    Hey. This is my first review on metacritics.

    What I liked about the game:
    - Very cool music.
    - An interesting idea with netrunning.
    - Great plot and dialogue.

    Unfortunately, my 20 hour playthrough was blocked by a bug after which the game stopped saving. This upset me very much and the desire to go through these 20 hours didn't appear again. The game support hasn't responded for several days.

    Disadvantages:
    - A huge number of bugs. Most bugs don't affect the passage of the game in any way. For example: appearing NPCs, graphical bugs, bugs in dialogs. But such bugs appeared three times, after which it was impossible to continue the game further. You try not to notice them because of the great plot, but at some point they become too annoying.
    - Open world. I didn't had no hopes on the game that the open world would be like in GTA5 or RDR2. But what I saw plunged me into despair. NPCs don't react in any way to your actions. You can literally walk through them and nothing will happen.
    - Combat system. It sucks. Especially close combat, from which you do not feel any impact.
    - The game is very beautiful graphically. But you can’t appreciate it as you drive through narrow streets and crash into half of the cars.

    Perhaps after 72 patches the game will be normal. But such a raw product was not worth producing.

    This game is a joke, textures doesn't work - it all looks like game from 2000

    -the rpg elements are for the most stats boosts and nothing more
    The only things that save this game from being a piece of flaming garbage is the main quest, which is actually good and well narrated, but that's it. One of the most successful Scam in the history of videogames, good job ccdp

    The game is over-hyped. Music is a strong point and then nothing for a long time. The expectations from the game The Witcher 3 were much higher. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

    CDP RED again gave what we deserve, a good story, bugs will disappear with patches, and players with older console generations complaining about graphics are embarrassing.

    This game is a masterpiece. The writing, story, combat, and sheer size is breathtaking. Once this game has some patches to fix the bugs it will be amazing.

    The game is clearly unfinished, and underperforms even more for console players like me. It should be delayed for at least one year more. I couldn't imagine how it was in the original release date back in April! First, let's start with what doesn't depends on last gen hardware:
    A TON of bugs. No traffic AI at all. No Police/enemy AI. Constant crashes. No things to do in the city besides
    The game is clearly unfinished, and underperforms even more for console players like me. It should be delayed for at least one year more. I couldn't imagine how it was in the original release date back in April! First, let's start with what doesn't depends on last gen hardware:
    A TON of bugs. No traffic AI at all. No Police/enemy AI. Constant crashes. No things to do in the city besides the quests. Quests that bugs and requires restarting the game to continue. Nothing interactive in the world. Configurations that are lost everytime you load the game. NPCs and ambient textures that don't load. Bad and unresponsive driving physics. Unresponsive and lifeless NPCs. Poorly implemented and inconstant lights and shadows. When dialing the Radio, it constantly freezes the game for a moment. Slow and unpolished menus. Bad implemented audio, like for example: when entering/exiting a car, the radio sounds are at 1 or 0, no realistic transition of sound.
    Cars that pop up glitching with the floor, other cars or NPCs. NPCs that spawn in the middle of the road, frozen, or going through the ambient/cars. A lot of other stuff, that others are posting everywhere and I can't remember right now.

    Now lets talk about graphics. I know that in a base PS4, it would be realistic to assume that graphics should not be like new gen, but man, its awful:
    Poor, blurry and glitchy textures. Blurry textures on buildings on very close fow. Panoramic views that relies on fog to not show long shots, and even then some surfaces bugs.
    And blaming the consoles is simply laziness.
    This is the same hardware that GTA V, Red Dead 2, Death Stranding, Last of Us 2, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and other open world games were competent. Even Fallout 4 and Mafia 3 looks better, by a long shot.

    I will not refund, expecting that in a year or two, the game that was marketed as revolutionary arrives. But right now, this game is my biggest disapointment in games. I do not recommend buying at the moment.

    To finish, this is another clear message about the ineffectiveness and harshness of crunching.

    In the immortal word of Miyamoto, "a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad" and Cyberpunk 2077 is very rushed.

    In the immortal word of Miyamoto, "a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad" and Cyberpunk 2077 is very rushed.

    It really could have been great because the game shows plenty of promise. Unfortunately, it is also overhyped and undercooked. More hype isn't necessarily good when you don't deliver and Cyberpunk 2077 really should have had another year of development time. Maybe the game should be called Cyberpunk 2076 (sequence to Fallout 76 and a year too early to release).

    PROs:
    - Great visual when you can run it
    - Has absolutely amazing soundtracks
    - Voice acting is superb for most of the characters
    - Surprisingly good level design for an open-world game this big
    - Gunplay feels on par with top FPS (rare for RPG)
    - Great writing and the captivating main story
    - Well-written and interesting side missions

    CONs:
    - Bugs -- LOTS of bugs, like, on avg. people get one bug per hour of gameplay
    - Non-gunplay combat mechanic (melee, hacking, etc.) is unpolished
    - Underwhelming character customization
    - Underwhelming romance choices (2 per gender, 4 total)
    - Generic dialog options and what you say mostly won't matter
    - Poorly programmed AI
    - Mishandled marketing and PR

    Most CONs are not fundamental so given enough time, can be fixed. When and if fixed, Cyberpunk 2077 is easily a 9 or even a 10 out of 10. However enough time CDPR didn't give.

    As is, Cyberpunk 2077 is mediocre at best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Киберпанк - это не только игра, но и пример того, как репутация студии влияет на её успех.
    Игра стала фурором геймдева 2020 года даже не успев релизнуться, но оправдывает ли она это?

