    Bunch of people writing fake positive reviews for one of the biggest jokes in gaming history. I only wonder if it's just some group of losers who do it willingly or do these people actually get paid ?

    Where the game truly shines is in 10 aspects.
    The storyline, the atmosphere, the immersion, the dialogue, the cast, the characters, the sound design, the graphics, and Most Importantly the Quests.

    The storyline, the atmosphere, the immersion, the dialogue, the cast, the characters, the sound design, the graphics, and Most Importantly the Quests.

    And.. Keanu Reeves, not like I need any explanation. A professional. Character he played is awesome.

    The character progression feels in place. I felt very comfortable with the game menus right away mainly due to heavy similarities of witcher 3. (The same journal order, the bone implants to carry more weight like the bag for roach, the skill tree has a wide variety of perks to upgrade to and cyber implants menu heavily reminded me the mutagen menu in witcher 3. the ability to store your weapons in a trunk and houses which you unlock after certain questlines is pretty much the same like the storing chests system in witcher 3. The Kiroshi's eye implant which gives you the ability to scan key objects also reminded me of Geralt's witcher's sense).
    Apart from the menus, the fast travel locations are like the board signs in witcher. Instead of calling roach, you call your self driving car which gets to your location (it really fits the atmosphere especially due to the fact that it somewhat exists right now). The variety of approaching the enemy territory based on your play style.
    You can go full on gun blazing via the main door if you decide to spend your attribute points on things like body and reflexes.
    If you upgraded your intelligence and technical ability you could hack the backdoor to open instead.
    You can go Stealth. It is best when the cool value is high.


    The game is trying to do a lot of things at once and it does that at least in a satisfying manner. The shooting feels good with a great impact from the weapons and the gun sounds, badass reloading animations. The driving is good enough with great engine sounds. I won't get into too much detail on these fields except that cars have a wide variety of vehicles from budget cars to supercars, desert bikes to sports bikes. The differences of guns which not only have standard once but also tech weapons like electromagnetic guns that can be charged before shooting for higher damage and smart-aim kinds. The stealth is good, sneaking behind the enemy, hiding bodies, disabling cameras, throwing special grenades that scan enemy area, launching optic damage scripts to blind the enemy's eyes implant, using a silencer, turning off projector's light bulbs on approach so they won't see you in dark and sending scripts to objects like radios to distract enemies. A lethal and non-lethal approach. it's all there. The quickhacks in combat are useful too. Sending daemons to a running person towards you to temporarily disable his implants so he freezes in place and screams in pain felt badass. Or turning enemy's turrets into friendly allies was hilarious.
    The enemy netrunners could also try to hack you and fry your implants. Different enemy types like humans, robots (or something in between as it's cyberpunk) drones.
    They all have their own resistance and vulnerabilities. Like vulnerabilities to thermal damage like explosives, chemical like poisoned bullets or electrical damage. You yourself could attach special modifications to your clothes to be more resistant towards particular enemy fire. The Original Score is an absolute blast. when it's playing action tunes in the gunfights in the background or the car chases.
    With combination of all the high quality excellent sound effects that the game has.
    It doesn't just make you feel more badass, But it also plays suspense when needed - especially in braindance sequences and the right tune in the more emotional moments of the game.
    Songs of calmness and anarchy on the right situation.
    Just a couple of my personal favorites are "The Rebel Path" and "Corposeduction" tracks.
    Like a Samurai once said - "we never fade away". The final quest and the ending... It was truly epic.

    All the aspects are important but the most important for me are amazing quests and a great diverse gameplay with a great deal of variety. No **** microtransactions and game activations, pure single player experience, in-game goodies, original OST included, the dialogue, the storyline, the small details you find in game, the easter eggs, the hacking, the stealth, the music, the sex scenes, the gunplay and driving, the voice cast and mo-cap, unique gangs, cars, art and fashion. A satisfying ending.
    It is the true AAA Cyberpunk game.
    And CDPR remains to be my favorite developer. The quests which featured psychological and philosophical themes and even personally touched me in certain aspects. ' Patience pays '

    This is the game I will definitely remember for a long time.
    It is undoubtedly the step to right direction for the cyberpunk genre and I can't wait to see if we'll have more dlcs and maybe even expansions for it.
    I hope that it will turn into a franchise and will only get better from here.    … Expand

