    My Cyberpunk 2077 experience at december 2021 was quite special as i had been hearing about this hyped up video game for a long time and have wanted to play it for awhile. This game is best explored when you do every possible side quest possible as they really add a narrative presence to the story    … Expand

    Solid experience overall, having played by the time most of the glitches were patched out. Melee is bad, but shooting is fun. Upgrades were interesting. Driving was a pain.

    Although the game is full of bugs, CD Projekt Red has done a tremendous job in terms of story and city design. I was only able to play two years after it came out, but it was worth it.

    One of my favorites, for sure. Graphics good, gameplay fun (like 90% of the time), story great but: quite a few bugs even now, a lot of missed opportunities and sometimes it feels overall empty (Can´t say why). It is a great game but it does not hit the 100% mark. Right now it is 85% of what it could be. There is quite a lot room for finetuning. Let´s see what phantom liberty brings us.

    I must say I had quite a lot of fun with the sidequests, also the main story is quite impactful.
    After 50 hours the gameplay might get a bit boring and if you look back at your playtime you will remember quite a few small and medium bugs. But at the end it will be quite a nice experience.
    BUY IT. I want to see a sequel in like 10 years in which they learned from their mistakes.    … Expand

    Best game of 2020. Truly next-gen graphics, amazing story and characters. Sadly but this game isn't an rpg by any means, before the game came out i had a felling like this is gonna be just a witcher 3 with guns, and yeah, dialogue system, quest-design and more other things in this game has a tons of similarities with previous game from CDPR. But since when a witcher 3 became a bad game :D

    Some nice characters and stories nested in a breathtaking open world, undercut by jarring bugs at every turn. Rpg elements that I expected were missing. If that part didn't gone for missing, then cyberpunk 2077 would be remembered with perfection, not disappointment. Anyway, I liked the way of the introducing characters, i was expecting more from CP2077 but still a good game.

    Cyberpunk is a frustrating game.
    Because it had all the potential in the world to become an 11/10 game.
    In the end, the launch state was terrible, many RPG mechanics are shallow or hardly exist and the freedom is by far not as vast as it could be.
    But its characters, story and many design choices are still resulting in a great ride.

However, it would have been even better if they made it longer. The graphics of the game looked really stunning, especially wandering around the city at night was a whole different experience. The side quests in the game were really enjoyable, sometimes even more fun than the main quests. CDPR is already great at designing side quests, and they have improved themselves even more after The Witcher. It would have been better if they had developed the artificial intelligence more in the game; in my opinion, the AI felt quite weak. I didn't like the police chases in the game, as it was easy to escape or when we shot NPCs, they would teleport right next to us when our wanted level increased. They could have implemented a better system for that. I played the game long after its release with good pc setup, so I didn't encounter many optimization issues, bugs, or glitches. It's somewhat normal for major games to have significant bug problems when they are first released because making a game is not an easy task, and they gradually fix the bugs to improve the game. On one hand, players had excessively high expectations for this game, and when they saw the bugs upon its release, they got very angry due to the overhype. I think the game is in a good state now. I completed the game in 110 hours (Main quests + Side quests + Extra content), and my game only crashed once. I had a few minor issues, like my character's head turning black a couple of times. In my opinion the game didn't deserve to be criticized so heavily. I liked it, I think you should give it a try.… Expand

    Glad I have it another chance

    So I've roughly 70 hours on this game since starting and completing it and I must say I have had an absolutely amazing time. Let's be honest, the game had a terrible release and definitely knocked a lot of people's trust in CDPR, even I had a lot of issues with it when it released, floating cups, spawning chars, T-posing enemies, you name it, it was there.    Glad I have it another chance

    So I've roughly 70 hours on this game since starting and completing it and I must say I have had an absolutely amazing time.
    Let's be honest, the game had a terrible release and definitely knocked a lot of people's trust in CDPR, even I had a lot of issues with it when it released, floating cups, spawning chars, T-posing enemies, you name it, it was there.

    So I put it away, wrote it off as a disappointment that couldn't be redeemed.

    The only reason I tried this again, is me and my friends often play tabletop RPG's and due to some scheduling conflicts over the summer, we've started doing one-shots of different games and Cyberpunk Red was one of them, which I assumed the role of Netrunner for the team and had a great time. So I wanted more Cyberpunk content which is why I reinstalled it and gave it a second chance.

    And oh my what an experience I've had.

    I'll start off with what I disliked first and foremost and believe it or not, there's not too much now that a majority of the bugs have been fixed.

    There are still bugs, unfortunately when a game like this is built under the crunch conditions that it was, no amount of reparations is going to fix that. Stuff from floating cars (on occasion, like 1 every 10 hours for me), UI bugs were the worst, sometimes forcing me to reload a save. AI would occasionally get stuck in a daft location.

    The driving is okay, it's nothing to write home about, no real vehicle damage except under big crashes and I noticed when you hit a certain MPH, cars and pedestrians simply stop rendering, which is cool cause it gives you a straight road to blast down at 210mph, but it's unrealistic, let's be honest. I am playing on quite high end PC so I don't believe it was a rendering issue, it seems that it's been implemented this way purposefully.

    I didn't think the ending was the best but I've heard it's to set us up for some DLC in 2023 so hopefully that'll resolve any gripes I had with the ending and give me a more satisfying conclusion.

    Now for what I liked.

    The gameplay was great, I played an intelligence/quick hacking build because I didn't want to just go all shootery like we can do in 100 different other games, I wanted to try the unique system built for the game I had an absolute blast. Truth be told I wouldn't recommend playing any other way, if you want to go balls to the wall shooter, you might as well just be playing Borderlands or the likes. Getting your Cyberdeck upgrades and different hacks and more RAM was the best thing for me. Jacking into networks, taking over cameras whilst being hidden outside a compound and just frying everyone to death whilst being nowhere near, muah, chefs kiss.

    The City itself, the map, oh my days it's beautiful, it feels like a real living breathing City, with a bunch of side quests to do that don't take you out of the action. You can walk around the different parts of the City and it genuinely feels like this map has been crafted with love and care and easily replicates what one would imagine a real city to be like in this setting. Truly magnificent.

    The characters you meet, from Panam, to River, to Peralez's, these characters are all well thought out; they feel like real people with aspirations and goals and not a lot of the dialogue feels scripted and samey, they do feel like genuine characters who have been well thought out and the voice acting has been done perfectly. Truth be told when the game ended, part of me felt like I'd lost a bunch of friends, even the protagonist I was playing as.

