    Cyberpunk is sort of ok, I guess, but I wish they had made The Witcher 4 instead.

    An honest review from someone who loved the Witcher 3 and completed Cyberpunk 2077.

    An honest review from someone who loved the Witcher 3 and completed Cyberpunk 2077.

    I promised I would alter this review once I have played through, and I have a few things to add.

    First of all, I'm usually a completionist (Ghost of Tsushima, Witcher 3, God of War) but I finished the game here after roughly 48 hours. With some side gigs done (not very interesting but gives eddies), all side quests and all main quests. This is, honestly, very short for an open world "RPG".
    I heard it from someone else before, that it's short, but I didn't believe it until I played it. I personally can't fathom how another youtuber accumulated 120 hrs, because I have no interest in clearing out the map - it's just not interesting enough past the side and main quests.

    PROS:
    - The main story is witten really well and interesting - and I'm basically playing the game for it.
    - Most of the characters and their backgrounds are enticing (Jackie, Delamain, Johnny Silverhand, Evelyn Parker, Alt, Rogue, Kerry).
    - The graphics are great on a top-end PC (with a 3070 and Ryzen 3900X).
    - The music and soundtrack is top notch, outright amazing.

    CONS:
    - Zombie NPCs / AI and idiotic traffic
    - So much less impactful, quirky and lighthearted side quests in comparison to Witcher 3.
    - The world feels just grim. And bland, and empty. Everything looks very similar, it could just be another American city like Las Vegas.
    - I expected to run into interesting stories randomly while exploring the map, but I haven't yet.
    - Lifepaths don't matter. Even if you come from corpo, you still end up with a weird "V street slang" as if V was meant to just be a streetkid. Past the first 15 minutes your background doesn't really get elaborated on anymore.
    - Customisation: basically non existent.
    - You also rarely get to see your character in cutscenes.
    - Romance: The options are underwhelming to say the least.
    - Too many bugs, considering how much time they had to polish. Which suggests to me they were massively behind in development schedule all along.
    - The ENDING leaves much to be desired. Why? Because a lot of our questions aren't getting answered, no matter which ending you'll get.
    CDPR decided to take you back to where you started before the last mission after you finished the main story, a design choice I absolutely disagree with.
    Ghost of Tsushima did this better; heck even the Witcher 3. I also can't see how they connect here in future DLCS, because the endings you can achieve for V differ greatly.
    - The STORY overall feels very linear, despite the fact you can get a bunch of different outcomes.
    - I don't feel the urge to 100% complete this game or replay it anytime soon. Probably when a paid DLC is out.

    CONCLUSION:

    CDPR is a company that can produce great games, and we all know it. With Cyberpunk, I feel like they shot themselves in the foot announcing release dates that just weren't doable. They hyped up the game too much, and invested an insane amount of money and time into marketing (and Keanu Reeves, as much as I like him) - when they should have laid low and told us "we release it's when it's ready, 2021/2022". This is entirely, and I mean entirely, on the management and leadership (CEO) of CDPR. I assume it was just greed for money, nothing more or less.

    Don't get me wrong. Cyberpunk is a good, enjoyable game if you can run it well, but nothing extraordinary like The Witcher 3.
    It basically plays like it wasn't ready to be released, and a lot of things were rushed. It feels like it got released a year or two too early. They promised us content that just isn't in the game.

    Can it reach that legendary Witcher 3/God of War/Ghost of Tsushima status? I highly doubt it. But it can certainly get a lot better - with additional content which was promised and great new story DLCs.

    And the biggest thing is: Learn from this release. Improve.

    if you plan to play the game and haven't bought it yet wait for 3 months till they patch some stuff. Personally i liked the game, found the world interesting, some characters were well fleshed out, others like that bar woman not so. I also have the feeling that they removed some stuff here and there. Just a feeling though from the various dialogues here and there.

    Bugs, yeah this game needed more time in the oven but the corporats behind cdpr wanted it out now.

    My main beef with this game is the hideous driving, and the fact that no matter where you kill someone you are swarmed with police. Its amazing, even if you are out in the desert and kill someone policemen come outta **** nowhere. It would be better if your crime rating went up and at some point the police came after yuou or something but no. Justice is swift

    Other than that grab a pistol and you can do 50k plus dmg per shot instakilling anything in the game.

    I liked the game but i understand where all the hate comes from. I put a 6 only because it feels rushed out. I am sure when all patches are out and everything else fixed it will be a solid 8.

    If i could turn the clock back i would wait until this game costs 20-30 bucks before buying.

    After so many years of waiting, we got an absolutely broken game, in which almost everything does not work in order to lure the player into the atmosphere of the city and setting, where the city looks absolutely artificial, and the activities on the map are as monotonous as possible.

    However, the production looks really revolutionary compared to other games in this genre. Also

    However, the production looks really revolutionary compared to other games in this genre. Also monotonous STORY tasks are diluted with interesting dialogues. In general, the game was not worth such expectations and it had to be postponed either for a longer period, or the concept should be redone, because 80% of the developers' promises were not fulfilled at all

    I'm calling it quits without completing it after about 50 hours, but I am just not sufficiently interested to see it through to the end when there are so many other games I want to play.

    It has a lot of potential, but lacks soul. Persistent hard crashes every 2 hours or so break immersion pretty badly, and finding it hard to get in to the game as a result. Having fun playing when I do play, but the game is currently not at all what was promised. There is hope yet, but I'd wait a couple of months to see if they can turn it around.

Car driving is awful. Side quests are repetitive, but people say it will be better after the prologue (ended it in 8 hours and will return a bit later).

    The game is half-baked, that's for sure. But even after all the patches and fixes I'm not sure it will be any better that 7-8 of 10.

    Story is pretty good, gun play is good, driving is like on ice 24/7, fps is in the gutter, loot is in a dumpster fire, (don't even know what to say about the loot system) and bugs are currently being shot out back
    literally and figuratively. Then a few more questionable things like nothing reacting to anything and the graphics being trash.

But my problem is how buggy and bad performing it is. There is ugly blury AA which can't be turned off, can barely see eyes and mouth on my face when in 3rd person on motorbike how terrible it is. Would not be such issue if game was running at least at 2k, but on my Gtx 1080Ti it just can't on solid fps. There is no other game I could not run on high at 1440p and have 60-80 fps - here I have to play on medium-high and FHD to have 60 fps and it still drops to 45-50 in some situations. Also mouse movement is not very smooth. I've never seen worse optimized AAA title except GTA 4 release which was the worst...

