    Contrary to CDPR trying to say the game's only problems are with base consoles, I would argue that this game's biggest problems go well beyond bugs, crashes, and performance.

In almost every respect, this game is a half-baked, unpolished mess with only some hints at what could have been a great game. It redeems itself somewhat by certain elements, but it's hard not to feel ripped off, even on PC. My experience with Cyberpunk has been a wake-up call to 1) never pre-order games ever again, 2) never purchase a CDPR game again, unless several years have passed, it has been thoroughly-vetted, and is at a bargain bin price, and 3) be extremely skeptical of online review sites: unbelievable that so many reviewers immediately jumped to give this mess 9s and 10s.

    With bugs around every corner, clearly unfinished or cut content, mediocre shooter mechanics, a lifeless open world, and so on, it is hard to even know how to begin reviewing this game.

    I think what best encapsulates the problems with Cyberpunk is the example of witnessing an NPC playing guitar on the streets for the first time. It was incredible to see the level of detail: they are playing a song that corresponds to their individual finger movements and correct guitar chords. However, five minutes later you could accidentally run over an NPC due to the horrible driving mechanics, triggering a "police chase," which consists of police drones just appearing out of thin air; drive down a corner and suddenly you are no longer wanted. That's it. You also see how cars aren't even programmed to move around you or notice that if you look at cars in the distance they appear as weird JPEG cut-outs. The list goes on and on with some of the most primitive elements of game design either not functioning or wholly absent. It is as if the developers spent time on "nExT-gEN" features like NPCs playing accurate guitar chords but somehow left out so many simple features. This extends to lifeless NPCs, a horrible user interface, boring and shallow "RPG" mechanics, short main story, pointless origin choices, and so on.

    The game does have some strengths buried in there, and I would say that is with the core main storyline, character design, voice-acting, soundtrack, and potentially graphics. I say potentially because the game looks great only on high-end hardware. Any mid-range PC even seems to end up looking blurry and grainy. The scripted cutscenes and certain interiors look fantastic though and the visual atmosphere is overall really good.

    The core storyline with Johnny Silverhand was pretty good and kept me emotionally invested; however, it is nothing revolutionary. It relies on pretty much every previously made cyberpunk trope. I love the genre, so this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just not very original. The voice-acting and characters were overall excellent, especially female V, Johnny Silverhand (Keanu), and Jackie Welles. I also really liked the soundtrack with a few stand-out tracks that I continue to listen to even after finishing the game. These elements were enough to keep me playing through to the end, but definitely don't save the game from ultimately being an overhyped, mediocre mess for the most part.

    A great game like at 100 with more hours and a variety of missions. I am glad that the official developer gave an interview and plans to improve the game.
    immersion, great music, great characters, but poor quality.
    And nevertheless undeservedly low marks, therefore 10/10.

The crowd density of the city is unmatched in any game by far. It's really helps bring everything to life with more immersion. Many repeats of NPCs however. The gunplay feels fantastic early. Super weighty, and the sound design is incredible. People say it's spongey, it's an RPG, not an FPS. It isn't spongey like The Division, enemies do react to being shot, umm, sometimes. Don't expect to kill with one headshot early on but there are perks that can help with that when coming from stealth. When you get a critical headshot it's very rewarding, especially when you know you modified or crafted a weapon, or leveled up or utilized a perk to make it happen. You can't go into this thinking it's an fps. You have to be strategic, and the customization of perks and weapons is deep! On difficult, the game is very challenging early, the ai is intense, all though not always consistent. For example when overheating enemies with quick hacks when unseen, the ai just takes it without much reaction. The action gets fast and intense with great pace and a phenomenal score. Unfortunately this doesn’t last. If only. The combat gets very boring once you start leveling up. The AI is exposed and quite honestly it pains me to say, horrible. Even on the highest difficulty the game is extremely easy. You can kill almost anyone with a single headshot after a while, which is fine by me, except most NPCs just wait for you to do so. There is hardly any challenge at all unfortunately, and this really drags the game down. NPCs can be found zonking out in the corner without a care in the world awaiting for the grim reaper that is you. The story of the game is the strength, but it can’t compare to the brilliance of the Witcher, so be sure to reset your expectations. The life paths unfortunately don't seem to effect the game very much, and feel a bit disjointed. I'm playing as a Nomad, and I act like I have known people in Night City for a long time right away. There's some heavy exposition done with a montage which is disappointing, and I question the replay-ability from a life path perspective. Sure you can play again in an entirely different way, but the narrative seems to drive itself far more than I anticipated. It does seem like your choices matter to a degree, but I don't feel like my life path choice matters at all. I have avoided some conflict thought dialogue, but expected there would be more choice and passive options overall. With that said, the writing of each individual mission is intriguing and well crafted. Quest design is excellent! There are several outcomes possible in some scenarios. You can get to 100 hours easily, but the longer I played the less satisfied I became. There's a ton of thoughtful gigs, meaningful side quests, and places to explore. When you invest in crafting and selling all your collectibles your time is going to shoot up way up, and it's rewarding for only the beginning stages of the game. After that it’s an unbearable grind. If you are going to do a slow burn, you'll have to make some mental excuses as the main story has much urgency. Urgency is good for story, but conflicting for open world rpgs. Structure is important, and it isn’t well designed in Cyberpunk 2077. For those looking only for a quick story this will be perfect, but you will be rewarded more for exploration, and a city this dense demands it. So the structure has a confound, but it's a matter of perception.

