    Game with many bugs but is still playable on PC as least. Story is good but expected better. Such as the dialogue and choices to say/do different things feels useless and pointless. it carries no weight and it feels like it's there as filler content. it's quiet sad call of duty black ops cold war did better in that department .

Such as the dialogue and choices to say/do different things feels useless and pointless. it carries no weight and it feels like it's there as filler content. it's quiet sad call of duty black ops cold war did better in that department . The story its self is quiet good but doesn't carry any emotion. The games combat is all weapon based and while the weapons are cool and unique, fighting isn't too exciting. the weapons just feel the same because of the friendly and enemy AI that performs worse that Call of duty. Seriously all they do is stand or duck behind cover and occasionally shoot. no getting flanked or getting pushed while your weak or the enemies running away if you throw a grenade. really disappointing. The graphics are quite good and detailed, this is only amplified by the art-style which nails the 'cyberpunk/futuristic'. The city its self feels a bit lackluster. i thought i'd be able to have conversations with random npc's just for the sake of it but no, you can't. while there isn't much to do in the city, this is completely made up for in the huge number of side quests available. the game really shines in how you can customize you character and life. You can choose what clothing, flashy car and how to optimize your body to have futuristic gadgets which make you actually do side missions to gain the cash for these things. overall expected more but still a good game to play but ONLY ON PC OR NEXT GEN CONSOLES. it is unplayable due to bugs on ps4 pro, xbox one X you name it. lacking in the dialogue department. Expected more from CD Projeckt red. 7,5/10 even though metacritic doesn't do decimals Expand

    I've played it for about 30 hours on xbox one x, besides 2 hard crashes I havent experienced any game breaking bugs or issues. The game is structured in a way that's really engaging, almost like a VR title. The combat feels great for a rpg game. It feels like deus ex mixed in with watchdogs.

    the physics is terrible, but the plot is excellent, I advise you to play this game as a game from a green young studio and not wait for technological miracles, but the plot is very good

    Average game, pretty but dead city. Even now that the major bugs have been ironed out, it is still such a dull immersive sim.
    I’m glad if players enjoy it, but feeling like I’m in a world is super key to me. I want to feel like I’m in a world, a living breathing world, not an anomaly wondering if npc’s will actually react to things happening and seeing how often they’ll repeat the same

    CDPR deserves backlash over false advertising. Compare the gameplay trailer from 2018 to the final game. It's shocking. 80% of what was advertised as a "glimpse" is missing or severely watered down. What we got is an early alpha. It's INSULTINGLY unfinished and technically shallow. A mirage of what it promised to be.

    Disgraceful performance even on the PS5. Non stop crashing, pop ups, glitches and an overall experience that lacks immersion or coherence. AI is non existent, cars float, flip or just appear. Story has potential but the issues elsewhere detract and remove you from what could be a partial immersive experience.

    Cyberpunk 2077 fell victim of it's own ambition. CDPR set its target way too high. The game feels empty at times, and you don't really have any reason to keep exploring the map. It is overload with things that don't really call your attention and the game isn't very well balanced.

    I have never played a single player RPG for more than an hour or two, until now. This is a fantastic game, yes it has some visual bugs on launch, and yes it is a very demanding game to run. On PC with a 1080ti I only get 40 - 50 FPS on high, playing at 1440p. Given that the game looks stunning, and is incredibly fun to play.

I'm about 20 hours in and can say that the open world is amazing, and the characters do have depth. I'm guessing most reviews complaining of character depth/a poor open world haven't made it past the 4 - 6 hours intro. Do yourself a favor and play this game(on PC)! Expand

    Spent 50 hours in game.
    Even if it's buggy and AI sometimes is so stupid, I was enjoying the ride.
    Atmosphere of the city and its beauty is just amazing. Story lines are great too.
    Will wait till the game will be fixed a little and gladly run through it again ;)

    It is just objectively a bad game, it brings nothing to the table that others don't do better.

    bad game play, bad story, and the worst AI i have seen since the original deus ex.

    DO NOT buy this game, refund it if you can.

    People are saying "All this hate because of glitches." It isn't because of the glitches. It's because of the SHADY marketing that CDPR did for the game.

    Literally unplayable. This shouldn't have been sold on PS4 or the original XB1. When every single material isn't clipping, I'm lucky to get 20fps.

    Will be asking for a refund and definitely signing on for the inevitable class action lawsuit against false advertising - ironically, for a game focussed on greed and unbridled capitalism.

    It took them 8 years to create a buggy broken GTA clone with a basic as hell "cyberpunk" skin, horrid AI, and the most un-immersive open world experience since the original Watch Dogs. Do not buy this if you seek to role-play. You can't.

