    A perfect score game? Never. This is an average game, with several huge problems that hinder playing. I was never in the hype about this game, but I was even enjoying it, even at 1.04 the game has so many problems that I gave up playing. It requires a computer too powerful to take advantage of the graphics, failure to maintain interest. Unfortunately, the worst surprise of 2020.

    I have only played the PC version.

    Cyberpunk 2077 looks sometimes very nice on my high-end PC but the game world feels life- and soulless. There are many obvious flaws, for example the AI of the enemies and NPCs is laughable bad.

    There are so many obvious bugs and constant crashes. It is in insult to the consumers to release a game in such a broken state. Thankfully I could get a refund.

    Disappointing...the No Man's Sky of 2020, great marketing, great graphics, sad gameplay. No celebrity can make this great. Unpolished with floaty, clunky controls and archaic feel.

    If a game's story, narrative and pacing make more sense if the player ignores the open world and just rushes through the main story, the open world design has failed.

In a weird way, that's the best way to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077, as it hides the glaring issues with the static open world from the player and maximizes the potential of the really good stuff, which is the story and the characters.

    First the good stuff. The game looks great visually. The art style is beautiful. The city is gorgeous. It's what I imagined a future Blade Runner video game to look like after seeing the movie for the first time. Shooting mechanics are great. Audio design is absolutely top notch. It sounds as good as it looks.

    The problem is, the city is a mere facade. It looks good and is massive, but it's a hollow experience. NPCs walk around like mindless zombies. Tons of stores around you, yet the only ones you can interact with sell the same garbage. Cars can be smashed at 150mph with basically zero cosmetic damage. I actually stole a cop car with three cops standing right next to me. They didn't give a damn.

    The open world in Cyberpunk 2077 is a Potemkin village. It's a facade. It's not real, it doesn't even feel real. I've seen more interactivity in GTA: SA, and that's a 15 year old game.

    There are some glaring issues with stealth mechanics where enemies home in you as soon as you've been spotted, inconsistent difficulty and RPG mechanics that are overly simplified, but I'll chuck that to either me not understanding them completely or misusing them. Nevertheless, my impression of them hasn't been very good.

    The story is great, and the characters are interesting. Every single storyline mission I've played has been engaging and well designed. This game would have been a lot better if it was linear, as that would have controlled the pacing and kept the player from engaging with the most disappointing open world I've taken part of.    … Expand

    Didn't have fun. Didn't enjoy the controls or gameplay itself. It feels like an RPG sim where you're watching boring dialogue with 2 choices that both give the same results, followed by 5 minutes of walking around in a terrible MYST-like game with basic stealth and driving elements that could easily have been left out.

    Got refunded so I don't hate CDPR. No performance issues.    Didn't have fun. Didn't enjoy the controls or gameplay itself.

    Save your money and wait. And if you already got suckered in to pre-order like me, refund while there's still time like I did. This game should not have been released in this state, especially on consoles. So far it's been alright on PC but still have immersion breaking bugs. I will buy again... down the line eventually, when this game is actually ready.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll keep this short and sweet with bullet points showing my disappointments with this game.
    - Barely any meaningful dialogue options, they are all incredibly linear and lead to the same thing
    - I expected choices, to be able to save characters like Jackie or Evelyn, but the game is linear as ****
    - Combat is average to below average, enemies are bullet sponges and they usually don't care about their safety and will just stand there while you unload into them. The ai is just bad.
    - The lifepath you choose is a 5 minute cutscene before it throws you back on the linear path.
    - Serious lack of romance options
    -The world feels incredibly dull and there's no way to interact with it
    - The npcs are like something out of a ps2 game. They just wander around and bump into each other and you will see the same model over and over, sometimes you see 2 of the same npcs standing side by side.

    I just.. couldn't care less because the narrative IS NOT built properly. The game does nothing to get me in and engaged and just does its thing. Feels very bland.

    Also, the visuals are ... controversial, so to say. Yes, a lot of work on design and lighting has been done. But many other games look way better on PC (Ultra, RTX OFF) and let alone PS4 that runs beautiful Last of Us 2 or Horizon: Zero Dawn like magic and at the same time stutters to deliver any sort of picture in Cyberpunk.

    Not to mention the poor technical state the game is in right now.

    It's a good game, but in no way lived up to the hype. Graphics are good but aren't amazing, Death Stranding looks so much better for example. The world is amazing, vast, full of things, with lots of cars and NPC's. But then the NPC's are braindead, and the enemies are idiots, i emptied a full clip on an enemie and he couldn't care less. The cars float on air so do the enemies.

    The shooting is nice, average.
    The cyberpunk theme is a miss, i found Deus Ex so much better at giving you this feeling, the colors are too damn bright, so many bright colors, the soundtrack is a disapointment, again Deus Ex soundtrack is so much better.
    The leveling mechanics are ok, but not that much relevant.
    The worst is that they release a unfinished, unpolished, buggy mess. Worst they hide the real game images before launch so no one saw the crap they were presented.

    Everyone should watch some gameplay before they buy this game and not because of the glitches. The main character is a bag and they way he delivers almost every line is cringe worthy. If you can get past that the game has a ton of sub par elements to enjoy.

