’t say my launch issues were any worse than say Skyrim at release way back in 2011. That being said? Players on last gen consoles had it way worse and CDPR even withheld review copies from press so many players weren’t aware of the issues until the game was in hand. They clearly knew the game wasn’t ready and shipped it anyway. That alone would have been enough reason for me to knock the score down. After squandering the goodwill they had garnered with the Witcher 3, they would have to play catch up and work to fix issues. Patches came and went as did a roadmap with target dates which slipped by.

    So how is the game now in 2022 after it’s disastrous launch. Well it’s still not without it’s issues, but it still is a great game. Even playing it on PC with those issues mentioned above I could tell that there was a good game in there. It’s just a shame that the conversation became about the games’ shortcomings rather than its triumphs and the blame rests squarely on CDPR management.

    Cyberpunk is first and foremost an RPG with shooter mechanics. You have various skill trees with points to allocate. Do you want to make more of an assault type character or maybe you want to focus on a melee build with mantis blades with investment in stealth perks? Maybe you want to be a net runner and specialize in quick hacks? My preferred play style was using smart optics and smart guns which turned sniper rifles into a bit of an aimbot capable of nailing enemies behind cover.

    Where Cyberpunk really excels though is world building and it’s character development. This city truly feels like a seedy city with factions vying for control. It’s writing is sharp and many of the quest lines stick with you. Think of the Bloody Baron quest line from Witcher 3. Cyberpunk is chock full of detailed and interesting characters. Keanu Reeves of course plays Johnny Silverhand and I love the way they used him and his voice here.

    The score and music are on point as well and the song Never Fade Away takes on a whole new meaning by the time you reach the end credits. I won’t reveal more here due to spoilers.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a much improved game over the way it originally released. It was recently on sale for $10 during Black Friday. It was on sale again for a paltry $5 in Apr 2022 at Best Buy. I can’t speak to the PS4/Xbox One versions. I have heard they have improved, but if at all possible wait to play it on PS5/Series X or pick it up on PC. 

It’s been a long road and there is likely future content to come next year. If you have waited, your wait will have paid off. Or you may wait for the new content in 2022. They might even bundle said new content into a "definitive" or "complete" edition like Witcher 3 "complete edition".

    Es un videojuego muy divertido, para nada es lo que se esperaba, ni creo que cambiara a la industria, ni es tan "complejo" o rompedor, pero tampoco significa que sea un mal juego, tiene una buena historia, la jugabilidad es buena, gráficamente es increíble, y por lo menos mi experiencia con los bugs no fue tan mala aunque si tuve varios, algunos muy molestos.

    POSITIVES:
    My personall experience with the game is hughely positive (not without some issues though). Graphics are imho fantasatic, especially with RTX turned on some places look simply amazing. The scale of the city is overwhelming (at least at first) but gives something that we didn't have before. Storywise game is again fantastic (altough depressing as hell) Quests would work even without journal and mapmarkers as they are organicaly build into the world and give you (the player) sense of logic and natural consequences of working and living world. Characters are great and makes you consider your choices. Don't have problem with small only differences between the paths you choose at the beginning (since they are clearly representations of the endings you might want to choose at the grand finale). Even if we consider game much shorter than W3, it takes its time to develop characters and their storylines. Obviously at the end, you wish for more - but that seem to be normal with good game.
    NEGATIVES:
    As i said though, i have some issues. Many thing was said about bugs... ive encountered 3 that i think are worth to remember, rest are just very minor glitches that imho are not worth to cry about since they happened maybe once every 10 hours during my gameplay.
    .
    First bug was one specific npc that was t-posing (only this one specific npc which baffles me).
    .
    Second bug was pictured by a pair of motorcycles that swooshed from side alley into the pedestrians, killing them and causing panic on the sidewalk, just to eventually crash into a wall of nearby building (although it was epic and funny as **** it was a bug).
    .
    Third Bug forced me to reload previous save and i encountered it when ive got too far away from important conversation (apparently) and when ive returned quest didn't trigger next stage.
    .
    There was also fourth bug but it didn't have any consequences, though it was wierd encounter and overall funny (again). When you call Rogue through phone (anywhere outside afterlife), ask her about personal stuff and then mention Johnny Silverhand - she teleports to you no matter where you are. As i said this one didn't have any consequences (and by replicating bug i was able to teleport her back to Afterlife :P ).
    .
    Anyway. Few other issues i have are desing problems.
    I use controller (though i play on PC) and noticed that crouch button is the same as skip button in conversations. Respec item allows you to respec skill points/perks but not the attributes which makes it useless in larger scale since attributes determine what kind of perks you can choose (or maybe this was already changed?). No changing your look during a game makes no sense to me - even if we don't see our character that often it seem to be a huge oversight from my perspective. Overall interactivness of the City seem to be shallow too. There is actually no activities outside of quests, not even something as simple to do as shooting range, repeatable car rides, obsctacle courses - anything that could throw more depth into actually impresive Night City. For same reason NPCs seem to just wander aimlessly the streets for no reason and do nothing which causes more problems the longer you think about it. Night City needs more Depth, and need it quickly. Another thing that makes no sense to me is (as it was in Witcher 3) LOOT SYSTEM... why i need to wander around whole city just to find piece of clothing i might want? Instead of giving me a choice to wear whatever i might want? Imho every single cloth we buy should be also upgradeable to Legendary status (through lower ones) since as well we could build legend (sort of speak) of our pants, blouse, jacket or whatever (like Johnny Silverhan did with his pants). AC Odyssey did it perfectly (wear what you want, upgrade what you can, make it look whatever you like system in AC Odyssey is still superior. Didn't played Valhalla yet).

