    General AI is bad. AI driving is bad. Police AI is bad. Driving is not great.
    Looks good, sounds good. Story is good.

    You now that stereotype about the really dumb pretty girl. That's basically this game.

    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.

    This game is trying to be many things and fails most of them. It lacks direction everything seems rushed and unfinished. It would need a massive cut of the filler activities and characters, its just too much crap. Aesthetics are also unbalanced, city is just unpleasant, too much going on. Sfx like reflections and character models look nice but the animation and interaction seems off. TheyThis game is trying to be many things and fails most of them.

    Anyone who tries to tell you this game is 10/10, 9/10 or even an 8/10 is either lying into your face or straight up delusional. How do you justify a high score for this buggy, glitchy, unpolished, unbalanced and unoptimized mess? Especially considering you paid the full 60-70 bucks.

    Anyone who tries to tell you this game is 10/10, 9/10 or even an 8/10 is either lying into your face or straight up delusional. How do you justify a high score for this buggy, glitchy, unpolished, unbalanced and unoptimized mess? Especially considering you paid the full 60-70 bucks.

    This games problems stem much deeper than just poor performance.

    Everything in this game: gunplay, driving, map orientation, waypoints (gps), hand to hand combat, crafting, no preview of clothing, no proper way of categorizing your loot to quickly sell all the stuff you don't wanna keep or breaking things down for crafting materials every piece of gear has to be dealt with individually, AI, climbing/parcouring, police/wanted system, high amount of useless and repetetive loot, scanning glows up the whole world cluttering your screen, repetetive enemy voice lines, enemy guards turn hostile out of nowhere, repetetive side missions (outside of a few well made missions most of the police support missions and assassinate missions are pretty much all the same - bad guys even respawn at the excact same location you killed them earlier and much much more. Honestly the list is endless. This is not about hating the game. I wanted it to be great like anyone else. I think it has the potential to be great. The foundation, the vision and the ambition is there and you can see glimpses of it and feel it throughout the city but the issues this game has far outshine the good things (like the characters, story telling, general atmosphere/vibe within the city, style). This really feels like a beta or early access version and not a finished product with how buggy, glitchy and janky it is. You can still have some fun with it sure, but is this the legendary game they where selling? Hell, even if you didn't buy into the hype, the state this game was released in is unacceptable. How are so many people okay with an obviously unfinished product is beyond me and all those payed high score reviews are just pitiful.

    I am deeply disappointed in CDPR. I am sure, I know some of these developers worked their asses of and where really passioned with this project and like I said, you can see the ambition within the world but ultimately where powerless against the will of the suits to push this game out far far to early. Just imagine what would have been possible with one or even two more years of development.

    I hate to compare games but just look at Red Dead Redemption 2 and tell me Cyberpunk 2077 right now, is on the same level. No just no and I am not even much of a fan RDR2.

    Well, that's it.
    Sad to see that Cyberpunk was just another overhyped and underdelivered title.
    You just couldn't resist that sweet holiday release window, eh, CDPR? After ¬2 hours I've decided to give up this game entirely and not struggle any further. It's a technical and gameplay joke of a game. Running v1.0.3 with latest nVidia drivers on a 9400F/16GBram/1070ti and EVO 960

    After ¬2 hours I've decided to give up this game entirely and not struggle any further.

    It's a technical and gameplay joke of a game.

    Running v1.0.3 with latest nVidia drivers on a 9400F/16GBram/1070ti and EVO 960 nvme - can barely get ¬35 fps on MEDIUM preset.
    Maybe if game had some groundbreaking next-gen graphics that would be appropriate, but no.
    Graphics are basically on par with latest releases.
    Game is riddled with tech issues and bugs, starting from texture load-ins and ending on bad sound mixing/balancing.
    Some of the T-posing stuff could give me nightmares.

    But the tech aspect could be fixed, right?
    Yeah, sure, but the gameplay...

    Let's start with intros.
    Corpo intro is bad.
    So bad in fact, that I was genuenly shocked when it ended.

    But it gets worse from that point.
    Most gameplay parts are, well, not very satisfying or in-depth as was advertised/teased!
    Driving is atroceous on PC.
    Gunplay is mediocre at best.
    Stealth and hacking are okay, but nothing new, really.

    And on top of that - AI is glitchy and dumb.
    And on top of THAT - UI.

    Good god - world map is terrible, navigation between menues is badly executed.

    Yes, they can fix tech issues.

    Probably tweak the AI and UI, but what will they do with the gameplay?

    I'm not sure I want to find this out as a beta-tester who payed 60$ for an "AAA" title, and I encourage you to do the same if you're cathing the same vibe.

    I get 40 frames maximum on a rig and card that beats all 3 of the current-gen consoles I own. I've been told it's understandably even worse on those consoles. That's a refund.