    Edit
    So after 60+ hours of playtime it's like this for me:

    Atmosphere of the city and this whole cyberpunk world: strong 10/10

    Story: 9/10 (or 8.5/10, hard to decide for me, disliked few things here, but still liked it very much)

    Technical state on my PC: 5/10 (tons of minor bugs, glitches, stupid AI and bad performance even on still quite solid Gtx 1080Ti, but I had no crashes at all and was bugged only twice in those 60 hours to such a degree I had to load last checkpoint because of it)

    Recustomisation options: 0/10 - this is absolutely the weakest part of this game for me, it's basicly non existent - you can't change look of your character, not even hairstyle, hair color or tattoos(WTF, WTF and again WTF- we are in Cyberpunk man, you can replace your organs and whole eyes and you can't change color?!?!?). You also can't hide helmet or transmog one armor skin into another but I could accept this decision of devs even if I don't agree with it. Another problem is recustomisation of playstyle. You can reset perks, but it's mostly for fixing few missplaced talents. The most important thing defining your whole playstyle can't be changed at all, there is no way to re-distribute attributes like intelligence, reflexes etc. So you are telling me that when I am tired of deadly samurai with katana and want to try hacker path, I have to play whole game again? Are you seriously serious? If I want to try 3 different builds I have to play on 3 different saves?!? New game is the only option here, because you can't fully reset and you can't have everything on max lvl...

    ...and that's why I can't go for high rating. There is potential for 10/10 in this game, but it needs some serious tuning. To me it feels like early acces in many ways. I would like to go for at least 8.5/10, because this game really deserves more than 6 or 7, but not right now, not in this state and with so many good features missing.

Outside of the characters and mission structure everything else is “meh”
    The menus are a tire fire to say the least. Trying to figure out how to do something for the first time is just a bunch of random clicking and hoping it will work out. Once you figure something out it is fine, but before then it can be a struggle. The city is very “alive” until you look closer. Besides the 500 shootings that happen in this city, there is not much going on. The premade missions that happen all over are fun and interesting. Some of them have problems but they are minor. Outside of the scripted events there is no sporadic events.
    The game is fun, I enjoy what frustrations have come. Hopefully, over time, they can resolve the small things to make a decent game great.

It will be okay if this game was from small studio and they worked on it for like 1 or 2 years but for a triple a game and we waited for 7 years! and how they promised of a lot of things like “you can finsh the game with only side quests” and lot of promises! it’s just all fake! I wish they just work on quality over quantity, and never spend that big budget on false marketing.
    in the end besides the false marketing the game is not that bad but for all that bugs and fake choices that what kill the experience for me.
    Plus the AI is really bad and when you talk to someone they ether ignore you or just repeat one dialogue! sometimes 2 or 3 bad ones.

    I played a lot of games in my life, always saw people complaining about bugs but never care too much about it. I'm always focused on the gameplay and how much fun the game is, if there are some bugs that's ok I can live with that. But the case with Cyberpunk is different because there are so many bugs that have impacts on gameplay that it ruin your immersion in the game.

That is big trouble in an FPS game just so you know the bug was so bizarre that it messes up my aiming.

    For me, the only thing that is perfect in this game is the graphics if you play on a high-end PC. But the game is poorly optimized so if you don't have a really good PC you should wait for the devs to fix the game.

    I expected so much more from CDPR but is clear that they had big ambitions for this game and they lost themselves trying to deploy their ideas.

I am so disappointed by the AI. The world feels so lifeless. **** GTA Vice City feels more alive, it may not look that good but at least when i point my gun at a civilian in a car they drive off. The enemy AI is borderline free mobile gaming tier garbage.

    The gunplay can be satisfying at times but that is like 10% of the combat. The enemies are just bullet sponges that do millions of damage (on hard difficulty) and the enemy variety is trash. But its an RPG game so ill let it slide.

    Driving feels wonky, it feels like Spintires except im not in a 3 ton truck going though 6 feet deep mud instead im a racecar on asphalt. It feels weird, like im lagging, its not responsive and snappy at all (as a racing game enthusiast this was an another disappointment, i know what good driving mechanics feel like and this is far from it).

    I thought this game would be RDR2 level of breaking into new grounds and setting an example but this is such an inferior game to RDR2 its not even funny.

    Im giving it a 6/10 cause i still want to give it a chance. I almost dropped it after being utterly frustrated with glitches **** up my gameplay and ways i wanted to do levels. I still didnt finish the game so thats why ill leave it at 6/10. For now my experience is 4/10

    Performance isn't too bad, it's reasonably smooth running, but with slow downs and stuttering.

    It would've been better if they had just delayed the release by 6 months and then had a high quality release, but I guess they'd already sold so many pre-orders that it wasn't an option.

    This isn't a bad game though by any stretch of the imagination, I'm having a lot of fun playing it, customising my character, trying different weapons and attachments, choosing my cyberware and using hacks. I just wish it was more of an RPG.

Pas étonnant pour ce titre qui donne sans arrêt l'illusion d'être ce qu'il n'est pas. Déception et étrange sensation d'être pris pour un imbécile. Attendez qu'il soit terminé et bradé à 40€ avant de l'acheter même si aucun patch ne pourra corriger ses plus gros défauts. Expand

    First of all let me just say Night City looks absolutely beautiful! The side missions and the main story are wonderful to play through and certain aspects of the combat are really fun especially smart weapons that can bend projectile bullets and target enemies over walls, tech weapons that charge up and fire laser beams and quickhacking to devastate groups of enemies.

The side missions and the main story are wonderful to play through and certain aspects of the combat are really fun especially smart weapons that can bend projectile bullets and target enemies over walls, tech weapons that charge up and fire laser beams and quickhacking to devastate groups of enemies. But that's pretty much where the good stuff stops and the negative aspects of Cyberpunk 2077 starts showing it's disappointments and flaws.

