    I played CP2077 since launch on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4 Pro, and PS4 original.

    CP2077 is amazing, but, amount of the glitches, bugs, and crashes that I am encountering is way too much. However, I can look past the glitches and bugs (graphical most of them) due to the superb character building and story line of the game. However, on some consoles, it’s basically almost not playable on the PS4 Pro and especially not on the original PS4 due to the frame drops and texture issues - even with the quick fixes. On the PS5, it runs great, but game crashes everytime you ride a motor-vehicle in dense areas of the game and saving constantly is recommended.

    It still is a great game, but waiting on the game to be truly optimized before I can bump up the rating. Consumers should have to deal with a broken game like this and this is bad tactics being done by the CDPR executives and shareholders. Developers, you did your best, kudos, and I hope you have a well-deserved break.

    The world is dead . No npc or cars in some places. Filled with bugs and glitches ,I expected something smooth .they even delayed the game to fix the bugs and but I guess they missed a lot of bugs. Gunplay and driving is not the best could have been better.

    Welcome to "DEATH" City... I do not know even where to start. This is nothing what they said it wil be. It miss about 1-2 years of development. The AI does not exist... Story is linear... If this game was published in 2012 I would say WOW, but at this moment it's a shame that they released such a piece of crap.

    Absolutely unplayable on the ps4. Feels like a mix between Assassins Creed Unity (bugs) and No Man’s Sky (hype). I’m not getting a refund, but it will be the last time I pre order anything from CDPR. This is Bethesda Fallout 76 quality.

    Aside from horrible bugs, glitches and other technical problems, the game itself is just bad:
    - Shooting mechanics are overall really bad. It doesn't feel that you shoot a real weapon
    - Gameplay is just dull - You forget about story when the shooting starts - it just doesn't matter anymore because you just want to leave the game alone - As everyone points out, the world feels dead -

    The overall feeling is even if they fix all of the bugs and other problems the game won't be good and interesting.
    The game design itself is just that bad.

    Shiny wrapper, empty box. Gorgeous next gen graphics, uninspired bland gameplay. Driving was a nightmare, how does the camera not follow while turning? The npcs were realistic looking enough but clearly acting as game ai which just had a very uncanny valley effect. At least genital physics have made progress since conan exiles.

    "The developer, CD PROJEKT RED, intentionally sought to hide the true state of the game on Xbox One and PS4" - OpenCritic, december 2020

    I'm playing on PC. To me, performance is good, bugs are there and fixable, but this is not the point. The point is, CDPR has stolen money and delivered a product which is not what they told the customers it would be. A good (and brief, 20-hour)

    A good (and brief, 20-hour) storyline won't save a dumb, dead world. "It will reach Red Dead Redemption 2 depth" a developer said last year. Well, this is not the case. You're put in a world where civilians have most a single sentence to say, and a single reaction to danger; where policemen appear out of nowhere (literally spawning at your back). Nobody drives a motorcycle apart from you. If you stop in the middle of the road, nobody is going to roadrage - they will just stare at you. You cannot buy food from shops that are everywhere - food graphics is awful BTW.

    These are not things you can patch later. The AI in GTA San Andreas felt more realistic.

    If I think of the heights of 60 hours of RDR2 gameplay and then look at this, it's an utter disaster. The only way to actually enjoy this is
    1) forgetting how much hype, money, and time was put in this game
    2) not thinking of it as an open world. In fact, if you compare it to FFXV for example, it works quite well as an action RPG

I won't speak about bugs, because every open wold game have such things but after 8 years, it should be just better and more polished. Quests you mostly not even get from npc which stand in front of you, 99 % of quests you get by phone, which totaly broke immersion for me, most of missions are scripted and are rly linear, I remember that before release devs told that there will be multiple options to play any mission like in true rpg, it was just an another lie. And yeah I beat whole game, even did every side quest mission, and must say it was rly painfull and boring, only played this because I paid for that and wanted achievements. It was the biggest disappointment of year 2020, and kinda very big scam for fans of CDP RED. It just looks like it was created by very small studio, and was developed for year or two. Expand

    After a long wait, anticipation, excitment, expectation that the developers of the acclaimed Witcher 3 would produce another epic game, the result is embarassing.

    The graphics in the 'open world' remind me of my very early days of gaming.

    The citizens roaming aroung Night City could be mistaken for zombies from the Walking Dead.

    Gameplay is almost non existant.

    They have overcooked the movie scenes and served up a shambles of a game in my opinion, not fit for playing on the overall majority of systems.

    Gun combat is laughable, Soldier of Fortume 2 Double Helix had better physics nearly 20 years ago on PC.

    Car driving is near impossible.

    I found to my amazment, it was quicker to walk around the city than drive as the frame rate suffered so much while driving vehicles.

    Holywood created the storyline, but the game play is garbage.

    It is an interactive movie, not a game.

    Requested a refund from Steam, but sadly, went over 2 hours game play in testing and hoping my early perceptions of the film were mistaken.