    The game is a mess and unplayable on most platforms. Bad optimization, lots of bugs and just genuinely a game that doesn't deserve the 60 dollar price tag. Feels more like a beta.

    It is a bad PC game, a terrible console game, and all in all, not what was promised. It's just a facade made with RTX to cover a game that is old in themes, gameplay and performance. Having big assets and fancy tech isn't saving what is essentially a bad clone of Deus Ex. Cyberpunk 2020 was robbed.

    One choice "RPG". Made fallout 76 look like a masterpiece at launch. Delayed multiple times for "polish" yet this game is far from being complete. I guess I will never learn from getting AAA games early since they always drop unfinished now-a-days.

    After putting over 24 hours into the game on ps5 and PC combined the real issue here isn't even about the performance or bugs, its about the actual content itself. So much is either missing or outright incomplete that its hard to imagine how poor the game must have been when they announced the first release date.

    State of this game is insulting, especially on consoles. CDPR should pay for what they did, forbidding PS4/XONE reviews only to quietly push TERRIBLE quality game to stores and make people pay for it based on PC reviews that are overrating game anyway completely ignoring in how bad condition it is. This should be early access game.

    They have raised the hype bar, on old-gen it runs at less than 30 fps paid 70 $, the game does not reflect what they wanted to understand or a revolution of the RPGs.

    To release a game in this technical state is simply not acceptable. I really was hyped but they would've better delayed it for at least another 6 months. I hope the backlash will force a response from CD Project Red, because they ingored us pretty much so far.

I think at this point it's safe to say that anyone who play this game will experience bugs and glitches which is fine but kind of disappointing when you see a vast majority of people having the same bugs in the the first missions. They had 8 years to work on this and most people get the same bugs in the first mission like cmon.

    I dont even know what to say about the NPCS and the city. It's the biggest let down for me. They are so broken and dumb. Most part of the city feel as alive as GTA vice city. Compared to that E3 video from 2 years ago it's just night and day. I don't feel like this is nowhere near as fun of a world to explore as Witcher, Fallout or Skyrim. It doesnt even feel like an RPG at all on a certain level it's just weird. The combat doesnt feel satisfying at all. Melee or guns it's just someone standing there most of the time just taking it and screaming. Cops spawning literally on top of your head and it front of you. This game is just a big lie.

    It's a **** piece of **** crooked, crude, the game was made on his knees in an attempt to keep up with the next release. RTX 2070 Super, R7 2700X, drops to 30 fps at 1080p and medium preset.

    This is the biggest scam in gaming history. And keep in mind when reading my review that PC is the best version.

    Glitches: My game glitched out several times just in character creation. CHARACTER FREAKING CREATION, I HADN'T EVEN STARTED YET. Not to mention the character creator itself is extremely boring and limited. Gunplay: The gunplay is simply awful. Not the animations themselves
    This is the biggest scam in gaming history. And keep in mind when reading my review that PC is the best version.

    Glitches: My game glitched out several times just in character creation. CHARACTER FREAKING CREATION, I HADN'T EVEN STARTED YET. Not to mention the character creator itself is extremely boring and limited.

    Gunplay: The gunplay is simply awful. Not the animations themselves but the sensitivity and feel of it. There is no way to make it good, I tried everything. Deadzone, Acceleration, Zoom sensitivity, etc. Nothing worked. The only option is to play on a very low sensitivity if you want any chance of hitting anything.

    Environment: This is the least "cyberpunk" game I have ever played also which is ironic considering the name. If you want the cyberpunk experience, play Deus X, this is absolute garbage. Most of it is just people looking like modern liberals, it's supposed to be 2077 not the current year.

    Voice Acting: Horrible. I used the male voice and his voice acting is absolutely atrocious. His voice does not sound natural and all the the more you listen to it the more annoying it gets. Maybe the female is better, but I doubt it. She's probably just going to sound snarky and annoying.

    Marketing: The irony of this game is that it's about a future capitalist society where people would do anything to make a buck, and that's exactly what CDPR did with their marketing. They lied, their game looks nothing like the cinematics in the trailers. They clearly spend 200+ million marketing this game and much less on actually making it. Their studio has over 1,000 people, there is no reason for the game to be in the state it is. What's even more insulting is that they had DLC prepared before launch that they did not put in the game. They made that rather than optimizing the experience, pathetic.

    Story: Notice how nobody is going around dropping story spoilers to troll people? That's because there is nothing to spoil. It's boring, uninspired, it doesn't take chances. The main story is only 15 hours long on top of that and the side missions are extremely overhyped.

    Graphics: There are many graphical issues, having certain settings on will cause the game to crash, etc. It's fine overall, not a deal breaker although I personally care more about the substance than the graphics so maybe this matters more to you.

    Driving: Extremely very bad. Doesn't feel natural at all, the car feels very light.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is not even the best game this year, it isn't even in the top 10 games this year. It is terrible, do not buy it.

    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.