    1.) Terrible AI overall in the entire game especially from the cops

    2.) No random encounters in the city (Not counting marked points of interest already on the map) I was expecting random gang shootings, raids on buildings from NCPD, random events happening just by driving around. So far ive played 60 hours and only witnessed one random shooting event that wasn't tied to a mission, it involved security guards and Militech shooting at each other which was cool but I was expecting more random events occurring frequently outside of missions.

    3.) No interactions whatsoever with normal everyday NPC's (Besides shop owners) It's just one line sentences when you talk to people. Mission related NPC's have a **** ton more to say to you but when it comes to pedestrian's don't even bother because all they do is keep walking around like zombies. The only time they do something different is when you fire a gun and then they either just run away or cower in crouch mode forever. For Night City looking beautiful in terms of the environment it actually feels quite dead since nothing is happening outside of mission's.

    4.) The police wanted system is terrible, you kill somebody and in a matter of 2 seconds and you are swarmed by like 10 cops and they shoot you to death out of nowhere. You can escape the cops and lose the stars but just by running away or driving down the road you can completely lose the cops which is VERY unrealistic.

    5.) Very limited on character creation, I can change my junk size but I can't change if I want to be fat or small. Which I understand might have to do with keeping in terms of the main story and such but I just wish we were given more freedom on character creation.

    6.) No way to customize cars that you own? Seriously? No way to buy your own property or have a garage? Seriously? No way for you to have a proper romance system? Seriously? (Witcher 3 sex scenes were better imo). No way to join factions, destroy factions or have more missions tied to the depths of certain factions? Seriously?

    Overall I was VERY underwhelmed playing this game and that's saying it nicely, yes mission's tied to the friends you make along the way were very good and the main story was good but after that you're stuck with basic fetch me this, fetch me that quests. I was also getting random phone calls from people asking me to do a job for them and it felt very out of place because I had no idea who the hell these people were so it basically meant nothing to me. I swear like 10+ random people call me for jobs and im like ok cool but why do I care?

    It felt like a huge portion of the systems and concepts was cut out due to development decisions and costs? I'm not sure but it DEFINITELY shows. I was expecting a lot more from the game that's been in development for so long from CDPR. I'm disappointed but I have been enjoying the game for what it is. 6/10 it would probably be lower due to the bugs and glitches but I didn't encounter many. The game as of right now is poorly optimized though across the board!

    This game is a solid 6 at best, been running it on a good rig, performance was not an issue for me.
    - false advertising on content
    - most advertised choices are not important in any way, the biggest dissapointment was the nomad/street kid/corpo choice which did not matter - clearly non existent mechanics (we're not implemented or we're cut in the end) - there is nothin revolutionary in

    - there is nothin revolutionary in this game, there are games from 2004 that are still more fun to play than this
    - the animations are so horrible if they are not scripted cutscenes, it's tough to watch
    - no amount of patches/fixes will get it over a 7 unless they make a completely different story like Blood and Wine expansion
    - this game feels like an early access only the sad part is that I played lots of indie early access games that would not dare make their game public with completely missing AI features, they would at least do a best effort.

    - Une map pour le moins illisible, des centaines de points d'intérêts sur un fond noir/rouge ... Bref pas très fluide
    -Une mni map mal foutue, vous louperez 1/2 les sorties car visibles trop tard. Plus galère que ça en à l'air, je vous assure.
    - un GTA futuriste. Comme nous tous, j'adore GTA, mais j'attendais avec CP77 une claque, que je n'ai jamais vraiment reçue.
    - Des combats faiblards. c'est mou et très peu intense la plupart du temps (avec le combo de l'IA, on est au top).

    Alors voilà, après 8 ans de développement, et ce qu'on nous a promis, je trouve que CDPR est loin du compte.
    Oui c'est un bon jeu, mais avec des défauts que l'on n'a pas le droit d'occulter.
    Le jeu n'est tout simplement pas fini, et mérite d'innombrables améliorations. Et je ne parle pas de "luxe", mais juste de bon sens pour qu'un jeu soit correct.

    Et je passe sur l'escroquerie publique PS4/xbox one ... Abusé.
    J'en profite pour répondre à ceux qui disent: "C'est de la faute des joueurs, ils pouvaient s'y attendre en lançant un jeu 2020 sur une console sortie en 2013"...
    Argument flingué => D'une part, je joue à CP77 sur un très bon PC, et il est loooiinnnn d'être parfait techniquement. Et d'autre part, s'il ne tournait pas bien sur ces consoles, bah fallait juste pas le sortir dessus ... Quoi ? le parc PS4 c'est 120 millions de machines ??? Ah ok, je savais pas... bien vu CDPR.

I have had 3 CTDs, and have had to load 70-100 times due to bugs and glitches. The city looks good and has a lot of attitude, the factions are diverse, you can tell time went into this. However this game was not ready for a full release. It is a decent sized and well filled out game world that feels surprisingly dead other then interaction with main plot line cast. There is minimal interaction with NPCs, which is mostly them screaming and running into the street to be run over by your wildly un-controllable car which feels like it has a small metal post under it where it turns from. The melee combat is ... well its crap. The shooting feels spot on but it’s not that hard to make a decent shooter these days.
    The AI is mostly stupid, they just hide behind crates and pop up to shoot once in a while and rarely flank, it is very easy to just skirt the edge of a combat zone and shoot in. If you spec'd in the tech tree you can shoot through cover. Like a buildings worth of it. I am on hard difficultly if that makes a difference to anyone. Also most of my deaths have been from something i didn't see near me exploding, as EVERY combat zone is littered with explosive tanks, generators and vehicles.
    When you have had enough combat and feel like driving around and exploring pick a slow car with good breaks, otherwise, well get used to your car lifting off the ground while cornering, or hitting a small bump, or going up or down hill.
    Overall if you really want to play through it in the current state its playable on pc if you don’t mind a lot of bugs, but would be much better a few months down the line with bug fixes, lots of QOL updates and the rest of the game mechanics in and functioning. This is very clearly a kick it out the door the shareholders want a big Q4 for more $$$ we will deal with in it post.

The draw distance is good, but there is some really significant pop-in, which is most noticeable when travelling in a car or on a bike.

    The difference in how much time was spent on the main and side characters versus the NPCs is also very obvious and quite jarring. Main characters such as Jackie Welles, Judy Alvarez, etc are all very detailed and have clearly been given a lot of time and effort, but your average citizen of Night City is quite low detail and quite often I'd see exact replica NPCs standing next to each other in a crowd.