    There's an overwhelming amount of missions to do in Night City. I wish there was more opportunity to take advantage of some of the set, such as sit down and eat a meal or have a drink like in RDR2, or upgrade your apartment, purchase a new one, customize your look after creation, customize your car, play the arcades you keep seeing, etc. We know CDPR creates fantastic DLC, so it isn't out of the question. With that said I can't speak highly enough about the crowd density in this massive city. This game is going to get a ton of hate because of all the hype and delays, and the very unfortunate console experience. Some of that is deserved if the game isn't playable, but here on PC I haven't had many issues. The issues are with the game itself. Overall the world, and attention to story feels solid, despite a questionable structure. The gameplay has been exciting with some solid depth, but ultimately brings the game down with bad AI and way too much loot that makes crafting worthless because you are constantly finding better equipment than you can craft. You’ll need to empty your inventory every hour which is a pain in the butt. I made a heavy investment spanning 100 hours because I love the city and many moments of the story CDPR created. Unfortunately the longer I played the more flaws I saw.

    The deeper you play and drink it in, the more it evolves into a masterpiece. Being a true GTA, and other open world games fan, this is amazing. Understanding your PC hardware specs and having the true gamer rig to handle this at full beauty is amazing hands down. Don't always judge reviews, try it as I did my research for hardware first.

    there was a lot of hype around the game and the devs lied about a lot of the features of the game which turned out to be lies but the game isn't as bad as people say.
    the biggest (or maybe only) advantage of cp2077 is it's story and narrative, while your choices don't impact the story as much as I expected, it's story has been really exciting from start until now the characters are also good.
    when you play cp2077 you feel you are experiencing an incomplete mess which could be a masterpiece if more time was spent working on it, the game lacks necessary details that you expect from an open world game, the npc and enemy ai is terrible, the vehicle handling is aweful, animations aren't natural and you will see a lot of bugs, including game breaking ones. on the other hand there are many weopons and upgrades and various missions that you can enjoy the main missions are good (bugs aside) but most of the side quest are boring imo.
    while nightcity is designed very well and the game's graphics are nice (especially lighting) the game's world feels empty and lifeless.
    the game isn't optimized even on pc, I had to lower the resolution to 90% and lock the fps to 30 while I can play other games with better graphic settings.
    overally I think cyberpunk 2077 worths playing, especially if you have a descent PC, you will surely enjoy it's beautiful graphics and exciting story.

    The game is not what devs wanted to present us at the beginning, so yes, if you're still living in 2015 and expect the game to be what you had been promised then, then it will disappoint you.
    A lot has been cut out, yet the initial intentions were in fact gigantic and, I guess, the main reason I admire the game so much is that I've never believed they could achieve that in the first
    The game is not what devs wanted to present us at the beginning, so yes, if you're still living in 2015 and expect the game to be what you had been promised then, then it will disappoint you.
    A lot has been cut out, yet the initial intentions were in fact gigantic and, I guess, the main reason I admire the game so much is that I've never believed they could achieve that in the first place, and they still delivered a lot. And I thought that all the chip-stuff would be too complicated and tedious and won't work, and yet, CDPR delivered, and it JUST WORKS (sort of. It's still somewhat complicated, but totally playable).
    And it is still a great game. Unpolished - yes (and yet for PC it was pretty much satisfactory from the day one - much better then TES and later Battlefield series on their release). But the game is great, and, what matters the most, it IS the "new Deus Ex" for the new generation of gamers. In general, gameplay outmatches or at least smoothly accommodates everything that has been done in this direction, and CDPR have actually delivered the true NEW GAME of immersive sim genre.
    The UI is still somewhat flawed tho. For example, they really had to dig more into GTA's map. But that's not something you cannot get used to. Except for turns. Damn turns. They really should zoom out the map or angle it.