    Amassed over 500 hours on Witcher 3, but lost interest after just 12 hours on Cyberpunk.

    Not sure where the 90% Metacritic score came from, please enlighten us?

    First of all, I'd give this game a 4/10 but to counter these ridiculous "witcher in the future" and "best game of the decade" 10/10 ratings I have to give it a 1/10.

    The visuals are certainly nice. CDPR set a proper stage. It's the content (or lack of) I have a problem with. A lot of missing features you'd expect in an open-world game. Especially one taking place in the future and

    It's the content (or lack of) I have a problem with. A lot of missing features you'd expect in an open-world game. Especially one taking place in the future and developed by CDPR.

    No weapon customization despite the weapon trailer where they absolutely implied it with that disassembled gun shown. Instead you get a looter shooter like borderlands. And Borderlands does a way better job at that.

    No vehicle customization. And that in a game where you spend a big bunch of time in your vehicle. Instead you can buy some **** cars you never gonna use. Instead of a garage or at least a proper menu you select them from a list which doesn't even show the vehicle's stats. Is it fast? Is it slow? Who knows. You'd have to summon it, scan it and remember the stats for all of them. But it doesn't matter anyway because they all drive as if the rear sits on oil.
    And let's not even mention that in the year 2077 you still have to drive while looking at a minimap. Couldn't have been displayed on the street via your cybernetic implant so you could actually look at the city. Also the map is way too zoomed in (not adjustable) so you miss turns all the time.

    Crafting is is barely existent and pointless anyway since you gonna find a better weapon a few fights later.
    Same goes for the clothes you wear. You just put on whatever has more armor. Therefore you look like a clown most of the time. Which doesn't matter anyway since you're first person all the time. The character creator at the beginning? Pointless. And don't even think about customizing your character later. Not available.

    The 3 life paths are also only there so CDPR can mention them for marketing. They only affect the first 15 min of the game. You gonna end up being a street kid no matter what.

    Exploring the world is also very disappointing. What am I gonna find? A stress ball? An ash tray? Or even a USB stick (shard) with a conversation's transcript of some guys I never heard of talking about their favourite laundry detergent? Gone are the times of The Witcher where the notes you find were actually worth reading.

    Talking about the Witcher. You remember that even tiny side missions in the witcher had the content and quality of some main missions? Well, not in Cyberpunk 2077. You get a phone call, go there, shoot some guy, get money. Kill this, steal that, hack that. Repetitive and boring.
    There are a handful of side missions that are worth doing but the rest.......meh.

    The technical bugs and glitches will be fixed over time I'm sure. If the basic features I expect in an open world game will be added? I doubt it.
    For once I break my rule of "No preorder" since it's CDPR and I wanted to give my support to this (former) great company and then this.......

    It is not just a matter of bugs; the game is broken or poorly programmed - do not hope for patches...
    - AI is daft! enemies just stand still. and take all you shoot. difficulty is based on them absorbing your shots. just get a powerfull weapon and shoot... no tactics needed.
    - Cops appear out of thin air and shoot as soon as you get a wanted status. Even if crime is commited silently inside a closed room, you will get wanted status and cops will spawn at your location.
    - To reset wanted status, you just need to get out of sight, turn a couple of corners, drive away (no car chases) and you can just return on the crime scene, and cops you left there won't do nothing...

    YES you can choose a stealthy approach or cyberhack... that is a plus. Just watch out for glitches that will ruin your stealth run (disapearing walls, dead bodies falling through walls and floor...)

    GREAT story, definitely worth seeing all endings... watch on youtube DO NOT BUY.
    Some characters are well scripted and played. realy good job there... just go watch a movie DO NOT BUY
    Graphics are good as long as you do not look for details: so GREAT visuals, just do not look too close to single objects... but this is no big deal realy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. its hard for people to admit they've wasted their money sometimes, not for me though, the game was first teased 8 years ago, they've had more than enough time to get it done especially after delaying it for so long, releasing brand new advertisements inbetween each delay, their focus was never on gameplay, they're just another greedy company that saw an opportunity to sell lots of preorders under the idea this game would do something, ANYTHING special or different. But alas, it has not, the combat system is stiffer and less enjoyable than early releases of COD, driving is like driving on the moon and is less reliable than say GTAIII from over 10 years ago, the stealth system is worse than bugged out, it plain and simple doesnt work, imagine a game that holds stealth highly in gameplay, not being able to incorporate the environment into takedowns, if someone has their back to a chair, you can not touch them because takedowns only work from dead centre, point blank, where if you're lucky, the pathetic excuse at pathing will have put the enemy staring at nothing but a wall inches from his face, cause thats what everyone does yeah? Best part is, im not even talking about the countless gamebreaking hour wasting bugs, I'm talking about base mechanics, they're a minimum of 10 years outdated, worst game of the century 1/10 just for the decent story line and on par voice acting.

    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.