    Beyond the graphics I think there are some real problems with this game, and the worrying thing is that some of it is probably beyond fixing. There are a lot of bugs and minor issues, such as clipping, items floating in mid-air, cars sinking into the floor, etc, all of which will be fixed in updates. Beyond that there are problems with a lack of interaction with your average NPC, and a physics engine that is poor even when compared to the 7 year old GTAV. However, for me the biggest problem is that this game seems to only superficially be an RPG. Yes, the game features stats, character attributes that you can unlock and mods that can be applied to guns to change the damage output, but beyond the first 15-20 minutes none of the dialogue choices really seem to make a difference to the outcome of game events, which is a major issue for an RPG. At the start of the game you choose between playing as Nomad, Street Kid or Corpo. Sometimes in dialogue you'll get a different choice pop up depending on which character start you chose, but ultimately none of it seems to make a difference to the outcome of the conversation.

    I feel like CP2077 has a really cool setting, with a nicely designed if quite shallow city, and the graphics can be really impressive at times, but ultimately I think the game is really disappointing.

    If only the devs could have finished the great work they were doing...we sure would not mind to wait more if that results in a great game! Because this Cyberpunk 2077 was aiming to be it.

There also might be a memory leak issue? Had to reboot the game to fix my FPS after several hours.

    The AI in the game is terrible, NPCs walk away and phase out of the game. Even happens with named NPCs, like the bouncer outside Lizzie's Bar. Nothing like what the devs claimed of "over 1,000 unique NPCs that have their own unique daily routines." Another example is when it comes to the police, they just spawn right behind you when you're wanted.

    Onto the intro and choosing your lifepath, it seemingly ends within 30 or so minutes. I thought it was a major decision that was supposed to affect your game but you suddenly get a timeskip and you're already settled in in Night City. I've seen instances where you get additional dialogue options but they don't seem to have any consequences so far. Nothing more than filler.

    An improvement can also be made for various QOL features, such as being able to change your character's appearance (hair, tattoos, etc) after the character creation, ability to toggle walk on keyboard, minimap being too zoomed in to the point it's almost useless. Furthermore, the inability to rebind certain keys is also ridiculous on PC and not being able to change more specific settings such as sensitivity for aiming.

    Looking at gameplay and more specifically stealth combat (as that is what I've currently spec'd as), it seems more like an after-thought. When you're hiding behind wast-high cover you may as well not be, because all enemies can see you anyway. Also when you're crouching, a lot of the time you end up dodging when trying to make minor positioning adjustments (unless you rebind the keys in the ini file), which then reveals you to the enemies.
    Additionally driving doesn't feel good either. This might be subjective, but the driving is overly sensitive. I have more trouble keep the car straight and not crashing than anything else.

    I love the world, the atmosphere and the game feels good when it works. But the problem is a lot of the time there's things that take you out of the game, whether it's bad performance, visual bugs or poor AI (such as when you're talking to NPCs for a quest and other NPCs just walk inbetween you several times). Wait for the game to be patched, and I mean several patches before buying. The game is very reminiscent of Witcher 3's initial release.

    The game delivers an incredible atmosphere, I don't think anyone can disagree on that. The characters you're following, the city in which everything takes place is (by design) a masterpiece.

    The game delivers an incredible atmosphere, I don't think anyone can disagree on that. The characters you're following, the city in which everything takes place is (by design) a masterpiece. However the beauty of the city is just a facade. Hidden behind that is a lifeless feeling that you wouldn't have expected from a studio like CDPR.

    Sure some scripted districts feel alive, but the general open world experience does not. You can increase the population density as much as you like, but your game will never reach the desired "alive" feeling that a game like RDR2 has. The soundtrack is really impressive. It sets up the tone perfectly. The characters and their writing and voice acting is superb. Easily my favorite part of the game.

    This game lacks serious core gameplay mechanics. Everything from the Gear system, customization, the quickhacking, the character progress through skill trees etc. Everything is so incredibly lackluster. It feels as if they only put the bare minimum of work into these major factors.

    I finished the game at around level 27. I did the major side quests and a few things here and there. 70%, if not more of the skill tree is left unexplored for me because of how hard it is to level. You really have to grind side activities to get that skill tree going. A lot of the skill tree is uninteresting though.

    Same goes with the weapons. I mostly stuck to playing revolver with a silencer and a sniper or something as a main weapon. I wasn't a fan of the tech or smart technology.

    Quickhacks felt meaningless. Didn't see a point in them when I could just take out dozens of enemies in stealth with my revolver alone. Even watch dogs did this better and if Ubisoft did something better than you.. well sorry to say but you messed up.

    I could go on and talk about the atrocious AI and the non existent traffic/police system. But enough people have already done that.

    I don't know what went wrong with this game. It really shouldn't have been released for another year at least. Sorting out all the bugs and fleshing out the system more would have made this game so so much better.

    I'm sure I will revisit the game in the future. I hope that they fixed some of the issues by then. (probably not though)

    Let me start off by saying that Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece of storytelling.
    The story, fairly, starts off pretty slow. Other than that, the characters, the plot are amazing.

Night City is the best city I have ever seen in a video game, shoulder to shoulder with Los Santos. The Music is absolutely fantastic in the game and I simply was driving around and listening to the radio. The driving, for a studio that has never done it before, is awesome!
    Oh Boy...now the bugs. Hardly ten minutes pass without a bug. The Enemy AI is dumb as hell, the Physics are non existent and there are a lot of bugs like your motorcycle being stuck in the street. There are some game breaking bugs, but not so often, and it crashed like 7 or 8 times in 6 hours and it can't even be Constant 60 FPS, on a good PC. This game should have been delayed to march 2021 or something.

    In Overall, the game is fantastic when it works. But right now, it does not. The Execs of CDPR should be punished in forcing the Devs to release the game in this year. I am 100% sure that CDPR will fix the Game in 2021. But, it will impact further CDPR Sales, because right now, this game is far from acceptable on PC. I heard it is even worse on consoles. So, if you are reading this, do not buy the game yet. Buy it in February once it is fixed, and if you have it, get a refund.

