    Bad A.I., below average gunplay, below average stealth mechanics, poor rpg elements. His saving graces are the world itself and the story and dialogues, but not even these are worth more than an 8/10. Fun experience, but nothing more than that.

    Cyberpunk 2077 jest dobrą grą mimo błędów jakie posiada w moim odczuciu jest ich mało (ps4 pro) ale dalej są. Ale wszystko jest do zrobienia.

    The game is a VERY demanding game with its large map and intricate lighting. The story is absolutely crazy and is so inticing and something that will probably never see in a very long time, now the story is amazing but however, I believe they spent too much time on the story rather than the actual gameplay.
    The gunplay is awkward, the reload animations seem clumsy and the recoil is

    The gunplay is awkward, the reload animations seem clumsy and the recoil is questionable, glitches are of course expected as the game just released but they did spend 7 years making this game and they could've fixed the bugs that absolutely ruin the intensive cutscenes.

    THE GREAT
    - The initial Universe of Talsorian Games is awesomely rendered.
    - Visuals are most often from nice to gorgeous.
    - Main story is well written and involving
    - Side quests are most often well written and involving too
    - Dialogs are spot-on
    - Voice acting is great in English and pretty good in French too
    - Sound tracks are excellent and spot-on with the Universe
    - Perks and skills are great, character evolution is engaging
    (note that resetting skills is difficult, and resetting perks impossible. I'm a table top RPG player so to me being able to reset skills is already too complacent, but that may annoy you.)

    THE GOOD
    - It is mature content, it shouldn't have been otherwise
    - Shooter mechanics are enjoyable
    - Craft and weapon customization are interesting
    - Many graphic settings
    - Replayability is globally OK

    THE BAD
    - Main storyline is too short
    - Poor differences in class path and choice consequences makes replayablity way less fun than it could be.
    - Driving is very unsatisfying to handle
    - No vehicle customization, very weak car degradation
    - AI is dumb and dumber.
    - It is poorly optimized and if you want everything ultra, even with a monster PC, FPS wont be great, at best.
    - Some graphic settings are not properly working, like getting worse definition with G-synck on.

    THE UGLY
    - Promises of NPCs having daily routines has not been fulfilled.
    - Promises of dynamic and impacting weather system has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of meaningful day and night cycle has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of smart police tracking after a crime has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of frequent flying AVS has not been fulfilled.
    - It could go on and on, the list of unfulfilled promises is overwhelming.
    - Worst of all, promise that it would be launched when ready has not been fulfilled.
    - There are a lot of bugs, last gen consoles version is a disgrace and PC is far from that disaster, but still it had been launched half baked. Bugs I encounter are toxic to immersion but not game breaking, except when the game mess with my sound card and randomly mix speakers in 5.1 configuration : when it happens the only solution I got is to restart my PC.
    - You end up with a very nice world, but interactions with it are so poor that with time it feels more and more dead.
    - Despite not having been promised (witch doesn't mean anything anyway as we see), some basic elements you would expect from any open world RPG are not there while it would make a lot of sense because of the Universe deeply into body modification : no esthetic surgery, no tattoo shop, no hair dresser, not even the possibility to change your make up. When your character is done, it is done. Also where is the key to holster weapon ? ...
    - CDPR communication is shamelessly deceiving in so many ways you can't believe whatever they tell. Also if you care for productions to be concerned about employee's well being, you wont be happy. Saying CDPR's behavior leaves a bittersweet taste is an understatement.
    - The ugly list is too damn long e_e

    All in all CP2077 qualities are very heterogeneous. It is a good game that could have been one of the best, and may become GOTY if CDPR fulfills its promises about patches, DLCs, and bring an awesome multiplayer. BUT CDPR had been so much into deceiving their promises that there's no way we can take for granted they'll deliver.

    If you are expecting the game they promised, if you are expecting a polished game, if you're expecting great additional content, don't buy, wait for CDPR to deliver. If you're Cyberpunk 2013/2020/Red fan, if you got a powerful PC with RTX GPU, and if you don't mind bugs and BS, go for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all the game is above average 6 or 7 without bugs it's not a great game or a bad game and it's not an RPG it's an action advance with RPG leveling if I'm saying that right

    Starting off with the Story it is short just about 9 missions the game ends just like that and before anyone says something about the side quests be clear about one thing there are side quests and gigs not the same
    Some people keep mixing this up there are a ton of gigs like hits, thief, rescue, sabotage and cyber phycho these are just repetitive the game tries to give them more context but you stop caring about that after a few dozens of them And there are the side quests like panam ,Judy,river, Kerry, Johnny and I liked the politician brainwash thing too bad it just ended and fighting and raceing for some reason you can't do after finishing their quests There are three or four missions for each of these and only panam, Johnny and your preferred romance option have any major impact on the ending asides from that there aren't any meaningful choices on the game Life paths do not matter aside from some extra dialogue it's useless. Spiking of romance there is only 1for each
    Gay m 1 straight m 1 gay f 1 straight f 1 and they aren't anything new some are disappointing

    If cut out the repetition gigs and only did the side quests it lasts about 30 to 40 Hours that what matters and when the game ends there aren't any happy or good endings you get sad, bittersweet and very sad. It leaves you empty and hopeless This game for me is an one and done It's sad because when I finished witcher 3 I felt bittersweet it's over but I loved the journey made a new save immediately that's what this game lacks the most the journey there's No Replay value if aren't experimenting with builts if you want to see defferent endings load a save before the final mission you'll get everything

    If you haven't seen any marketing for this then you will have an descent time on pc but if you are like me followed it from the start then you would understand the fustration in this sub riddit I don't blame the Dev's I blame the marketing for making it look like something it isn't Also for the people saying witcher was too long it's like reading a book read one chapter and continue when you have down time or on weekends I have an 9 to 5 job that's how I play the witcher was an long adventure I could get lost in it was great fun escape form real life and that's what games are After all is said and done and the bug's fixed this game will be forgotten as an above average experience Shame because CDPR built an bueatiful city it's lifeless Buildings don't make the city the people do and after you finish the sidequests all you have is an world that is a shooting gallery nothing else

    There I think I'm done with this game

    Beautiful and performs well for the most part (GTX 1080) but feels empty/lifeless despite all the POIs on the map, most of the city seems to be window dressing. Have failed several gigs/sidejobs due to glitches or bugs. V seems to be the same character regardless of the life path chosen, her dialogue choices are jerk and sarcastic jerk, and have minor consequences if any.

V seems to be the same character regardless of the life path chosen, her dialogue choices are jerk and sarcastic jerk, and have minor consequences if any. Dialogue is constantly overlapping. The crowds are full of lifeless, duplicated NPCs that for the most part do not acknowledge V at all. Police AI is awful, I get warrants for no apparent reason and they relentlessly spawn directly next to you. It goes on.

    CDPR promised the opposite for years and I feel a bit bamboozled. "When it's ready" -insert Dr. Evil riiiiiight-

    The visuals of this game are amazing. The storyline (at the beginning) is captivating and sets you up to think your heading for a real adventure. However, that's where it all stops. The rest of the game outside the prologue is very repetitive and the cracks begin to appear.

