I'm really disappointed, and I kinda feel both mad and bad at CDPR. Devs were obviously rushed by management and that resulted in this mess. Honeslty, this taught me to not pre order games anymore, and this is my first time. Well, I learned my lesson.… Expand

    Bugs and glitches are the least problem of the game. Main issue is total linearity and almost no variety or interesting branching quests. The world is dead and your actions have absolutely no impact. Lots of missing features, and most of implemented mechanics are basically broken or underdeveloped. Witcher 3 was better in all ways. Shame.

    Apart from the obvious bugs, they were promising an immersive open world game with RDR2 level of details (their own words). They delivered a Call of Duty campaign with a big map and good story.
    The open world mechanics don't even reach the standards of 10-15 year old games.
    It's false advertising, plain and simple.

    Worst AI in any videogame I've ever played. No cop/chase system, they just spawn behind you no matter where you are. The 3 life paths are all the same. 99% of your choices do not matter, which they lied about. Countless bugs/glitches. Absolute joke of a game CD should be ashamed of themselves for putting this out.

The gunplay is satisfying and there's a good selection of weapons to choose. I recommend procrastinating the main mission as much as you can, doing side quest and exploring the map in the process.
    Now, I have to say that the game is very unpolished, I can overlook some flying objects and cars glitching but dying after jumping over props or walking on uneven terrain can be very frustrating.    … Expand

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I hate to say I told you so, but...
    I TOLD YOU SO.
    Let me preface by saying the hype surrounding this game was PROFOUNDLY retarded. W3 is still their best game. Gotta understand though, Witcher was never their own original idea. They had a wealth of source material to stem from and use as a crutch. These guys are no 2nd coming of OG BioWare I enjoyed my experience    Ladies and Gentlemen, I hate to say I told you so, but...

    W3 is still their best game. Gotta understand though, Witcher was never their own original idea. They had a wealth of source material to stem from and use as a crutch. These guys are no 2nd coming of OG BioWare
    I enjoyed my experience with Cyberpunk because I didn't really have expectations per se.
    As far as GOTY is concerned, I don't play enough new releases tbh
    I only played this because I was genuinely intrigued by the setting and Keanu Reeves's involvement, and the fact this was allegedly an RPG
    Bugs and glitches were negligible for me. 2 crashes in 300 hrs, pretty consistent 45-50fps even on my GTX 1080 on ultra settings, which I'll consider marginally "acceptable" for a somewhat poorly optimized new release. I anticipate performance will improve over time with patches, etc.
    And both crashes were essentially my fault from excessive reloading, save scum farming legendary loot for hrs on end. I'm surprised it didn't happen more often Lol
    Basically this game ran better than 99.9% of other **** I play, especially the overrated Bugthesda trash Lmao
    Storyline is top-notch quality, they really nailed the writing, it's so on-point, and the dialogue trees are ample (I still find myself reloading often, but I like the color coding), though it heavily relies upon Keanu Reeves's presence. I've had a blast playing it tbh. I love that it dabbles in the philosophical realm, concepts such as free will, the self, human condition are explored in painstaking detail, etc.
    But yeah, there's a lot of superficial fluff, it's distracting. Some of the design choices were plain ludicrous.

    - No vehicle or clothing customization.
    - Extremely limited romance options, essentially 1 or 2 depending on orientation.
    - Blocking access to a ripper doc just for punching the **** was stupid.
    - They didn't really deliver on the nudity thing. Pussied out as expected
    - You can't even see yourself naked really outside the menu and sex scenes, mods have been way better for years. It's not even close
    - Not having 3rd person perspective seems a little amateurish imo. I enjoy immersion except when it comes at the cost of fun and practicality. It's a very CDPR game.
    - The atmosphere is palpable, but the city while breathtaking graphics wise is sterile and lifeless, barely any NPC dialogues.

    These guys are great storytellers, but they kinda suck at the world building in the literal sense. They did a good job foreshadowing/complimenting certain quests in other regards through various in-game TV, radio and media however
    They have incredible ideas, shame they can't realize their open worlds like Rockstar (the world is the most important and underrated character and nobody does a sandbox better).
    R* is a jack of all trades. They're good at everything, especially crafting authentic intricate worlds with very sleek gameplay, which is exactly what makes their games so ridiculously addictive, fun, timeless, and replayable
    The actual world in Cyberpunk is maybe a cut above your average Ubisoft copy/paste gameplay loop ****
    The criticisms of the lifepaths were a little unfair... considering there's a ****load of unique dialogue options. What did people expect? 3 separate versions of the same story revolving around a **** colossal game? And your choices do matter, even on a quest by quest basis, sometimes down to a specific line of banter determining whether you successfully romance a character or side quest chain ends or continues. The **** you say in convos actually matters or changes things for once
    Some aspects could have been fleshed out more, properly, sure
    I'm obsessed with acting, writing, storytelling, so even if everything else is somewhat lackluster I can appreciate the sheer ambition.
    The hype around this game was absolutely **** retarded to reiterate
    It's almost exactly what I said pre-launch verbatim. Hype couldn't match up with reality.
    If they didn't make the best game ever disappointment was gonna be inevitable
    For sure, it's not the best game of all time in the annals of history, but it's still a **** cool worthwhile gaming experience, and I think that's really saying something these days Lol
    Ultimately... Story was good, everything else was mediocre. There's literally dozens of games that do stealth, gunplay, combat, melee, driving, open worlds, RPG mechanics, better than this. It's more of an action adventure game with RPG elements tacked on
    CDPR kinda sold out in record time as I predicted like 6-7 years ago before W3 came out, strayed away from their roots, so I can totally understand why people are pissed.
    And I believe the story would have been underwhelming and suffered too without Keanu Reeves elevating everything
    Overall, subjectively just based on my personal experience It's a 9 in my book, objectively, realistically, it's more like an 8.    … Expand