But more and more it felt like its missing somesthing. Like even the story was rushed and cut in some aspects. Also bc i think it was rushed, how you play the game has nearly no impact on the story, which is just sad for such a game and not nearly that what was promised. The sotry was great at times but after a while it felt boring at times and like sth is missing. ---->6/10

    2. Graphics: I played on a high end pc and had few bugs and glitches. But i had them. But i love the raphics the neon and cyberpunk style. ----> 9/10

    3. Music: For me a big part that made this game enjoyable at time was the music. Driving around to never fade away or the music scenes where you played as johnny were just great. ---> 10/10

    4. Open World/ Ai: Well, here it goes downhill. I focused mainly on the story but even i couldnt ignore the bad Open world and ai. You cant literally do anything and the Ai of police and civillians are just rushed coding and well trash. The Ai of the npcs are out of this world bad. I actually never saw sth that bad. I wouldnt care that much, bc as i said i mostly focused on the story. But the problem is here that cdpr promised sth completly different! maybe i change my opinion with more updates but that was bad. I gice 1 points for enjoyable tv and radio sequiences. ----> 1/10

    5. Gameplay/rpg: I have to stay that i mostly enjoyed the gameplay. But many of it was cut which is sad and the crafting system is absolute crap and useless. Which was a bummer since i went techie. Also most skillpoints were pretty useless and there also were some which were standing for cut gameplay options which just shows again how rushed this game was. But anyway it had some cool features and nothing is perfect. I rly hope they overhaul the gameplay and the rpg elements in this game tho.. (and add cut gameplay options). At the moment tho 6/10

    All in all i had an enjoyable experience at times, but was also dissapointed in more than one way. But this game has potential.

    Let's start with the obvious. This game should have been delayed for at least a couple more months, though I understand this was not a possibility due to investors and other variables.

This game should have been delayed for at least a couple more months, though I understand this was not a possibility due to investors and other variables. The game is very buggy, with plenty of visual bugs, poor performance on lower-end machines, and crashes. This game was originally set to release in April of 2020. I have absolutely no idea what executive or who thought this game would be ready by then. I can't even imagine how buggy the game was 8 months ago. While CDPR has a great track record with fixing bugs after release, we cannot allow "release now fix later" to become the standard for game studios. In a couple months most of the issues will be fixed, and performance will be better but that's not the point.

    While this is a PC review, the blatant dishonesty by CDPR executives and marketing is inexcusable and can not be ignored. I do not see how people are defending them and making excuses for them. Not giving reviewers console codes, not showing base PS4 or Xbox One gameplay, and lying to investors saying base console performance is "surprisingly good" is ridiculous. If they would have been honest, came out and said the game wasn't ready for release, and performance on base consoles wasn't good but will be fixed, people would still have been mad but a lot of people would've respected the honesty. But they didn't do that.

    Looking past the bugs, the game is good. Gunplay is fine for an RPG, better than expected but still just average. RPG systems are average. There is not much depth in the perk system. Driving is just fine. The menu and keybinds for certain actions are clunky. Instead of using the industry-standard key for interacting with objects as E, they decided to use F and it can't be changed. The crouch key and skip dialogue key are both set to C by default. There are a lot of quality of life features I assume will be implemented in future updates.

    You would think that since you can summon your vehicles to you with the press of the button that there would be some kind of autopilot to destination feature that would allow you to take in the beauty of the city. This isn't the case though. I assume this is because of the poor driving AI. NPC drivers will often get stuck at crosswalks and have poor situational awareness. I would have liked to see this feature so I could enjoy the city. While on PC crowd density can be set to high, and comes very close to the 2018 gameplay trailer in levels of density, upon further look you see it comes at a cost. They look great from afar but walk among them and you'll realize they're just soulless robots with no awareness, far from the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2s NPCs (RDR2). The civilian AI & wanted/police system is a joke. Attack a civilian and instead of running or fighting back they just sit in a fetal position indefinitely. Police will spawn out of nowhere. All you have to do is run down the street and they'll forget about you. Rockstar has been doing it better than this for years. In RDR2 entire sections of the map will have a bounty for you and people will even come after you to claim that bounty. Lack of impact is very jarring in comparison to games like RDR2 & Fallout New Vegas (released 10 years ago and only took 18 months to develop) where there's an entire reputation system.

    Voice acting for most characters is good, not as good as the Witcher 3. This is a personal preference but the male voice actor for V is just not good. It's often over the top and lacks range/emotion. This could be to the direction he was given, but that idea falls apart because the female voice actor is much better. His voice is more suited for a side character, not a leading protagonist. I'd recommend using the feminine voice option even if you don't typically play feminine characters. I wasn't a fan of Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand. I do not feel his voice matches the character. This is also pretty subjective and he was still a highlight of the game for me.

    The graphics on PC max settings are phenomenal. This is truly our first look at what a next-gen open-world game can be. Unfortunately only top of the line hardware will get you this experience. Even then, on high or medium settings the game still looks good enough (ON PC).

    The game pulls a Last of Us Part II and kills off a character that you barely get time to connect with. It then has the audacity to have an entire funeral quest dedicated to this character you barely spent 2 hours with. There are a few sentences of dialogue that tell you a little about the character and their desires and then boom they're dead.

    The story took a while to hook me. I assume most people won't even make it far into the story because of the issues listed above. It's ok. It's not the best story ever told but it's also not the worst. I liked Witcher 3's more. It tackles the ideas from the Cyberpunk genre well. More needs to be said but I'm at my character limit so that's it.

    Story and sidestory are in some cases top notch. Gameplay is mediocre. Bugs are still there, a ton of them (1.22). Luckily there is nexusmods for PC users. Night City sadly feels a little empty and there is SO SO much unused potential. Will edit my rating when there's been further patches and DLC.

    Pros:
    City and characters design, beautiful graphics.

    Story and quests (overall).

    Sound and music.

    Cons:
    Terrible, terrible AI especially for cars and police; city feels fake and immersion breaking because of that.
    The AI looks like straight from GTA: SA, which is mind you 16 years old game, that is nothing like RDR2 and Watchdogs 2 in comparison,

    Lifepaths are useless, lacking proper introductory quests, which leads to lack of connection with the character
    and ruins the immersion.
    It feels like 6 to 8 hours of introductory gameplay are missing for each lifepath before we even met Jackie and begin current prologue, also "Jackie and V in night city cinematics" should be done as real quests.