What changed is that, as I played, the world slowly began to open up, and there was a lot more story content and world building that happened in that time. I think the greatest flaw of this game is that, if you just cut right to the side content, there won't be much there for you initially, which will turn off a lot of people, but as you get into Act II and beyond, more comes into play. The game hides too much at the beginning, giving you the wrong impression of the game, an otherwise amazing game it suffers because of it's linearity. I love the characters, the story, Takamura and Panam being my favorites, as well as Johnny Silverhand, who slowly becomes a love-able character, despite being an **** to you at first. This game is a solid RPG, even if it forks you into similar or even the same events, regardless of choices you make, but what is there is quite substantial. It's very hard to nail what makes a game an RPG, and despite this game's linearity, the choices you make still feel like they matter. There are a lot of negative things I have to say about this game as well. Cut content, no train, lacking character customization, bugs, voice gender lock, no they/them option at the very least, and while there are relationship and sexual encounters, they're few and far between, and some characters that were ripe for romance and sexual encounters (say like Takamura) are completely unavailable, despite the potential being there. Most of the game's buildings aren't really able to be explored. The game has issues with steady frame-rates even on the beefiest of PCs, let a lone mid range ones. And I see that it's a nightmare on console. All these things do take away from an otherwise GREAT action game with RPG elements, but do not completely destroy the experience. Now coming back to revise this review once more, I have to speak on the INSANE LACK of endgame content. Once you've finished your gigs and police scanner missions, the game is absolutely empty. All those dynamic encounters that they were talking about, and interactivity, just flat out wasn't there. The city becomes an empty shell of what could have been. This was an aspect that they really skimped out on, and I'd really expect actual endgame content from an open world sandbox rpg type game. Honestly disappointed, and all this game's negatives really do make this game a forgettable experience in the long run. The game is a fun time while it lasts, then you'll forget it. 7/10… Expand

    I can see where they are going with the game, but the world just doesn't suck me in the same way Witcher 3 did or Red Dead 2. The glitches randomly happening also definitely takes away from it. Shame this is the state of the game today.

    I've never played a more underdeveloped game Before and I've been playing for 15 years. Great expectations and excitement before the game's release, and now a few months after the game is still unplayable even on powerful computer. Time wasted trying to fix the game and finding ways to make the game just work should be spent playing something else. A total disappointment for the CD project Red

    Cyberpunk 2077 it's about the story.

    As an RPG it's never met expectations. But I think, most who we can blame is a society - who can't wait patiently. This game could be released later for a year or even two.

    He jugado cyberpunk practicamente desde el día de su lanzamiento (v 1.02) y no encontré ningún glitch o fallo que me impidiera completar alguna misión o que fuera realmente molesto. Además de que lo puede jugar de manera fluida a 1080p en calidad media en un portátil MSI de 2017 con una GTX 1050 de 2Gb. Por lo que mi decepción no es por el acabado técnico (muchísimo mejor, por cierto, ahora que van por el parche 1.12) sino por el juego en sí.

    No voy a ser como esos idiotas que esperaban un mundo real con millones de personas cada una con 100 líneas de diálogo y donde toda una ciudad fuera interactiva pero si que esperaba mucho más en general. Mi crítica no va dirigida a lo que "debería haber incluido el juego" o a lo que se "debería poder hacer". Me da igual que un arcade no se pueda jugar o que el vendedor de perritos calientes sea de pega. El problema viene con lo que el juego ofrece de por si y eso es un problema muy grave porque denota falta de ganas e ilusión por parte de los desarrolladores.

    Por poner algunos ejemplos, el juego dispone de muchísimos vehículos y algunos son realmente caros pero no necesitan un vehículo para nada en cyberpunk y si lo necesitas te lo regalan. Lo difícil en un juego es crear 100 armas únicas y que cada jugador elija la suya y que algunas sean más difíciles que otras de conseguir, Cyberpunk opta por la opción cutre de los hack&slash de darte el mismo objeto infinitas veces pero actualizando su rareza o sus características secundarias pero aún así no vale para nada pues yo terminé el juego de principio a fin en la máxima dificultad con la primera katana que conseguí, decepcionante, e igual sucede con las armaduras. Los que sepan realmente que es cyberpunk saben que una mecánica del juego era los "cool" que eres y la ropa que llevabas tenía un enorme impacto social, en este juego sin embargo debes conformarte con ponerte el atuendo más feo que haya sólo porque sus stats son las mejores, penoso.

    La interacción con el mundo no es pobre sino nefasta, te acercas a alguien que está llorando y su línea de diálogo es "que buen día hace" (wtf), la policía se teletransporta a tus espaldas de manera automática si la lías pero con correr 100 metros en línea recta los pierdes. Disparas al aire y la gente en vez de huir se queda en cuclillas quieta en el suelo diciendo sandeces sin sentido... En fin, insultante.

    Lo único salvable de este juego es "disfrutar" de la película, ver a Keanu Reeves hacer de rockero malote, tener alguna aventura sexual y tratar de olvidarse de todas las cosas malas que tiene el juego mientras intentas disfrutar de los poquito que se puede salvar. Porque no es un mundo abierto ni de broma porque además de estar lleno de muros invisibles de nivel con enemigos esponja con cantidades absurdas de vida, la exploración no es nada gratificante debido al chapucero sistema de loot del juego, ¿Para que explorar si tengo una katana y 200 granadas desde el minuto 1?

