    Nowhere near what they promised, and horribly buggy, but it still manages to be better than most of the competition in the "open world sandbox" genre. People upset about the hype probably won't see that, but compared to incessantly vapid games like GTA, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and RDR just to name a few, Cyberpunk 2077 manage to be at least somewhat enjoyable.

    This is the most disappointing release I can think of in the last 5 years. So much promised content is missing, and while on PC I did not get any of the game breaking bugs console users are getting, I still got a lot of minor bugs which ruin any RPG element there is in the game.

    And that's the primary reason for my low score, the game looks beautiful, the city is amazing and in terms of art design is the most detailed I've seen. But that's where the sense of awe ends, because when you actually go out to explore the city, you find there is pretty much nothing to do. You can't even sit on a bench in a park.

    The quests that are finished are good, but there are many which are clearly after thoughts added in to rush the game out. Even questlines that appear finished are missing content. I romanced Panam and as soon as the climax of the romance happened its like her character turned off. Going to see her in the Aldecados camp offers only 3 conversation options. There's no further interaction with her until (if) you chose to ask her for help at the end of the game.

    Its such a shame, there's a great game hiding in there somewhere, but all the cut or simply unfinished content and minor bugs completely ruin it.

I played this on PC and it was a bugfest, a game that clearly needed like 6 more months to be completed, but leaving the bugs aside I can say this is a mediocre title. Story wise is good, a short but really cool campaign. If you are playing this just for the story then yes you will enjoy it, but you have to ignore the terrible mediocre game behind it. This was advertised as next level RPG, and that is a lie, there is a skill three that honestly feels like an afterthought, the game doesn't even let you customize the character looks after you have created it, you cant even get a haircut or modify your body aesthetics, the ripperdocs allow you to get some basic upgrades but they are very generic and nothing impactful. The life paths are a joke, other than a different starting area and like a single exclusive mission, you play the exact same person weather you choose corpo, nomad or streetkid. The leveling feels like you are just unlocking boring passive points that have impact but you cant feel it as they don't change the game mechanics. The loot system is ok, guns feel really nice when you shoot and the gun combat is ok, but broken, almost anything can one shot. There is a certain type of weapon were you can shoot through walls and that is just plain stupid, enemies can't see you, but you can see them, and all you have to do is shoot behind cover to kill them. Katanas and melee weapons feel ok, they can be fun but the melee combat is horrible, those missions were you have to fight other NPCs are boring and nothing like in the Witcher 3. Loot feels generic, a lot of trash and most things you pick will end up being salvaged for materials that you will later use for the crafting system, and the crafting system is so basic that I don't know why it's included, you can't customize your guns other than a silencer or an scope, some mods and that's it, we definitely expected way more. Legendary weapons are really fun but make the game so much easier, but the thing I dislike the most about this game is the open world, it's filled with fetch quests, repetitive missions to increase your street credit to unlock more repetitive missions, go here, kill some people, grab a laptop, hack a system, all very much the same, making money in this game is really easy as well as the economy is completely broken. The world feels huge, and really beautiful but also dead, it's like walking on a city filled with brainless bots, there are no bars to do cool things, no arcade games or other fun activities that don't involve combat. I expected to breath NIght City, to see NPCs reacting to me, but they all feel the same, they behave like a bunch of cowards when you shoot, and if you follow one of them they are just following a circular path just pretending to do something to create the illusion of a crowd and the police, it's so bad that they spawn anywhere if you shoot a civilian or comit a crime, they SPAWN, and all you have to do to loose them is walk a bit or grab a car and run away, they don't chase you, its so bare bones that you can tell they rushed this system. This is a mediocre game in all aspects other than the story, the graphics are nice, but nothing impressive, I feel like CDPR had a fantastic concept but the scope of it was too big for their team and it's a real shame because I know that this could have been a fantastic game. In 6 months this will be a more polished game, but the current systems, the current AI, the current dead aura of the city will not be fixed. Expand

    Great story and some amazing side quests. But other than that game lacks authenticity on graphics and gameplay, looks like another far cry, deus ex, watch dogs etc. Same braindead AI, choices doesn't effect anything, driving things completely busted.