    The story is great, this is proper CDPR writing, from start to finish for the main story and some of the extended side quests, everything about it was great. Of course there are some detractors such as missions where you're just walking with someone hitting out with exposition which can be a bit slow paced, but overall the storytelling in this game is phenomenal, so much so that I can promise if you can look past some of the bugs (Sometimes I'd just lie to myself and pretend it was a glitch with my implants) then you'll find one of the most amazing stories ever. There was times where I'd be going on a mission with a literal pit in my stomach from nerves, like I was actually undertaking the job in real life. And not many games can achieve that.

    This game now holds a strong place in my heart, I can't believe it's over. I did all the Side Biz, all the chars storylines, all the gigs, pretty much all you can do except if you're going for a 100% achievement run.

    I'm going to miss this game but I'm anticipating the DLC release and you can be damn sure I'll be picking it up on release and taking that day off work.

    You got a lot of hate CDPR, and you deserved it for releasing this absolute diamond in such a state; but I commend you on what you did right, you've created a compelling, amazing story with fantastic gameplay to boot. I look forward to seeing a sequel.    … Expand

    Originally had it on Series X, didn't care for the performance so got it on PC. The more I play it the more I come away feeling that it's a mediocre game at best.

Putting aside the bugs and the underhanded hiding of the console versions and just reviewing the game's content, I still give the writing and narrative a 9/10, easily. And the music is easily a 8 or 9 as well. Beyond that though?

    The open world design feels dated and is lacking a lot of things that its contemporaries in the same genre have. Something as simple as a barber shop/appearance changing area for example. How is it that I'm playing a game about transhumanism where looks and attitude are everything, yet I can't change my V's appearance AT ALL after initial character creation? The most I can do is change clothes but even that's a joke because clothes are stat sticks, so we all end up looking like hobos wearing a hodgepodge of crap.

    There are almost no side distractions (not to be confused with side missions) as there are in other open world games; Some games are guilty of cramming too many distractions in but they're optional things you can safely avoid, but in Cyberpunk there's almost none. They tease you with braindance parlors but you can't go watch a braindance on your own time. Bars exist, but you can't do much with them. There are arcade and pachinko machines all over, but they're just non-interactive textures. The way CDPR talked about the dense cityscape, I was somewhat expecting a good mix between something like GTA and Yakuza, with a lot of side distractions that you could waste your time on. Maybe I expected too much in that regard but it doesn't even have as many distractions as the last three AC games or even GTA games from three generations ago.

    The RPG elements are equally as mediocre. I've already mentioned the clothing-as-stat-sticks, which is annoying enough (seriously, clothing items should be cosmetic and have mod slots with mods that work with your cyberware for stats, what an amazing concept, amirite??) but the stats themselves are just awful. Progressing armor or damage by tenths of percentages? Ugh. Lifepaths have no meaning beyond some inconsequential dialog choices and the intro sequence. Dialog is a linear affair, always ending up having you say what the game wants you to, and there's no real way to shape YOUR V the way YOU want. In the same place in the game, my Corpo Fem V and my Nomad Male V are functionally identical; both smart ass mercs who say what they want regardless of my input and don't act any different based on their history in Night City. Both crafting and the game economy are fundamentally broken, in its present state you can find myriad videos online showing you how to exploit the brokenness for millions of eddies in mere minutes.

    The menu and inventory system is just god awful. I'm having genuine flashbacks to launch Mass Effect 1 back on X360 where I was spending more time dismantling the same gear into omnigel and fiddling with mod slots more than I was playing segments of the game. Same thing here. The menu and inventory system is such a cluttered affair that you spend more time clicking through submenus and looking at gear stats and character points than you do playing. This ties into the RPG elements -- it feels like it could have been better designed and somewhat streamlined a bit. It doesn't need to gut the elements as much as Mass Effect did from ME1 to ME2 but it definitely needs some focus and tightening up.

    Driving and shooting are passable. Melee feels like an afterthought though and is a pain in the ass to pull off even when properly built for it. Or maybe I'm just bad. But that's a minor complaint compared to the rest.

    All in all, the game feels like a 7/10, tops, without the bugs. Solid writing, solid music and sound effects, but the rest of the game is just middle of the pack in the genre. Certainly not the "next generation of open world games" as their launch trailer touted.    … Expand

    The game was hyped up to be something like The Witcher series, but what a disappointed. Putting all the bugs aside, this game still feels kind of empty, few cars and people in the streets, features that are there, but cant be bothered using. The side quests are fine, though the main story is very short and like a 5.0 IMDB rated dramascifi movie.

    Beautiful game with an interesting story and some great ideas.

    It does suffer from some bugs, though the bug situation seems to be greatly exaggerated. It's not as buggy as Skyrim was at launch and I've played on both PC and Xbox One. The biggest annoyance I have found is that the driving is terrible and there's no auto-drive.

Animations not in sync with the facial expressions and I could take that long, not to mention the old-generation consoles, on which the game is practically unplayable. The game should be released at least a few months later.

    A classic example of why companies need to stop rushing the game out of the door just to meet deadlines. Underneath the glitches, performance issues and game breaking lays a game with breath taking graphics, amazing story and characters.

Underneath the glitches, performance issues and game breaking lays a game with breath taking graphics, amazing story and characters.

    Night City is in my opinion the best looking game world so far, the Blade Runner inspired world is a joy to explore seeing how different each section of the city looks, however, there's not much to do in Night City. You can't customise your vehicles, gamble or even change your characters appearance, So far I haven't found a single mini game, I can't even play on the arcades or get a braindance from a stripper. , I thought I would get something similar to Gwent or hell even play the table top games Cyberpunk 2077 is a continuation of. Wouldn't be great if you relive some of the stories that Cyberpunk 2013/2020 told but as playable side missions where your main character would have to wear a VR headset to relive the memories of the characters in the tabletop. The only thing you can do in night city is side missions and I haven't played a bad one so far. Most of them are pretty entertaining and a bit emotional at times.

    The characters are written very well and most of them are likable. I like Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand i think he did well for the most part.

    The gunplay and combat is decent but not amazing it can janky at times and the driving needs to be a little bit better but it's still okay if you play on a controller, the traffic AI needs a complete rework hopefully it will be solved in patches and the hacking is enjoyable.

    The glitches, the bugs and the performance are the biggest problem with the game. it's hard to get immersed in the world when your vehicle randomly glitches out or NPCs in the world walk through each other and vehicles, Police randomly spawn out of nowhere and the enemy AI isn't very smart at all, they are average or even brain dead stupid at times. some of them will stand there while you are shooting at them, and some quests you do will glitch out at times forcing you to go back to your last save which does resolve the issue.

    Even the patches that has been released it hasn't solved much of the issue. It still functions though well... on PC, the consoles? forget about it, the console versions aren't worth buying yet.