    The AI is terrible, worse than Farcry 3 which came out over ten years ago. The police spawning system is laughable

    The AI is terrible, worse than Farcry 3 which came out over ten years ago. The police spawning system is laughable (they spawn out of nowhere). Your character development is non-existent beyond the limited cosmetic changes you can make at the start, and what's worse is the constant adverts reminding you of the augmentations everyone else is enjoying around you.

    This game looks amazing, the storyline is interesting and probably the best I've played since Detroit become human, but beyond that, it's flat. A good analogy would be as wide as the ocean but as deep as a puddle.

    I think this game needed a good two more years of development. It would have given them time to really make the game perfect including working on the abysmal AI and including all the features they promised in the trailers and build-up to in the game itself (I'm guessing they cut a lot of content, way too many loose ends in the game and random dialogue which doesn't make sense). I think we would have forgiven them given what's happening in the world. This feels rushed and it's a real shame.

    The game does no live up to its hype, and certainly it's not next gen as some like to believe.
    I gave it 6/10 because of the bugs, but even if they fix everything the game is at best a 7/10 (I'll probably change my score in a few months).
    Pros: The world is huge and nicely packed with stuff so it does not feel overcrowded. The level design is great. The story and characters are both

    Pros:
    The world is huge and nicely packed with stuff so it does not feel overcrowded.
    The level design is great.
    The story and characters are both really well done.

    And that's all for the good parts of the game.

    Now for the cons:
    The shooter mechanics are really generic.
    The character progression system is boring and to top it, the game is not build in a way to make you want to upgrade, just find better weapons and kill every one.
    The weapons are boring, only 4 ranged types, and melee blades. The guns are all the same in each type, you don't want to upgrade because at a few minutes an enemy will drop one that has higher damage than the one you spend your upgrades on.
    The crafting and upgrading are a **** joke.
    The game economy sucks. Going to a weapons trader and giving enough guns to supply an army makes me only about 2-3k...
    The driving sucks.
    The A.I. is one of the worst I have ever seen.
    The **** idiotic cop spawning system. They will literally spawn right next to you even inside a small closed room. (that's not a bug, they made the system like this)

    The above are for the game without any bugs, it's just the way it is and will probably need mods to make it better.

    Now time for the bugs.
    Graphical bugs and glitches. Too much to say here, just go to YouTube and search for "Cyberpunk 2077 bugs compilation" or "Cyberpunk 2077 WTF & Funny Moments".
    NPC and other models disappearing or spawning out of nowhere.
    Player dying by falling from a small object on his path.
    Player (also inside a vehicle) getting launched to the sky and crashing to a stupid death. (I have lost a few times on hard missions this way, really frustrating)
    NPCs stuck inside objects.
    NPCs passing through objects or closed doors.
    NPCs using telekinesis and holding objects in the air. (if this is a feature I want it to)
    NPCs and objects hovering in the air.
    Bugged quests, that may not be able to be completed.

    There are probably more, but I don't want to lose more time on this.

    Finally the horrible performance even on pc. The game has the performance of a next gen game without the visual quality to back it up.

    This game has been a huge disappointment even without all the issues. After all the problems are fixed and the DLCs are out with additional content and gameplay improvements, the game may reach a 8/10.
    But it does not worth full price. Wait for the price to drop bellow $40 before you buy it,

    The street npcs and their reactions are the worst we've ever seen.
    Information and tutorials are missing from the menus.
    The police teleport instead of going with one of those flying vehicles as we see at the beginning of the story, they don't follow you with the car either.
    Some npcs are presented directly by phone without seeing them first. etc etc.
    It is impossible not to compare it to other open world games like GTA or RDR2 where the detail is incredible and the world feels alive, in this game it is NOT.
    The story is good and interesting. The gameplay is good and fun but it looks tainted by all its bugs and crappy things.

    I have to make this review because I've been waiting for this from the very first teaser trailer and I am disappointed by this.

    This could've been regarded as a masterpiece if it wasn't for the features that was cut out, less buggy, and an unoptimized mess. Blaming people for having an old-gen when it was advertised where it's aimed at. This was never a "next-gen" if it wasn't

    This could've been regarded as a masterpiece if it wasn't for the features that was cut out, less buggy, and an unoptimized mess.

    Blaming people for having an old-gen when it was advertised where it's aimed at. This was never a "next-gen" if it wasn't delayed and got released last April. No RTX 30 series cards, and no PS5, and Series X. The excuse would've been invalid but the amount of defending this game just because you are not experiencing bugs, glitches and running on high fps, then congrats on being part of the 10% who have high-end PC or just lucky.
    The minimum specs for PC however, was GTX 780 or RX 470, but they never mentioned how many fps they were getting. Instead, you have to find out when it was released.

    Now, I'm pointing out it's "missing" features, and "errors" or "flaws". If there is something that I have missed, then add it to your own list. This is also what I gathered from other people's opinions in which I agree with as I don't know how to put a review properly.

    Negatives:
    - There is a good bit amount of spelling errors on dialogues, signs, and on shards.
    - AI system as a whole is just disappointing (Enemies, Cops, Civilians, Cars), I thought it would be the same level as GTA V at least.
    - Gunplay is not that great, but I would say average, while it's somewhat a bit satisfying on my side still not good enough to carry on it's own.
    - Customization is lacking, they removed the car customization, no barbershop, and tattooist as people mentioned, and the character customization is just average as well. 2018's demo of their character customization is really good, it was easy to see because you can choose the color and not pick left or right and guess what color are they and not just that, there are other parts of it that they were proud to show.
    - Armor System, I really don't know why they decided to use the clothes as armor, I just thought maybe it would've been great if they put it on Cyberware as it actually makes sense because you replace your body with a better "system" or "mods".
    - RPG but instead was an action-adventure game, this is not a negative but I just think that this should be considered as false advertising.
    - No difference in 3 lifepaths, their difference only was the first 30 mins and only a few dialogue options and that's it. No replayability.
    - Open-world is dead, yeah sure, you get side activities if there is a robbing happening but that's it. No interactions at all. I'm not talking about getting into each and every building, but just the world itself.
    - Driving. Probably the most annoying handling on any cars i have ever seen in any game. The car's handling is so bad that it's hard to turn without over steering unless you drive 50mph. But if you drive 200 mp/h and you could see Jesus miles away before you turn. GTA V's handling on keyboard is miles better compared to this.

    Positive:
    The game's story is great, it's carrying the game so hard but barely because of the missing features that were promised. The characters as well. if it wasn't for these, it would've been a disaster.
    Johnny Silverhand - Keanu Reeves performance was great, I think his character fits very well to his voice because he's a stone-cold **** People may not agree with me here but I actually think he did a good job as Johnny Silverhand. There are some serious lines that I shouldn't laugh but because of his voice it makes me chuckle a bit.

    Overall, I do like the game, however with these missing features and NPCs it's hard not to notice it, the optimization of this is not forgivable. If they should've just kept their mouth shut until a year before release and blaming people for being hyped (while I do not allow sending death threats) then there would be no high expectations, but instead, they promised us lies and deception and eventually bit them in the ass.

    I hope they add those features eventually as it is possible, but right now it's not worth the 60$ and it's a goddamn mess.