    All in all - the technical side is something you can patch, and they are patching already. But what you cant patch that easy is the trust from a loyal gamerbase. Coming from the Witcher we all expected much more in terms of quality of the game but also in terms of communication.
    The player feels betrayed, and this is the worst thing you can do.

    I will double and tripple check before I buy the next game of CD Project Red.

My game only crashed 3 times in my 102 hrs of playthrough. My problem is with main quest. They are beautifully designed, unique and engaging but its short. The gaem can be completed in 15 hrs. The best part lies in the side quests. They are indistinguishable from main quests and can change the outcome of your ending. The main story is somewhat depressing and though provoking. It asks the meaning of life, death, afterlife, immortality. Besides all the issues i had a great time in night city. Hopefully cdpr will fix the bugs so that i can start a new game with a different life path. Expand

    So I never usually write reviews but this whole situation has been blowing my mind recently. I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a GTX 1660 Ti graphics card on high settings (I can run Ultra settings but my FR would drop to 30-35 FPS). Not once have I experienced any sort of slowdown, crashes, or quest/game-breaking bugs.

Not once have I experienced any sort of slowdown, crashes, or quest/game-breaking bugs. In fact, I have gone whole sessions without seeing any bugs at all. And what I have experienced has been only minor visual glitches, which do happen but they are nothing serious and don't hinder the experience.

    Games like Skyrim had/have much more serious issues yet that game has been praised into oblivion. Not to diss Skyrim but this game is amazing, it reminds me of all the best elements of a Bethesda RPG mixed with the immersive simulation of games like Deus Ex or Prey. The story (so far) is fantastic, the combat feels great with the wealth of choice it gives the player, role playing and customization is extensive and rewarding, the music is killer, and the world is both visually stunning and a joy to explore.

    When I read these negative reviews I can't help but think people must be playing an entirely different game. Either that or people are trying to run this on their old Dell desktop from 1998. I understand the hate if you bought the PS4/Xbox One version, if that was the only version I had access to I would be upset as well. But if you have any sort of decent PC then there shouldn't be an issue. By no means do I have the most advanced or expensive hardware. Maybe I'm just lucky, who knows. Regardless I'll be playing Cyberpunk for probably hundreds of hours to come. It's that good.

    God, this game is immersive.

    Not sure what the other reviewer's issue with the controls were.
    But this keyboard and mouse experience is just as intuitive as Doom: Eternal.
    I like that tab brings up Ghost in the Shell vision for a short moment, and caps lock changes the view.
    Combat is super fun. Tons of ammo abound.
    After the first true mission, I had multiple pistols, rifle, and shotty.
    Excited to see what's next.
    I loved the Blade Runner / GITS running bits of Nihongo in the background.

    Also, lots of bits of lore abound. As a healthcare worker, I love the commentary on socialized medicine vs capitalism insurance run rampant and preying on his members/patients.

    Absolutely gorgeous game. From neuromancer, BR, GITS, Asimov, and many more, the allusions and inspirations put into this game makes this the pen-ultimate sci-fi dystopian cyber punk experience.

    Happy to pay full price and support CDPR when many people are not giving the dev's a chance.
    Well worth the money.

    The storytelling is very compelling. I got fully immersed in the Night City. Miles Tost - senior-level designer responsible for the design is a genius. Audio/Visual feast.

    On my quite old PC the game runs fine at 1080p/60fps in high settings (8-year old i7-3770k, 4-year old GTX1080). Framerate sometimes dips below 60fps when I travel very fast, but less so than for example in Red Ded

    Yes there are glitches here and there, but nothing gamebreaking. Purely cosmetic things that could be easily ironed-out.

    Yes, the character development mechanics could go a bit deeper. Early perks are a bit meaningless, but the further you go, the larger their impact.

    Of course game isn't without faults (is there any), but pros definitely outweigh cons.

    Overall it's a fantastic experience that I could recommend to any PC owner with hardware more recent than 5-years old.

By the time I sheated the arasakatana her head fell on the puddle of rain on the backalley.

    Before walking off coolly I looted her and her lackeys bloody corpses of course. After all this is the urban jungle.