    I hope the PS5 and Xbox x series versions are handled better. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON CONSOLES UNLESS YOU HAVE A PS5/ XBOX X SERIES. Also optimisation needs to be fixed. some areas I get 45 fps others 30, I do have an RTX 2060 and while I enjoy using Ray tracing, it's hard to get a decent frame rate with RTX on, even with DLSS on sometimes I below 30 fps at certain places within the game. If you have an RTX 2060, put DLSS on Balanced to get above 40 FPS, if you aren't bothered too much about framerate being nearly locked on 30 stick it to quality.

    Also features are missing, not everything you do effects the story and the ability to bribe cops and get powerful NPCs.chasing after you are gone from this game. I hope they add it back in a patch because it would make the game better

    Despite all of its problems I still enjoy everything else about the game. Hopefully in a couple of months the game will be fixed mostly and perform better and hopefully more features will be added by the end of the year as I do feel that apart of the game is missing. Once most of the bugs and glitches are fixed I re score this review an 8 and if they add more features that are good of course I will re score it a 9 maybe even a 10. This game desperately needed another delay maybe another year in development because if it was given more time we could of seen a potential game of the year for 2021/2022 and it might have lived up to most of it's very expectations.

    For anyone that doesn't have this game yet, get it within a few months, hopefully by the, the game would be mostly fixed.

    There are features I would like to see implemented in the future (one all the bugs are fixed), like being able to move stats across clothing to be able to build a look without looking like you've been dumpster diving outside a charity shop.

    It really could have been great because the game shows plenty of promise. Unfortunately, it is also overhyped and undercooked. More hype isn't necessarily good when you don't deliver and Cyberpunk 2077 really should have had another year of development time. Maybe the game should be called Cyberpunk 2076 (sequence to Fallout 76 and a year too early to release).

    PROs:
    - Great visual when you can run it
    - Has absolutely amazing soundtracks
    - Voice acting is superb for most of the characters
    - Surprisingly good level design for an open-world game this big
    - Gunplay feels on par with top FPS (rare for RPG)
    - Great writing and the captivating main story
    - Well-written and interesting side missions

    CONs:
    - Bugs -- LOTS of bugs, like, on avg. people get one bug per hour of gameplay
    - Non-gunplay combat mechanic (melee, hacking, etc.) is unpolished
    - Underwhelming character customization
    - Underwhelming romance choices (2 per gender, 4 total)
    - Generic dialog options and what you say mostly won't matter
    - Poorly programmed AI
    - Mishandled marketing and PR

    Most CONs are not fundamental so given enough time, can be fixed. When and if fixed, Cyberpunk 2077 is easily a 9 or even a 10 out of 10. However enough time CDPR didn't give.

The story and characters are interesting and serviceable, but aren't as compelling as CDBR's Witcher 3.

    - The AI pathfinding of pedestrians, NPC's and motor vehicles is very poor and needs to be improved a lot.
    - The UI is very cluttered and non-intuitive.
    - The inventory system is overly complex and unwieldy.
    - The keybinds are all over the place. On one menu I press ESC to exit. On another menu I press F or C to exit. Scrolling sometimes uses the WASD keys and other times it uses the arrow keys. None of it is logical or consistent. One of the worst examples is the hacking interface keybinds.
    - The skill tree is very large and confusing. I've basically got to read through every single item to see what is most useful with the skill point I want to spend. The attribute tree is also confusing. To me red colour means you can't add a skill point but in this game you can and then it turns green once you have added it. There needs to be a clearer indicator of this.
    - The city needs fleshing out with more activities to do. Doors are marked "locked" but you cannot enter them. I can't buy noodles at noodle stores. There are no minigames.
    - The "braindance" activity was heavily promoted in gameplay videos and yet the final product does not even allow us to use braindancing outside of main quests. I am very disappointed with this ommission. There is even a shop that sells BD chips but no way to use them.

    CDPR has a lot of work to do to improve the game. It is obvious due to time constraints and engine limitations they cut a lot from the game release. Let's hope over time they can add a lot of missing functionality back into the game. As it stands Cyberpunk 2077 is a solid 7/10 for me.

Quickhacks were a lot of fun (although they do eventually get a little stale and trivialize most encounters). The setting was gorgeous, and the locations were worth exploring just to see all the detail built into the world. Mods do a lot to add content, polish rough spots, or tweak aspects of the game that aren't great by default.

    The bad: I waited a full 2 years before trying this game after hearing about how massively buggy it was on release. Since then it recently won Steam's Labor of Love for all the subsequent work done to remedy its issues. But its still quite a mess. Save OFTEN, and use many individual saves. You will probably have to roll back at some point. Bugs are still all over the place. Several entire systems in the game are bare-bones or janky. Driving is miserable (mod helps), but this is somewhat mitigated because CDPR is clearly aware of this shortcoming and includes almost no content while driving. Underground fight leagues are also incredibly basic. In fact, you can win every fight by merely hard punching every opponent over and over due to stagger lock.

    Overall, I'd say its worth buying on sale (I got it for just over $20 with the 50% off sale +Epic Store Coupon). The positives are potent enough to endure the negatives. I already have nearly 100 hours in the game, and I'll surely replay it again at some point...hopefully after most of the existing issues have been resolved.    … Expand

    The NPCs are totally forgettable and come at you a mile a minute. I'm a fair ways into the game and I can only really remember one NPC by name. Even then I would say they were fairly generic.

    Weapons are a joke. I can shoot someone point blank range in the head with a pistol and at best they take 20% damage.

    The combat UI is awful. I played a stealthy tech character and I was having to hold down all these keys and do all this stuff just to do very basic tech moves in combat.

Some scenes are as if Blade Runner or Altered Carbon came to life. - Great art design. I'm a sucker for retro-futurism, and the neon-look of the game's environment, cars, etc.    Started with (almost) no expectations.

    - Great art design. I'm a sucker for retro-futurism, and the neon-look of the game's environment, cars, etc. delivers.
    - Interesting and thoughtful story. IMPORTANT: if you power through only the main storyline you will miss 80-90% of the narrative content, as, indeed, many side jobs reveal much more than the main storyline. So PLAY THE SIDE MISSIONS. You will feel rewarded. Kudos to the writing team.
    - Keanu Reeves is yo wingman. While one can debate his dramatic acting chops he delivers the loudmouth, egoistic, unbearable-prick-yet-he-has-a-point rocker Johnny Silverhand perfectly. Also lets not forget about the rest of the cast, who all deliver memorable characters.
    - Great soundtrack. I'm a sucker for electronic and industrial music, too.
    - Interesting, I prefer this game to the Witcher. Dunno why, both are bleak in their own right.
    - CDPR at least gave some mod support and brought the modders on board which is a sane decision.

