    I have to literally force myself to finish the main story let alone the side quests. I can only say that the problems of Cyberpunk 2077 go way further beyond its bugs and glitches.

Genuinely, the game's not even worth reviewing. The highly scored critic reviews? I don't really understand what the game got those for. This needs a psychologist but I guess it would be determined as mass post-traumatic stress disorder or something. It's nothing like what was promised a literally nothing like Witcher. Anyway, it's garbage. Waste your time on something else.… Expand

Every kind of bug of every kind of severity including: t-posing npcs, flatlining after climbing something, climbing an object and getting stuck, crosshair disappears, NPCs don't show up as expected during missions, summoning your vehicle under other vehicles and causing them to explode, walking by certain NPCS just makes them fight you, models clip into each other during common animations, first person animations are janky and jarring, interacting with objects can randomly place you underneath the map, dialogue is uninspired and inconsistent, and essentially everything is thin a veneer that shatters the moment you try to explore.

    Good job ruining your entire reputation. This game needed another 6-12 months in development, that is undeniable. I've already restarted my playthrough once because of bugs and now i'm encountering more and am considering doing it again. But the story is already ruined for me, and it wasn't even good to begin with.    … Expand

I paid for this so I expect nothing less than the full experience and all I got was wasted potential, I have no doubt they want to make a franchise out of this so they will eventually fix it but it's just frustrating seeing how this behavior is becoming the norm, specially from a company that states to "leave greed to others". If I pre-order a game ever again, which I highly doubt after this fiasco, CD Projekt Red will permanently remain in my list of developers not to do so.

AI is horrible, police ''chase'' horrific, bugs etc. I am not too concern with technical part, because If CDPR wants to stay in that community and the market, they should fix all that messy technical stuff. But they did nearly lied us about every in-game content. That size of scam will not fixable. Finally, I am really sad that CDPR wasted so much potential.

Можно было бы превознести все эти плюсы над отвратительным состоянием игры, но мы хорошо помним гигантскую пиар-компанию и обещания издателей, что игра в великолепном состоянии на всех платформах. А что получили? Получили то, что на консолях старого поколения игра находится в неиграбельном состоянии, а на большинстве PC производительность оставляет желать лучшего. В итоге Я хочу сказать лишь одну главную вещь - CD Projekt RED стала в один ряд с такими "гигантами" игровой индустрии как: EA, Bethesda, Blizzard, и это действительно разочаровало меня больше всего.… Expand

    My friend and I both beat this game in around 40 hours after doing tons of side quests and sightseeing. Despite getting lucky and encountering no major bugs, we were both dismayed by the lack of actual choice in the game, with only the first few hours and the last few hours actually having differences between our profiles. We tried to get different outcomes in side and main quests with mainly no success.
    I'm sure that by now you've seen the articles about how few choices actually matter in this game and we can vouch for them.
    The gunplay will often be the most solid part of the cp2077 gameplay experience and it's fine. Just okay. The AI is terrible and well, they're not insanely fun to fight or anything... I like the characters. I love the characters. Decent movie, horrible game.

    So... Here it is. 9 years of development. Cyberpunk is 20 to 70 hours of actual content. Short for an rpg. (New Vegas = around 40 to 150 hrs, The Witcher 3 = around 60 to 200 hrs of content).

    _____
    The cops can't drive or chase you. Taxis and trams don't exist. The life paths amount to nothing. You cannot rob people, or even point your gun at random shopkeeps let alone characters.
    Just trying to prepare ya.
    The early reviews for this game were 9s and 10s by the likes of IGN. Those are the reviews that we saw before starting our profiles. Like a slap to the face.

    The game is not what was promised and not what I expect from cdpr to be an rpg game. Not after 'The Witcher'
    It is a solid story shooter in a distopian setting. This is the only reason why I am not giving 0 points. I came to accept that it is a good shooter with good story elements that is Buggy

    Now more in depth
    The immersion does not exist. You don't have any impact on the ai, they repeat the same 5 sentences over and over and while driving the ai stops within the blink of an eye in the middle of the road. Police? They bother about you got 2 minutes and then just stand in the middle of the road until you take them out of their misery

    Looks and feel. The cars are all a teeeny bit different but you can see your Bugatti or Ferrari and no way to 'Cyberpunk' your cars in any way. They are stale, boring and if you have seen ten different cars you seen them all

    Bugs
    There are alot of them. Many. Some are minor, not disrupting your game play but I myself need to reload every 20-30 minutes because my UI becomes unresponsive.