    Cyberpunk is basically what i expected.
    Lets start with the good thing.
    The core of the game the story is well crafted for almost every part of the game even the side quest. Every side quest has always some form of story attached and this is whats makes the game interesting. I really like the stealth mechanics and most game mechanics really well. It is clearly a 9/10 game in general.

    I really like the stealth mechanics and most game mechanics really well. It is clearly a 9/10 game in general.

    Now to address some of the bad stuff.
    Bugs : there are bugs but nothing more then expected. Both my PC and Xbox play the game fine. Most common issues are more minor visual thinks like thinks can float and a very few times items can detach from an animation ( but thats mostly rare) All in all on both platforms i had far less issues then what The witcher 3 had on release. I actually think that most people complaining about bugs are totally over reacting and not really equaly fair to the game in anyway when i see what they complain about. Everyone i know has basically same minor issues like me and nothing major. other games like Horizon zero dawn, Death stranding Watch dogs legions etc where way more broken in every single way on release then Cyberpunk so i dont understand what people even complain so much about.

    Now there are some legit complains though from me . The life path choices at the start give a very short introduction only that will confuse people. There are also allot of systems and Menu items / finding stuff and how it works is hard and take a whole playthrough before you even understand how most systems in the game work. This leads you to mess up stuff or miss stuff and not understanding allot of stuff. On top of that starting life path are way to short.. You get kicked right into some action and the are right away almost at the junction point where all life path meet in the start. This is really disapointing for me.

    Same with the endings a bit .. They are really different but the core ending basically feels still the same. The game also is not able because its rushing the story it seems to attach me to the characters as well as witcher 3 did where i still today cry at some points... I never did feel the same attachements to the Cyberpunk characters . The story is good and well done but i just cant get that attached because its a bit to much rushed after people complaining that witcher 3 was to long.

    The game has bigger issues like police reactions are done really bad and need rework but all in all the core game is still a very good game. With all the bugs i would give it a 8/10 but since they soon for sure get fixed i give the game a 9/10 because all in all even with its issues and complains it is still a very good game that has big replay value and is clearly worth my time and money

    I like the story and the writing is good, the world feels complex, and the characters are developed in a way that has depth... It gives a good enough illusion to feel immersed in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

    Graphically the game is stunning but what is better is the attention to detail in models and locations which really feel very real.

    Performance seems to be an issue for some , I'll just preface that I have not had issues but
    I play it on a reasonable PC, it is not the latest greatest ( I9-9900k + RTX 2080 Ti) but it is quite decent. At ultra 3440 × 1440 works well enough not to notice issues. My framerates were in the ~45 fps range with DLSS enabled.

    Some will cringe that 45 is low , but for a single player game, trying to experience the story and have it look stunning, this works well for me. And personally until I enabled the FPS counter in steam I had no idea what the value is but my senses can't really tell the difference between 60 or 45 so at this point FPS is just a number.

    I'm sure there will be optimization fixes which will make this run better. What is important is that the writing is good, the story is immersive, and NC feels real ... this is a really good game, and I would strongly recommend it as it is worth it

An emotional storyline with tough choices that has me really wanting to see what comes next. Interesting side stories and missions. Good combat (but probably not great) which is perfectly within my expectations.

    I have had some minor visual bugs but nothing overly immersion breaking and certainly not game breaking. I started tracking them over my play time and have seen one about once every 3-4 hours with the game. For me these have been hugely overblown, but I understand experiences vary.

    Performance has been right where I expected. I have an I7 7700k, 32gb RAM, and a 2080S with slight overclock. I've been playing at 1440p Ultra settings with Ray Tracing Ultra and DLSS balanced. Getting between 45-55 fps which I find perfectly fine for how good ray tracing looks. Ray Tracing off bumps this to around 75fps.

    Taking a point off for the bugs which I expect will be patched out in the next few months. Otherwise nearly a perfect game for me.

    This game could have been a masterpiece, but it's technical shortcomings are really holding it back.

The story is interesting and engaging, there's a tone of side quests and activities to take part in, and the characters and voice acting are well done. The bugs, glitches, and performance are very disruptive, even on PC, it's really bad on consoles. The pop in and LOD issues are worse than previous games for some reason. The AI is a little janky too, nobody expected this, and the hype was so high maybe it couldn't have lived up to it, but the game could have at lease performed better. I'm leaving the game at a 7 for now as it does some things well, but I hope it gets fixed. Expand

    I played the game for 70 hours before writing this and finished it. Did (to my knowledge) most of the interesting side quests too.