The game is solid if you like looking at HD wallpapers and if you enjoy a good linear storyline with plenty of missions to do. However I score the game at overallLet me start by saying this game is around 6/10 on gameplay, 7/10 on story, side missions and gigs, 10/10 on graphics, 2/10 on open world, out of missions immersion, environment interaction and customization, 0/10 AI systems. The game is solid if you like looking at HD wallpapers and if you enjoy a good linear storyline with plenty of missions to do. However I score the game at overall 5/10 because the game was announced as something more, as a huge open world immersive game, instead we got half of the product and also with giant ammount of bugs, that no matter what specs you have they might happen, flying cars, stuck weapons, missions that bug out, etc, etc, you can check youtube the multiple bugs this game have. You can even shoot a trashbin with a shotgun and it just stays in place, I mean that is fine for a game but not what this game was supposed to bring in terms of enviroment interaction. You can play and enjoy the game as it is, for its story and missions, just dont expect character customization, open world and game immersion outside of that. Moreover, even the story is missing the interactivity, your choices don't really have much of an impact, lifepaths are forgetable, I mean they are nice gimmick only, actually if the game didnt have lifepaths it would feel almost exactly the same thing, and the story will also play almost the same. Again, you will have fun if you want a linear story where your choices don't matter much, like The Witcher 3. My main grip with it is that in The Witcher 3 we were following the path of Geralt, while on this game we were supposed to get to create our own story and follow multiple available paths. The factors, such as linear story and lack of open world make this game replayability very low and very much bellow what the game was promised to be. Overall, I recomment this game if you want to play a linear story in a beautiful world but even then I would wait for a discount as the game is not worth full price, with bonus that waiting might lead to the game having further patches and dlc that might improve it. If you want a game where you make your own story or open world immersion just stay away for this game.… Expand

    They did do a good job with the main quest line so props there, its what I expect from the guys who made Witcher, but they really need to learn how to make more engaging side quests and gameplay. Witcher suffered from similar problem, it just got boring towards the end because AI is not interesting or challenging. But the world of Witcher was just more interesting to me. Maybe its because its so foreign. Cyberpunk pretty much looks like a normal urban city. Sure there are some tech upgrades to people and objects but otherwise, it looks very much like real life. Which I find, boring I guess.

    I also feel like the RPG elements of character building are thrown in without thought and have little to no impact. You literally can avoid them near entirely and it wont stop you from trivializing the game with just found gear. Gear is also a mess. Stuff you find gets outclassed really fast and nothing is really special, not even the so called iconic items. Crafting is too simple to be interesting too and the economy.... what economy? Money falls off trees. Its only a small issue early in the game and then money is worthless.

    One note. I didnt have any major technical issues with the game on the PC. It fired up fine on high on my GTS 980 which is very old. I did edit the config file to allow for more RAM. There are bugs in the game, like NPC im-persistence and cars clipping into the ground (just saw it once) and walking through a wall. But nothing game breaking.

    All in all, it was an average game for me but I can see why some might like it. I wasnt a fan of GTA either so I suppose its fair to say these games are just not my cut of tea.    … Expand

The trailers and previews in hindsight look flat out shady and dishonest, to the point of feeling like a scam, frankly. I fully trusted them but it feels like they were playing me for an idiot all along.

    Almost all of the gameplay trailer content has been taken from very tiny, specific areas of the game in order to selectively hype gameplay features that are pretty much all cut from the game at release. Even the "story" trailers dub dialogue over tiny scenes from the game to falsely create the impression that much more is going on than actually happens in the game.

    Now don't get me wrong - there are some areas of the game that are great. The city design is amazing visually, and impressive in terms of size. But the game itself, the actual AI routines and so on are very disappointing. The city is dead. A perfect example is gangs. Criminals will just stand on street corners and basically ignore you, even when you walk right up to them. These are supposed to be violent street muggers!

    By far the biggest let down for me is the "next-gen branching storyline". It simply doesn't exist! You sit for literally hours on end talking to characters, yet nothing you say makes any difference at all. It's absolutely bizarre. Developers spent months doing interviews excitedly gushing about how much you can change the story with things you say to people, and then the actual story itself in-game feels almost 100% linear.

    In fact, the dialogue can even feel insulting. Characters will ask you to make big important decisions, the game gives you a choice...and then literally nothing happens as a result. Things just happen as they would have anyway. It's really annoying and it makes all the hype seem like flat out lies.

    On top of that, anything else that offers you choice, like "non lethality" is also pointless. You can knock characters unconscious and other characters will talk about how they're dead. Stupid.

    CDPR seem content to sit back now and become the next EA. A company that lies to their customers and doesn't care about them. They have completely lost the moral high ground over other companies that they used to boast about.    … Expand

    Its honestly "meh" at best - fully deserved 5 - Art and world while they look fantastic, its all incredibly bland, boring and superficial with nothing to do in. The main story is the only reason this game doesn't completely fail so its got 1 thing going for it, not worth full price tho in the slightest - wait for a massive discount even on PC.

    6. Lack of choice - Ok this is sus, cause I only played 8 hours, but the utter lack of any player agency in conversations is alarming. My char has one line that progresses the story or I can add a stupid remark or question (so far). I dont even have a choice in how to react, not to mention decide how I wanna handle things...

    My review of Cyberpunk 2077 can be summed up in this statement. “Cyberpunk 2077 is a gorgeous generic FPS”.