    I cannot pick up 30% of the loot. It just cannot be picked up. 50%of the time I need to Look somewhere different to pick them up

    The other day my character suddenly took out his weapon and emptied his magazine in the npc in front of me

    You see a car, look away and turn around and there's a different car or the car is gone. And yes I see that as a bug because it breaks the game play and the options you have

    You safe a game while crouched behind an enemy. If you reload the enemy is either somewhere else or faces you.

    AI would perfect if the game was called cyberpunk 1995.
    The gamers community had to find their own workarounds for several, immersion-breaking. graphical glitches, this is totally unacceptable.
    The story is nice, the actors are competent, but you are on rails, basically watching a movie.
    The majority of the secondary missions (gigs) are completed just by reaching a certain place, killing everything that stands, and collecting your money. I would argue that these missions, to some extent, could be procedurally generated.

    The game mechanics are broken, I don't see how hotfixes alone will solve the situation.
    Glitches and bugs may find relief, gameplay may be polished still, low quality mechanics, stupid AI and railway storyline are here to stay, they won't changed by a minor intervention on the code.    … Expand

    There is always the first hours where everything seems cool, then I did a quick comparison with Far Cry, and then I cried.

    - I complete every damn mission because of the dumb IA (Hard difficulty).
    - Immersive city ? NPC are totally useless.
    - every gunfight is just about how can I shoot them in the head while ennemies are doing dumb move.

    So what do we have left:
    - cinematics are good.
    - the ideas are cool because it is supposed to happen in a futuristiq env. but they ain't that much revolutionnary (again other open-world game already did the same but in a better manner i.e GTA, Far Cry).

    And finally since when do we accept an unfinished product as a final product ? When you do buy a car, or food are you like:
    - ok the beef is not cooked yet but I promise it will be cooked soon, meanwhile please take a seat and enjoy this raw uncooked beef.

    There are a lot of visual bugs in this game. In addition, terrible optimization, the stated system requirements do not correspond to reality. At first I thought that the game has a non-linear story, but after 15 hours I started breaking the game and saw that all the answers in the dialogues lead to one thing. Lots of cut content. Needed at least 8 more months of development.

    Aside from that, the core gameplay mechanics are driving, shooting and character progression - and none of those mechanics are well executed. 1. The driving is terrible.

    Aside from that, the core gameplay mechanics are driving, shooting and character progression - and none of those mechanics are well executed.
    1. The driving is terrible. Cars are slow (200km/h max with luxury sports cars) and clunky. Sometimes they get stuck on a **** and fall through the ground, other times they crash through boulders and trucks without losing speed. None of them have proper brakes other than the handbrake and require a deceleration prior to fully stopping. And lets not even mention driving on a motorcycle oh boy...
    I personally don't understand why there are only cars running on gas (why not electric in a cyber world), yet there are no gas stations in the city.
    2. The gunplay in Cyberpunk is decent but the guns are pretty repetitive. All that counts is DPS and there is no real distinction in what weapon to use against what target. Enemies are bullet sponges and don't really have any weaknesses you can abuse. If a character is high level, it does not matter that he is naked - it will still take you mass headshots to bring him down. The melee combat is clunky and pointless. You mostly just smash left click to kill an enemy.
    3. Character stats are mostly just +x% something. You don't learn any new skills or capabilities, you just make what you already have better. That makes grinding through repetitive side quests tedious and not fun.

    The story is the strong point of the game, but it is mostly carried by good actors, rather than a good script. Except for the main actor for the lead role of V, the voice actors did a really good job. V himself has a lot of voice lines which sound out of place, as if they were recorded without context.

    If they were going for an immersive experience in an imaginary setting, I would have preferred gameplay as in STALKER, where the character progression is less RPG based, but more realistic. The character progression is not fun anyway, as it doesn't contribute anything to the good parts of the game. Meanwhile a lot of concepts like dumb bulletsponge AI, who cannot see you unless you are 1m in front of them, are just ruining the experience.    … Expand

    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.
