    Same as The Witcher 3, CD Red sets a new standard of gaming, one of the best OW of the last years.
    It's buggy, for my experience, not so much, I mean, I played a lot of gdr/ow in years so I'm kinda surprised how this game has been pictured by people, and yet they're still playing games from Bugthesda and Bugisoft, lulz???
    There are even console peasants whining about their little boxes

    There are even console peasants whining about their little boxes (I owned a Ps4 Slim and a Switch, but only exclusives on them), too bad for them and for their best console evaaah, with films...ahem.....games exclusives.

    Revisiting my review. In 2022 you can expect a flawless playing experience with almost no bugs, with improved content and tweaks. If you buy the game now you can be sure that you’ll have no issues. Now the question is, is the game good? In my opinion Cyberpunk is the most immersive RPG ever created rivaling games like Red Dead Redemption 2 in detail and immersion and I’ll explain why.Revisiting my review. In 2022 you can expect a flawless playing experience with almost no bugs, with improved content and tweaks. If you buy the game now you can be sure that you’ll have no issues. Now the question is, is the game good? In my opinion Cyberpunk is the most immersive RPG ever created rivaling games like Red Dead Redemption 2 in detail and immersion and I’ll explain why. Consider the conversation system. Most dialogue follows the traditional system we are used to where you are siting down or fixed in place while the conversation is on going. But its not always like that. There are many situations where both you and other characters can often move around while dialogue is ongoing. The game has interactions planned for most situation you can think of. Unlike most RPGs characters move and express their emotions in every single conversation. Animations don’t seem to repeat. They pickup a cigar, eat foot, move around and drink dynamically while the conversation is going in a very believable immersive way. If you take a lot of time to continue a conversation they’ll react asking you for input. In some cases if you don’t respond quickly they’ll act with or without your response. It’s hard to explain and you need to experience it to understand it. But it’s a clear evolution of past dialogue systems.
    Considering the thousands of dialogue options and possible interactions this is clearly ahead most if not all RPGs created so far. Regarding quests. We all know about branching paths in quests and so on. But Cyberpunk takes it up a notch. I’m not going to give spoilers but to sum up one quest can have branches with branches and more branches of options basically covering every possible scenario the player can think of with drastically different encounters and places you explore depending on your decisions. Additionally, how you approach any encounter is up to you. Sure there is the typical stealth or gun blazing gameplay but with far far more options. For instance, you can use any kind of weapon you can think of. From guns of course to exotic weapons like swords or just your fists. Or perhaps no combat at all. Missions or quests are extremely well done with many options, many ways of completing them. I often find my self repeating a quest just to see the different outcomes. To aid in your playstyle you have thousands of perks and different skill trees of skill trees of skill trees to unlock your character abilities. You have some really well put up mini games that are far better put than the old “follow the trail” mini games. For instance situations where you need to investigate a crime scene for instance with a clever mini game that has several layers to it. I won’t spoil it but it’s fun. And there are many other mini games that reward patience over just rushing it. In the streets of Night City things happen all around you and you can chose to participate or not. Be it one guy on the streets rambling about his religion or some gangs fighting over territory and many other dynamic events. You can gain street cred in the process. These really impacts gameplay over time. There are thousands of items littering around that you can grab and check. There are stores where you can buy food, weapons and clothes. There are bars and all sorts of places you can explore with dynamic events filling them up so exploration is never boring. There are fight clubs and all that type of content you already expect in most games like this. There are hundreds of radio stations, TV shows and news shows covering game events. Also places that have no purpose to the player but are there just to set the mood of the city. You can hear thousands of conversations going around in the city and they don’t repeat. They exist just to further immerse you in the world and further give you context to what is going on. The world changes as you progress in the game. Night City is truly a busy city with day night cycles that completely change the tone and even the content available to you. Everything is remarkably detailed with no loss of quality be it in exterior or interior environments. Not like other open world games where exteriors looked good but interiors lacked detail often looking like empty rooms. This is the complete opposite. Everything looks as it should in a real life apartment, hotel room, store or whatever. And the main story. You can expect a great story, with interesting characters, motivations and a high budget presentation to keep you entertained. Without giving away spoilers it’s one hell of a ride.
    The game has a bit of everything for everyone. And even if you don’t enjoy some aspects of it, there is no way you won’t appreciate the amount of work and detail put into this game. If the game was released as it is now it would have been an instant classic. It’s a shame it didn’t. But one thing is sure. It’s one of the best RPG games ever and for sure the best Cyberpunk style RPG.

