    Looking into current game ratings, I am really sad. Tons of hate with only two reasons: bugs and PR.
    It's just a cool story game. Not a sandbox with "Activities" not a classic RPG with tons of possibilities. Working mechanics and good main and side storylines.
    And yes, it's buggy for now. It took me to reinstall windows before the first run, so if you scared of bugs, please, wait till

    I was one of those W3 loving guys who was defending CDPR the whole time and approved of every delay because I was 100% sure it's just them polishing and OPTIMIZING the game to give us the best possible experience.

    I was very wrong.

    The game that we were promised was going to be revolutionary, new mechanics, out of this world graphics, enjoyable combat and movement.
    We got none of those.

    The story is okay-ish so far, but not great by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not that interested in V, let alone the other characters. Everything seems rushed, like this is your partner, here's a short video montage about him, now he's important to you.
    Also, they used that same montage in the trailers, one would think those are the game's action sequences, but no. They simply used a montage in the game and in the trailer as well so it looked cool, but ultimately is just lame character building. It's a shame because in my opinion, the story is the only thing this game remotely has going for it.

    The melee combat is probably the worst I've ever seen in a game. Boring at best.
    Guns feel useless since it's way easier to kill using your fists than guns.

    The worst part for me personally is the way V moves and (dear Lord) the car mechanics.
    Cars float all over the road, are very hard to control and totally not fun to play.

    The graphics are okay, Night City looks amazing, but the characters are bland and don't have much essence, they're all like live long like a boring person or die a hero, which is cheesy for this type of game.
    Animations are simply pathetic, how they are comparable to Skyrim (I don't like Skyrim) is just beyond me. Plastic faces, people react weird to you, breaks the immersion. Also NPCs are plain stupid, just standing there most of the time. You can press F to interact with them, but they usually just comment on the weather, using the same sentence.
    The game apparently has a random generator for NPCs, but I've encountered the same model appearing 2 or 3 times in the same place more than I can count.

    There's just something wrong with the game currently that simply does not make me wanna play more, explore the world and so on. The Nomad prologue is also incredibly rushed, almost like it does not have much impact which class you choose. Multiple choices are present in communication with other characters, but most of the time you have to select every one of them, or if you choose the "wrong" answer, you die. It does not feel like I'm making much of an impact, regardless what I select.

    They advertised the character creator as the most detailed thing ever. It's not.
    You can't change the height of your character.
    There are several nice hairstyles, but nowhere near as close as in other games. Also, there are around 10-15 colors for the hair, but 5-6 for the eyebrows, making it impossible to have those paired. Eye selection is fine, I guess, but that's about it. You're pretty limited with the modifications, tattoos and can't adjust any of them. For boob size you have small, normal, big, like that's all you need to configure there, but for some reason there are two types of penises to choose from.
    Saints Row the Third's character creation looks way more complex and offers more freedom to the player compared to this, and that's a game that does not even take itself seriously (part of it's appeal).

    Of course, the worst part here is the actual performance of the game. It's horrible, even on strong hardware.

    It also seems that CDPR thinks that recommended specs mean you can play on 1080p medium-high settings on 30-40 fps. How is that the norm for "recommended"?! How is 30-40 fps okay in 2020 for a PC game of any kind? That's beyond me and seems like false advertisement. Even Ubisoft has the resolution, quality and FPS you can expect with certain hardware recommendations on their games, and remember how everyone thinks Ubisoft is a greed bad developer, and CDPR is not? I was on that boat as well, but this flustercluck of a release makes me wanna change my mind. Just so we're clear, I love Ubisoft and their games.

    I could've asked for a refund, but I decided not to do so since I still want to support the company that gave me the gift of The Witcher 3. A small part of me still hopes they fix most of these issues, but I'm afraid they will not be able to fix the mechanics. I hope that they at least fix the performance issues, so we can at least have decent FPS on recommended hardware, but I can't escape the feeling that they missed a golden opportunity to create a game of the decade contender and just created another rushed product, one of many we've seen in the past few years.

    In this state, this is Rage 2 level of quality, with worse performance, and that speaks volumes.