    I wasn't one of the people that was super hyped for this game, but I did pick it up on launch day for PC. A mixture of liking CDPR's other games, and generally just needing something to play lead me to do so. After investing over 50 hours in the game I feel that my opinion is more or less finalized on the game.

    First of all let's tackle the good.

    The moment to moment gameplay is fun and gets that itch for a shooter scratched. Melee combat isn't perfect, but it can still be fun slicing up enemies wildly. Driving was a pleasant surprise as the vehicles handle really well. And finally the dialogue and story is fun to follow, and you feel an attachment to some characters.

    Now to the bad, or more just disappointing.

    Night City is beautiful, and has so much potential to be a fantastic place to explore, but it doesn't live up to that potential. The city is empty with nothing to do. The vast majority of buildings are locked and have no interaction with the player. If you ever get tired of shooting bad guys the game doesn't offer you any other distractions to clear your pallet. The citizens of Night City are also lifeless and do nothing other than coward at the slightest thing out of the norm. Don't expect them to get angry and retaliate against you, or do anything else but curl into a ball on the ground until they fade from existence. Shops are sprinkled lightly across the map, but don't really feel different from one another besides the two shops at your apartment which have side quests tied to them.

    The RPG mechanics in the game feel almost like an afterthought since they have very little impact on the actual gameplay besides stat increases. Levels and stats act like a barrier stopping you from interacting with parts of the game you shouldn't be until later. Feels more like an invisible wall than it does RPG. Dialogue options don't really change the outcome of quests, and are much more there just for flavor.

    Finally I don't want to spend too much time on this, and it doesn't really change my score at all, but the glitches and bugs at launch are pretty bad. Textures not loading, clipping, AI standing still, the list goes on. I have no doubts that they will be ironed out eventually by CDPR, but my issues mostly stem with things they can't patch.

    All in all this game is a generic FPS with a coat of RPG on top set in an interesting world. Worth playing if you have nothing else and just wanna blast some bad guys. 70/100.    … Expand

    Open-world exploration and side gigs
    If you liked the anime and the idea of exploring Night City sounds appealing to you, I'm happy to announce that this is where most of my 64 hours of playtime comes from. The radio station called Body Heat plays a song from the anime sometimes, which is great for immersion. Cleaning up the city's cyberpsycho problem to that music was the most enjoyable part of the game for me.

    But that's just a side gig, and my thoughts of the anime were doing much of the heavy-lifting. Beyond that, the open-world can be a fun waste of time. Nothing too breathtaking, even if the game can be quite pretty. It'll keep you occupied for a good amount of time, and if that sounds solid enough to you, you could probably stop reading this review and buy the game while it's on sale and before I ruin it for you.

    Main story
    About 20% good, I'd say. I'll keep it quick as I'm dying. Jackie good. Vik good. Takemura good. Johnny has a couple of good moments but his entire concept becomes annoying long before the end and harms the pacing. That's pretty much it. The rest of the game is filled with biochip malfunction cutscenes where you're forced to fall to the ground and cough up blood and then argue with Johnny. There are also like 10 different stoic female characters that all act in a similar unlikeable manner. The writing largely consists of crass language, drugs, violence, betrayals, deaths, and a shallow "corpo bad" message that is never expanded on and merely shoved down your throat at every opportunity.

    Whether or not you agree with this message isn't the point; corpo bad isn't some novel take. You need to do something with it. We were getting somewhere with Takemura for a bit, but he didn't get enough screen time. The point is that the plot almost never makes you think. It doesn't make your brain dance. This is fine early on, as you figure more things will happen later, but no, that's the whole game. Choices don't matter, your playstyle doesn't matter, it all leads to the same outcome. Compared to Deus Ex, the main story of this game is a joke with no subtlety, even if I enjoyed a solid 20% of it.

    Gameplay
    So, get this. I tried playing this game the way you'd normally be encouraged to play most immersive sims (Deus Ex, Dishonored), meaning I took the stealthy pacifist approach. I also played on Hard. Well, that was a mistake, because CDPR thinks difficulty equals making everything a bullet sponge. How are you going to design a stealth game where enemies are bullet spongy? That doesn't work. If you don't take out your enemies in one shot, they alert everyone. Two shots can work if no one sees them, but it still feels like you alerted everyone since the combat music kicks in if they survive the first shot.

    The game also forces you into non-stealth encounters much more often than I'd like, so if you're trying to be a lightweight spy, good luck with that. It's plainly obvious that they didn't intend for this game to be played all the way like this, even though the developers claimed to be "huge Deus Ex fans" and one of the skill trees is entirely dedicated to stealth.

    That didn't stop me from trying though. My first priority, after paying back my debt to Vik, was to find a silenced pistol that would be strong enough to take out enemies in 1 headshot during stealth. The most adequate pistol type I found for this task was the "Neue", but I had to find one with sockets so that I could slap a "Pax" mod on it, which renders its bullets non-lethal for my sought-after playstyle.

    After many hours of completing side gigs to increase my stealth damage skills and going to every shop in the game trying to stock up on damage mods, I finally had my weapon of choice, which I still had to remember to upgrade as I gained levels.

    Now, you might be thinking that having to do all that just to have a usable stealth gun in a stealth game is bad design, and you'd be right! But it was an emergent goal I set for myself and it made me explore the open world, so I didn't mind too much. Just be aware that even if you bruteforce (ironic) your way into playing as a stealthy pacifist like this, you're still going to despise the bullet-spongy boss battles even after grinding, at least on Hard.

