    This game failed to deliver, it is not what CD PROJEKT RED led us to believe it would be.

    Life paths have no meaningful impact on the game, they add flavour dialog and a couple of unique quests and do not majorly alter the game as was promised. Dialog choices are more illusion than anything as they lead to the same outcome. The AI is bare bones, in combat enemies will just sit there
    This game failed to deliver, it is not what CD PROJEKT RED led us to believe it would be.

    Life paths have no meaningful impact on the game, they add flavour dialog and a couple of unique quests and do not majorly alter the game as was promised. Dialog choices are more illusion than anything as they lead to the same outcome.

    The AI is bare bones, in combat enemies will just sit there while you take your sweet time head shooting them, police spawn out of the thin air and don't react to gun fire from gangs shooting over their heads. theirs’s no police car chases either. No bounty hunters, max-tac coming after you. They simply can't chase you in vehicles and have you noticed there are no other bikes on the road only in scripted events.

    Crafting Is imbalanced and unrewarding. You can craft clothing mods from basic components and disassemble them into more advanced components. somehow you can disassemble consumables like soda drinks and craft high tech weapons from them which makes zero sense.

    Upgrading weapons only offer a small increase in damage and becomes ridiculously expensive. when upgrading legendary weapons you use very expense components for an extra 10 points of damage etc. This feature was meant to allow the player to keep their favourite guns but is not even remotely balanced for this.

    Hacking is overpowered which is not helped by the dumb AI and the minigame itself becomes very tedious.

    The perk tree is all over the place. some give 50% extra headshot damage while others give 3% extra damage. a lot of the icons don't match what the perk provides. it is full of padding. One perk disassembles valuable junk together with the common junk costing the player 1000's in money. Skills should add interesting mechanics and abilities.

    Driving is a mess, the POV when driving first person is messed up on a lot of cars you can barely see over the steering wheel. breaking is almost none existent. Some time you are blinded by daylight when driving first person, this is more common in the Badlands.

    The arm augmentations which where advertised as game changing like gorilla arms allowing you force open doors is no longer a feature though the item description is still there.

    Inventory is a nightmare to organise. It would have made more sense to find the gun with a standard skin and allow the player customise it ourselves. Levelled guns and armour means you are constantly changing guns I think I spent most of my time going through my inventory. Late game rare and epic guns drop all the time which makes them feel common and not like epic loot.

    Bugs everywhere, T-posing pedestrians, car drivers, in cut scenes etc. floating cigarettes, guns, frame rate drops. Cars driving through wall, sliding nps in cutscenes. Dead still talking to the player, dying when jumping down 4 feet, dropping off the top of ladders. grenades not been thrown when pressing the button.

    I could go on but the main thing is this game is not what CD PROJEKT RED promised and is an average game.

    Long list of bugs aside, the game is incomplete and just bad. The first few story missions are pretty good, then they just stopped trying. The voice acting, particularly Johnny Silverhand, is atrocious. The combat is boring and way too easy, even on the hardest difficulty setting.

    I played a lot of games in my life, always saw people complaining about bugs but never care too much about it. I'm always focused on the gameplay and how much fun the game is, if there are some bugs that's ok I can live with that. But the case with Cyberpunk is different because there are so many bugs that have impacts on gameplay that it ruin your immersion in the game.

For example, yesterday I was playing it and part of the character's body appears in front of me. That is big trouble in an FPS game just so you know the bug was so bizarre that it messes up my aiming.

    For me, the only thing that is perfect in this game is the graphics if you play on a high-end PC. But the game is poorly optimized so if you don't have a really good PC you should wait for the devs to fix the game.

    I expected so much more from CDPR but is clear that they had big ambitions for this game and they lost themselves trying to deploy their ideas.