    Cons:
    - Bugs. They are really annoying, even on PC. They break the immersion which is a pity in a game building so much on the atmosphere.
    - Limited clothing customisation options. The generated NPCs through the city wear more interesting stuff than the player character.
    - Release: given the buggy state of the game, had I pre-ordered the game at full price I would have been pissed, too. If the game had been released a year later and without bugs, it would be considered as one of the great games of the decade. Such a shame.

    I bought the game for £40 and I consider it a good investment. Would give it 8 or 9 on the content, but the bugs and the release bring it down to a 7. If they iron out the glitches, build solid mod support, and add in DLCs in the future I would say this game still could be one that sets benchmarks in the future.

    It's a step up from witcher 3 in my books, very glitchy but not unplayable. The story beats are solid and CDPR did a good job as always with those, the gameplay is just ok but not a total letdown.

    Well... about 20 hours into the game... here is my thoughts ...

    Story - 9/10

    I am really enjoying the story, i think this is where the experience shines, much attention to detail went into these characters and fleshing them out, however i do feel like there is some things missed by not having the starting choices really effect your outcome aside from some different dialog choices under that starting point, as well as Clothes etc.. but i could be wrong here, that's just what i have witnessed so far 20 hours in.

    Graphics - 8/10

    I think the graphics are stellar but i do feel that this may be the new Crysis for the RTX cards, I have a 2070 RTX and i can't even get 60 fps with Ray Tracing disabled and DLSS Disabled.. i have to at least put DLSS to Auto or Quality to get 50-60fps .. so perhaps some optimizing is required here.. but overall i have seen this game on full, and its breathtaking.. for me it loses some points because even with ray tracing off i can't really play a solid 60fps with DLSS turned off.

    Controls - 7/10

    I think these could be fleshed out more, we need a walk function... driving could be tightened up ... there's a few things here, gets a 7 from me...

    Artificial Intelligence - 6/10

    I think some things are broken here, mainly... Police... they are just absolutely busted, they don't chase you like in GTAV, they simply just spawn out of thin air and start attacking you, and sometimes when you don't even provoke it, they come in for the kill... this needs to be hugely tightened up .. but for the most part ... if you avoid crimes... you'll be ok.

    Overall Score - 7/10

    With its current version, and the amount of glitches i have experienced, although the game is overall fun and i am having a blast with it ! the bugs are immersion breaking... and they need to be fixed and sorted... and the game better optimized, i am excited to see what the developer does in January - February as promised .. and where they end up , i will change my review at that point and update it. ! but for now.. ill keep enjoying what i can play now.    … Expand

    It's a good game, though it is light on the RPG side of things and heaving on the bugs. It's fun and has an engaging story, but this isn't going to by Cyberpunk 2020 but as First Person CRPG.

    its like biting into a delicious looking cake just to find out its plain vanilla. Its not a 0 or 1. The story seems eh so far. The gameplay is ok but not great. The world and city give false illusions. I've played way worse but I definitely played better bugs or not.

    Summary: Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with great stories and characters and interesting build options hampered by an uninteractive open world sandbox, bad AI, and a lot of bugs.

    The good:
    - The main characters are interesting, well written, and well voiced.

    - The main quest and narrative side content is every bit as engaging as the Witcher 3.

    - The environmental design is just incredible. I have never been in a city in a game that felt so much like a city. The different districts all have their own unique flair, and with creative parkour skills you can reach some amazing vistas. The interiors of most of the buildings are inaccessible though which is a bit of a let down but understandable due to the scale of the city.

    - The sound design overall as well as the music is very good and adds to the games overall aesthetic.

    - The visuals/graphics are amazing on even medium grade hardware and truly stunning when you start turning settings up.

    - The game mechanics and build options are good. Gunplay is good for a RPG with a solid cover system. The quickhack system acts as a magic system and is fun to use. Melee combat is mostly standard fair for similar type games with light and heavy attacks, blocking, and timed counters. Likewise stealth is typical for similar type games.

    The meh:
    - The side quests are well written but linear. Don't expect optional objectives or alternate resolution paths.

    - Driving is okay but needs work. The mini-map is too zoomed in when driving which causes you to miss turns or spin out from braking too hard. Also in general the cars have too much oversteer. I honestly found myself walking most of the time unless I needed to travel a few kilometers or more.

    The bad:
    - The open world sandbox is fairly empty. There are side jobs and NCPD assaults which are kind of the replacements for monster contracts and monster nests from the Witcher 3, but CDPR hasn't improved emergent gameplay relative to the Witcher 3. The only events not driven by the player are NCPD scanner hustles which are small skirmishes between cops and the gangs and/or gangs holding a few civilians hostage. I really wish they had added more variety to random events (perhaps opportunities to recover stolen goods/vehicles, rob shipments, etc.).

    - Speaking of side activities, there are almost no "fluff" interactive activities. While the game world is absolutely littered with references to braindances you can only access a couple during story missions. Besides looting random containers and buying food/drinks from vending machines basically nothing in the world is interactable.

    - The NPC AI is terrible. Traffic moves unnaturally around corners and cars just stop as soon as they encounter an obstacle or slightly deviate off the road. When civilians panic, they just freeze and cower.

    - The crime system is a complete joke. There is no item ownership at all. If you see it, you can take it consequence free. If you do manage to anger the cops though, about 10 of them randomly spawn out of thin air and start shooting you. Luckily, all you have to do to get away is run/drive a block away, and they will completely forget your transgression.

    - The loot/gear system is the same terrible one from the Witcher 3. All weapons are leveled which means that your epic quality gun is gunning to be outclassed in a level or two by random world drops unless you spend very difficult to acquire materials to upgrade it. Speaking of random world drops, looting is very frustrating with weapons dropping underneath enemies bodies and rooms being littered with spread out loot rather than having a centralized "chest" with all the good stuff. The game could really use an auto loot system (i.e. just run near loot to pick it up) rather than having to individually scrounge every item.

    - Last but certainly not least, right now the game is a bit of a buggy mess. I find myself having to reload a save to resolve a bug every 1 to 1.5 hours of play. Major issues requiring reload are things like weapons suddenly not being able to be fired, UI elements becoming stuck, and quest objectives not completing. There are a plethora of more minor bugs/glitches as well like bad pop-in, NPCs T-posing (even during story cut-scenes), and enemies just standing still doing nothing in combat.