    I came to Cyberpunk with a degree of suspicion. There was a huge amount of hype and a lot of promises that made me suspicious that we might be building ourselves up for another No Man's Sky... and I'm pretty certain that is where we have ended up. Massive expectations and a mediocre game.

    If you want the TL/DR, there is a good game in there under the bugs and other crap. I've enjoyed it well enough and will probably finish the game, but won't be coming back. For something that sets out to be immersive, Cyberpunk falls pretty damned short. Maybe get it when it comes on sale.

    Before I start it is worth pointing out that I'm coming at this game with a high-end PC so haven't experienced any of the performance issues that an awful lot of people have been having.

    The Good Bits
    * The story: It is entertaining and the characters are well written. Some people might disagree on that, these things are quite subjective, but I have, for the most part, quite enjoyed that aspect of the game.
    *The immersive aspects the story: Sitting down and drinking while talking to people is a nice touch and they do take time in the conversations to flesh out the characters.

    The Bad Bits
    * The Bugs: Holy mackerel Batman, are there a lot of these! Random T-posing NPCs/corpses, suddenly teleporting across the screen, turning bald when you look in the mirror, unlootable robot bodies, your health bar suddenly showing zero HP and never going up or down...
    Traffic/ NPC Spawning: Driving down the road and having a truck spawn 5 feet in front of your vehicle is pretty damned aggravating.
    * Vehicles: Driving is painful. I only just realised there was a handbrake. It doesn't appear to do anything.
    * Character choices: There are only one or two main missions where you can do anything that make an iota of difference to what happens in the world.

    The Bits that Could have been so much more...
    * The Graphics: Don't get me wrong, the ray tracing is very pretty, but the reflective surfaces don't reflect you or a large proportion on NPCs (I'm assuming because they pop out of existence when you turn away from them) and that really breaks immersion once you realise that you are a vampire. Interestingly a modder has discovered there is a line in one of the files that you can change from 'False' to 'True' to allow your reflection to show. Why is it off by default? Because your character doesn't actually have a head model most of the time. Once you realise this you can also see this in shadows - V's head looks like the reflection of a volley ball.
    * Character Customisation: What is the point? You literally only see V when you are driving a car/motorbike, on the menu screens or when you are looking into the bathroom mirror (you walk up to them and activate them and then it shows your face... as a bald person if you happen to have a hat/glasses on). You also can't change V's appearance after creation. Not that it matters that much.
    * Equipment Upgrades: In theory you can keep a piece of equipment you love and keep upgrading it as you level... but the cost goes up each time you do that to the point where it becomes impossible. So generally it's better to just forget about it altogether and use the best crap in your inventory. Yes, V will look like a clown, but it's not like you see V anyway.
    * The perks and body mods: Kinda feel like something that was tacked on and isn't that necessary. You could complete the game without bothering.
    * Non-lethal attacks: Is there any point to not straight up killing people apart from the very small number of missions where they say you should aim to take a boss down without killing them? There's a non-lethal takedown you can use on mooks in stealth mode, but I've yet to ever see a reason why you'd use that instead of killing someone.

Anyway, let's talk about the positive things at first. The action pleasure in the game is amazing, I can say that it is a feature that can really lock the player, whether it is the music played in the conflict sequence or the atmosphere. The universe of the game is also well studied. Night City is a dreamy environment. Although the episode design and story start flat at first, it can attract the actor in the middle. Besides, the variety in the game attracted my attention. There is nothing in the game ... You can do everything ... And let's get to the parts that upset us ... One of the biggest mistakes of CD Projekt Red was that they announced the game too early. Seven years ago, all the actors gassed with a trailer. But it was under the gas that I was afraid of me anyway .. There is no such thing as optimized in the game and it is technically deprived. In every sequence of the game, every time you play, there are bugs and many more errors... As a result, if we say for today, Cyberpunk 2077 is not a game that I can recommend from technical aspects and gameplay. But if any of you are curious about the story, there is a good story above average. Get it, play it. Or enjoy your torrenting (xd) But play it after 5 months.

Npcs either pedestrian or drivers have absolutely no day and night cycle or routine. The police spawning is complete **** The lifepaths were an utter slap in the face, they last for 15 minutes and all railroad you into the same story. There are no minigames or immersive activities that you can engage in such as dancing, drinking, eating, hooking up with pre-determined npcs or going to strip clubs. That montage was aboslutely ridiculous and they still used it in the trailers as if to say that you could do all that The side stuff mostly includes killing or stealing something. Very limited character creator. Very few acessories and tattoos.

    Was i supposed to care about Jackie ? Because you showed a damned montage and the game said that we were all buddies ? That's not how relationships work.

    The street cred system also seems to work only so you can buy new guns, mods or cyberware as well as new gigs (shoot or steal). I've only seen my street cred value work once when some gangers were harassing a street vendor but backed off when they knew who i was. Other than that you might as well be some nameless merc,
    The world doesn't react to you, people don't talk or write about how much of a badass you are. Romance options are very limited and even after you finish the romance you can barely interact with them after. One of the romance options will text you ONCE after the romance is completed and that is it.
    Driving is very floaty and cars are very hard to control. Also a personal complaint is how lame stealth takedowns are, it's always the same two animations of you breaking the persons neck. Much prefer the takedowns in the Far Cry games.
    Story and characters are quite good though, really liked Johnny, Takemura and Panam, some of the side missions are super interesting, like the one you do for one of the candidates for mayor of Night City.
    The city is absolutely beatiful too and really comes alive at night with all the neon.
    Gameplay is ok, the shooting is nothing too innovative but works fine.

    The lifepaths, lack of immersive side activities, limited romance options and AI are what soured my opinion towards this game. I will be very wary of the next games CDPR puts out.

Cyberpunk is not the 'next generation rpg' as they described it. There's nothing groundbreaking about it. The story is pretty good but beyond that, it's nothing new and its not polished. The city is amazing, i have to hand them that. The map is truly immersive and well done but that's where it stops. It's not a terrible game but any means but it's nothing to look twice at.

    It doesn't have the bugs on PC that the console users are dealing with so that's something but it feels like it's missing features. NPC's will randomly appear on the sidewalk and disappear into thin air just as quickly. The driving is not great and while the character creation is pretty good, you cant do the simple things like change your character's visuals (change hair color for example). The tech tree is pretty nice and detailed and they do allow you to respec your character but it costs a ridiculous amount of money and makes it not worth it.

    Save your money and wait for a discount or maybe my review will change once they release more content in 2021.

    Sure there are plenty of side missions and interesting gigs, but this game stinks of cut content and ideas. I had almost convinced myself after an unhealthy 80 hours.