    Way too many trollers and perfectionists are ruling this game with blind biased.
    The real truth is the game is a great example of story telling in a futuristic setting based in a dark future, the game holds true to any RPG Book game, and this one follows the story exceptionally well.
    Riveting and heart breaking in many scenes it shows true emotion from the characters and the followers

    Riveting and heart breaking in many scenes it shows true emotion from the characters and the followers and friends you pick up along the way.

    I am only about 20 minutes beyond Act II, and this game shows great promise, I advise those that are looking at the bad reviews with a 0 - 1 to ignore these fanatic trolls and make your own decision on how you feel about something as this.

    In the AAA Game industry, you either like the game or you don't but this does not mean you condemn them for that answer.
    Story - 10.0 out of 10.0 - They follow the end of Cyberpunk Red and 2020 with a compelling story that holds true to the Book RPG and helps answer many questions in a scenario that left many of us wanting more, and now we have it in a visually inspiring game.
    Gameplay - 8.5 out of 10.0 - A few glitches here and there make the game have to be reloaded here and there, nothing game breaking or befouling to require anything but a few patches here and there. A great deal of customization, upgrading, skills, perks, and many ways to play and feel like you have the choice, and not geared to going a specific route because the game says so.
    Sound - 9.0 - 10.0 - Great sound track, a lot of things that feel very real to the era and setting, the combat music, slightly repetitive but can be forgiven slightly as the real sound is in the weapons, effects, and things that go boom!.
    Handholding - 10.0 out of 10.0 - This game lets you either accept help, or go about your own way of learning, no if ands or buts about it.
    RPG Elements - 9.0 out of 10.0 - A True, heartbeating, science fiction RPG with all the feel good that goes with it. Its in the same court as Mass Effect 1, a true prodigy of its time, and shows great work by the CDPR going out of their comfort zone to make something as great and spectacular as this title.
    Replayability - I feel I will play this game as many times if not more than Mass Effect, I mean full runs too, this game shows so much prowess in how your decisions are geared. Branching Dialogs, skill geared dialogs, and many things that have some what Fallout-ish / Mass Effect-Ish feelings and affects as you play.

    I've been a gamer for over 30 years. This has been one of the best games I have ever played. After reading about how bad the game was at launch I decided to wait. I wanted to give them time to fix the game, and give myself time to get a machine capable of running at close to max graphs at 60fps.

    This turned out to be an excellent decision. Saying the game is beautiful is a massive

I wanted to give them time to fix the game, and give myself time to get a machine capable of running at close to max graphs at 60fps.

    This turned out to be an excellent decision.

    Saying the game is beautiful is a massive understatement. The level of immersion was such that I have already played through the game twice, completing all side-quests, gigs, NCPD events, etc, and I still have to fight the temptation of going back. That is over 120 hrs each playthrough.

    There are still the occasional bugs but their impact is minor at best. Most of them come from mods I'm using and not the actual game.

    The level of effort put into this game is massive. The level of detail in night city is unbelievable. Even the smallest side-quest has good to excellent writing and design. The game's main storyline is powerful, it tells a great story. If you play it through in one go the game will not last you more than 30 hours. But that is definitely not how you're supposed to enjoy it. You need to immerse yourself in Night City. You will not want to come back out.

    I have finished the game as male V, I played on RTX 2060 super. I have encountered only minor bugs, that did not severly affect gameplay. I had stable 60 fps on Ultra settings (but with ray-tracing turned off).

    I especially want to thank the developers for making the character Panam, who is now my favorite female video game character. And the music. The music is awesome.

But so far, character customization, crafting, skills, combat, graphics, sounds, all is so awesome that you would need to make new scale for every other games to even get CP2077 here. Because eve that I know that it has many flaws, it is so huge and awesome that it would have to start on scale 1-10 on another level (like 13). You can hardly compare this to many games that got 8 or 9 and are way smaller and less enjoyable or are just simple, there's hard comparsion.

    For everyone that is thinking about buying - just watch some gameplay videos and decide for yourself if it is good for you or not. I cannot even rate this game while I am completely stunned by many aspects of it and again even that I know that it has bugs and flaws, for me, it is still the best game at this point.

    Amazing game, great world, great stories. Extremely re-playable and has lots of potential. Only thing that takes away from the experience are sporadic visual or audio bugs, that the developer needs to iron out.
    Performance could also be improved - especially for the consoles. It's an excellent RPG, but if you want to get the best experience you should probably wait a month or two before

    I do not rate down based on bugs as those will eventually go away, people rate this game at 0 cause they expected this game to cure cancer and fix their marriages. While I agree the developer could spend more time on the optimization and bugs, the incredible hype and pressure they had on them due to multiple delays and public expectations were so big that it was hard to constantly evade the release. Game is excellent - people need to manage their expectations, or they will always be disappointed. A must play title, something with potential to become the best single-player RPG of the decade, just give it some time.

    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.
