    This game is awesome. I am playing it on year old middle class MSI laptop on low-med in FHD and the game is stunning.

I know that now past gen (xone and ps4) have problems, but looking how old these consols are i really hope that devs will make game playable at least for enchanced versions so i could enjoy the Night City with neighbour. The only downsides that i don't think can be patched are hacking (but i think i just need a little more time to get into it) and fist fight (but again maybe i just need a little more time to improve my momentum for counters) Expand

    The good- Story, Graphics, Art direction. If these weren't as good as they are, this game would be a 4/10

    The mediocre- Combat- It's fine, but not even close to as groundbreaking as CDPR lead us to believe. Weapon options- There's a number of weapons that are semi unique to Cyberpunk, but it's mostly pretty bog standard weapons. Driving- Again, it's "fine". No where even close

    The mediocre-

    Combat- It's fine, but not even close to as groundbreaking as CDPR lead us to believe.

    Weapon options- There's a number of weapons that are semi unique to Cyberpunk, but it's mostly
    pretty bog standard weapons.

    Driving- Again, it's "fine". No where even close to as good as GTA V, way better than Watch Dogs 1.

    The bad-
    Buggy, poor performance,pop in issues, audio crackling

    Immersion- There's very little immersion in the world. You can't interact with arcade machines, sit and get a drink at the bar, etc... this would go in the mediocre section except for the fact CDPR marketed this as the "most immersive open world game ever". BS.

    Customization- Outside of the initial character creator(which is "meh" at best anyways), the only customization is clothing, which you can't really enjoy since the coolest looking threads have poor armor ratings, and no transmog. Can't get a haircut, can't repaint your nails, get cyber contacts, can't decide to swap your dick for a cyber-vag.

    AI- Garbage, plain and simple.

    Civilian NPCs are lifeless. They just do their pre-scripted actions and thats it.

    Kill a gang member that HAS A BOUNTY? 5-10 Cops appear out of no where to murder you. Be in the general vicinity of a cop? They attack, and then 5-10 Cops appear out of no where to murder you. Kill just about anyone outside of a mission, even if you're miles away in the badlands with nobody around? 5-10 Cops appear out of no where to murder you. Somehow run away with your life after 5-10 Cops appear out of no where to murder you? Cops completely give up the chase, there is zero car chases outside of missions.

    The game is cool, but a little not improved in terms of optimization. All users who give 0 points most likely did not play it, or used pirated content and complain about the game. And you just need to wait a little ...

    I don't know why they delayed that game for month.
    They said it's to ensure that everyone can play it at the same time with the same standards.
    So why did they program a pile of dirt that didn't even start? No help from the devs, latest drivers and all that stuff .. won't start.

    The best game I've ever played. This game contains everything that I love the most. AI, MI, Afterlife, etc. That's enough for 10/10 but the game is amazing on other points too! Graphics, story and atmosphere are great too!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 30 hours in the game, I can say it was a frustrating and disappointing experience due to the innumerable technical issues with the game in terms of performance and bugs. TL;DR this game had no business being released on PC.

    I used an EVGA GTX 1080ti SC2, an i7-6700k, an SSD, and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM at 2400 MHz.

    Here are the most memorable bugs I experienced (light spoilers, although I will not mention story elements by name)

    -Characters stuck in weird poses
    -dialogue not playing
    -Pressing c sometimes freezes the game until you press escape
    -explosion sounds and visual effects from a cutscene continue when you start playing again
    -Player will die for no reason on flat surfaces while stationary due to physics bugs causing massive fall damage
    -player will move at ludicrous speeds even though they are supposed to just walk, sometimes leading to death
    -certain items (like the Black Unicorn) can be upgraded a seemingly infinite number of times
    -dropping bodies down will fling them at high speed, causing detection
    -enemies can detect player character through hard cover like vehicles or walls
    -smart weapons often do not function when shooting at targets even with a Legendary Smart Link and confirmation of lockon, with the bullets flying around in random directions. They switch between working and not working in the same battle.
    -The "scan for a switch" objective in one of the main quests to unlock a safe will stay on if you scan it before the objective appears
    -game will freeze randomly (too many to counts; > 20)
    -game will crash randomly (three I can remember)

    This is in addition to performance issues with my 1080Ti/6700K combo on 1080p. Everything was turned off or at low settings, and my GPU and CPU utilization were both low. Despite this, driving around had an average FPS in the high 20s-low 30s with constant freezes and high frame times. It was almost as bad just walking around, with an average FPS in the mid-to-high 40s while the stuttering, freezes, and low teens FPS caused even more frustration. During combat, having frame rates in the low teens was quite common, with combat usually leading to high 30s to low 40s being the norm.

    I wasn't even able to hit frame rates above 65 in the menu. Again, this is with a 6700K, 1080Ti, 16 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM, and an SSD. I shudder to think about the bad experiences of users with less capable hardware.

    This game is average. That's it average and it falls flat on its face in the one thing that matters the most, gameplay!

    Game is buggy as hell, but it makes it no different in that regard to any other AAA open world tittle. After 15 hours I encountered probably 20-25 bugged animations, my game crashed 4 times. But what does it matter? Aside for the bugs the game is bloody great.

    First of all, I don't understand how Metacritic allows console kids to make a review on the pc section
    yeh sure the game has some technical issue but looks at it this way the map is twice of GTA and it's full of NPC, details the story is amazing too this game has a strong foundation and a lot of potential give it time and it's gonna become the biggest game of history

    It took them 8 years to create a buggy broken GTA clone with a basic as hell "cyberpunk" skin, horrid AI, and the most un-immersive open world experience since the original Watch Dogs. Do not buy this if you seek to role-play. You can't.

    It's just unfortunately not a good game. It has the top of the line graphics, writing, characters, and setting. But everything else feels so plastic. The economy and crafting systems are just overall broken, NPCs are comically unaware, base enemies need to be loaded with headshots to kill them, and netrunner enemies spam passive damage attacks from another room.

    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.