    Premetto che ci ho giocato ben più di 20 ore.
    Parto subito con i Pro e i Contro
    Pro: -Storia incredibile, emozionante ed intrigante. Ti prende e non ti lascia più vieni trasportato dalla storia in un vortice di emozioni senza fine.
    -Missioni secondarie: ne avrò fatte una 30ina e sono state TUTTE come delle piccole storie principali, dal salvare il tizio dal suicidio, persuandendolo a parole, a recuperare le auto, a salvare una persona, a sterminarne altre. Insomma le missioni secondarie sono tantissime e tutte sensate e ben scritte.
    -Grafica da urlo, non c'è nulla da dire è incredibile per un gioco IMMENSO come questo in termini di mondo e longevità della storia.
    -Evoluzione del personaggio con tanto di relazioni con gli altri ben strutturata e ricca di possibilità. Finalmente scegliere diverse opzioni nei dialoghi porta ad una conclusione differente. L'albero dei talenti e abilità è enorme con tantissime varierà
    -Cyberdeck: un ulteriore modo di personalizzare il tuo V. Ti consente di fare dalle piu svariate cose, come fare un doppio salto o arrampicarti più in fretta. O impiantarti delle armi nelle braccia. Diventare insomma una macchina da guerra.

    Contro:
    Bug: ci sono numerosi bug grafici e anche tecnici ma nulla di così grave. Possono davvero infastidire a volte ma nulla di grave o che non possa essere sistemato.

    Ottimizzazione: sarà che ho una 1660 con ryzen 5 3600... ma è davvero un gioco pesante, per girare a 50/60 fps è necessario mettere i settaggi a medio/basso. Questo è comunque un gioco dove non dai troppo peso agli fps però ritengo che sarebbe carino poterlo giocare fluido a 60 fps almeno in grafica alta senza dover spendere 600 euro per una scheda video.

    In conclusione ero davvero combattuto se dare un 8 o un 9 ma ritengo comunque di dover premiare cd project e questo giocone che non è un capolavoro ma è comunque un must have. Almeno da giocare 3 volte.

    ENGLISH (made with gtrans, traducing all this **** is not on my powers now xD)
    I state that I played it well over 20 hours. I start immediately with the pros and cons
    Pros: - Incredible, exciting and intriguing story. It takes you and never leaves you, you are transported by history in an endless vortex of emotions. - Secondary missions: I will have done about 30 and they were ALL like little main stories, from saving the guy from suicide, persuading him in words, to recover cars, to save one person, to exterminate others. In short, the secondary missions are many and all sensible and well written.
    -Awesome graphics, nothing to say is incredible for a HUGE game like this in terms of world and longevity of the story. -Evolution of the character with a lot of relationships with others well structured and full of possibilities. Finally choosing different options in the dialogues leads to a different conclusion. The tree of talents and skills is huge with so many will vary
    -Cyberdeck: another way to personalize your V. It allows you to do a variety of things, like double jump or climb faster. Or implant weapons in your arms. In short, becoming a war machine.

    Contros
    -Bugs: there are numerous graphic and also technical bugs but nothing so serious. They can really annoy at times but nothing serious or that can't be fixed. -Optimization: maybe I have a 1660 with ryzen 5 3600 ... but it's really a heavy game, to run at 50/60 fps it is necessary to set the settings to medium / low. This is still a game where you don't give too much weight to the fps but I think it would be nice to be able to play it smoothly at 60 fps at least in high graphics without having to spend 600 euros for a video card.

    In conclusion, I was really torn whether to give an 8 or a 9 but I still think I have to reward the cd project and this big game which is not a masterpiece but is still a must have. At least to play 3 times

    The only thing Cyberpunk gets a 10 in is the brainwashing, marketing, and breaking promises. Breaking promises to its devs at the start of game dev that they would not crunch, but then crunches for the next 4 years. Promise that it'll be finished when it's finished and here we are. 8 years down the line with a subpar game. Honestly, this is nothing more than a GTA reskin.

You can't stay immersed for more than 2 minutes at a time due to the amount of bugs and glaring issues.

    There'll always be defenders because of sunk cost. These "gamers" will praise anything CDPR will dump on their face. Companies should not be put on a pedestal. If the game is bad, they should voice it. Shame on paid review sites that gave the critic review 90. They are part of the problem. This, in it's current state, is worse than NMS release. Worse than FO76 release.

    Nothing but disappointment and lies. But people are and will always bend over for CDPR. Shame.

    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.