    I wasn't built tanky, and I avoided body augmentations because in any well-designed first-person stealth RPG, I shouldn't need heavy armor or super fancy body tech if I'm sneaky and clever enough. But this game doesn't work like that. My damage outside of stealth didn't scale very well even with a powerful revolver, because most of my points were into stealth and hacking. Since I had no armor and no damage, I had to blind every boss constantly by using flashbangs and various quickhacks, and unload comical amounts of rounds into them.

    However, the thing that disappoints me in this game is not the bugs but the game design itself. There is the lack of all those open world features that the trailers led us to believe we were getting and which would have made this game immersive. If you've got the hardware to handle it, the city looks great, but you soon realize that it is mostly window dressing and there is very little that you can interact with outside any scripted quests. If you compare this aspect of the game with GTA 4 or GTA 5 for example, then the Rockstar games have far more interactive content. Another aspect of the game that is poor is player interaction with NPCs. For example, the relationship / romance feature is very limited and simple, offering nothing new. Everything feels so obviously pre-determined and tightly scripted. Character customization is not much more than a choice of few presets and the ability to change hair and eye color. Again, GTA 5 beats this by a wide margin. Same applies to weapons customization. Skills progression seems unnecessarily complicated and gives you so little advantage that it becomes quite meaningless.
    My reaction to the first 10 hours or so of this game was that CDPR had pulled a 'No Man's Sky' on us. In other words, they failed to achieve their goals by a wide margin, but decided to mislead the public with fake trailers and false promises right up to the release date.    … Expand

Cyberpunk was inflated and over advertised to be this huge new game that was going to blow minds. Sadly it was nothing like it was hyped up to be and crashed very flat over all. I sat trying to keep playing the game through hours and hours in respect of CD Red and the faith in their company but I reached a point I just stopped playing without finishing the game.
    Before even starting into the many issues with the game, the main reason for stopping was just not being interested in the main story at all. I give the game little credit for the story not being how I expected from the endless trailers we were shown. Playing a mercenary whose main goal was to make a name for yourself just felt boring and meaningless when the game lacked connection or an interest into the world around it. Nightcity was just a playground of adult/sexual billboards or nightclubs with violence and technology thrown into a blender. One day after mindlessly doing another side quest of killing person (X) because person (Y) was going to pay me; I turned off the game and turned on another game and automatically felt happier just caring about that world.
    Bugs. Glitches. MORE BUGS. MORE GLITCHES. The problems were endless. Lips not moving when characters were speaking. Character models clipping through stationary objects that would cause random things to fly around. Several points of audio just being absent. Looting radius for items being completely broken or away from the actual object laying on the ground. Quest givers (or Fixers in Cyberpunk) being lagged behind the quest you are working on, giving you dialogue from a previous quest you already did. I personally ran into a couple game breaking bugs that made the game impossible to play or advance in till a patch was released several days later. Skin textures clipping off character models during small cutscenes. The list could go on and on for the issues with this game.
    This game wasn't all bad and offered some neat skill trees for their minimal RPG element. Hacking gameplay was fun and thematic to the game while weapons were fun to play around with. But not much else stood out about this game and I doubt I'll ever pick it back up after many content patches are released. I don’t blame the whole company for this disaster that was shipped to us. I blame the financial/marketing team for pushing out a game that was not ready. I also blame the public for being so greedy nowadays and not wanting to wait for something to come out. You can tell this was a passion project by CD RED that if given the full time it needed could have been an interesting game but instead was forced to rush the game and cut so much content from the game.    … Expand

It also isn't a damn cyberpunk game, as traditional cyberpunk themes are absent and you spend half of the game helping the cops or corpos. Soooo "Punk" CDPR. However while it is a disappointing game, It's not a bad one. It's kinda just "Okay". There are some fun missions and the shooting is pretty solid so it's certainly not the worst way to spend your time. And if you're looking for a game to just go in a shoot some things, while staring at a beautiful environment, then this is a solid option. But for people who want more than that, this game most certainly falls flat.… Expand

    The game has a bigger problem than its unfinished state at launch. It's a FarCry/Rage type experience that just isn't as good as the latest versions of those games.

    When the bugs have been ironed out (LOTS of work to do there) what you're left with is a mildly entertaining action game with RPG-lite elements. This is NOT the new Deus Ex, if that's what you're expecting.

    Played on a medium-high end PC and refunded after 1h play. My main issues were:

    Everything looks blurry. Textures often load right in front of your eyes.

    There was a lot of advertisement around the game's RPG qualities, but in my experience dialogs had 2 options max and nothing felt super consequential.

    The game is a solid 6

    Unfinished and such a shame, given the potential this game had. My sympathies go out to console gamers who had it worse than PC gamers.

    The trust and reputation that was destroyed with this mediocre product is so disappointing. Further evidence to trust no games producer and always buy after launch, never preorder.

    When this game does not run at 20 FPS on my RTX 2060 with all settings tweaked at the lowest, it is an average blurry buggy 3rd rate looter shooter. I have spent 3 hours in game trying each setting to hopefully get an FPS boost with no result.

    The lifepath choices do not matter whatsoever and the RPG elements are weaker than fallout 4. Gun play is average and the loot is uninspiring.

