    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those amazing games that you get every once in awhile. Similar to a Fallout game, Cyberpunk offers a giant, dense open-world with plenty of side jobs to do. Other than the missions and side missions, there's not much to do other than random events. Or at least, from my 15 hours of gameplay, that's all I could manage to find.

    However, given the open world isn't
    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those amazing games that you get every once in awhile. Similar to a Fallout game, Cyberpunk offers a giant, dense open-world with plenty of side jobs to do. Other than the missions and side missions, there's not much to do other than random events. Or at least, from my 15 hours of gameplay, that's all I could manage to find.

    However, given the open world isn't like Grand Theft Auto, and the driving mechanics are bad, I still think the RPG elements and story are the strongest parts of the game. As I'm writing this review, I see someone saying "The gunplay is clunky and unsatisfying. Stealth is uninspiring." and to that I say, it's an RPG experience. The reason the gunplay is clunky is because your character isn't a trained gunman, and they need experience before they get to the point where you are running around headshotting everyone with a single bullet. But until that point, you are an untrained mercenary who is trying to reach the top. The same can also be said about the stealth mechanics. You're only as good as you make your character to be. Think of an RPG like The Elder Scrolls, you're not going to be a master swordsman at level 1.

    I really want to get into this game with this review, but I also want to stay spoiler free. All I can say is that this game has already made me cry with it's story telling. If you ever have the chance to experience this, I highly recommend doing so.

    Buggy and graphical issues on my base ps4. I was walking towards one NPC and suddenly fell into the ground and died. Loading screen appeared, got back onto the game and fell into the ground and died again. And it kept repeating until I restarted the game. Gameplay and storylines are good. It would be better to enjoy if it doesn't make me feel like playing through a blurry eye.

People acting like they can’t play it seem to well just be acting. I loved the Witcher and this is that game in a different setting with guns and first person perspective. Gun play is fine, I haven’t played COD since black ops two, this is as good as that but it’s an RPG so enemies are a bit more spongy. Driving is better the. GTA. Characters feel immersive. City is immersive if you don’t go looking for glitches which is what most negative reviewers seemed to do. This isn’t Mass Effect Andromeda (which sucked compared to the original mass effect trilogy. It’s a good game that has a few bugs... who cares? I play most my RPG games heavily modded and guess what, so do they. It’s not the end of the world to reload a save. Quit crying because I like these games. I’m tired of BS carbon clones like Fallout and new BioWare stuff. We can’t have nice things if idiots pile on because it’s not perfect. Do you like the Witcher? Yes? Buy it. Do you Like RPG’s? Yes? Buy it.
    Do you need your game to be perfect? No? Buy it. Yes? Wait a few months and catch the first steam sale once it’s been updated and buy it. It’s a great game that will only get better. I’ve played RPGS since the original Baldar’s gate was released and Fallout 1. This is a great RPG. Nothing more to say.

    Mind-blowing. So far I've only encountered one minor bug in 15hrs of playtime. Combat is expansive and engaging. Story is one powerful gut-punch after another. World is the most beautiful yet created in games. And I'm playing on an old base model Xbox one.

    Well, the game runs on ultra 2560x1080 on my machine 60 fps with not hiccups, and I am only running a 1070ti. As for bugs, while I do run into the occasional one, most of the ones I heard about in reviews were fixed in the Day 1 patch and most of the ones I noticed in my game got fixed in the 1.4 hotfix.
    As for story and gameplay, I love the writing for these quests. And the references

And to top it off the combat design is fun. I love slowing time and popping headshots, or slicing a guy from behind with a katana, throwing knives, etc. It is so nice to see elements experimented with in other games enhanced and blended here.

    FINAL EDIT AT THE END!

    Made this account just for the review of this due to the sheer amount of hate this game is getting.
    I cannot understand why and how people set the expectations for a game so high that it is even more hyped up than the F**king second cuming of Jesus. It is not the most groundbreaking game ever, it has bugs definitely but we also have to keep in mind where this game is coming from. TW3 was the first BIG game for CDPR, they have done nothing like it before just look at the first two Witcher games and then imagine to completely change your style from medieval fantasy to retro-futuristic. I bet it wasn't the easiest project in their life and IMHO the game could have been longer in development, at least 1-2 years but also imagine the outrage mob going after the devs with death threats and the usual "I am consumer I want now" **** The game is good everything that says anything different plays on console or has either a **** pc or unreal expectations and should evaluate his priorities anew, which I think is the problem here.

    I say 8/10 I love this game so far starting with the driving and ending on just farming stupid gang mobs around the city. The story is good and engaging so far and I bet it keeps on coming.
    With future patches and updates this game will be a gem and I personally trust in CDPR even though they are corpo and did with their game what everyone does in the game. Sell it..

    On that note c ya in Night City and don't try to get your brains fried ;)

    EDIT: finished the game now and I am slightly more disappointed than before. 20h in before now 60+ and yeah.... What to say? The ending is rather underwhelming... wherein 2 of them are basically the same endings with slight differences on the way to it...
    Also as some others probably realized while playing they completely forgot that there is basically 0 level of customization outside of clothing, which IMHO isn't that bad as some people say.. If a combo looks **** then don't wear it. I didn't cause nobody forced me to and 2 points of armor more? Please got other problems..

    Dunno what to say... just came out of all the endings and I feel weird... it is at it's current state a 6/10 max...

