    After playing Cyberpunk 2077, I've looked back at older games I've considered buggy, and I laughed at the thought, on launch this game is absolute trash when it comes to optimisation and I won't even spell out the 100 bugs I've encountered, crashes, and the fact that I stayed an hour to create my character because it would always pop back to the first choice.

    Graphics are lacking apart from character and maybe gun design, but the world focuses too much on flashing lights, a lot of useless npc's that don't even load in and cars that spawn in after you hit them. There is no beauty of the simple in this game
    Combat is a boring mess, guns feel alright but the spongy aspect of your enemies make you feel very weak while your enemies are happy puppets. Stealth is in the same spot, with no take down from the front and from the only one animation they have for it, I would just leave it and go guns "blazing".
    The story is boring so far, they showed soo much content that the prologue just feels like I watched it completely on youtube.
    Because of the reasons I've stated above and because of the bugs and optimisation issues I feel like CDPR has betrayed their words many times and this is a game on early access that must be worked for another year before it is finished. The fact that I still am hyped for the game is only because of the mods that I think may fix this... it has a 5 for me.    … Expand

    The game performance it's just disastrous, the bugs, the glitches, the crashes to desktop, all these things for how annoying they can be are not the real problem for me, because I know that they will be patched at some point. What really made me ask for a refund was the AI of the npc's and that plastic emptiness you constantly feel when you interact with the world around you.

    There's always something going on that just breaks the immersion. Everything just feels incomplete and half-baked and desolated and I just refuse to pay for an early access game and act like a beta tester for free. Nope.

    See you in a few years Cyberpunk, when you will be done for real this time.    … Expand

Then to follow up I'll outline that my rig is nothing extraordinary. However, I do meet all the minimum requirements suggested.

    Currently this game is near unplayable for me. Despite spending 3-4 hours tweaking gpu; I still have fps dips about every 15-20 minutes that have resulted in no small amount of frustration. On top of this there are a number of common sense control aspects that have left me confused (ie. there's no way to exit dialogue. leaving you unable to pick up items near an npc who you've at any point talked to because the dialogue options will take over the screen). In less than 5 hours of gameplay I've faced two game stopping bugs (or maybe it just isn't intuitive enough for me, a big dumdum?) the main one being when I try and call Jackie to continue the main story mission; he never answers. Leaving me stuck in my current progress.

    But ignoring all of that. Let's just talk about the general world. After finding that I couldn't progress in the story; I triumphantly declared, "So what? This is an open world game!" Well. After running around for about an hour, I ran into a single random event (which i did enjoy) got some cool loot, and slayed with my awesome katana. However, other than that 3.5 minutes of excitement; I experienced very little. Most doors are locked. There are TONS of npcs, however there's no offer of random side missions (at least that I've found so far). But the most frustrating part is that there seems to be a "bounty" aspect. Where if you scan certain npcs they have done something illegal and have a bounty on them. Yet, when I kill them I am then in turn told I'm breaking the law and have a whole **** storm rained upon my head (which to be fair I actually also enjoyed. however, I'm assuming not everyone playing this game wishes to be the chaotic evil I tend to be)

    Now, I'll admit I'm no expert gamer. However, for a game as hyped as this game has been for the last year, it shouldn't take the highest quality pc and the highest quality player to enjoy it. So after venting through this review I will be waiting to both be able to upgrade my pc and for the game to not have as many ongoing issues as seem to be shared by not just me.    … Expand

The show is pretty, but you can only make it louder, quiter and choose the ending."

    Let's start with the good.

    Writing is decent. When hot-stuff newbies try to rob the mega-corp, you expect the poor bastards to be found and gunned down in few hours - AND THEY ARE. No magic here, powers that be come and crush you. The script is logical and consistent, characters are decent, they have their reasons and world is pretty deep and gives you what you expect from cyberpunk.