    CDPR should have delayed this for another year at least for optimization, debugging and fleshing out the features. Really disappointed and hoping for them to turn this around, like what happened with No Man's Sky. Only time will tell, but it's a real shame for such a lost opportunity and a real dark mark for CDPR...

    There is also a massive problem with how your character picks things up, does stealth kills, or uses a computer. The game has trouble knowing what you're aiming at when you are up close to multiple options. If there is a piece of garbage beside a valuable weapon, sometimes looking at the weapon from any angle will leave you with no other option than to pick up the garbage first. This is problematic in stealth, as picking up garbage instead of initiating a stealth takedown on your target is frequently interrupted by your character picking up a bottle of fizzy water, or logging into a terminal. This is especially problematic since this game has bad auto saves. This problem is not tied to key binding, and there is no way in the game to cycle between options in these cases.
    There are many problems with this game that entirely stem from their release of a half-baked product. It would take months of work for CDPR to fix everything. Underneath all of the **** though, there is a very good game, as is evident in the polished beginning missions.    … Expand

    Not sure if there is a major difference between the Steam/GoG versions, but I refunded my steam copy a day after launch and recently picked up the GoG version through a third party website that had it on a 55% off sale.

    (note, many things will be listed under good AND bad for different reasons)...
    GOOD:
    -Main story/side quest NPC's are well written. I found myself wanting to do more quests with Panam, Judy, River, etc. I wanted to get to know them much more.
    -Night City is stunning and filled with potential, but on the surface only. Likewise with the badlands.

    Bad:
    -Main story. Not the actual writing, but length. I was floored when I hit the "point of no return" quest. It felt as if I was only 50% done the main story. While I'm happy it's not AS long as the Witcher 3 or many open world games, this was far, far too short.
    -Night City...Like I said, stunning world was crafted by CDPR, but only on the surface. After an hour or two or walking/running to missions you realize that's all this world actuall has to offer. Mission after mission, not fun side quests. No doors to buildings to open and explore (open-locked). It's a beautiful but hollow, empty city.
    -Police. Forget about killing random NPC's, police will just randomly turn on you. Helped them a few times for them to only attack and spawn more while I was looting the scene. I also jumped off a second floor balcony in front of police and they attacked. Worst police AI in gaming.
    -NPCs. When set to high they really add a lot of visual noise to Night City. But that's just it. Visual noise. They actually add nothing. They are far too alike, will often disappear if you look the other way, will run away or crouch in fear for no reason at all. Like the police, worst NPC ai in gaming.
    -Cut content/feeling unfinished. This game FEELS rushed. Every time I immerse myself in the world, around the corner is something that makes the game feel unfinished.
    -Life paths. This was my single and truly only major disappointment. The ONLY night city stream I watched was the life path one. It was made out to be a fairly significant thing that would provide you with a solid and good reason to re-play the game at least 3 times. In reality? The only major differences are the first 20-30 minutes. After that the only major thing comes in dialogue choices which for my nomad, never made a difference one bit.

    Bugs/Crashes:
    -For myself, I had no crashes at all. Bugs for me also amounted to t-poses, weapon display info staying on screen, items not lootable on the ground. Don't recall having any game breaking bugs. Having said that, everyone's experience with bugs will vary. Looking on youtube shows that bugs can be a serious issue in this game for many.

    Overall:
    Compared to when I played this game at launch, I did have fun with it. And there is fun that can be had with this game, but it does require overlooking many things.
    For myself, it reminds me of Fallout 4. A very mediocre game that doesn't excel in anything but one that I can still sink many hours into.

    I gave the game a 5 simply because there were moments that it felt like a solid 8, but other times a 2. In it's current state it's a very middle of the road game, at best.

    Should you buy it now? I'd say if you feel the itch to buy it, check out third party websites for sales, or simply wait for GoG/Steam to offer a 50%+ sale. Otherwise I'd hold off still.    … Expand

    But, even with everything working as intended, it's just not a great game. The story is meh; the main character has a definite personality and I do not like it; really does not feel like an RPG in that regard. Looks-wise, sure, there are lots of reflections, neon lights, and what not, but it does not look amazing even with all settings turned up to eleven. There is still occasional texture pop-in on stuff I'm looking straight at and it takes seconds to happen. Honestly, GTA5 on the PS3 looked better than this in most open-world scenes.

    There are a ton of side activities that are not all that interesting and they really make me want to go in guns blazing because, though I prefer the stealth/hack game play, there are too many of these mini-levels and they're not clearly marked (as in, I'll wonder into a gun fight by accident and have to just kill everyone with a shotgun). That, combined with the gunplay being just OK does not make me want to participate. Another point about combat. It’s too easy on Normal and everyone’s a bullet sponge on Hard. Definitely, the cheap MMORPG approach in that the AI is garbage and difficulty is set with health bars. Ideally, the behaviors would change based on difficulty. I’m sorry, a headshot is a headshot, having to “upgrade” a gun to make it a kill is immersion breaking.

    The brain dances are a neat idea but they're, so far, the buggiest part of the experience (points of interest not being cleared, for instance; can't say more without spoilers).

    Add to that npcs walking through doors, duplicate civilians spawning, car AI (and driving, honestly) being terrible, and it’s not a good or memorable experience. Should have focused more on the core game rather than filling it with throw-away side experience and eye candy.