    Love this game! PC release. Never crashed on me. I have a 2070 super and a 10th gen Pentium I7. I have over 200 hours into the game, and have done two playthroughs. Totally worth the money. Compare this to Avengers, same price, crashed constantly, fr lagged for months, and there WAS NO ENDGAME at launch

I played the game for more than 80 hours, and I am on my second playthrough, and I have to say, this is the most disappointing game I have ever played, of course this was never going to deliver on the hype, not even Half Life 3 had this level of hype. 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

    One of the best games in recent years. Technically there were some issues but it really doesn't matter after what is served with story, characters, graphics and music. Voice actors (polish version) are phenomenal! Have 60 hours + and really can't stop playing, even Witcher 3 haven't sucked me in so hard.

    Cyberpunk is not a bad game despite all its flaws. The reason I open with that is simple, most of these reviews seemingly are from people angry that a game they like (perhaps invested a lot of time in) has been essentially deadpanned. I understand a user review is mostly anecdotal and may vary from person to person but there’s a few universal factors that come into play. I heard of thisCyberpunk is not a bad game despite all its flaws. The reason I open with that is simple, most of these reviews seemingly are from people angry that a game they like (perhaps invested a lot of time in) has been essentially deadpanned. I understand a user review is mostly anecdotal and may vary from person to person but there’s a few universal factors that come into play. I heard of this game in April 2020, because of the delay I imagine people were upset and that caused it to actually become more popular, prior to that I never heard of the game even though I’ve played the Witcher 3 (also in 2020), obviously I was late to the hype train. Many users and reviewers say promises were made and what was delivered was not remotely on par with what was expected, that’s fine but I can’t really speak from that perspective. Purely from an open world RPG POV the game itself is not by any means terrible, the character design and lack of customization after creating your character like getting a haircut or a shave, or even growing facial hair ala red dead 2 or the Witcher 3 is missing or was never considered, I knocked off some points for this. I played the corporate and nomad play styles, I’m hesitant to call them lifestyles primarily due to the lack of choices that are centered around these paths after act 1. There’s a few choices that come up in dialogue that are unique to ones chosen path, rare but still here and there. I did not personally notice if these are of consequence or otherwise. The main story is very detailed and seems to be fleshed out. I liked the interactions with Jackie and many of the side quests. The voice acting is hit or miss. You’ll notice a few hiccups during missions with calls coming in and unable to be ignored during conversations Clothing seems to go back to the same customization cluster issue, you may end up dressed pretty goofily if you don’t invest a lot of time in finding legendary clothing items that both look good and rank high. My character was dressed like a modern amalgamation of samurai and biker, mostly for the perks and no it wasn’t appealing. The entire “RP” element is hollow, not much substance aside from the base

    I did not experience any of the major bugs and this likely due to my hardware and I wouldn’t really knock any points off even if I did as those can be smoothed out over time

    Replay-ability: here is where the game suffers majorly, there’s only a few paths one can take before the end of the story, and the end plot offers about 3 to 4 choices and having played them all I can say I haven’t even touched this game in about 3 to 4 weeks. I will go back to it when they add more substance, like better NPC dialogue, car chases that work outside of the intro, a police/wanted system that isn’t just a minor inconvenience until you’ve left the area, the world itself feels hollow even more so than a game that 8 years old (GTAV) let alone a masterpiece like red dead 2

    Get this game and try it yourself (wait for a sale). Don’t go off hype, or hate. Make your own opinion based on how much you enjoyed it or vice versa. Clamoring hate on a company isn’t going to make you feel better or make the game more to your liking, it’ll likely make that company less willing to take chances. No one forces you to buy anything.

    Cons
    - Game breaking bugs which effects the immersion and gameplay of the game.
    - Badly optimized.
    - Needs quality of life improvements on mini map, etc.
    - Most of all, the cut content. This includes the obviously cut content regarding the story in the beginning, which could have had more impact on later on. (Without spoiling anything).
    - The world can feel empty at times, with NPC's feeling soulless and badly programmed.

    Verdict - 6/10, as of now I do not recommend buying the game unless you have a good enough PC to handle it. If you do, buy at sale.

    I enjoyed the game but, even playing on hard, after the first 20% of the game combat was just too easy. I appreciate they different ways you can spec a character, but after I found hand guns was too easy I switched to quick hacking and that was even worse. Replayability would have been better if more content was locked out based on your chosen skill tree.

    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.