    The issue is they clearly cut a lot from the game to make the date. Here are the main issues from someone who pre-ordered, loved the Witcher series and really wanted this to work:
    1. The city feels vapid and empty despite NPCs - they just wander up and down - the same fat guy with the waddle with different clothes, the guy with an itchy shoulder with different clothes. The same gangs, in the same areas. The police who appear out of thin air, but also lose interest within a block of drivingrunning.
    2. Sure a lot of houses you entered in TW3 were samey, but at least you could go in them. In CB2027 you simply cannot go into many buildings in the city, you are kept almost exclusively on the street until a particular mission. The lifts in buildings only go to the floors related to your current mission.
    3. There is no real progression of my character, other than some stats. I cannot upgrade my apartment, or move. My car is what I buy or get as a reward - no customisation at all . Even with Roach I could add a new saddle, trophy...
    4. They didn't keep the mechanic from TW3 where the character you are following will match your speed. You either are slowed to a walk, or if you break out of the "envelope" they run after you!
    5. You jog everywhere, you cannot just walk, which makes point 4 weird!
    6. It is clear that the more open nature of missions was cut from earlier demonstrations - remember Meredith, they showed you scouting it out with Jackie - which makes more sense with the conversation with the guard about whether you are alone.
    7. Sick of the breaching mechanic after the 50th time.
    8. 90% of conversation options have zero effect on the outcome, and in many cases how they respond to you.

    Bugs aside, I was looking forward to this game and feel severely let down. Despite having had a fair chunk of time playing it and enjoying some of it, it still feels like a poor facade for what the original intent promised.

    After playing almost 100 hours (no life for me), I gotta say everything besides romance and main story are pretty boring and tedious. I tried all the endings with both female and male V, and my favourite is leaving NC with Panan and Judy.
    I would like to give a 6/10, since the characters and majority of the main story line are attractive and interesting; also I hope the CDPR could fix the bug fast, implement the missing components, expand much much more story line, and release DLC soon.

    I try not to talk about bugs and performance, i think enough people are doing this already.

    There is just nothing really standing out whatsoever.
    I finished the game and cant remember a single "breathtaking" moment.
    I tried to like it so much more, but even after 40 hours, seeing a lot, doing a bunch of sidequests, its just this bland mix of things you already encountered in other games - often executed better than in CP2077.

    The city and spaces are vast but there is so little interaction with it.
    Ill never understand how "a bigger map" than other games or a previous game is something to look forward to.
    Make it half the size and focus on something else - as a player you still wont EVER see everything - even after 100 hours of playing.

    Most of the Skillsystem is useless.
    Im not saying that its boring because I personally dont like it.
    Im sure there are people who like to play a certain style so there is a lot to choose from but...
    Getting stronger doesnt feel rewarding at all. Levelcap on items makes doing harder quests for the thrill completely obsolete and not fun at all.
    On the hardest difficulty "hits" just randomly oneshot you more often and people have more Hp - thats hardly nice balancing.

    No Quests that give you the feeling of being in danger.
    No high risk high reward scenarios.
    The loot and even the process of looting felt horrible.
    You only go for color indicators, nothing to really look forward to.
    The inventory takes you completely out of the game - too slow, too clunky, no clear overview of anything - selling is an extremely painful since it lets you sell the things you have equipped and always asks if you REALLY want to sell a legendary item or something you got equipped, also its very slow.

    Ill leave it at that, i could go on and on and on.
    It feels like CDPR fell victim to the same thing every company thats too big, or that got too big quickly becomes a victim to: The wrong people are in charge, the wrong people make important decisions - not only bad decisions but also just moneydriven decisions - its not a project of "heart" anymore, Im certain its not the lack talent of some people but it feels like the get shut down by the "moneymen". Its just another title to fill the wallet.
    Too bad it has to be like this, i guess there is no way around it.
    Even Blizzard and Bethsda got caught - but only after a long reign of wonderful sunshine.

    I dont think DLC's can fix Cyberpunk - maybe im just saying this out of desperation but i honestly think there are just too many things that are not good (enough) in this game.

    I appreciate the effort, it was a brave try, sadly to no success in my opinion - not even close.

    Now that the hype is over and reality settled in, what remains is a game that is very mediocre in pretty much all aspects. Not entirely bad, but certainly underwhelming and sometimes even boring. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that tries to do everything, but gets nothing right.

    By far it's biggest issue is the discrepancy of features promised by CDPR and features actually implemented in the game. The ubiquitously hyped "life path system" practically doesn't exist and the often teased aspect of player choice is mostly limited to the last mission. Another serious shortcoming is the game's open world design. Despite being large and always having something going on, the player can interact with hardly anything present. There is next to no object continuity and believability suffers greatly from a lack of depth. So, somewhat ironically, this vast, busy open world ends up feeling lifeless, artificial and empty. I could go on and on talking about the games shortcomings, because they are plenty. The lackluster combat, rng elements, uninspired story and abysmal technical state are just a few of them. Honestly the only commendation would go to Keanu Reeves, who manages to pull off one of the most nuanced and straight up badass sidekick characters of video game history.

    Anyways, Cyberpunk 2077 is definitley not a worthy successor to the monument of good game design that was The Witcher 3 and it certainly doesn't hold a candle to triple-A titles released in the recent past, such as RDR2. It's fair to say that CDPR likely lost most of it's credibility within its fanbase with this this release, which manages to under-deliver in every regard. In the end the only remaining question is, how the supposed poster child of the video games industry could justify spending nearly 8 years on creating such a mediocre experience.

I have played the game for some 40h, already done 2 times the final mission with different final and i have to say that the game is not that good, below the expected, the story is good, the voices and narrative are mostly good, for an open world, it feels kinda of an story driven world instead of open world, at first i was playing and driving all around and when i was already with 15h, didnt want to travel by car because the city feels equal in everywere you are, driving is a mess, a little break puts the car drifting as hell and some cars almost dont turn, motorcycles the same but with more drift, fights with weapons feels quite good and the immersion of the game in first person is pretty good, characters in anyways feels like they arent really persons, because you call them and you pass by them and you cant tell anything new, feels like your talking to an robot, it is bad so simp for a person and the person feeling like a robot in the end, adult cutscenes looks pretty bad for expectation, character customization is good but could be better starting with the tattos, theres almost no tattos to choose, choosing the backstory of the char (nomad, street kid and corpo) are just different in the first steps and adds a new narrative in some dialogues but thats all, i was expecting different stories :/ , Missions sometimes feel too much boring. feelsbadman :( was expecting better Expand

Right now, the moment that truly matters, it is an incomplete game and a big disappointment.

    Unless you are a big fan of the cyberpunk genre and can't wait to experience the story of V and Johnny Silverhand, but also have a lot of patience to deal with various bugs that will constantly take you out of the experience, I recommend completely avoiding the game and hoping it'll (luckily) be in a better state in the future.

The gunplay is meh.. i feel like playing fallout new vegas again but in a bad way. I found myself shooting the smart guns, beacause u don't even need to aim which is a fantastic thing. The hacking feels fresh at the start and kinda fun to use, BUT later it just feels like a side fun thing which leaks effectivness. I had more fun with that in Watch Dogs...

I was not blind to the "does not represent final product" warning labels in the teasers and trailers. However, most of the time this message is viewed positively. It implies the game will be more polished, more fleshed out, and more complete than what you're seeing.