    There is so much wrong besides the bugs that I would not recommend anyone buy this game unless it is on deep deep sale and there is absolutely nothing else to play.    … Expand

The game still has bugs, glitches, and performance issues after this patch, and I find it difficult to praise CDPR for an update 14 months after launch that STILL does not make the game complete and/or polished.

    The problem with a game like this is that we spent the majority of the decade hyping it up and impatiently waiting for it to release while our expectations skyrocketed and never came back down, couple that with the turbulent development period (of almost 9 years apparently) and an advertising campaign that rivals, or beats, some of the biggest releases of all time, and you end up with a product that is set up to fail.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game for the roughly 40 hours I spent in it, but I will not glance over the fact that many people could not, the console releases (and lower-end computers) have been an absolute failure on CDPRs behalf, and I find it completely unacceptable when companies make promises and break them. This game had 9 years of development time and is effectively only playable on PC with high end hardware, and even then there are serious issues.

    Bugs. Call a damn exterminator level bugs. This is not early access, this is not a beta test, this is barely even a damn zygote at the moment of conception. The game simply should not have been launched in this condition, this is the kind of thing that gives game companies a bad reputation and it sticks with CDPR from here on out now. From cars inside the ground, t-posing drivers, HDR blackouts, and characters that can't move their mouths, to cars falling from the sky, being unable to "un-crouch", and subtitles that stay on the screen forever, any bug you have ever witnessed can be found in this game. I am a huge Fallout fan, and I can safely say that Bethesda makes less buggy-games than CDPR now... Put simply by Mr. Miyamoto: "A rushed game is forever bad, a delayed game is eventually good."

    Game-wise, there's a lot to like, there are some (emphasis on some) really well designed bits of Night City that make it a joy to take in, lots of neon lights, holo-projections, and cyber-modded characters that look really great, there are a great assortment of weapons and perks to personalize your character, and I certainly enjoyed the sizeable array of vehicles made available to the player.

    I think CDPR did a nice job in creating a city, but when it is filled with lifeless AI, randomly spawning police, minimal interior exploration, regurgitated event-quests, the same damn character model every 10 meters (seriously is this GTA 3?), and phallic items all over the place, it starts to lose its luster. Although... landfills, waste run-off, lifeless AI citizens, hyper-polarization in wealth... probably will be LA in 50 years, so I guess it's honest.

    The story has some good and bad, but I would lean more towards the good side, there's a lot of fun moments to be had and lots of quests I thoroughly enjoyed, and I liked the relationships (friends and romantical) along the way as they felt genuine and added some much needed personality to the characters, but I wasn't a fan of how it all wrapped up, to each their own I guess.

    RPG elements are kind of hit and miss, mostly miss. Your lifepath? Means nothing, it gives you a few unique dialogue options throughout and changes the opening cinematic. I wouldn't care if they didn't make such a big deal out of it. Choices? Not too many that reverberate through time to come back and make a difference. Character builds? While they can be unique, the perk points amount to being able to hack this or that, open said door or gate, or in a few rare instances, solve a side-quest quicker, nothing else.

    + New IP in a stagnant industry
    + Grandiose city
    + Fun character interactions
    + Story has its moments
    + Aesthetics are well done overall
    + DLSS implementation is top-notch

    - Way too many bugs
    - A few key binding options missing
    - Bullet sponge enemies on higher difficulties
    - RPG elements are not great
    - Lifeless city
    - Awful optimization across the board
    - V's male voice actor is bad
    - AI can be temperamental

    Overall, I think this game could be an 8/10 without the bugs, but because of said bugs/glitches, poor optimization, and a lot of broken promises around certain features, this game is a solid 7 for me. This will certainly make me look at CDPR differently, this game felt more like Watchdogs than I would like it too. It is a shame that people will not get to experience the good parts of this game because of all the surface level issues, but in all honesty, I cannot blame them for the 3-6 scores.    … Expand

The gameplay mecanics are really just a shooter looter in the 1st POV which is tantamount to a FPS; thus, this makes the game incredibly bland and boring. The unecessary amount of items or loot is just masks the barebones game. It's really an empty shell of a world with scripted scenes from an uninteresting story. To be honest, the anime which was released had MUCH better story(it was a masterpiece).

It appears very little thought went into interactions with NPCs. Why is it impossible to interact with vendors? In an age of AI, automated speech bots, and genetic algorithms, why am I stuck in the worst of the Deus Ex games from the 2000s? Everyone is a robot.

    2.) The physics are a joke.

    3.) Immersion is broken at times by things that just don't happen in any life. Why does the player lay sideways to go to sleep?

    4.) Customization was made out to be a big selling point. Where is it?

    5.) There are still bugs. Just watch the Linus Tech Tips review where someone randomly falls out of the sky. Add bizarre instances of super strength in the man v. car realm and shadow people appearing everywhere and you start to see the breadth of these issues.

    6.) There are things games in the 1990s and 2000s did better such as seeing a reflection.

    7.) Some of the interactions with the main characters are really cheesy. See the dime store novel reference.

    The pros:

    1.) Characters in the main story are engaging even if they have their moments.

    2.) The game is absolutely beautiful on PC. I have a 2080 TI with RTX and can play ray tracing on medium without DSSL which is cool. If not fixed, pick it up on Steam during a holiday sale in a few years so you can better understand the historical progression of graphics.