    Геймплей.
    Игра не позиционирует себя, как мега-рпг игру, но все же подчеркивает элементы этого жанра. Левелинг, способности, атрибуты - все это основа рпг. И знаете, думая о них, хочется представить то, что ваш билд будет влиять не только на то, сколько урона вы будете наносить в определённой ситуации боя, но также и на действия вашего персонажа в ходе сюжетной линии. Да, есть дополнительные варианты диалога, но я не заметил за ними какой-то важности, что огорчает. Но, в оправдание этому, стоит отметить, что эти рпг-элементы гармонирует с игрой и позволяет вам стать киберкотлетой с таким оружием или стилем боя, который вам нравится. Бои в игре всегда интересные, а система "хакинга" расширяет долю экшена в жарком бою или делает стелс более разнообразным (спасибо геймдизайнерам за такую возможность). Таким образом, экшен вам никогда не надоест в этой игре, (а он будет часто, благо гринда нет) а квесты..

    Сюжет и квесты.
    Начнём с квестов, CD Projekt Red сделали хорошую работу, взяв за основу простые цели и сделав их них уникальные приключения в Найт-Сити. Здесь вы можете просто "побить" разбойников или помочь ИИ на таксисте поймать "злых двойников". Сюжет же занимает главную часть сценария и стоит на первом плане (даже впереди атмосферы), так, сначала нам кажется, что история слишком простая, про друзей-бандитов (прямо как Mafia или GTA), но, в какой-то момент, история принимает неожиданный поворот и меняет вектор. Наш персонаж, имея в начале обычную цель амбициозного человека, становится человеком с идеей (интересно почему :) ) и.. А вот дальше вам самим нужно поиграть, я человек не святой, но все же отдельный котёл в аду не хочу.
    В целом, сюжет интересный, интригующий, настораживающий и имеет свою индивидуальную фишку, но все же я бы не делал некоторые вещи предсказуемыми, а некоторым персонажам дал бы раскрыться на все 100.

    Атмосфера, город и пригород.
    Найт-Сити - это самое настоящее олицетворение капитализма, магазины, яркие вывески, роскошные дома... А стоп, эти небоскребы для богатеньких, а ты поживи в мегабашне(прямо из перезапуска фильма "Судья Дредд"). Атмосфера города сияет и ослепляет, тут нечего сказать.

    Графика.
    О да, самое сладкое для любителей некстгена. Приятный десерт... А ОБЛОМИТЕСЬ, Я СТУДЕНТ-БОМЖ. Но игра на средних настройках выглядит неплохо, конечно на более мощных системах все намного красивее, лучики и... T^T (нет, я не плачу, просто.. Просто я придумал такую шутку про классный современный комм и забыл её, но от смеха все ещё идут слезы)

    Хорошая игра, 8/10, а я дальше плакать..

    I have a moderate gaming pc and this is the best game i have ever played. The scope of the game is incredible. The graphics are absolutely amazing. This game does contain a few bugs but nothing like a Bethesda game for instance.

    This will be one of those games where once people eventually get bored with the hate circle jerk and it will be remembered as a great title. People that own base PS4 and Xbox consoles are having performance issues but those will be fixed within a few weeks, just like CD did with the Witcher 3. I can understand being a very casual gamer that does not wish to upgrade your console even after 7 years and two more powerful consoles being available to you, and being disappointed with the results of the performance. Many ambitious titles have had the same problems the last 15 years.

    The story is very interesting a compelling, the atmosphere is the richest i have ever experienced in a game (on pc), the voice acting and music score are on par with The Last of US 2. The extreme amount of dialogue options and gameplay mechanics are wonderfully impressive for a massive open world action adventure (rpg) title.

    Playing this game on a PC is breathtaking. If you have a modern gaming PC i would absolutely recommend Cyberpunk 2077. If you are still on old consoles like base PS4 and Xbox i would recommend waiting until they can optimize it further for these older consoles. CP2077 has a massively demanding engine powering it and the needs a good processor and gpu to help deliver, it is simply a demanding task to optimize for a old console. They should have just delayed it for these consoles and released it on pc until they could get it better optimized, however Covid has made work productivity hard this year.

    I would recommend not listening to the extreme criticism being offered as most of the love and admiration for this title is being drowned out by the minority of loud and aggressive circle jerkers. Or if you want you can jump on the hate train and miss this fantastic experience, it doesnt matter to most of us having a blast with this either way. Not a single crash has happened in my 20 hours of playing so far.

    All in all the vocal minority will move on to something else they can hate and bash on to expend their personal anger and feeling of superiority, and what will remain is a eventual masterpiece. It is absolutely worth every penny. Due to a few bugs this game does not get a 10.

    Диалоги по 5 минут просто задалбывают. За сюжетом вообще не интересно следить. Полочки как и основные задания очень скучные.
    Ии в этой игре поям безумно тупые. На улицах они ведут себя не реальнестично, в перестрелка тоже. Кароч полный шлак.
    Физика машин уровня ватч догс. На них просто не приятно ездить и у миникарты слишком большое приближение так что когда ты ездишь можешь на изи пропустить поворот. В гта 5 машины были сделаны намного лучше и ездить на них в разы приятнее.
    Редактор персонажа хуже чем в дарк соулсе. Ни выбора ширины плечь, ни выбора телосложение . Зато можно настроить член.
    Русская озвучка очень плохая. Куча мата который просто ни к месту. Он во многих ситуациях просто не нужен. Как будто слушаешь первоклассников которые матерятся просто чтоб матерится.
    Кароч мне игра вообще не понравилась и покупать по крайней мере сейчас(из-за кучи багов) я не советую.

    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.