    In cyberpunk's case, they cut out the game itself. That warning message acted as a shield against accountability rather than a promising reassurance that the game would get better. Intentional or not. This is not an RPG. Cyberpunk 2077 is a mediocre mess. A heartbreaking one. It absolutely shines in a few areas, is passable in many, and is absolutely embarrassing in some. The story, although good and even emotionally impactful at times, suffers from the poor choice made to cut out what was likely going to be an additional act to the game in favor of an odd and unsatisfying montage summarization. How much was actually cut from the story I'll never know, but there is something huge missing here especially and I felt it. Like losing an arm but constantly being treated as though I'd never had two in the first place. V is not your character. Most of your choices are meaningless. V will frequently say things with no input from you that destroys any vision of what or who your character is to you. Unless " douchey street kid" is what you envisioned. V is a vehicle for you to experience Johnny's story and the stories of the other characters around you. Who, admittedly, are mostly very good. The customization is just okay. A shadow of what it could have been. Then again, what is the point of customization when you almost never see your character in any meaningful way? Third person cutscenes are almost entirely nonexistent. You can look in mirrors, but why? It happens twice naturally in the story, and half the time pieces of clothing or hair won't load in properly. Mirrors would be a nice little addition if they didn't remind me that the character I spent my time creating may as well be imaginary unless I bend over a bathroom sink and stare at him doing nothing. The city is the most beautiful city ever made in a video game. It's also completely shallow and boring beyond being a set piece to do missions in. They sprinkled in a few secrets and scripted events, but not many and not enough to satisfy, it only makes me want more. The police and A.I. in npcs is extremely bad. This has been said many times by people more knowledgable and well spoken than me, but it absoltely cannot be overstated and should be yelled out from the rooftops at any opportunity. It is embarrassing and almost insulting. This can never be okay in a full priced game. Ridiculous. Unbelievable. This is a lopsided, gutted, abused 6/10 game that is treading water solely on the talent that surrounds it. The art, the music, the acting and writing (in most cases) prop up this husk of a shell of a game and allow it to be something I would consider worth playing. No amount of bug fixes will improve its score beyond a 7. What this game needs is meat. Features. Activities. Repair. Remodeling. So much about it feels incomplete and butchered that it screams out to anyone paying attention that it was meant to be something very different. There is a 9/10 experience somewhere in this mess. They have the foundation. Will updates and dlc transform this game over the years and turn it into a product that's not only flashy and cool but SATISFYING? I don't know enough about game development to understand what they can or can't do to fix this. Or if they'll even try or recognize what's broken. But I hope they do. My heart sank at the end of my playthrough when the honeymoon phase ended and it began to sink in just how much of this game was missing. For every bit of fun I had, there were 2 somber realizations that I couldn't do or see something that I wanted to or was told I could. Cyberpunk is a lot like the hurried montage it used to replace an entire act of the game. Flashy and full of good characters, but hollow and unsatisfying. No video game has ever let me down more than this one. I remain optimistic about its future, however, and hope both CDRED and the people who trusted them end up as happy with the outcome as possible.

    Years of lies. Just a disgusting, poor, clunky implementation of everything that is related to movement of things on the screen. Static image is stunning and feels like a dream.

    The game is dead. Bugs fixing from CDPR will not ever change the game's core systems. There is no feeling of proper immersion because of disgusting implementation of game's systems.

    Just a shame. Feel so sorry for people that put their hearts in this game. Some other people just destroyed all the beauty with their disgusting dirt.

    No hope anymore. The heart is broken, CDPR. Such a lack of adequate games on the market...

    i was waiting this game for 2 years, i thought it will be polished just like The Witcher 3 but the game is unfinished, there is nothing to do outside the quest : no barber, you cannot customise your cars, there is nothing to buy outside a few implants in the ripperdocs store (there is no need to bought gun, you loot a better version 20 minutes after the purchase.)
    The game will always feel empty, even after the patchs that will remove bug and improve IA, Cyberpunk 2077 will still be a quick game that you can finish in 30 hours and forget about it a week after.
    I'm still giving a 6/10 because the city/graphics are beautiful, and the (short) story is really good.

Why would CDPR take elements from GTA V (crowds/cars/city/police system) Borderlands (looter shooter "RPG") Fallout (V.A.T.S.) to then butcher them all in a way that is so far beyond simple incompetence that one has wonder if this game is in all actuality nothing more than a sophisticated troll job! Almost every aspect of this game (except for most visuals) seems like either a placeholder... or is lackluster... or horribly implemented or downright broken to the point of non functionality. And that is not even taken into account all the bugs, the obviously cut content and the misleading advertising! This game ist not even close to feature complete let alone gold! It is at best a fancy early access version of the game that has been promised to revolutionize the the open world RPG genre. Not only did it not deliver on that lofty ideal... it doesn't even try! It is nothing more than mediocre looter shooter with a decent story and a hilariously bad looting system and non existing open world elements (except for the stunning map). The true tragedy is that every single aspect of the game UI, gameplay and even the story and mission designe has been done before and it has been done better... far better! In some instances done far better over a decade ago! I tried everything to like this game... for 150 hours... and all it did... was... disappoint me... if you never played Borderlands, GTA V, Mass Effect 1- 3, Elder Scrolls V or Fallout New Vegas you might find this game entertaining... but if you played even one of those games to its fullest (let alone all of them) you see Cyberpunk 2077 for what it is, a disappointment and a enormous missed opportunity on every level. Even when all the bugs are fixed and the game is optimized to the point that runs perfectly on all platforms, it could never be more then a 7/10 and that would be generous! What a waste! After this CDPR can never hope to get 8 million preorders again! We gamers may be slow to learn, but this game was just too disappointing! To all the "professional" reviewers out there who gave this game more than a 7/10... you suck at your job even worse than the management of CDPR! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un buen juego pero no puedo recomendarlo.

    Primero esta el tema de los bugs. En mis 54h 26m, según GOG, me he topado con bugs que van desde el T pose, la muerte por bajar de una simple roca con 5cm desde el suelo, un gato que vive debajo del mar, autos volando, que aparezcan por generación espontanea los policías, etc.
    -La IA es horrible, disparan donde no hay enemigos, si pones un obstáculo en la vereda ellos no son capaces de realizar acción alguna.
    - El mundo es hermoso pero no tiene vida. Se bien que existen muchas personas que este punto les parecerá criticable ya que si sales de un edificio dentro de Night City verás personas pero sin simplemente una IA que se dedica a caminar donde tenga que caminar y nada más. La conversación con estas personas no va mas allá de un hola hasta un "[...]". Es increíble como un juego como Fallout New Vegas tiene mejor acabado en este aspecto que un juego NEXT GEN 2020.
    - Los vehículos me gustan. El estilo que usan también. El acabado que tiene los autos por dentro es genial. Pero, es difícil manejarlos. Para frenar necesitas apretar "F" para salir del vehículo y veras que el automóvil frena en cero coma.
    - Las armas y la armadura están bien... aunque no se pero me acordé siempre de Destiny. Hay un bug que te muestran los stats mal. Hace parecer que algunas armas que recoges son mejores que la que tu tienes hasta que la ves en el inventario.
    - Los espacios con los personajes están desperdiciados. Hay veces que decides acompañar a los personajes en las misiones, por ejemplo Panam, te dice unas cuantas cosas y termina la conversación quedando un silencio espectral. Por lo menos agregaron el omitir viaje pero me hubiese gustado que hubiese algo mas que contar y preguntar en esos viajes.
    - Una gran decepción, que no se si alguien lo notó, es el actualizado de partes del cuerpo de V. Al principio es genial porque observas como le quitan el ojo y le ponen uno mejor quedándote con una buena impresión que puede venir mas adelante PUES NOPE, escoges la parte que quieres mejorar, seleccionas el ítem y ya esta no hay animación ni cinemática ni nada. Por lo menos agregar una y si te parece muy repetitivo quitarla como quitas el viaje con el personaje de misión.
    - Los policías también es otra cosa... Matas a alguien y aparecen espontáneamente detrás de ti. Si vas en un auto no importa tanto ya que parece que los policías en el juego no saben ocupar sus propios autos así que es fácil evadirlos y pensar que GTA V salió el 2013...
    - El performance o el rendimiento. Esto es de risas. Recomiendan una gtx 1060 de 6gb en 1080p pero si tienes una rtx 3070 reza para tener unos 60fps estables. A lo mejor los de CDPR piensan que 30fps en un juego first person shooter en pc es jugable... No sé.