    Overall, it feels like the game quality would be largely the same if the main and side quests were launched from a map (a la Mass Effect 1/2/3) rather than having the game be open world. That is really a shame given how breathtaking Night City is. That said, the narrative experience really delivers and if that is what you are after the game will be a treat once the bugs are sorted.    … Expand

    So i' ve played the game bugs and all and i got to say that although some of the bugs nearly made me want to pull my hair out this game can't be considered anything else other than a masterpiece...a incomplete buggy as hell masterpiece but still a masterpiece that considering how witcher 3 was at release brings me with great hope and expectation for this game future...a future that willSo i' ve played the game bugs and all and i got to say that although some of the bugs nearly made me want to pull my hair out this game can't be considered anything else other than a masterpiece...a incomplete buggy as hell masterpiece but still a masterpiece that considering how witcher 3 was at release brings me with great hope and expectation for this game future...a future that will definetly bring it from the 7/10 i rated it as to a solid 10/10.Now with the intro out of the way lets begin with the review.The main story atm i am at around 50% into it and i can say that the story so far is good you pick your background from a selection of 3 each with their intro quest all ending with you meeting Jackie ending the prologue with a timer till your inevitable doom and gloom.Now remember the 3 backgrounds at the start of the game? well after you wake up you are presented with 3 quests each representing in a way the same 3 backgrounds you picked at the begining.One being a former bodyguard his quest being in perfect contrast towards the corpo background the other being a fixer wich puts you into contact with someone who just happens to be a former nomad and the last one leading towards a gang known as the Vodoo Boys.Now the sidequests...they can go from randomn gang shooting while walking down the street to advanced infiltration or elimination of forces occupying a certain stronghold with a certain twist these 2 seem to be the most frequent sidequests but there arent the only ones there are also car chases(trying to catch cars that a run by corrupted AIs),car races,shoting range,brawling,thieving and/or recovering of certain stolen goods,investigation quests(braindance),boss encounters(cyber psycho elimination) and many more quests given by diferent fixers,the police,the people you meet during the main quest,or just some randomn person asking for a favour or encountering on the street....hell one of the quest was just going into a bar and ordering a drink and the next thing bam the place becomes the location of a few thugs trying to pull up a heist.Now with the meat of the game done now come the problems....police system is incomplete take my advice dont go all murder happy on civilians chances are the police will just spawn on your head and you will be dead within minutes if you get a very high number of stars...you can go nuts on the local gangs though so thats a plus in my book.The bugs some are just flat out anoying such as loot geting stuck in a wall or someones body being over it making it imposible to get it,Certain game mechanics breaking up making you reload the game(mostly quests with npc' es eighter freezing or completly vanishing making progresion imposible and save reload necesary but be carefull to save often as sometimes the game might just save when the game breaks thus you will have to load an older save(losing progress),runing with your motocycle over garbage makes it get stuck in the air for some reason and many other bugs wich is a real shame...so with all those said i m giving it a 7/10 cant possibly give it more....those bugs are so infuriating that i m sure some people straight out uninstaled the game due to frustration wich again is just a damn shame… Expand

    Played as: Female V, Nomad, Body / Assault build, Judy romance, did a lot of side missions, all of those which were not bugged. I've played on normal difficulty. Most of the side missions and the main story finished in about 42 hours.

    STORY & SIDE QUESTS: The main story is fine, but on the level of other AAA games, nothing above it like Mass Effect was for me. I don't need to save the world in-game, but I've missed some depth and atmosphere during the play. A good amount of dialogues were just ok. The decision selection was low, but maybe with another playthrough, I'll change my mind. But it felt railroaded a lot. Rather pushing you to the storyteller's story than your own. At some moments I was asking, why I haven't been given an option that felt more appropriate. There were very good parts and very blend parts too. The main story did not get into my skin so I would proclaim it as breathtaking. It was good, and still worth buying and go through tho.
    There is one cinematics where you will see your character. One, which is a pity, and somehow I have a feeling that there was planned for more, as one of the bugs was actually showing your face during conversation and the model was moving lips..but somehow they probably decided to retract from that idea....The photo mode is saving the day here, but is it enough? I don't need to play through all being cinematics, but it somehow adds up to the atmosphere feelings for me. Romance options, I've expected more.
    What bothered me a lot was the overwhelming push for all the jobs, phonecalls overlapping, rush, push...it didn't felt comfortable. I would prefer to experience a more chilled way to receive quests, rather than feeling like a target of Fixers Telecompany.

    CHARACTER CREATION: Biggest disappointment for me is Character Creation. It's detailed but to an extent. As for body types, it failed my expectations. Having a badass woman beating a huge bodybuilder with her fists, while looking like a skinny top model did not add to my immersion. Mixing voices and adding penises to females feel odd rather than exciting, especially due to lack of customization.

    THE OPEN WORLD, LOOT & CRAFTING: 1st person is good. The night city looks great visually, but somehow you can't interact too much with it. Sure there are shops, various NPCs which...just walk and don't want to talk to you. It feels just fake sadly. Do we really need open worlds in RPGs? I rather have an engaging, in-depth and epic story to play than playing GTA5 in the future. It feels like GTA5, better in some aspects, worse in others. Tons of loot. I was somehow hoping that there will be more meaningful and less loot, you will spend a lot of time with loot management and it kept me distracted from playing and enjoying the story. It also felt odd that you can loot basically everything in front of everyone without consequences. Crafting...mhm...didn't use much, because with so much loot there was not much point. All is expensive a lot, didn't have a chance to buy all while completing a lot of side missions. The economy isn't as bad as in GTA5, but not the greatest. The apartment is useless as well as other loot. GTA5 beats Cyberpunk in here.

    COMBAT & PROGRESSION: Combat is ok and fun, similar to Ghost Recon. It was fun, AI is dumb. The skill tree and the progression is good and gives you a chance to make a unique playstyle, although more points wouldn't be bad.

    MUSIC: Music and sound is great.

    BUGS: I am sure you've heard and read a lot about them...only a few times it broke my immersion, a few times gave me a good laugh. But PC is tolerable I guess? Folks with PS4 must be raging madly from what I've seen. For PC it is on verge of release, for Consoles, it should never been rushed like this. Especially with the motto: "It releases when it's ready."

    FINAL WORDS: *shrugs* I would still recommend this game on PC. It's better than most of the crap released last year.
    Somehow I am mad, that all the effort, all the years...for this? It is subjective...it is still a good game, just with that overhype...I've expected more, sorry CD Projekt.
    As expectations were much higher. Sadly CD Projekt damaged its own reputation with poor management decisions and every future game from this company should be not pre-ordered.    … Expand

What Cyberpunk does well, it does extraordinarily well. But where it falls, it falls so hard that it actually hurts. Don't get me wrong. It's not a bad game. At all. I do recommend it.

    The world is, for lack of a better word, breathtaking. I found myself just looking and taking in the sights more times than I can count. This is truly a beautiful work of art. One of best looking games I've seen by far, both technically and artistically. The characters, story and narrative are another high point. I loved them. All of them. They had such unique persona's, each with strengths and weaknesses. Their dialogue, voice acting, motion capture and even the small facial expressions are absolutely top notch. They almost feel real. There is so much love and care in here, it's practically bursting at the seams.