    Because of the bugs it doesn't get a 10. Even though it should have released in a better state than what we have right now, in my playthrough I encountered very few bugs and so I mostly laughed at them, whilst other ppl got very shanked by them.
    Still glad it didn't get delayed on pc, although consoles version should have been delayed again

Seeing what they done with the Witcher 3 after a buggy launch is truly amazing. This game truly exceeded my expectations, a cyberpunk world that could never been made better with the current available technologies on PC, what makes it more interesting is that even the highest graphics cards can't make it run at its maximum at 60 fps which makes it a future proof game to be honest. CD Project Red has all my respect for their efforts and their mind boggling detailed world truly sets a new bar in open-world RPG. Paying $60 for this game is such a small cost for a game like this. I have been anticipating this game for years, and I am truly stunned but not satisfied with the current bugs and crashes.

    What gives me hope is that all the current bugs and crashes are fixable thank God and given the track record of CDPR, they will make it perfect... excited also for the next-gen upcoming update to PS5 & Xbox Series S.

    Cyberpunk 2077. One of the most anticipated games of the last ten years. After 2015’s Witcher 3 the pressure was on CDPR to deliver something and after multiple delays it’s finally out.

    Cyberpunk 2077. One of the most anticipated games of the last ten years. After 2015’s Witcher 3 the pressure was on CDPR to deliver something and after multiple delays it’s finally out.

    I’m playing this game on PC and I’ve got nearly everything on ultra in 4K and also ray tracing is on. This is with DLSS 2.0 turned on. I’ll come back to this.

    I’ve got about 25 hours into this game now so it’s a good time to stop and deliver a pre completion verdict.

    The good. This game looks good. Like really good. Ray tracing is something nvidia keep banging on about and saying how it’s the next step in gaming etc but in reality there are less than 20 games that support it. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of them and wow it works. The lighting in this game is absolutely sensational. Night city comes into its own at night time for obvious reasons. Wet rain covered streets and neon glow everywhere the eye can see.

    The game starts with a fast pulse. Story getting thrown at you to pull you in. Sadly though this is where it starts to go downhill. The tutorials come and I’ve played a lot of games and I can honestly say this is not a good tutorial. It barely explains what you have to do and just expect ms you to kind of know already.

    After grinding my way through the 4 main tutorial sections I got back into the game. More action... well. More running around looting stuff. I’ve spent more hours looking at the floor picking stuff up that anything else. The precision needed to pick items up is something that only a highly skilled marksman would have. It’s arduous to say the least. So what do you do with all the loot. Well... most of it is junk. By the time I found a shop to sell and buy stuff I started to realise shops are almost redundant in this game. You will pick up so much stuff you’ll have no need to buy weapons etc unless it’s specific items needed for missions etc.

    This brings me into the character appearance. At first I kitted my character out to look cool as anyone would in might city... after a few hours I found myself looking like a clown dragged backwards through a jumble sale. Why? The clothing has armour points attached. So unless you want to die within one shot you’ll have to slap them hot pants and rain coat on. Don’t forget your slippers and straw hat.

    The weapons aren’t much better. It’s a constant upgrade or the enemies will be bullet sponges. I found myself pumping 10 rounds into enemies heads before they’d go down and that with weapons I had only just swapped in a short while ago. The shooting is poor too. This isn’t a FPS but there are games with a similar viewpoint like Farcry 5 for example that absolutely wipe the floor with it in terms of shooting ability. I’ve mostly been exploring night city on foot but occasionally it’s nice to drive places a distance away. Well that’s what I thought. The driving is possibly some of the worst I’ve experienced in an open world game. The cars and bikes handle so badly it’s really laughable. You can crash cars at full speed and. I thing happens. You can exit cars at full speed and your character will just be planted stationary in the position you exit the vehicle. This is very poor. The map is almost unusable with thousands of icons littered everywhere. The GPS system in open work games is never good but I found this on to be like a big city taxi driver taking me on the longest route possible only to drop me off at the back entrance with no route in. Now when I worked out how to use the map and select a mission I thought I was gone clear... wrong. Missions are constantly popping up in what feels like a minute by minute basis. I can’t go anywhere without my phone going off alerting me to a nearby mission. There are billions of them and they want you to know that all the time. You can’t move without getting a new one pop up on screen.

    The visuals and story are what keep this game going but they are not without problems too. I’m playing on PC and like I mentioned early I’m using DLSS 2.0 to run this game at a higher frame rate. DLSS is known to cause some burring at times so I thought I’d turn it off just to see... wrong. The game dropped to about 5FPS. It was like stop animation. My graphics card sounded like a black hawk. I quickly turned it back on. While the console versions have been absolutely riddled with bugs I’ve gotten away quite well on PC so far. I’ve got Cyberpunk 2077 installed on a hyper fast m.2 ssd so thought I’d have no popping or loading issues but still I have cars popping up in the background and occasionally NPC’s vanish or appear in front of me. Like I said most of my bugs are minor but still annoying considering it’s a game of this magnitude.

    This is a game I really really wanted to love but sadly it has fallen way short of my expectations. It feels like a first person RPG looter where looting is the main goal. 6/10

    Y a las personas que esperaban correrlo con una PC de entrada, lastimosamente sabian que no iban a poder disfrutarlo como corresponde, pero eso es solo culpa del consumidor que cada vez quiere juegos con mejores/mayores graficos, tirando al realismo, y para lograr eso, se necesita una gran potencia

    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.