    El juego lo precompre... si bien me arrepiento de esto dado que pensé que los responsables de The Witcher 3 harían algo insuperable y no un juego que parece ser sacado de Bugisoft. Sin embargo aun lo tengo y aun lo sigo jugando.

    No puedo recomendártelo hasta que no esté terminado el desarrollo del juego. Esto me duele porque tiene un potencial enorme.

    The game has a lot of potential, main story is enthralling, several side quests do some great exploration of science fiction subject with a nice coat of cyberpunk on them.

    That being said the constant bugs have the sad effect of taking you out of the story, of being fully in. I'm talking mostly about broken quests, dialogs not appearing during conversations, NPCs talking without moving

    That being said the constant bugs have the sad effect of taking you out of the story, of being fully in. I'm talking mostly about broken quests, dialogs not appearing during conversations, NPCs talking without moving their lips, stuff like that.

    Also, sadly, the core RPG system is a bit too simple, badly balanced and not too consistent sometimes with the setting. If one takes crafting to a decent enough level you become untouchable and you can end up being able to do enough damage to kill everything in one shot except for the final boss.

    The UI needs a lot of work, it's buggy and annoying to use, crafting is a chore.

    Cons
    - Game breaking bugs which effects the immersion and gameplay of the game.
    - Badly optimized.
    - Needs quality of life improvements on mini map, etc.
    - Most of all, the cut content. This includes the obviously cut content regarding the story in the beginning, which could have had more impact on later on. (Without spoiling anything).
    - The world can feel empty at times, with NPC's feeling soulless and badly programmed.

    Verdict - 6/10, as of now I do not recommend buying the game unless you have a good enough PC to handle it. If you do, buy at sale.

It possibly could've been if all the cut content was in the game, but the only things you can do in the game are main quests and sidequests, which are both good but I would've like extra fluff like minigames and such.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main story was well written, and certainly kept me immersed. During missions, main story characters felt alive, and I felt like I was making a difference in the world. However, that was mostly sugar coating, as it didn't really matter what you do. Everything nearly plays out the same no matter what choices you make.

    You're offered life paths at the beginning of the game. This choice at the start only impacts the prologue that lasts a couple hours. The life path dialogue options have no impact on the story, and only add a little flavour to conversations. So it doesn't matter which life path you choose, the rest of the game after the prologue is identical.

    While character creation exists, it's nearly pointless. You rarely ever see your character except in the inventory screen and mirrors. Mirrors are pointless as well, just a low res reflection of your character. Once created, you cannot alter your characters appearance what so ever.

    After completing missions, characters become dull. After questing with Panam, she just sits there and says, "Hey, V." 24/7. When racing with Claire, she still thinks I'm not quite good enough after coming in first place during the trials. Also, after the first race I take a ride with her back to her garage. I expected some further interaction but felt like I was just booted out of her truck and she took off. Once the scripted parts are over, there is no more meaningful engagement with these characters.

    The AI in the game is terrible. Crowds merely make the game feel lived in, except they don't. There are only a few voices, they repeat a lot of things, you can walk through them like they're not there, their lips don't move when they talk, they all have identical animation and respond the same in groups. They pop in and pop out at random.

    AI traffic is the same. Pop in and pop out definitely breaks immersion. Pathing is off in some areas and they drive into things. They cannot drive around things. Traffic at a distance is simulated with extremely low res objects that just move over the roads. When on the ground, it looks like there is a lot of traffic ahead of you, then just disappears as you approach.

    The crafting system needs major work. I attempted to craft one Epic/Iconic shirt to Legendary/Iconic. I spent all my rare+ material, so decided to craft all required material from my common components. After crafting necessary components, I crafted the Legendary/Iconic item. The original Iconic item was not consumed, even though it should have been. Crafting this one item increased my save file by 1 MB. Reverting to an earlier save, instead of crafting all required components, I went and purchased them instead and crafted the same item. My save file size did not change at all. Yes, I know they addressed the 8 MB save limit on PC, but crafting my own components to enable myself to craft one single item added a full MB to my save, and there was no way to actually decrease that size once it becomes bloated. The only way to level crafting is to craft, so it's tricky to reach level 20 in crafting and manage your save size. Which brings me to the crafting skills. The capstone skill increases the value of your crafted items. One would think that this would help to earn eddies. However, by the time you gather the required components to craft items to sell, I feel it's not really worth it. Also, but the time you're high enough level to have 20 in crafting and skill points to invest in that skill, I feel that eddies are not really any concern as you probably have quite a bit now. Also, your crafted items are still only worth a tiny fraction of what a vendor sells items for.

    The way they made it possible to continue playing the game and finish off side quests was poorly done IMHO. So, the way it works is you have two options. Return to the main menu, or load your save just before the point of no return. So essentially if you want to go back and complete everything, you have to go back to where you haven't finished the last quest. Which means it's still the main quest in your log. You do however get an item in your inventory for finishing which ever ending you completed, it's still a let down. I have no idea why they couldn't load you back into the game world with the actual main story completed. I mean, everyone leaves Night City anyway, so they could have just made those characters no longer available. They could have allowed you to continue playing at that point without Johnny in your head, no more coughing, and finishing off things in the game as if you actually accomplished what you set out to do. But instead, you just return to the game before you beat the game. Even though there is pretty much no interaction with story characters at this point. It was very unsatisfying.

    All in all, I just feel like there was so much potential for this game. So many missed opportunities. Only time will tell if it can become a masterpiece.

BO2 had better level design with more variety in terms of how you approach a level or even simple things like using drones or flying jets(I know those were scripted but they changed the paste a lot) CP2077 has none of this. What CP2077 has is underdeveloped gameplay mechanics such as stealth and hacking and only few choices that effect the game all of it before the end game btw and level design that is worst than any other modern FPS game out there.
    Far Cry 3's open world made a lot more sense because you develop with open world without hunting, crafting you cant develop Jason's arsenal or his skill tree. Now what night city has some vendors and joytoys other than that open world is only for going one mission to another. You can get good loot from main mission if you are lucky you can get cyberware so what is the point of night city it is like a picture looks great but you cant interact with it . Btw Far Cry 3 had better skill point system because it gave you actual skills not like CP2077's GREAT %3 upgrade to my handgun damage.
    Watch Dogs 2 has a lot better npc AI and wanted system and overall better open world. At this point you should know that CP2077 has a terriable open world implementations. It ıs just bad
    In terms of story you my like it but it is nothing special and forgetable because it has plot holes as big as a meteor crater and doesn't even make sense.
    This game makes some good things like art style, romance and has likable characters but when you consider those lies and that thick budget they are expected it is like paying a worker a huge paycheck and then praising him after he does his job.