    Of course it goes without saying but there is A LOT that is currently wrong or straight up missing. Stability is the major roadblock as of now. Granted, I didn't run into any game-breaking bugs but visual glitches, audio hiccups and physics bugouts are a regular part of the experience. As is braindead or non-existent AI. It really, really sucks. The other major issue is that this is an open-world game that is completely lacking in open-world mechanics. There's really nothing you can do outside of predetermined missions. Maybe you can drive around or go for a walk, but even that's a stretch as the number of glitches you'll run into will immediately bring you out of it.

    But more than anything, I'm looking forward to the day where CP2077's potential will be fully realized. If or when that day comes, It's going to truly be something for the ages.    … Expand

Gun play is fine, fighting with melee weapons is disappointing because you just wildly slash around. Every boss fight so far has glitched out on me and enemies just stand around and wait for you, occasionally ducking out of cover or throwing a grenade, but they don't move around much. Companions yell random senseless comments that don't fit the situation all the time. Also honestly I am not sure if companions even make any damage in fights. I have the impression that they don't but I might be wrong, but very helpful they are not. Overall it feels like the developers just did not bother to try and program an AI or gave up halfway through. Dialogues also frequently glitch out a bit so characters end up repeating themselves or talking over one another.

    The city is very, very beautiful and atmospheric, but there is not that much to do. So it's like a beautiful stage set that you just wander through - at least you can see everything is handmade with much detail. NPCs have only a few words to say if you try to talk and move around the city like on rails, giving a very robotic impression. There's many side quests that are usually not that interesting.

    Several promised features have apparently been cut or reduced. There is no wall running, you can't customise your apartment, etc. The graphics were downgraded too, it's not bad and the lighting is really good and atmospheric but sometimes things can look a bit meh.

    The story so far is pretty good, as are most of the characters and dialogues. They are really loveable but also you can only talk to them sometimes if the plot allows it. However, being in act 2 so far I have already noticed that the plot is starting to be not as well done as in act 1 anymore, the dialogues less carefully choreographed. I really liked the staging of the plot relevant events & dialogues at the beginning but it seems to be starting to worsen. We'll see.

    The soundtrack is banging, and the overall setting is fun. Really the biggest problem for me is the lack of AI, it just makes the fighting meh. Even police is no threat because if they get called on you they just randomly spawn somewhere around you, then usually glitch out and after a few seconds of laying low the warrant is called off. I am having fun, but this game is not what you would expect from 8 years of development and would have probably needed a whole another year to properly reach a finished state. I hope fixes will come in soon to enhance the experience. Either way it will look like CDPR will take a huge reputation hit from this.    … Expand

    I am still playing through many of the great side quests, finished the main story line and got one of the endings but sitting at around 35 hours or so. I have loved it and the game looks amazing, managed to run the game on high/ultra settings with Ray Tracing and get 60fps on average unless i'm speeding through the city or enter a crowded market its just a shame despite so many NPCs walking the streets the game feels pretty baren.

    I had one crash and it was during my first few minutes when i was changing graphics settings over and over to find the best setting for my rig. The bugs i encountered were that of T poses here and there as well as once or twice my car or bike falling through the ground, lastly was a bug where the scanner function would get stuck and i had to reload my save to fix it. In the grand scheme of things none of these bugs made me mad or anything but I was just lucky.

    Unfortunately, CDPR over sold the capabilities of this game, there's no hairdressers, ripper docs don't have further unlockable cosmetic cyberware for V to equip, I see so many characters with different cyberware and even some characters with chrome arms or bodies, V can't get anything like that, the bigest changes for V you can make are the Arms, like Mantis blades and Gorilla Arms but its honestly pretty minimal.
    There's no car customisation, not even being able to change the colour some them. Took ages to grind for the cash to buy many of them. The Quadra from the trailer, that nice black one with the spoiler and such, the one i bought in game is a bright ass aqua colour or something.

    The life path you chose impacts so little, in a bunch of conversations you get you Nomad, Street kid and Corpo dialogue options, but they don't actually do much to change events or anything.

    + Plenty of side missions, with generally good variety.
    + Looks mostly beautiful if you have a good gig.

    The cons:
    - It's very known now, but the game is incredibly buggy. At one instance, I had to restart a full boss fight that I had a hard time beating because the game decided it doesn't want me to make dialogue choices anymore.
    - Technically, the game is not well polished with inconsistent frame rates and little impact to graphic settings. I was getting generally between 50 and 80FPS. But the game did drop to 40 FPS in some crowded areas. That is on a 2080 GTX without ray tracing mode - but on 2K.
    - The open world aspect of the game is quite lacking and a step backwards from games like GTA. AI is very robotic, the driving is quite dull, and there's not much to do or see in the city. It's unecessarily huge, but very repetitive all over the place with mostly minimal interactions with NPC or things you can do really.
    - The UI is a big mess, including the crafting system. Consumables are mostly useless as well. The quest log doesn't have the concept of sub-quests, and mixes up important ones with things like buying new cars.

    I honestly feel the scope of the game wouldn't have been achieved even with multiple more years in development. I can see what the devs are trying to do here, but rather than building many above-average mechanics, they should've focused on the action-RPG part, and focused on a smaller but more dynamic city and minimise the GTA-like concepts.    … Expand

    CD Projekt Red's long-awaited dystopian futuristic title is an engaging experience, only embittered by technical issues that may or may not be frequent depending on how the game performs in your PC hardware. I just wish they didn't rush it out and spent more time polishing out the game, addressing the bugs, glitches, performance problems and quality of life issues.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Минусы.
    Мало в игре годных квестов, я бы вообще убрал все второстепенные. За все основные квесты - слабая инфа в конце игры(то есть мне не понравилась открытая концовка по ним, нету чувства завершение и инфы что было с ними дальше ). Плохая музыка в радио. Машины не ок, играбелен разве что мотоцикл и калибурн (да не плохая тачка), колеса не простреливаются правда.
    Слишком пессимистичные концовки в игре. Мало свободы (например стать лидером корпы -
    нету), или башню ну того, ну вы поняли)
    Квест с распятием я бы добавил в нем чтоб ГГ помог сбежать, слишком провокационный квест.