    3.) The game can be fixed if the studio actually cares which it appears to more than EA and BioWare.

    4.) Combat is fun and you can customize your implants.

    Recommendation:

    Wait to buy this for a while. If there is no fix, buy it when it becomes dirt cheap just for the history and artwork. As is, if you are in it for the immersion and game play, once the beauty wears off, it is not worth more than $25.

    I really do hope this game is fixed. If they pull a Fallout 76 and add more NPC interaction and immersive aspects, buy the game.

    I’m not going to overreact here and say it’s the worst game I’ve ever played, but it’s pretty disappointing. Here are the positive things I have to say about the game:

On the surface, the side quests seem deep (but when you realize only two or three of the storylines have any depth, you realize they are actually just main quests in the wrong section of the journal. 3. The colors and sounds of the game are refreshing and unique. 4. The gunplay and melee combat are pretty fun. Ready for the negatives? I’m only going to list the first few that come to mind:
    1. This game is not open world. It’s a linear storyline in a big box. There is literally nothing worth doing other than the main storyline if you count the few friend side quests as main story, which in my opinion you should. 2. Customization is nonexistent. The character creation at the beginning gives you barely any control other than skin color, hair type (which you’re stuck with forever), and for some reason genital/breast size (which ends up serving absolutely no purpose other than laughing when you change your character’s clothes or when the game glitches out and shows your dong/boobies through your outfit). 3. Lack of consequences. Nothing you do matters...like...literally nothing. Kill everyone, or no one...no one cares more than one line of dialogue worth. Murder 200 people in front of the cops, won’t matter. Want to punch a storyline character in the face? Sorry you can’t because they didn’t have time to program the consequences of doing that. 4. Glitches. I’m not even going to take the time to list any...that would be beating a dead horse at this point...but trust me, they’re everywhere. I haven’t completed a single mission without seeing a glitch that makes Skyrim look like a clean launch. 5. The cars...why? You get calls and texts CONSTANTLY from contacts telling you about cars...but here’s the problem...there’s no freaking reason to get any of them! The driving is horrible and the cars all drive exactly the same and look really stupid. The messages and calls you get about them are the equivalent of a pop-up ad. 6. The graphics. Oh...the graphics...keep in mind that I have an RTX 3080, so I’ve likely experienced the best this game has to offer. For the first 60-90 minutes I thought “okay this game looks kinda good...the skin textures are cool, the hair looks terrible, but okay if this game is enormous this is acceptable.” Well...the game isn’t enormous and only the main characters look good. Literally everyone in the city looks like a grand theft auto character except your storyline contacts and only half of those characters look good. The screenshots you saw of Keanu are borderline false advertisement. Think back to the days when a PS1 game would only show the cutscenes in the advertisements. Metal Gear Solid V’s graphics put this game to shame. Who knows? Maybe in 7 years this game will look great when RTX 3080s are on sale on Craigslist for 40 bucks. 7. Tedious. Most of the game is honestly tedious. Way too many parts that lock you out of certain movements and you’re stuck bored listening to the same stupid dialogue after a horribly placed checkpoint because it locks you out of saving for 20 minutes straight. I could go on with my complaints, but I’m going to wrap this up by saying that this game in no way deserves a 0/10. 5/10 is still a failing score, but there was SOME fun to be had playing this game, but at this point I don’t see myself giving the DLC a chance. Even if the game worked perfectly it’s just not a fun game.    … Expand

But then CDPR is always trash at making good kb&mouse controls, the PC market always being an afterthought for them after pandering to the holy consoles.

    The UI is extremely convoluted. WHY???? You got games like GTA, which are basically Cyberpunk in current times, and the UI is really clean and intuitive. Not in Cyberpunk, oh no, the UI is all over the place, with multiple keys doing the same thing, having to press multiple keys at the same time, etc.

    The driving part is really unfun.

    I refunded it to Steam after playing a little under 3 hrs, but I'm very much willing to give it a second chance some months later, after CDPR releases a bunch of major patches fixing all these issues.

And it's definitely not an RPG.

    Certain skills, like Cold Blood, Engineering, and Athletics are either obfuscated or completely unbalanced. It took hours of experimentation and online investigation to figure out, for example, that Cold Blood requires a perk to increase its xp (the only skill requiring a perk), but also that activating the perk isn't enough, you have to kill enemies while the perk is active. Using tech weapons is supposed to increase engineering xp, but it turns out you only get the engineering xp if you shoot enemies through walls. Kind of an important caveat. Athletics is not balanced to gameplay at all. The skill description says running, jumping, etc will increase your xp, but this is a lie. Athletics xp gain is tied to stamina drain, which is an important distinction since many skills reduce or remove stamina usage, making the already abysmally low rate of athletics skill gain entirely null. This is just bad design. I had to set up an auto-clicker to let my character jump for 9 hours straight, to drain enough stamina to only gain 3 levels in athletics. That is on top of the 12 hours I've spent actually playing the game, running around, etc. Somebody somewhere had to move a decimal point, because it's not right.