    If people except this game as it is CDRP will turn into next Bethesda or EA.

    The way that CDPR have acted to promote the game and flat out lied to potential customers and shareholders should be acted upon - which, thankfully seems to be happening.

    All this is too bad. We needed that CDPR that gave us the immortal Witcher 3 game.

    Cyberpunk is not a bad game despite all its flaws. The reason I open with that is simple, most of these reviews seemingly are from people angry that a game they like (perhaps invested a lot of time in) has been essentially deadpanned. I understand a user review is mostly anecdotal and may vary from person to person but there’s a few universal factors that come into play. I heard of thisCyberpunk is not a bad game despite all its flaws. The reason I open with that is simple, most of these reviews seemingly are from people angry that a game they like (perhaps invested a lot of time in) has been essentially deadpanned. I understand a user review is mostly anecdotal and may vary from person to person but there’s a few universal factors that come into play. I heard of this game in April 2020, because of the delay I imagine people were upset and that caused it to actually become more popular, prior to that I never heard of the game even though I’ve played the Witcher 3 (also in 2020), obviously I was late to the hype train. Many users and reviewers say promises were made and what was delivered was not remotely on par with what was expected, that’s fine but I can’t really speak from that perspective. Purely from an open world RPG POV the game itself is not by any means terrible, the character design and lack of customization after creating your character like getting a haircut or a shave, or even growing facial hair ala red dead 2 or the Witcher 3 is missing or was never considered, I knocked off some points for this. I played the corporate and nomad play styles, I’m hesitant to call them lifestyles primarily due to the lack of choices that are centered around these paths after act 1. There’s a few choices that come up in dialogue that are unique to ones chosen path, rare but still here and there. I did not personally notice if these are of consequence or otherwise. The main story is very detailed and seems to be fleshed out. I liked the interactions with Jackie and many of the side quests. The voice acting is hit or miss. You’ll notice a few hiccups during missions with calls coming in and unable to be ignored during conversations Clothing seems to go back to the same customization cluster issue, you may end up dressed pretty goofily if you don’t invest a lot of time in finding legendary clothing items that both look good and rank high. My character was dressed like a modern amalgamation of samurai and biker, mostly for the perks and no it wasn’t appealing. The entire “RP” element is hollow, not much substance aside from the base

    I did not experience any of the major bugs and this likely due to my hardware and I wouldn’t really knock any points off even if I did as those can be smoothed out over time

    Replay-ability: here is where the game suffers majorly, there’s only a few paths one can take before the end of the story, and the end plot offers about 3 to 4 choices and having played them all I can say I haven’t even touched this game in about 3 to 4 weeks. I will go back to it when they add more substance, like better NPC dialogue, car chases that work outside of the intro, a police/wanted system that isn’t just a minor inconvenience until you’ve left the area, the world itself feels hollow even more so than a game that 8 years old (GTAV) let alone a masterpiece like red dead 2

    Get this game and try it yourself (wait for a sale). Don’t go off hype, or hate. Make your own opinion based on how much you enjoyed it or vice versa. Clamoring hate on a company isn’t going to make you feel better or make the game more to your liking, it’ll likely make that company less willing to take chances. No one forces you to buy anything.

    Cyberdecepción.

    He jugado cyberpunk practicamente desde el día de su lanzamiento (v 1.02) y no encontré ningún glitch o fallo que me impidiera completar alguna misión o que fuera realmente molesto. Además de que lo puede jugar de manera fluida a 1080p en calidad media en un portátil MSI de 2017 con una GTX 1050 de 2Gb. Por lo que mi decepción no es por el acabado técnico (muchísimo mejor, por cierto, ahora que van por el parche 1.12) sino por el juego en sí.

    No voy a ser como esos idiotas que esperaban un mundo real con millones de personas cada una con 100 líneas de diálogo y donde toda una ciudad fuera interactiva pero si que esperaba mucho más en general. Mi crítica no va dirigida a lo que "debería haber incluido el juego" o a lo que se "debería poder hacer". Me da igual que un arcade no se pueda jugar o que el vendedor de perritos calientes sea de pega. El problema viene con lo que el juego ofrece de por si y eso es un problema muy grave porque denota falta de ganas e ilusión por parte de los desarrolladores.

    Por poner algunos ejemplos, el juego dispone de muchísimos vehículos y algunos son realmente caros pero no necesitan un vehículo para nada en cyberpunk y si lo necesitas te lo regalan. Lo difícil en un juego es crear 100 armas únicas y que cada jugador elija la suya y que algunas sean más difíciles que otras de conseguir, Cyberpunk opta por la opción cutre de los hack&slash de darte el mismo objeto infinitas veces pero actualizando su rareza o sus características secundarias pero aún así no vale para nada pues yo terminé el juego de principio a fin en la máxima dificultad con la primera katana que conseguí, decepcionante, e igual sucede con las armaduras. Los que sepan realmente que es cyberpunk saben que una mecánica del juego era los "cool" que eres y la ropa que llevabas tenía un enorme impacto social, en este juego sin embargo debes conformarte con ponerte el atuendo más feo que haya sólo porque sus stats son las mejores, penoso.

    La interacción con el mundo no es pobre sino nefasta, te acercas a alguien que está llorando y su línea de diálogo es "que buen día hace" (wtf), la policía se teletransporta a tus espaldas de manera automática si la lías pero con correr 100 metros en línea recta los pierdes. Disparas al aire y la gente en vez de huir se queda en cuclillas quieta en el suelo diciendo sandeces sin sentido... En fin, insultante.

    Lo único salvable de este juego es "disfrutar" de la película, ver a Keanu Reeves hacer de rockero malote, tener alguna aventura sexual y tratar de olvidarse de todas las cosas malas que tiene el juego mientras intentas disfrutar de los poquito que se puede salvar. Porque no es un mundo abierto ni de broma porque además de estar lleno de muros invisibles de nivel con enemigos esponja con cantidades absurdas de vida, la exploración no es nada gratificante debido al chapucero sistema de loot del juego, ¿Para que explorar si tengo una katana y 200 granadas desde el minuto 1?

    El árbol de habilidades y las posibilidades de creación de diferentes personajes es insultante y simplona si lo comparamos con cuberpunk original pues han obviado reglas tan básicas del género como que meterse implantes te hace perder carisma y humanidad además de poder generar problemas de salud. En este juego esa opción de superpoderes vs humanidad sencillamente no existe, métete implantes cibernéticos que ni a tu cuerpo, ni a tu cerebro ni a la sociedad le importa un carajo.