    The art direction and the world building is amazing, as someone who knows a bit about level design I can definitely appreciate the scale and the crazy detail in this. Beautiful graphics with a very captivating atmosphere!
    As far as everything else goes there is definitely some issues, main one being random bugs and glitches that are hard to miss, this is not an EA or Bethesda game though
    The art direction and the world building is amazing, as someone who knows a bit about level design I can definitely appreciate the scale and the crazy detail in this. Beautiful graphics with a very captivating atmosphere!
    As far as everything else goes there is definitely some issues, main one being random bugs and glitches that are hard to miss, this is not an EA or Bethesda game though so I'm being optimistic that it will get patched up fairly quickly. Game-play is fun so far, I might update the review later ones I actually play it bit more and finish the main story at least.

    The only thing I find a bit disappointing so far is the NPC dialogue, I was hoping for a lot more options and decisions that take you on a different path. I was hoping to be able to talk to all the random NPC's that populate the world as well, doesn't need to be anything crazy but something more then a repetitive one liner response would have been nice. Like walking up to a random food joint that clearly sells something and you have no way of being able to interact with it, not even able to sit down if you see a chair can only sit if its part of the quest you doing or in your apartment. Very big open world that tries to look busy and rich, but having such limited interaction with it really breaks the immersion for me to be honest.

    PS: Anyone complaining about performance make sure all your drivers are up to date, and play around with the settings. I'm having no issues at all and I'm playing on Ray-tracing Ultra on my Laptop with RTX2070. If a laptop can handle it then most gaming desktops should be able to, unless you trying to push 4k resolution with an old potato setup then that's on you, don't blame the game!

    Let's be honest, I've seen a lot of videos on the Internet showing a lot of bugs. BUT I was not surprised by this.
    This game has not been made for 8 years, it has been started to be created only in the last 3-4 years, and for a project of this level it is very little time.
    I really like the setting, I really like the environment, the world. I love everything about this game. BESIDES

    Overpriced graphics settings and sound problems.

    Yes, I can play Nintendo with peace of mind and feel comfortable. The graphics are not what I expected from this project, but they are definitely great here.
    For 30 hours of playing, I have not had a SINGLE departure from the game.
    (possibly due to the fact that I updated my graphics card drivers to the latest version)

    The plot here explodes the brain so much that I PERSONALLY, closing my eyes to all the bugs, play on. I'm interested in history, the world, its elaboration, and not looking at textures.
    Yes, you can say it has a very strong effect on immersion.
    But I'll tell you in response, name me at least one game, without bugs, but with the same immersion.

    After 30 hours, I was satisfied with the game, even as it was in patch 1.03.
    I'm sure the developers will fix a bunch of problems related to the game in the near future, but even now it doesn't feel terrible.

    I waited a long time and waited for the game to be released. And finally I played it. She's definitely worth the money.

    If bugs are critical for you, wait about half a year, then there will be a minimum of bugs.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a huge, great experience, story-wise and gameplay-wise.

    As soon as they fix the bugs, it's gonna be perfect. You know what else was buggy AF at launch? That minor title called The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
    Ignore the ones crying about their 8 y.o. consoles not being able to run it as smoothly as your rig with RTX 20 or 30 series GPUs.

    In my opinion this game is everything that was promised and more.

Which I get. But it doesn't necessarily tell you the overall quality of the game. Which I would say is a solid 7. Some people hate the dialogue and writing but I honestly found it to be head and shoulders better than the Witcher 3 which was frequently awkward and forced. As a result I love the characters and the story is pretty good. If you're mad about Keanu Reeves acting... you're an idiot for not expecting it to be the way it was. If you've seen one of his movies you should know what to expect and it doesn't detract from anything.

    Does it live up to the hype and claims made by CD Project Red? Absolutely not. The world simulation is shallow and probably doesn't deserve the word simulation. though it was, for the most part, very lovingly crafted. The side quests range from cookie cutter to some being really well crafted and memorable. I would say that I wish the side quests seemed a little more organic to the city as opposed to "hey go blow away some gang members here for a reward from the cops!" These kinds of quests are far too common. But maybe they bit off more than they could chew with how big the map is. I don't know.

    In the end i think this is one of those games where what you think of it comes down to the idea and expectations you had of it going into it. After all the marketing, the only real disappointment to me, outside of things I already knew had been cut, is that the world doesn't feel as convincing and lived in as GTA V.

    Its fair to be mad at CD Project Red for how over hyped the game was, but in the end... you're the one who bought into it before you played it.

    The game deserves any score between 7 and 8. If you wanted a life changing experience then I don't know what to tell you other than that video games will never be satisfying on that level. People giving this a 0-4 need to grow up and turn 16 figuratively if not literally.

    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.