    My vision is at minimum 6 hours of unique prologue for each lifepath + 10 hours of current prologue where V and Jackie sequence replaced by quests.

    Overall a good game yet nothing spectacular.

    I hope CDPR will be brave enough to redesign AI from scratch and adds proper lifepaths prologues in future DLC's.

    In General, according to the facts. From the pros, the game has a beautiful world! Yes, the atmosphere is just great! The Director's work in the story missions is also well done. Just watch an expensive and beautiful movie.
    Of the minuses, the ending of the plot was unpleasantly surprised (this is a subjective opinion). RPG game can not be called. Almost complete absence of non-linearity and variability. In fact, the game turned into a first-person shooter. The open world is not alive, but what is there, it is just terrible. The game is terribly short (which is very bad for an AAA scale). Towards the end of the game, the plot is too chaotic.
    According to the result. At the moment, this is an extremely raw product. Yes, most likely the game will be finished and brought to mind, but at the moment it is 6 points out of 10.

    The world of Cyberpunk is perhaps one of the best looking one's I've ever seen. Although it is not as "open" as I would like it to be it is still one hell of a masterpiece. The story itself also is a good point about this game, however I do wish that the missions would be more indepth. And thats when we come to the critism already actually.

    And thats when we come to the critism already actually.

    This game was supposed to be an open world RPG, To me it feels less then an RPG then Outer Worlds, and way less open world then GTA. Which sucks because the world it self is beautifull and I wish there was a reason to stay longer.

    Most of the characters in the game are very intresting, yet though the amount of "interaction" with all the other side characters feels barely enough. There is no real RPG in between the characters besides some text messages.

    Choices you make are of little influence beside some choices which is a shame.

    The AI is perhaps one of the most retarded things I've ever seen and needs a complete overhaul. This counts for police and citizens in Night City. Also it lacks alot of depth in just to many aspects to all write down here.

    However I'm hopefull for this game (therefore the high rating) I believe that if this game will get some good major patches, lots of love and attention from CD Projekt Red, and more time... Alot of more time. This game can be one good single player game, and for the multiplayer... Man oh man am I curious.

    TL DR:
    Good looking game, but it isnt what it was promoted to be nor really great. Good story however.

    Le plus grave selon moi c'est l'aspect RPG du jeu qui n'est pas à la hauteur, que ce soit dans les mécaniques de jeu mais surtout dans le roleplay tout court au final.

    Par exemple: Je voulais jouer un rigger, un techos capable de fabriquer et contrôler des drones/robots. Impossible. Bon, ok, je vais me contenter d'être un techos qui fabrique des grosses armes légendaires (des armes uniques accessibles de cette façon ? Non plus). C'est inutile. J'ai passé la moitié de ma partie à monter mes compétences en fabrication pour rien tant la quantité de loots épique / légendaire rend cette branche de compétences inutile. Grosso modo mes compétences en ingénierie m'ont permis d'ouvrir des portes (sans animations) et d'avoir une ou deux lignes de dialogues sans impact concret.

    Bon ben au final j'ai mis un petit coup de cheat engine pour m'acheter une puce elle aussi inutile tant elle est hors de prix pour pouvoir me respécialiser avant qu'il ne me reste plus que deux quêtes et explorer d'autres pistes... Donc j'ai découvert comment one shot n'importe quoi en mode furtif et j'ai pu constater les incroyables lacunes de l'IA (pour n'en citer qu'une, un ennemi difficile est tout aussi con qu'un ennemi facile mais il va juste être un plus gros sac à PV et vous rentrer beaucoup plus de dégâts, c'est ce que j'appelle de la difficulté superficielle).

    En fait si vous voulez, vous pouvez tout aussi bien vous dire que votre personnage est un vendeur de beignets sur jig-Jig Street qui est un mercenaire sur son temps libre et vous aurez la même satisfaction à l'issue de la quête principale. Ce que vous êtes dans ce jeu, c'est votre ressenti à vous. Le jeu ne vous donne pas les cartes pour le vivre vraiment.

    Je mets 6 au lieu de 5 parce que j'y joue sur une config basse, je surnote un peu donc en m'imaginant l'expérience de jeu sur une meilleure machine.

    I waited 8 years for cyberpunk and whilst clearly the game did not live up to the hype, it's still an incredibly enjoyable experience. It's just so unfortunate that the launch overall was unacceptable.

    Graphics:
    The game even on medium settings is quite pretty. My hardware defaults to high preset for some reason but even from that and seeing the rtx stuff, the game looks phenomenal on those settings. Night City is such an exciting environment to explore and one of my favourite aspects of the game is just driving around and taking in the atmosphere. Just be warned on low the game looks quite flat and given the launch performance, that's how most people who don't have the latest high end hardware will have to experience the game. Plus it can take a while for the engine to load in textures on occasion leading to that heavily memed ps1 aesthetic (though I have to admit I find it oddly charming). Some people have also complained about substandard effects like bullet decals on water but that's relatively minor for me personally.

    Sound:
    The soundtrack has a nice mix of genre's (especially the radio's) with a mix of ambient electronic, metal/punk, rap and more aggressive techno. Go listen to the Pacific Dreams station, it's fantastic. Weapon and vehicle sounds are pretty okay, nothing ground breaking. I have noticed however that audio can occasionally disappear from guns due to bugs.

    Story:
    I won't go into any spoilers and I haven't completed the final mission but from what i've played so far I've enjoyed the story quite a lot. Apart from the irony of corporate exploitation being the central point and cdpr forcing staff to do 6 months straight of over time, the game handles mature topics extremely well and hit me in the feels. As someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety, I felt that particular topic was well handled. However, I've noticed some dialogue that just doesn't work when asking every single question in the dialogue tree and even though keanu reeves is godtier, I find some of Johnny's writing in particular, lacklustre. In addition, a lot of side quests have perceived choice where in reality, their is only one actual outcome.

    Gameplay.
    Shooting stuff is fun, Driving is fun, Melee combat is clumsy, Augmenting yourself is neat since (especially the powered jump). Basically think open world sandbox Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Unfortunately I feel the game misses the bar in terms of being an immersive sim but I'm not 100% that's what the devs were going for. I've had friends also complain that other than quests the world is quite barren.