    Un juego que si proviniera de un estudio pequeño y sin recursos podría ser perdonado y animado a mejorarse pero siendo quienes son los desarrolladores estamos ante un caso claro de hype, falsas espectativas, gameplays y trailers engañosos y un resultado final muy mediocre y decadente. Por ello merece un castigo y una nota estricta y negativa.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Cons: The AI is very bad, The gigs suck with almost no variety at all, There is WAYYYY too much bugs even on the PC/Console, The driving sucks, You can't do anything with any of the NPC'S, The physics are so bad to the point that San Andreas a game that was made in 2002 has better physics than this, Most of the content in the open world/ NCPD shootouts are boring as hell, This game is not an RPG like it was marketed to be like, Most of the time when you run over a person they will fall over like a ragdoll with no bones, There is only one useful cyberware the other ones are practically useless, The fighting is very very very bad, Don't bother to spend your skill points on intelligence because you will never use hacking, Sometimes when you are in a fire fight between enemies they will look like PS1 characters, Most of your actions don't have consequences, And also your life paths are useless
    VERDICT:
    This game is very unfinished in its state right now and has many problems even without the glitches and bugs . I hope this game becomes like No Man's Sky and it improves after DLC'S but for now I do not recommend this game to anyone.

    I think most people will agree about the fact that the melee combat wasn't very fun.
    The game was also way shorter than I initially thought it would be and the dialogues could be pretty unengaging at a times.

    When I played right after release the sound was really broken. Many places didn't have background sounds at all and lost were muted. Like tvs all around were so muted I couldn't hear what they said, and radio in cars was completely silent. So my experience of this game was a rather silent one with hardly any music, and that really surprised me since the music was such a vital part of The Witcher. Now, I don't know if they've fixed the sound problems; I haven't replayed the game after I finished it.

    My overall view of the game is that it's pretty fun, you can kill some time with it, but definitely not the immersive experience I was expecting.

The RPG mechanics are okay, but nothing ground breaking. The best way to approach this game is the following: Are you a fan of Deus Ex? Would you like more color and an open world with RPG looting mechanics in exchange for giving up player choice? If yes to both of those, then this will be a good fit.

    If however you want that player choice, you won't really find it here. If you want stuff that has player choices, play Fallout, Skyrim, Mass Effect, Deus Ex, or one of the many other vetted titles out there known for encouraging player choice. Dark Souls has more player choice than this game does.

    Combat is all over the place. They nerfed the skills that were overpowered, and fixed most of the bugs. The problem is, the skills were overpowered because of the bugs, so now they function correctly in the worst possible way. You can still make a powerful character but only in a boring "big numbers go brrrr" kind of way.

You get inside of the back of the van and the second NPC drive you both to a safe house. Both you and the NPC sit in silence, awkwardly staring at each other, without saying a word for what feels like an eternity. And yes, you can skip the whole thing, but you can also not skip it and I don't understand why the game doesn't automatically skip the drive (specially given that many, many other times an NPC drives you somewhere the game just decides to skip the whole thing). That's this game for me. For every great moment you have an awkward and very long sit through in silence in the back of the van.

    I don't know if this review is going to help anybody, I don't think it will but there are like a million reviews already so who cares.

    I don't know what there is to discuss when in 2 years of updates the game is not what we were presented with.
    The characters, the story, the music are on a high level and that's where the game's pluses end. It's only a year and a half after release that the npc's have started to respond to world events. Just think about it.

    Far from the revolutionary product they promised.

    The truth is that I'm disappointed. I tried to play it on 1.6 and left it, now I've tried again with 1.61 and finished it with a couple of endings (and in a hurry). The graphics and the main story are quite spectacular, however and unfortunately, it's not enough for me. A game feeling from 10 years ago (FarCry 3 is more polished),

    The graphics and the main story are quite spectacular, however and unfortunately, it's not enough for me.

    A game feeling from 10 years ago (FarCry 3 is more polished), mediocre physics (errors and more errors), mediocre driving, mediocre immersion, mediocre city, mediocre role elements, mediocre animations...The map is not like RDR2 or Witcher, where you feel the immensity and infinite possibilities. You can run around the city for hours without extraordinary events or strange appearances (apart from bugs). This is just a cool (and death) city to make pics, nothing else.

    It was a very bad decision not to put a third-person mode in a game where aesthetics are so important, or at least in conversations, to come out in third-person mode and see the character talk, gesture, etc, something like Mass Effect. It's incredible that the only place we can see this is in the mirror of our house, that disconnected me a lot from the experience (notice that the third-person mod is garbage, in case someone thinks it fixes it).

    The duality with Keanu is something original although I didn't love it, I like to identify myself and connect with the characters, a dual character complicates that task for me. On the other hand, the fact of finding out that you are dying so soon hurts the game for me, it does not make any sense to buy cars or motorcycles or houses if you are desperate to cure yourself or find a solution to your chip. The only thing I want in those circumstances is to beat the game quickly. (In RDR2 you get tuberculosis when you go to 80% of the game, that's well in place to speed up the end, but in the rest of the game, please let me enjoy for God's sake)

    This game lacked a lot of care, attention and dedication, the truth is that I don't understand what they did for so long and so many extensions because the game gives a lot of feeling of being incomplete.

    I see The Witcher 3 and then I see Cyberpunk and I don't understand anything...

    Let's hope the guys from CDProject get back on track.

    Painfully average in every aspect. Now i get the whole marketing frenzy. Since the game feels severely dated and offers nothing much new, they had to make due by LYING.

    The world is open, but empty. NPCs keep asking if they know the PC, and that's it. That's the interaction. You can also pet animals. Wow. You can participate in shootouts throughout the city, to no overall effect

    You can participate in shootouts throughout the city, to no overall effect except that you can loot the dead.

    Weapons are mostly interesting in design, but the gunplay is a bit boring. it is a Looter-Shooter, but maybe shouldn't have been. I think a better effect would've been made, just keeping the game a standard FPS with tiny RPG elements, like Deus Ex or System Shock. Also, the driving mode feels unbalanced, in need of a fix.

    I'm not gonna knock the graphics, it's all good. But it's not core for good gameplay, so when the gameplay is dull and repetitive, the cool, edgy graphics feel wasted. Same goes with audio. Not a huge fan of the whole "futuristic beats" either. Too grating, distractingly aggressive, all the time.

    CD ProjektRed literally TORTURED their employees with constant crunch, for FIVE YEARS, just to get THIS result? That is a literal effin shame. What a waste of an obviously competent workforce.

    Mediocre.

    Greed, mismanagement, stupidity, cynicism, crunch have made what was supposed to be a masterpiece an absolute joke. I feel sorry for the developers who worked on it, because a wave of hatred is pouring out on them, but people seem to forget that the programmers are their managers and the owners of the company.

The lack of reaction from the CDPR's management, the lack of apologies for this ridiculous joke, which is this premiere, in my eyes deprives Reds of the rest of the respect I had for them. I could give a note 0, but that wouldn't be fair to the programmers - that's why I give as much as I gave. Nice alpha version - the beta version will be in a year's time, in two years' time there will be a GOTY edition, which may be a complete product only then. That's all if CDPR will exist until then, which I can't wish for them at this stage. Shame. Expand

    A bit disappointing. Nowhere near the witcher 3 or other games of the decade like Zelda Breath of the wild, GTA V or Persona 5. I have a 2079 but its also too demanding compared to similiar games. Once the glitches are fixed I'll change the score to a 7. Not everyone has a 3000 gpu to play the gamw

    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.