    Speaking of bad design, this game was heavily, heavily marketed as an RPG. It was based on a tabletop RPG. This game is not an RPG, which I would have known had I been following Cyberpunk news closely, as apparently they stealthily switched the description a while back to action-adventure. Just one aspect of the gross, deceptive marketing CDPR used for this game. They deliberately hid the poor performance on consoles by disallowing review copies. They also knew how buggy and unpolished the game was prior to release, which is why they only let reviewers use B-roll and trailer footage in their reviews. A lot of folks have reported a lot of bugs. The majority I've run into have been floating objects or dropped items clipping into the ground and becoming impossible to collect. Not that I need to, because there is already way too much in the world to collect.

    This game has one of those looter-shooter loot system designs. The kinds with hundreds of identical weapons that get ever-so-slightly, incrementally better as you increase in level. I hate this type of game. I'm definitely of the camp that likes weapon systems in games like Dark Souls or Fallout 4. These games have a variety of weapons, but the weapons have unique move sets or abilities and can be improved over time. It is a system that gives meaning to choice and to play style, an aspect of RPGs. Cyberpunk does have a crafting system, but it's largely useless for upgrading your gear. This is another part of the game that just doesn't feel balanced at all. The investment of resources into upgrading weapons is so heavy, especially if the weapons are legendary and require legendary components, that you're better off just waiting a few levels and either finding a new weapon, or crafting one if you're lucky enough to have found a crafting schematic. And really, you can only craft those good weapons if you've heavily invested permanently allocated attribute points into technical skill so you can buy the required perks. The investment just isn't worth it, which is an aspect that just casts a pall over the whole experience.

    I've had to give up on even pretending this is a role playing game. You get a character creator in this game because it checks off a box that idiots like me look for when purchasing a game. I spent hours obsessing over which start I should pick, wondering how it would affect the game. It didn't. Character origins basically give you a few extra dialogue choices, but I have seen no impact on game play. Most of the Nomad dialogue choices I've made have basically boiled down to my character saying "I'm a nomad, I can help you out with this," and the NPC responding "No, thanks." Sweet. And this brings me back to the loot system, which adds extra salt to the wounds. I wanted to make a cool Nomad merc, but because I'm lacking the components and level to upgrade the cool legendary armor I found, my cool-under-pressure nomad solo is wearing a woman's kimono top and cut-off shorts, because their armor rating is like double my legendary, unique Rockerboy's Vest. I hate this.

    I wanted to experience the world of Cyberpunk. My friends are in to tabletop games, but not really the genre. I thought this game would be a way to do so. The world is empty, with no interactions possible outside of driving, killing, and shopping. In a way, I guess that's what the world of Cyberpunk is supposed to be, but it wouldn't have killed them to throw in some mini games or something. Night City is beautiful, but I prefer Yakuza 0's Kamurocho.

    Cyberpunk 2077 shines in its characters, quests, and art direction. Otherwise, it's skippable. 5/10.    … Expand

    The Bad: The Game.

    Let me explain.

    On PC the performance is OK but the technical state this game is in in terms of bugs really is breathtaking - but not in a good way. It is crashing constantly, animation hiccups and t-poses everywhere, clipping issues, quests which cannot be closed before reload, npcs and cars spawning/despawning in front of your eyes and the absolute horrible pathing, etc. The more you play the worse it's getting. If these problems are solved and a ton of quality of life improvements are in place (seriously, there is no dedicated dodge or walk key and specific keybinds cannot be remapped from the menu at ALL) this is a solid 7/10 for me - hell, if everything is working and I'm cruising down the road with my motorcycle with cranked up pacific dreams radio it feels (!) like a 10/10 at times. However this is not thanks to the core gameplay but the great art direction, the sights of the open-world and the promise and wonder the world is radiating affecting my judgement. I'm hopeful for what the game can be in 2 to 3 Years from now with the bugs all fixed, the dlc content released and everything running properly, but I cannot recommend you to play it today. If you can wait, wait. I really wish I could have.

    Unfortunately the technical inadequacies are not the biggest problem the game is facing - it is the promise which the players have been given the game to be and therefore the game itself. I've loved this game the first almost bug-free few hours on my first playthrough for all that was (supposed to be) awaiting me in this world. But make no mistake, Cyberpunk 2077 is no RPG. CDPR didn't remove this from their PR material by chance. The developers (not just the marketing team or management) promised an immersive open-world with deep customization in terms of looks as well as character development in a gameplay and story sense. They have promised a fully-fledged RPG. A level system and a few skill trees with no real impact on how you play the game, perks just changing percentages of damage, crit, movement and reload speeds and a few branching quests are not that.

    To say this is a RPG, let alone a fully-fledged one, is a flat out lie. With cops spawning behind your back, no driving AI (or any AI at this point) for npcs, no customizable body shape (the character creator is basic af) or shops for getting haircuts and/or tattoos, no eating animations / ripperdoc animations / cyberspace / braindance outside of story scenes, lifepaths or choices not affecting V's character at ALL, bad crafting and item economy, balancing issues, boring unimaginative bossfights ... I could go on. For hours.

    The notion to get the game released this year, whatever it takes, is only part of why this game is in the state it is in. One could get teary eyed over watching the 2018 trailer promising so much. A few years from now with more content and patches this could be a good game. But there is something even all the bugfixes in the world cannot patch away: that we were lied to and there are decade-old games out there doing better (yes, I'm looking at you Rockstar). This is an overpromised mess, the likes of which I've only experienced thrice in the last decade of video games. With No Man's Sky, Fallout 76 and Anthem. Make of that what you will.    … Expand

The side quests feel like fetch quests.

    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.