    A lot of people complain that the game is not optimized properly. Yet they forget that for HL2 PCs from 2000 were too old, for Oblivion PCs from 2002 were too old, and for Cyberpunk it's only 2013-2014. 7 years old PCs can run Cyberpunk smoothly (on low settings tho), instead of 2-4 years old, as it was for games that were coming out in early 00's. And Activision games? CoD Warzone makes my PC burn on low settings, while I play Cyberpunk smoothly on high settings, while it's Cyberpunk what is actually the nextgen.
    And, I guess, the problem is that there were no games since the start of 2017. No, really. RDR2, SW Jedy Fallen Order, FarCry 5 and New dawn,.. Control? That's all, except for factory-stamped CoD and Assassins. People just got loosen up by indie games and forgot that serious major new games require serious hardware. So, for short: STFU and upgrade your PC. You only need like 2015's hardware with 16GB RAM and a videocard that has 6+ GB VRAM to run Cyberpunk absolutely smoothly, and you can get it for roughly $500 (or $1k, if you'd like to buy all new parts, which is exactly the cost of a new PC in early 00's, heh).

    Yet, I must say, that absolutely stupid people mob AI makes the game quite... disbalanced. It's like you live in a braindead city. Or in a simulation. And I do hope that CDPR would change that with some of their patches.
    So, for me, with all the bugs and stupid AI and scripted scenes, it's solid 8/10. Probably it could've been 6, but I'm not just a regular pew-pew-gamer and I see the technical side of the game, thus I see the enormous effort. And considering all the flame on the internet, and here in reviews, I think that my duty is to balance the score with a ten.

But than you realize it's only 3 fetch quest, dotted all over the map, with a couple of side missions here and there. The story is pretty decent, but not good enough to pull me in. The game looks gorgeous and night city looks incredible, but underneath the glowing lights and bustling buildings you see and empty game with no soul. NPS's are stupid, struggling to even walk in a straight line. Instead of getting into high speed police chases, like in GTA 5, police just spawn behind you. They don't even use their cars, so if you commit a crime, you can just drive away and wait for them to stop spawning. It is an extremely disappointing game that is leagues below The Witcher 3. Hopefully CD Project Red learns from their mistakes, and starts making good games again. A man can only dream. Expand

    It fails on every front and does not qualify as a video game. The only reason why I gave this 3 stars is the graphics, Night City is beautiful but sadly that is the only strongest point. The game is a screenshot simulator at its best. Initially, you will like what you see but as you progress, the cracks will start appearing.
    The AI is very bad and as a result of that, combat feels bland.
    The wanted system is horrible, GTA 3 does a better job.
    The city feels empty, Skyrim feels more engaging.
    The UI is a mess.
    The crafting, inventory management systems are sad.
    The game offers you the illusion of choices rather than actual choices that have any major impact on the story.
    You will experience bugs/glitches every 2-3 mins......

    I can go on and on and on......

    Sadly I was a Witcher 3 fan when I went back, I realized that this game is a downgraded clone of Witcher 3.

    It's sad that critics have praised this trash game. This is Cybertrash 2076.

Overall, game is good and definitely worth playing. Don't mind much that quest are linear, gigs are just like playing MMORPG, go there, kill everyone or sneak through, click on one computer/van/bag and don't care for whatever backstory is there, because in another 2 seconds that would not matter at all. Can be fun for some time, cause you are free to do it your way. Once you just sneak around, other time charge with katana or handgun.

    Character development is ok, you have plenty branches to specialize into. Biggest issue for me is that game is so extremely easy, even on hardest difficulty. There is no need for planning your character, improving weapons, trying to get best chrome or guns, because.. you can easily smash anyone with just white common pistol and no perks.. and that is by my opinion big missed opportunity how to make game even more enjoyable. I understand that on PC with mouse and keyboard playing FPS game is so much easier than on console with pad.. but there should be at least another 2 more options for game difficulty.

    Overall, give it a try, even if you would just go through main story. You wont be bored.

    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.