    The good: - Story: most immersive story in a game to date. Yes it is fairly linear but the same goes for all similar games. Diversity always comes at the cost of immersion. - Graphics: it looks amazing. Sure, it could have still been better in certain
    I played the game for 70 hours before writing this and finished it. Did (to my knowledge) most of the interesting side quests too.

    The good:
    - Story: most immersive story in a game to date. Yes it is fairly linear but the same goes for all similar games. Diversity always comes at the cost of immersion.
    - Graphics: it looks amazing. Sure, it could have still been better in certain aspects but for the type of game it is, it does not have a lot of competition
    - Music: For me personally the one area where it actually has no competition. I do realise it caters towards my preferences while most games do not but at the same time there's a lot of music in there that is definitely not for me so I'm sure it pleases a wide crowd. In the 70 hours I never got bored of the music which is the first time that happens in a game.
    - FPS: It's essentially a good FPS game and I often resorted to shooting as the best solution

    Questionable:
    - The skill tree: It's generally not useful/necessary enough to get into it. Sure in a second play through I'd go specifically for those things that have some use but you can finish the game leaving a lot of points uninvested.
    - Stealth/Hacking: It has its uses but it's often rather tedious and after a few failures it's often clear you might as well just walk in with the intent and the tactic to kill everyone even in situations where you're supposed to be stealthy
    - Lack of true next-gen Open World: there's nothing really ground breaking about the Open World implementation

    The Bad:
    - Glitches: while there are no major game-breaking bugs, there are plenty of story-breaking glitches. People showing up in places they are not supposed to be, walking through objects, inconsistent conversations. Overall they are easy enough to overlook but it's obvious that most of these are easy to fix. Unfortunately makes it still feel like a bit of a rushed job.
    - Open World NPC AI: We're 2020, it really takes minimal effort get open world AI to be better than what it is
    - Mini games (racing, boxing): they bothered to weave some into the story but actually didn't bother to add them as a pass time for the open world (plus add some more)

    One thing that I see pop up a lot and I don't know why is Driving and more specifically handling. Personally I don't get the complaints. It's actually fairly straightforward and easy to get to grips with how vehicles handle. Especially motorbikes. I have hardly used fast travel as a result and just drove around all the time while enjoying the music.

    Ставлю ноль, потому что оптимизация пока что дно донное. Хуже, чем в ТодГовард 4. Неиграбельное говно. Когда починят, тогда и можно будет оценить более объективно.

    Amazing game. You can tell everywhere how much effort, love, tears and sweat went into creating this huge world.

    Therefore it's super sad to see people jumping on the **** bandwagon. Yes, there are bugs, but it's actually far from a state all the meme videos would suggest. It seems mainly consoles suffers from this and sure it sucks, but this is the section for the PC version, which is

It seems mainly consoles suffers from this and sure it sucks, but this is the section for the PC version, which is the DEFINITIVE version of the game, so I won't take it into account. And if you actually play this game instead of going around GTA style and try to create chaos at each and every corner it works fine with only a few minor bugs or immersion breakers.

    It's still easily a 10/10 game, basically Deus EX with a much better Story, more options to tweak your character and how you approach things. Everywhere is stuff to explore if you actually look for it. Gameplay is fine, except vehicle controls with mouse+kb but w.e. And the graphics are just insanely awesome. No other open world game comes even close. 10/10 doesn't mean something is absolutely flawless, as this is an unreasonable expectation since nothing can be objectively flawless. But it delivers on every front and I truly hadn't had that much fun in an open world rpg since skyrim.

    Things I don't like:
    - Minor glitches here and there
    - Vehicle controls
    - Crafting System (I don't even think it needs crafting, or at least it should be exclusive to vendors i.e. you gather materials and tell a vendor to craft something for you)
    - That clothes have stats (totally unnecessary, just give em mod slots for those)
    - Weapon balancing needs further polishing (i.e. LMGs feel completely off)
    - Stealth gameplay needs further polishing (More options how you approach enemies in stealth mainly)

    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.