    El árbol de habilidades y las posibilidades de creación de diferentes personajes es insultante y simplona si lo comparamos con cuberpunk original pues han obviado reglas tan básicas del género como que meterse implantes te hace perder carisma y humanidad además de poder generar problemas de salud. En este juego esa opción de superpoderes vs humanidad sencillamente no existe, métete implantes cibernéticos que ni a tu cuerpo, ni a tu cerebro ni a la sociedad le importa un carajo.

    Un juego que si proviniera de un estudio pequeño y sin recursos podría ser perdonado y animado a mejorarse pero siendo quienes son los desarrolladores estamos ante un caso claro de hype, falsas espectativas, gameplays y trailers engañosos y un resultado final muy mediocre y decadente. Por ello merece un castigo y una nota estricta y negativa.    … Expand

Cyberpunk's reception and probably also its quality was seriously affected by the pre-release events and expectations so lets start with that. The Witcher 3 was the game that put CD Project Red on the throne of video game development. The game was fantastic and is widely considered to be one of the best games of all time, if not the very best. After Witcher 3, the developers announced that they will depart from the Witcher world and focus their attention on this new big project, Cyberpunk 2077. Because of the spotless record of the CD Project Red, many gamers were understandably expecting a masterpiece to rival or even exceed the Witcher 3. Those expectations were only strengthened by the overall situation in the gaming world, where titans of the industry, such as Bioware, Blizzard and Bethesda were quickly falling from grace and into the abyss. The wait was long and the draught was almost unbearable. All that caused the expectations of Cybepunk 2077 to skyrocket to such heights, that it became clear, that no matter how good the game actually would be, it could never actually meet them. That on its own is a recipe for disaster. Plus allegations of so called crunch were voiced against the company. In my opinion, this whole business was a result of our society being so spoiled and weak, that it considers hard work as something reprehensible. The times we live in.

    Anyway, the game was finally released in December 2020 and from the first minutes, it became very apparent that something is really wrong. The game was, and still is today, full of bugs, ranging from minor (visual glitches, lighting etc.) to major game breaking (save file size limit, unable to complete certain missions etc.). That was a huge letdown and given its release date, it became clear that someone forced this unpolished and maybe even unfinished game to be released in the holiday season. This decision cannot be justified from any perspective, because even the extra money they made, were far outweighed by the unprecedented number of refunds. But the greatest loss for the company is the loss of reputation, something that will cost them very dearly in the years to come. Pity.

    Now the actual game is really interesting, the design of the Night City is just amazing. Even in Witcher 3, CDPR proved that they can design a beautiful and functional city (Novigrad) and in Cyberpunk 2077, this gets even enhanced and becomes one of the coolest aspects of the game. Regarding graphics, the game can look very pretty, but at a very steep performance cost (unlike Witcher 3, which was also beautiful and yet low-spec PC friendly). The story is great, but kinda short and it becomes, specially towards the end, strangely predictable and also struggles to stay clear of certain storytelling cliches. It can also get a bit confusing, if you are not a Cyberpunk fan. I really like certain characters, of course Johnny is the best, great work by Keanu Reeves, the weird co-existence with V is done very well. Romance is kinda scarce, theoretically you have four options, but really you only have one, so that could definitely be improved. Because you are moving through a big city, you will spend a lot of time in your car. Driving feels really arcade and is riddled with a number of bugs and oversights. The smallest and yet possibly the most annoying of them is the ridiculously zoomed in minimap, which causes you to miss a lot of turns or use a regular map (which is also not very good) every ten seconds or so. There is also a lot of randomly appearing and disappearing traffic. There is a decent number of cars you can drive and own, most of them are really slow and sluggish (definitely for a year 2077, for example late in the main story you will get a very cool looking Porsche 930, which will however only do about 160 km/h, despite the fact that the real car had a maximum speed of 260 km/h way back in 1975). Specially the transmissions are very unrealistic and acting weird. The music is pretty good, not my thing really, but decent. The difficulty of the game is just another thing that is not optimized well. On harder difficulties, the first hours are really hard and on the contrary the second half of the game feels really easy regardless of talent or equipment choices. This game contains no microtransactions and little SJW, although it seems to me that, despite the pre-release trans poster hysteria, the game is trying to stay from controversy.

    Pardon me for constantly comparing this game to its CDPR predecessor, but my overall feeling is that what once came easy with Witcher 3, is now toiled for in Cyberpunk 2077. Even if they fix all the bugs and oversights, this game will still not be as good as the Witcher games (Of course, that is just my opinion). But despite all that, Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of very good moments and with a lot of polish and some strong DLCs it can absolutely become a great game. Final Verdict: 68 %    … 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.