    It is good at giving player atmosphere, with music, flashing lights, and all. You simply need to stay on the quest railroad and it will be fine.

    And yet, Cyberpunk 2077 feels like a mix of witcher 3 and DAO origins, and in a bad way. It took the idea of prologue and backgrounds from the Origins but failed to understand the meaning of it (spoiler: choices). From Witcher it took the time-limited dialogue options, "the ending will be decided by one choice in one quest" and railroading.

    Basically, it is not an RPG. It is a game that is trying very hard to pretend (not to be) one. It gives you flashy upgrades, customization, backgrounds, but utterly fails to deliver any development on them - there is no use of customization, the background will only unlock a few meaningless dialogue options with no consequences attached, and the upgrades are simply percents of extra damage - no new actions or abilities. Looking at you, Aard from Witcher.

    It should have been a corridor shooter - damn, the game is on its best when it ignores the open-world completely and just teleport you from one mission point to another - and stop pretending to be an RPG. There is no roleplay involved. It is basically a movie with the opportunity to shoot at bad guys, but without any influence on characters by the player. You can only choose the ending from 4 pre-made by the developer. You are an observer, not an actor.

    It is Mass Effect 3 level of "your choices during the game do not matter, lol".

    I will give it 7/10, because the core of the game is well done. They simply should have dropped the open world and put it into a small, local railroaded corridor shooter with a lot of choices. As it is, it is half-baked at best.    … Expand

    There's fun to be had in this world but it's a buggy mess and the city feels scripted and lifeless, shooting is fun but the game is way over hyped. No emergent gameplay, watch dogs legion is a better open world game minus the rpg mechanics.
    Just an OK average game at present. Wait until its fixed and get it on sale.

It’s not exactly good either. It’s very pretty. The plot is passable, but beyond that it’s little more than a re-skin of Watchdogs with a few more mechanics thrown in for good measure. Overall though beyond the story and the looks, it’s not great. Combat is clunky. Driving is just... bad. The hacking mechanics leave a lot to be desired, with it being little more than ‘press X to hack’ with an optional mini game thrown in for good measure. Heck, they even ripped off the memory editing mechanics from Remember Me, a game more deserving of respect than the subject of this review. As for the cyberpunk aspect, I feel like they took a hint from Ernest Clines writing here - throwing in references to other cyberpunk works and borrowing heavily/stealing from them does not make your game cyberpunk. It barely scratches the surface of the theme and is, if anything “cyberpunk adjacent” at best. They had the potential to really dig into a lot of the ideas and tropes that underpin this genre. Instead they payed them lip service at best. It may get better over time. But honestly. That’s not something we should be counting on, nor should we forgive the mess of a release because it can be fixed post launch. CDPR engaged in some very **** behaviour, not just surrounding constant delays, enforced crunch and more, but also disallowing reviews until launch day, hyping the game in such a way as to make millions in preorders and the rest. This is not behaviour to be encouraged, we as gamers should be ripping them apart over this. What’s worse is the other games that have been delayed to avoid being ‘railroaded by the juggernaut of CP2077’ we may have actually had something decent to play this holiday season that’s worthy of our money. As it stands we have to hope that CDPR continue to patch and improve the game, quickly. I’m not sure just itching it will improve all of the issues but they’ll at least be able to get the bugs ironed out. I hope.… Expand

Sadly it crashes almost every hour and it is annoying to replay some parts or difficult fights all over again. But besides that the Game looks and feels amazing I found myself often just driving, listening to music and admiring the city or doing some side stuff. The gameplay is fun and addicting. The variety of stuff to do, buy, see etc. is amazing. And even if I just have played a little bit of the story everything just feels right. One thing that I have say though is that imo CDPR should not have pushed CP2077 onto the PS4/XBO. These 6 year old consoles are just not capable of properly handle such a beast of a game. I know that money has to be made but I am certain that it would have been much better to just focus on pc and next gen and deliver a more polished product.… Expand

    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.