    На гг не ведется охота, хотя его должна была постоянно разыскивать Арасаки и устраивать на него рейды с квестами и прочим, чего в игре вообще нет.
    Слабая боевка, слабые босы(где огромные мехи, модельку было сложно увеличить?) и интересней хотелось бы их видеть. Про баги писать смысла я не вижу, я вообще на баги мало обращаю внимания, если они к примеру не руинят прохождение квеста или сюжетки в целом, таких я в игре не встретил, хотя был один полубаг, в квесте с монахом, я прошел рукопашкой, а монах наговаривал что я кого-то убил, в общем разве что этот, тоже касается и налета с Панам на Милитех, якобы много там погибших, хотя тоже я всех уложил рукопашкой, а по новостям что куча трупов и минус герой войны.
    Нету линейки квестов с Милитехом в игре, а она очень просится.

    Было бы 8/10 Если не эти плохие концовки с пессимистичными нотами, я знаю что есть секретная попробую ее активировать, но без читов не обойтись судя по всему.

    Плюсы.
    Пришлось обновить винду до 10 офф, что поиграть в сию игру, и винда оказалась довольно неплохая, только данные передает какие-то, куда-то, когда я от компа отхожу =)

    Игре все же немного удается погрузить в киберпанк, а в некоторых квестов даже хорошо.
    Очень понравились квесты-линейки таки как: с Панам, полицейским, Джуди (хоть и запорол все два раза прохождение с ней) Неплохая сюжетка и у Джонни (хоть и концовку с ним можно было и лучше сделать, по радостней) Но ожидал я намного большего если честно, больше крутости, свободы и возможностей стать кем угодно.    … Expand

    The ambientation and visual aspects of the game are beyond incredible, it can be the best modernish-type of map for an open world builded. Night City visualy is just amazing, aswell as the look of the citizens, cars and neighborhoods.
    BUT, and it's a pretty damn big BUT, the city is just dead, there is no interaction between citizens, the IA is so bad, police is still dumb after a year from it's release date and the game is still bugged in a lot of things.

As it is, the 1.31 version I played was functional, with a relative minimum of bugs and crashes, though far from zero. It's a game I would have paid for.

    There's not much I can tell you about the game you haven't already heard. Put short, it's a visually striking title with truly excellent voice acting and facial animations, supported by a reasonably entertaining, if wildly unbalanced combat system that overwhelmingly favors firearms and revolvers in particular, and passable driving physics. It has open-ended character progression if not equal effectiveness of character builds, a robust character creator though not a lot of opportunities to view said character, a lot of nods to the tabletop game's lore and other cyberpunk fiction, a trans character who simply exists as a person without that being a central and exploited aspect of their writing, and honestly some of the coolest vehicle designs I've seen in a game. And of course, Keanu Reeves delights with his portrayal of series mainstay Johnny Silverhand, a complex and compelling character that is at once terrorist and freedom fighter, **** and capable of personal growth. Cherami Leigh, who I knew and loved as Gaige in the Borderlands series, acts her heart out right back as the female version of protagonist V.

    It is undeniably buggy, however, though perhaps less so from the **** I'd heard about at launch. I saw the occasional floating car, t-posing character, randomly exploding piles of papers and garbage, duplicated civilian models, un-grabbable items (though never an exceptionally rare item) and characters clipping into walls and disappearing, and so on- and yes, these could and did happen in the middle of otherwise poignant scripted scenes. I encountered no issues with corrupted save files however, and only two fatal crashes, both of which I believe were tied to the "Monowire" weapon, specifically when trying to block and counterattack with it. I was warned that the Mantis Blades weapon would also cause crashes, but had no issues with either that or the Gorilla Arms. The enemy AI, especially that of the cops, is indeed laughable, but I can't fairly say that it detracted from my enjoyment.

    I've also heard an argument that CP77 isn't actually a very good example of cyperpunk as a genre, and I'm not sure I'm educated enough to comment on that. Aesthetically I think it hits the marks, but in terms of its writing, the central narrative is largely about saving one's own skin, though you are given ample opportunities to help or hinder others along the way. There is notably very little the protagonist can do, or even to express an interest in, bettering the quality of life in Night City as a whole, so much as simply trying to survive it, this conflict being central to Johnny Silverhand's character and his past failings. As far as dystopic fiction in general goes however, Night City as presented is a successful artist's rendering of one of the most nightmarish post-capitalist hellscapes I've seen, a place where people are murdered in the dozens by the day, the police are privately-owned, trigger-happy and ultimately lousy at their jobs, proper medical care is restricted to the uber-rich, some people have to eat of garbage cans to survive and corporations act completely outside the bounds of law, tact, morality or common decency. In other words, an environment not far removed from the America we know today- only we don't have the cool and useful cybernetic augmentations to ease our transition into corpo-fascist-induced societal collapse.

    I'd seen what I'd needed to of Cyberpunk's combat mechanics about 25-30 hours in, but the sheer amount of side content padded the game out far beyond that- I think I was closing in on 100+ hours by the time the credits rolled. It's an immense game, and much like other titles of this nature maybe too much so for it's own good. it's mechanics really don't hold the game up for that long. CP77 has no less then FOUR layers of missions- the central story chain and "side jobs" as in many other games, but then the "gigs" and NCPD contracts, the latter of which offer no story whatsoever and are simply a means of gaining experience and items. and you will need to do nearly every one of these encounters to reach the game's level cap of 50. If you adhere to the admittedly dated and questionable "hour per dollar" metric of a game's value, CP77 certainly delivers on that score.

    I can't recommend buying CP77, but I also can't say it isn't worth playing. I can only say it's a shame its publisher did not act in good faith.    … Expand

Furthermore, there is really nothing more to do than to drive to a location kill everything or just steal something without killing everyone. Even the grand story missions follow the exact same mediocre gameplay. As there is a lack of mini-games that make the game varied. Furthermore, it would be great if your actions would have any effect on the city or you have the chance to modify something.

    I usually stick to multiplayer shooters like EFT, Insurgency and PUBG, and went into the game expecting nothing. I did not pre-order it and tried to limit my expectations to the minimum as much as I could, especially due to the fact that a game with so many years of development with no constant audience feedback (alphas and betas) is bound to have a few issues.

I did not pre-order it and tried to limit my expectations to the minimum as much as I could, especially due to the fact that a game with so many years of development with no constant audience feedback (alphas and betas) is bound to have a few issues.

    Also, I run a GTX 1080 with an intel i9-8th gen and granted, in some densely populated areas my frames drop to 50 in medium settings.

    With that being said, this game got to me in the first 10 hours. Honestly having excited and craving for more. After that, it became superficial, superfluous, with no real skin in the game. Decisions became mundane with no real impact on the game and defeating enemies was all too easy (even in the hardest difficulty). I felt like a tourist on NC, admiring it, but never a part of it.

    Pros:

    >Music - never had such an amazing audiophile experience like this. Truly immersive and a masterpiece in all regards (especially on critical missions)
    >Gunplay - Sometimes a little arcady for my hardcore taste, but when mixed with the melee and hacking and stealth and cover system it ends up being a really fun and exciting combination
    > Story - really dark and engaging, pretty short from the W3, but still good.

