    To start this review, I want to point out that I am an avid RPG love, meaning that I can overlook only serviceable graphics/mechanics if the game is able to draw me in with its story or world.

    To start this review, I want to point out that I am an avid RPG love, meaning that I can overlook only serviceable graphics/mechanics if the game is able to draw me in with its story or world.

    I gave the game a 6, but it can potentially go up to an 8 if the bugs are sorted out. For reference, besides numerous non-game-breaking bugs (textures not showing, objects floating above ground, T-poses, etc) I also had 6 crashes, from which two resulted in blue-screen with save file corruption.

    Besides all the bugs, I feel the addition of GTA style gameplay does not bode well with an RPG. It results in annoying situations that break the gameplay flow. For example, while driving towards a mission, you will sometime hit civilians; this results in the police placing a bounty on your head, officers spawning out of mid air; at that point you would have to hide for a while for the officers off your trail so you can start the story mission. While this does not bother me in GTA, in Cyberpunk is extremely annoying as here I am expecting to be able to roleplay my character without this type of interruptions.

    The story is very engaging and does a good job using cyberpunk themes, but at the same time it feels overly-linear without many opportunities for the player to influence it. I do know that all games offer only the illusion of choice, but for me other games do a better job at this than Cyberpunk.

    Although we are now creating our own character, this is purely visual, don't expect to get a blank slate like in Elder Scrolls series. V has its own personality and comes with its backstory in which you do not have much input even during dialogue choices - if someone asks you if you used a tech before, you don't get options to confirm or deny it, V will respond automatically to this. This did not influence my score, but I think is relevant for the review.
    What is disappointing are the life paths. At the start of the game you can select your origin, but the related missions only last for about 15-20 minutes and afterwards it is barely acknowledged during the rest of the game.

    Secondary missions are split into "side jobs" and "gigs". While the side jobs are fun, similar in style to Witcher 3's secondary missions, gigs are boring, you gain them just by going to a place on the map and are completed automatically (via a phone call).

    The combat is fun and there are many ways to advance your character. Some are level/xp dependent - attributes and skills, but some depend more on the amount of money you have (implants). One small criticism I have of the progression is that most perks are boring "X% increase in damage if using a rifle" type. One thing I like, is that you do not gain perk points only at level up, but also via performing certain actions - using shotguns will give points for shotgun/LMG tree.

    To summarize, I think once the bugs will get sorted out, this will be a good FPS game with solid story missions with GTA style open world gameplay in between. But, going in expecting a good RPG there is potential for disappointment and overall I think is a step down when compared to the Witcher series.

    It breaks my heart to say this but even if the game did not have any bugs and was well optimized for consoles, the game on its own is a step back in terms of story and open world. Cdpr intentionally hyped this game out of oblivion and they are to blame for there downright false marketing. I can't even run this game well on medium and I have a pretty beefy pc.

    this game is unplayable... the amount of bugs in this game is unreal, CDPR had 8 YEARS to make a masterpiece, and they failed. they had amazing marketing and an ok soundtrack but apart from that this game (in its current state) is god awful.

    Great game, with bugs.

    PC version has visual bugs here and there (most comments complaining in this thread are referring to console versions for some reason), but nothing that will hinder your progress. As for the performance, I am running it on ultra 1920x1080 - 60 fps without any drops or issues (i7-6700K, 32 GB, RTX 2080 Super, Samsung EVO SATA).

    You know what, really don't give a damn about all the crying people, who just cannot wait until the fixes. The whole planet is in a terrible state due to corona, and we can show some mercy to the company who born great games. Just remember The Witcher with all its bugs and glitches on launch and look what we have now - Game of the decade.

    Don't be part of those outrageous masses. Have your own brain.
    Despite the bugs, we can see gorgeous views, beautiful colours, all the elements of the cyberpunk style with its neon lights, augmentations, holograms, robots etc. Just enjoy the beauty of the future.
    I want to show my gratitude to CDPR and wish good luck with all those bug fixes, I'm in game dev as well, and I know how difficult it is. Peace.

    Story is fun to play but there is no choice matters. False advertisement and full of bugs. Worst RPG experience ever. Even back story that we choose doesn't matter in the game, they just give us extra 1 hr game play. This game is a giant disappointment for me. I will never trust CDPR ever again.

    It is cheating, it is almost a crime, it is fake advertising company, to sell game of that quality for Xbox one base and PS4 base.
    And of course I’m not professional in game dev, but I think if RDR2 can look pretty good on base versions, so why Cyberpunk 2077 can’t? Why I’m paying for this?

Я за 6 часов пролога посочувствовал Джеки, я пустил слезу когда узнал что он умер. А толькоп после этого начинается сама игра, много разных сайтквестов. Очень интересный сюжет. Мат эту игру украшает. Это взрослая сука игра. Спасибо полякам за нее. Expand

    No bugs can make a good game a bad one.

    Even with a bunch of minor technical problems that will be solved in the next six months, this game is head and shoulders above all the serial garbage that has been released for 5 years.

    It doesn't matter if they fix bugs or not, this game is still amateurish trash at best. Open-world is empty and lifeless. One of the worst npc's i have seen in any open-world game ever. This game makes Watch_Dogs (2014) look like game of the year and now that i think about it, it wasn't even that bad, specially compared to Cybertrash2077.

    Лучшее, что есть в жанре киберпанк на сегодняшний день. Баги есть, но не такое огромное количество, как об этом говорят, но, вероятно, это зависит от платформы и сборки. Сюжет приятный, диалоги тоже. Слегка топорная боевая система и управление транспортом. Куча активностей. Игра на твёрдую восьмёрочку, но накидываю ещё два балла за отсылки на Сейлор Мун и ДжоДжо.Лучшее, что есть в жанре киберпанк на сегодняшний день.

    Unfortunately bought into the hype. Playing on PS5, way disappointed with how it runs and looks compared to marketing footage. Gameplay is severely lacking and finding myself bored already a few hours into the game. Crashed like 3 times already. Do not buy, wait for it to be patched.

    The game is far from being bad, it's actually one of the best experiences ever designed for video games. Too bad they released it too early, filled with lots of bugs. Another development year and it would have been all perfect. But it will get there with time, I am sure about it. Meanwhile I will enjoy playing it as is and will try to ignore any bugs or whatever.

    Amazing experience. No bugs for me, no crashes. Quite the contrary!!!!!! Definitely the smoothest experience I had with a game the last 5-6 years. A rich experience both in story and in gameplay. I feel grateful for the experience. I play on ultra and use ray tracing on the highest setting with an rtx 2070. This shows a good optimization.

    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.