    Performance & Bugs
    Pre 1.05 the game was awful. I've had people say the game runs fine for them but completely discredit those who've had a less than stellar experience. It's not that it's unplayable for me, but it was for some pals and I feel that the overall experience was diminished from having to lower graphics, deal with inconsistent fps, crashes and a plethora of bugs such as broken UI elements, getting locked into place needing a reset, broken physics, gun models disappearing, enemies floating and t-posing away during cutscenes, I could go on. It's also important to mention that I had specs above the recommended for high with no raytracing. At launch I had to keep the game to mid-low with still some frame drops due to poor optimisation, especially in some areas like outside the apartment, chinatown and japantown. Sometimes frames would just die for no reason and stay that way until I reset the entire system. Other times I had to hard reset my pc because the game just randomly locked up everything.

    Ethics:
    This game was built on false advertising, abuse of the development team and severe mismanagement. I find that poignant to mention for some folk.

    TLDR: A fun game that doesn't live up to the hype. It looks pretty if you can run it but it launched buggy as hell and the devs were hella shady. I would have rated it an 8 if I hadn't of noticed most of the things are done better in other games and it didn't launch so naff.

    A buggy mess with a sprinkling of a story. I have had to restart 3 times in probably 4 hours of gameplay due to 3 different bugs.

    One of the biggest studios, biggest budget, 7 years in development and this is what they come out with. We shouldnt have to have a £1,500 PC to be able to play this. I play on PS5 and it still visually resembles an early PS4 gen game. The art style is its saving grace, without that its full of flat lifeless textures.

    Al di là dei problemi tecnici che sono solo la punta dell'iceberg di una carente gestione aziendale siamo passati da un capolavoro assoluto di originalità che è stato The Witcher 3 ad una banale rivisitazione come tante di un futuro distopico. Un misto di vari generi che gli sviluppatori non sono riusciti appieno a fondere assieme.

They said, GTA 4 was released in 2008 and that it had more depth than this game. I unfortunately agree. I didn't get over hyped, I knew after the second delay it was going to be a buggy mess than would likely crash and burn but I was hopeful I could get some enjoyment out of it still despite that; I also wanted to support one of the first games to try and meaningfully include trans characters in the game as I believe expanding gaming and making it more inclusive to others is extremely beneficial to the industry and making good change in acceptance in the world of people different from others. Now here is my summary of my experience so far, I have not 100% finished the game yet but I am about half way through and have watched gameplay of the rest as I was worried I wouldn't even finish the game I was getting so bored and tired of the combat. As of right now, I am still playing the game though and have about 27 hours played so far and I will expect at least 50 hours played by the end of my playthrough if I do all the side missions I plan on doing.

    First up is the bugs, its the easiest and most obvious thing everyone is going to criticize. The game doesn't just have bugs, the game has so many glitches and problems that I don't even think 3 months of 60 gb patches will have it fixed still. Its that bad. Now it is totally playable on PC and I heard newer gen consoles play it fine as well, but it's still buggy like you wouldn't believe. I'm talking bushes X-raying through 15 buildings to sit in the middle of the person you're talking to's face the entire cutscene, people not loading in for about 10 seconds and looking like giant texture-less blobs until then, mouths not moving when anyone talks in major cutscenes, NPCs walking through objects and sending them flying at the speed of sound all over the room, you walking down a flight of stairs sending you jetting across the level like a speed runner in the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, enemies hacking you through walls infinitely damaging you even in cover, and more. Its not going to be an easy fix and will take them a year or two to work these bugs out assuming they even keep players long enough to see that day come. But this isn't enough to stop most people, heck, it didn't even stop me.

    The gameplay: I didn't expect much going in, I knew it wasn't going to be Call of Duty smooth shooting or anything, but holy hell if it isn't some of the worst combat I've ever seen in a first person game. The melee weapons feel completely unusable as there is no real decent movement in your base character outside of a tiny little dash and your normal run speed. So using katanas and knives feels like garbage and has no power too it as it has zero feedback or movement with each swing so you feel like you're just flailing your arms like a kid who just got a VR headset. The gun gameplay I expected to hopefully at minimum match something like Destiny or Borderlands since they were very similar games in the same genre but they couldn't even get close to that. In the beginning you just fight into enemies that are massive bullet sponges until you get a couple missions in and start picking up decent weapons or just turn the difficulty down in frustration. The talent and perk system is super convoluted and is nothing but passives, but those passives are horribly required to do anything or have any fun at all with any weapons in the game. The base combat feels like garbage and the only chance you get to have fun with the weapons you might want to use is when you're 30 levels down into a tree and finally get an extra 30% movement speed or so to run at enemies faster with the katanas or when you get that headshot and crit chance bonuses to make pistols take enemies out faster. Additionally, all the weapons in the game have so much recoil and movement when shooting that aiming is totally impossible, you would think futuristic guns would have less recoil and not 18x more than anything you ever imagined possible. Its like shooting automatic elephant guns at the enemy and the aimer is bouncing all around them the entire time. Its just absolutely abysmal and I can't believe people who play tested it thought it was good enough for release. People even saw the early gameplay for it and said it looked bad yet they didn't change it and fanboy Witcher fan drones dismissed it as some 4d chess move that the combat would be fixed by launch. It wasn't and its terrible. My friend played the game for 10 minutes and refunded it because it was so bad. I don't blame them, it gets better, but by "better," I mean its just tolerable enough that I can stomach through it to complete the game.

    I'm out of characters so I can't even go on about the hollow themepark this game is, it looks like an open world but its just a short themepark story w/ side missions and nothing to do outside those. The dialogue is great but the endings leave you wanting more.

On the level of a PS2, which makes the gameplay fully loaded. Whoever gives the game a 10 is out of sheer fanaticism. It's not a bad game, but they sold us the game of the decade, and there are like 30 better games in the last two years alone.