    Cons:

    > Driving - I've never been a fan of driving games and for me this is tedious and just a means to an end when I want to get quickly to my next quest. The driving system is also quite meh
    >Ambition - I mention this as a con because of the high number of angry people that cannot play this game properly (even above 30fps) due to the sheer size of the world, which is backfiring on them. Sadly, if you do not have a powerful gaming rig, you will not be able to enjoy this game for now :(
    >Weapon modifications - being an avid hardcore shooting gamer, I am used to be able to modify weapons extensively. Here you have max 2 attachments per gun (after 12 hours of playing), very poor for an FPS game

    It is not a perfect game and it does have a few funny bugs here and there. Sure it needs polishing and optimization, but if you are able to tolerate that (I have average framerates of 80 in low populated areas) this is a fun game, which sadly reeks of mediocrity considering the time they spent on it. Honestly, the game has little innovation to offer when compared to similar titles.

    It is a shame that CDPR was not more transparent for our fellow console players and should receive the fallout for it.

    Keanu Reaves was a good addition, but far from being a key piece in delivering a game that feels like a 2015 FPS.    … Expand

    when you play cp2077 you feel you are experiencing an incomplete mess which could be a masterpiece if more time was spent working on it, the game lacks necessary details that you expect from an open world game, the npc and enemy ai is terrible, the vehicle handling is aweful, animations aren't natural and you will see a lot of bugs, including game breaking ones. on the other hand there are many weopons and upgrades and various missions that you can enjoy the main missions are good (bugs aside) but most of the side quest are boring imo.
    while nightcity is designed very well and the game's graphics are nice (especially lighting) the game's world feels empty and lifeless.

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

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

It's just it doesn't look so good once you scratch the varnish. I've adjusted the score accordingly.

    Original:

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a dark, sometimes depressing, dystopian, resolutely adult-only game with an accurate take on the cyberpunk genre. Gamer discretion is advised : there is violence, gore even, and it doesn't shy from sexual references.

    The rendering is beautiful and the music fits well with the atmosphere. The ray-tracing clearly adds the the realism.
    I've found the story very enjoyable. The characters I've encountered are well fleshed out. I love interacting with them, it's fantastic. It has been a long time since I felt an emotional response to a video game character. The world feels alive, even if it's for a short time given that violence is never far.
    During some transitions, I feel like in a good movie. Sometimes a depressing scene reminds me of the original Blade Runner.

    If I wanted to be nitpicking, ...
    One thing that could be improved as far as I'm concerned is the key customization. I've been able to reconfigure what I needed but I would like to be able to reconfigure everything.
    Also, I've encountered once an issue consistent in one pedestrian disappearing mid-walk.

    I've heard some people had performance issue, my machine isn't exactly weak though, and the game is installed on an high-speed NVMe.

    This is the best game I've played in a long time, by far : I'm not easily pleased.

    If you are an adult attracted by good stories, dystopian worlds, role-play in general and you own a relatively powerful computer, preferably with an RTX card, you have to try this one.    … Expand

    The game is entertaining and graphically fulfills very well.

    It has BUGs, but for the size it has and fresh out it is normal.

    Now why I don't recommend it:

    The game is unfinished, you have the feeling that it is hollow. It is very clear that they wanted to do a lot of things and they have left almost everything half done.

    I am disappointed.

    I gotta preface this by saying I was hyped AF with this title since 2013.
    Writing this review after I played a ton of the game, here are my two cents:
    Good: - Story is good, better than most of the games on market these days, which is great. Cutscenes and are great, main characters are spot on. - Graphics is great, especially when using RTX, which makes frame rate dip far below 60 in    I gotta preface this by saying I was hyped AF with this title since 2013.
    Writing this review after I played a ton of the game, here are my two cents:

    Good:
    - Story is good, better than most of the games on market these days, which is great. Cutscenes and are great, main characters are spot on.
    - Graphics is great, especially when using RTX, which makes frame rate dip far below 60 in many scenes even on RTX 3080 that you barely can get anywhere these days.

    Not so good/dissapointing:
    - My main disappointment is that the open world is blank, empty etc. in terms of mechanics. Nothing seems to have a substance or feel to it, everything is just there for you to look at, just mere appearance of a city.
    - Game lacks content and variety, there are almost zero mini-games, professions, factions etc. No car tuning, even no barber shop or tatoo shop, which is bizzare.
    -RPG systems are weak, because there is no real transmog and not many options to fine-tune your experience or equipment outside of some not so interesting mods.
    - Some minor things, like HUD has no tranparency option, map in uniformative and all secondary missions no matter the type has exactly the same question mark icon etc. You cannot unfollow any mission for just free-roam, a reminder always stays in the screens right corner, unless you switch of HUD in potions menu.
    - Lots of readable lore with no real interest to dive into it.
    - Outdated stealth, shooting, driving - gameplay in general.
    - No endgame or new game + , replayability also seems limited.

    Really not that good:
    - Tons of bugs that break immersion.

    After fixing performance and bugs, I might as well give this game a 8 - 8.5, but it needs more major changes to be done in order to deliver what was initially promised. More content and many more gameplay systems need to be flashed-out, then this may as well be a worthy GTA contender in world of Cyberpunk.    … Expand

    I really want to give it like a 5 because it is so buggy on release, the balancing is super weird (played it on very hard and one-hitted nearly every enemy), the boxing quest is a complete desaster and a lot of stuff is just not finished - but I also want to give it a 10 because i can't remember a game I played where the characters were so fleshed out, so realistic and I actually kindaI really want to give it like a 5 because it is so buggy on release, the balancing is super weird (played it on very hard and one-hitted nearly every enemy), the boxing quest is a complete desaster and a lot of stuff is just not finished - but I also want to give it a 10 because i can't remember a game I played where the characters were so fleshed out, so realistic and I actually kinda miss some of them, now that I finished the game with 100% and every ending. It was a wild 90 hour ride, with lots and lots of bugs but also with so memerable scenes that will stick with me for a while. Kerry on his boat, Campfire with Panam, going to his burial place with Johnny, diving with Judy and BBQ with River - games rarely go as deep and close as Cyberpunk does. I wished they would have released it later and in a better state - but this one will be remembered.… Expand

    The game has a soul a great city to explore and potentially burn a lot of good ideas and love from it's developer it's plagued by poor optimization in all platforms and bugs when all that fixed is easily an 8 and with all the dlcs a 9
    7 for now avoid if you have the base Ps4/Xbox one
    unless if you are planning going next gen soon the next gen upgrades aren't out yet only boost modes

    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.