    Now for the bad parts, there are clearly many mechanics and content that were removed from the game to save time, I suspect. This game needed another year, at least, to be all it can be or all we all hope it would be. The inventory is a mess, to find some object if you need to review a clue, is almost impossible. The message and shard index are also terrible.

    I'm very confident that CDPR will fix this game and make a great number of improvements in the next months, but right now, I gave it a 8 out of 10.

    However, the NPCs don't appear to be living their own lives, many looking like they are walking around aimlessly, the cars stopping in the middle of the street and causing the traffic to just halt. The AI needs some work. It's not the game I was expecting, but I enjoyed the first playthrough, and I am now on my second.

    Graphics is amazing btw. Wish they took the 6 more months to polish it, it's not like it would be anything less cutting edge in 2021. Heck, even in 2022, if the world lasts that long that is. Sure looks like they basically turned CDPR into yet another MBA-ran enterprise with crunch, worker exploitation and focus on timelines, not creativity or quality. Sad.

Yes, the scope and size of the city is amazing but you have to wonder if that wasn't too big of a chunk for CD project.

    The interface is a the real problem in the game. It's way too complex, not very intuitive and has a long learning curve. It feels like little chunks who were fused together without any real global vision. Riding bikes are way more fun then cars, because the cars feels like riding bikes. The fast travel is a real time saver but it's also fun to ride and discover the city. There is a lot of loots. You can modify and upgrades weapons, armours. You can craft just about anything but it's easier to upgrade then crafting from nothing. The level system is well done but the interface cut the pleasure of it.

    The music is the very best. The in car tunes or main soundtrack are great. The presence of Keanu is a good touch. The voices and sounds fits perfectly. However, a lot of NPC have generic one liners. You can talk to everybody but it's a useless option. The combat is fps style and do offer stealth. It works well enough and each weapons has some limitations of their own. I completed the game with all the yellow icons in 62 hours. The ending was good and was kind of open. I give the game 78%. I know the game isn't perfect but I had fun exploring that city.

There have been many city-based open world games by now, but none was able to create a city like this one, with its claustrophobic vertical development and omnipresent advertising.
    The gameplay is based on sandbox variety. You can choose a huge number of specializations for your characters, both in terms of abilities and toolset. You could be a street samurai using weapons to solve every situations, for example, but even so, which class of weapon will you specialize in? Pistols, rifles, shotguns, blades? And, in the case of firearms, will you pick power, tech or smart, each with its own defining characteristic? Will you give up your cyberdeck in favor of a bullet time augmentation? Or, will you use some stealth and cyber warfare to whittle down your enemies, before you jump in for the kill? What physical augmentations will you choose?
    As much as I like the gameplay, though, I really like cyberpunk as a genre, and I consider "Neuromancer" to be the best cyberpunk novel ever written - or at least the best one I've ever read. Its influence on the world, on the vibe and on the characters is undeniable. Keanu Reeves' Johnny shares his most evident characteristic with an important character of the book. The Afterlife night club would feel right at home in Chiba City. Most of all, the long sequence that introduces you to the main body of the game has you plan and prepare for the heist of the century and, while you get little choice in how the situation develops there, it made me felt like I was living that favorite novel of mine.
    If you are the kind of gamer that skips dialogues to jump to the action quickly, you'll probably find these sections boring. For me, they are what differentiate this game from the competition, together with the extreme care put in every detail.
    This might be my GOTY 2020, I laugh in the face of TLOU and its woke tirades.

    That said, a lot of complaints are well founded. The way police alerts are implemented is embarrassing. Driving AI is almost nonexistent. The racing and boxing side quests are shallow and really badly implemented. You'll probably be better off if you can wait until some significant patch to improve things.

    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.