But than after that first 5 hours, the game gets boring real fast. When you first open up the map, you are overwhelmed by the amount of markers and waypoints sprawling across the map. But than you realize it's only 3 fetch quest, dotted all over the map, with a couple of side missions here and there. The story is pretty decent, but not good enough to pull me in. The game looks gorgeous and night city looks incredible, but underneath the glowing lights and bustling buildings you see and empty game with no soul. NPS's are stupid, struggling to even walk in a straight line. Instead of getting into high speed police chases, like in GTA 5, police just spawn behind you. They don't even use their cars, so if you commit a crime, you can just drive away and wait for them to stop spawning. It is an extremely disappointing game that is leagues below The Witcher 3. Hopefully CD Project Red learns from their mistakes, and starts making good games again. A man can only dream. Expand

On the other hand Night City is just breathtaking it is clear from the moment you enter the open world that CDPR really put a lot of effort in the making of Night City. Driving is good to some it will be bad but it is solid, combat is also pretty good but a word of warning to all you out there how have played Tom Clancy's The Division you now what I'm talking about. Hacking is also not to bad. All in all the game on PC is good, there are some pretty good aspects of the game and some need more time polishing.

    It’s hard to talk about Cyberpunk out of context. It was what felt like the most hyped game ever at the time of release and one of the hardest disappointments and PR disasters in the industry shortly after. But even if the bold and dishonest advertisements are ignored, the game doesn’t even leave up to the expectations it sets itself.

    It’s hard to talk about Cyberpunk out of context. It was what felt like the most hyped game ever at the time of release and one of the hardest disappointments and PR disasters in the industry shortly after. But even if the bold and dishonest advertisements are ignored, the game doesn’t even leave up to the expectations it sets itself.

    Right from the start, the character creation menu greets you confidently by presenting a lot of choices in your appearance and a choice of the background. Really enticing! But the former choices turn out to be quite slim, while the latter one doesn’t really contribute much throughout your playthrough. And the letdowns don’t end there. Everything, from the quality of quests to the progression systems, from the driving to how rich the city environment you drive through is, ultimately fails to deliver on the first impression it makes. Everything you engage with sooner or later turns out to be much shallower than expected, undercooked, or just broken.

    For me, the biggest disappointment was the equipment. In itself, it’s a system that inspires you to get into a certain look, follow a cool style direction, cherish your newfound awesome guns - up to the point when you realize it’s a looter shooter, so guns last for about an hour, while armor stat of your clothes makes no sense and if you play to win, you’ll soon look like a clown-hobo hybrid, flexing a Versace blazer on top of your grandmother’s boxers. And things don’t get better when the equipment comes in contact with other systems: I was the most excited in the game by quite a margin when I finally managed to buy the double-jump implant, but it turns out that there’s not much to do on the rooftops: they’re usually quite ugly and the game doesn’t consider them to be an important part of your exploration. A letdown again.

    And it’s like with the double-jump thing throughout the whole game: Cyberpunk invites you to make your own way, but it’s really only ready to support a narrow, expected playstyle. It wants you to do its missions, to go through locations within a certain path it nudges you into. A safe path. The one where Night City looks good, its citizens feel alive and things don’t break (as much). You can’t choose your own adventure, you have to play V’s. And V’s story together with Johnny Silverhand isn’t bad at all, it’s one of the strongest parts of the game, but I feel like letting you experience it in a more linear, controlled, and directed way, as the game clearly wants you to anyway, would be a better decision than to put up a flimsy facade of an uninspired, broken and dead open world.

    Music is cool, tho. And so is art direction, and some quality-of-life features. People clearly worked hard at the game and I don’t want to rob them of their due credit. They just lacked the time and, unfortunately, the vision. And even CDPR is still able to provide the former, I don’t see how they could redeem themselves for not having the latter.

    Cyberpunk was a wasted opportunity, the first 5-6 hours of this game are really good but after that the game loses everything that was promised to be.

I'm extremely disappointed by the way this game runs on my computer. To make matters worse: lots of bugs, both of visual and audio nature are regularly encountered.

    The story is great and the characters are very interesting. A lot of effort was clearly put into facial animation and realistic movement. The environments and aesthetics have clearly received a ton of work and careful thought. They are extremely impressive. The combat is passable but stealth and hacking leave a lot to be desired. There exists a great framework to build from, but it seems like this game needed another 6-7 months of further development and refinement. I've enjoyed my time so far, but have been left feeling a bit disappointed in many respects.

    The biggest letdown for me personally is the way the world reacts to the player character. NPC AI is incredibly shallow and doesn't really engage with the player character out in the world. This leaves the gameplay feeling much more hollow than was advertised. The AI drivers don't avoid the player or drive around. 95% of shops and kiosks have no interactivity and pedestrians may as well be not there.

    This game feels empty outside of the main quests, which to their credit, are really fun. Don't go into this game expecting a deep experience, I have found it to be the opposite overall. 6/10 -> a passable, satisfactory experience.

The main plot characters are created insanely beautiful, body modifications and implants are disturbing, some locations are beautiful. Cutscenes pressing into the chair. So what?

Many promised things were cut, but i believe that they'll add them with DLCs: 3d-person view, metro, half of the factions and much more. Few branches in the mainstory, extra quests are also weak. Graphics are pretty close to the Witcher 3, like many other bad things were copied from that game - crazy inventory, for example. But after all things - it's still playable and enjoyable in the moment, i like the gameplay, it feels like 3d Hotline Miami for me. This game has a sense of taste and style and when it will be finished (couple more years of work, bunch of DLCs etc.) - it can be solid 8-9/10, but when it's so raw it feels more like a 6. I think studio was just too ambitious and their work didn't quite met with that. Expand

    This game us undercooked to the point that it shouldnt have ever been served up to the community in this state. Doesnt matter what settings you choose, the pc version run like trash no matter what settings you choose.
    The only way to make it playable is turning off crowd density and all settings to low. Even then, it gets massive frame drops that make driving and just walking through some

    The story is amazing after 15 hours in, but I can barely continue with the laggy mess. Will be waiting for the next patch before I even attempt playing again.

    Gameplay is... Meh. Not great, not bad.

    Besides performance issues, the biggest problem Ive noticed is clunky AI. GTA 3 on ps2 had better AI for gods sake...

    The game is completely raw. I like the gameplay and story, but there is tons of bugs. Npc walking thru walls, making a T pose. Car physics can be much better. Optimization is horrible. Will put 10 when CD Project fix it.

    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.