Keanu Reeves is A DISTRACTION! I Never could work out why he was in it and why his performance is so poor and it's becasue we love him despite this flat effort. He's there to distract us from the rubbish. He's a marketing tool. He's the reason so much else is unfinished. He's literally a piece of tape holding the game together as much as a loud noise to distract from the state of play. The fact that they introduced him in 2018 means they knew. They knew and they lied. So zero marks for liars and cheats who make bad broken games and bully and censor players.

    UPDATE: changing my score from a buggy 7 to a broken 4- after game broke near the ending and corrupted my save. No attempts to fix have saved my 30 hrs of play.

    Original review: PC over 30 hrs. GOG.

    What can I say...the most hyped game doesn't live up to the hype. Is any sane person really surprised? Actually I was surprised just how much it fails to deliver on the many promises. But it's not all bad or good and that's the problem. The game is a mixed bad. The last of us part 2 was another huge mixed bag with some amazing highs spoiled by some low lows...So low. Well cyberpunk is a better and worse game so we're really heading into rocky waters with that comparison. Hang on its going to get bumpy!

    The first problem is the bugs. They're worse than you can imagine for a aaa priced title from top studio. You've heard of them by now and maybe you'll know witcher3 also launched broken. But that doesn't make it ok to release any game in this unfinished state. It took witcher3 about a year to be worth playing and it went on to become one of the best games ever made without argument. Cyber punk is not as good overall as w3. I'm nearly finished with around 30 hrs of play and I know it's just not on the same level... though but that's hardly a critism as w3 is incredible. Cyber punk does have better gun play / combat but the story isn't a comparable and neither is V as a likable protagonist. When put against Gerald he she is a joke. But Geralt came from wonderful books so this isn't surprising. Though V is not a good game character and his her arc actually harms the gameplay as a result.

    It feels like you're playing 2 characters in 2 games at times. One has this urgent agenda and the other hasnt. Theyre at odds ans its jarring. Making a game thats very uneven. And that's alot like tlou2 in this respect. Its not good to be so divided all the time. The game isn't very 80s and isn't that scifi and ends up being quite generic and more like earth in 20 years and again that's not a good thing. Ugly brutal nonsensical world at times and little is ever explained ever after a deep dive. It's not that cyber punky for no known reason. The saving grace is it looks ok most of the time if you have a 3080 with 32 gigs of ram but ofcourse you don't have that so it won't run well on pc for many. And on console...it's a train wreck sadly. I don't want to go into the irony that cdpr is ironically now the evil corporate entity the game vilified. They have lied to customers and misled them and reviewers. Refusing to show ps4 footage for ps4 which will be the majoirty of purchases is simply wrong. I feel they lied about the game content too and are not the company they once were and still claim to be. Cdpr is no longer the friend of the gamer :(

    Moving on...The main campaign is so so but ends without saying much or making it all worth while . It's not mass effect 3 but not mass effect 2 either. The gold is in the sub missions and there are alot of them. While the main campaign is only about 12 hrs the other stuff is easily another 20 plus hrs. You're looking at 40hrs for everything which is good value imo. Plenty of variety but quality ranges and again not w3 quality.

    The ui and menus aren't great and the crafting is a broken mess. And the rpg elements are far from ideal. It's all a bit rushed to be honest. Your progression seems broken too. No idea why...Too many questions to why the game is like this which all lead to they rushed it.

    So...yeah...Not the review I had hoped to right. Not after 5 year wait. What can I say. In disappointed but it's not a bad game. They rushed it that much is true. It needs atleast 6 months more development time and in some ways it might get this. Though don't expect anything sooner as they'll be making console versions work and then ps5 so pc gameplay changes or dlc will be a year from now.

    I recommend buying a year from now. Or on a sale. Too many small and large issues right now to justify the mess of playing. And what there is is good when it works so you'll want to wait for that.

    6/10. When optimised and mostly bug free an easy 8 or 9.    … Expand

    So don't listen to what you hear. They're all a bunch of cry baby's that was disappointed by a game that was over hyped like the second coming of Jesus.

    Imagine you buy a prestige luxury sportscar, it looks astouncishing, heated seats with a massage function, state of the art enternaiment system, etc.. But then you push that start button to take it out for a drive and realize that it drives like absolute **** The Suspension makes you puke while the trottle is as responsive as a coma patient. That is how it felt to play through Cyberpunk 2077.

    The beatiful - the mediocre - the trash:

    The Beatiful:
    - It has probably one of the best visuals that you can get in a game as of right now.
    - Splatter/dismembering effects are high quality.
    - Visual design, detail and animation of weapons and cars are top notch.
    - The main storyline and the side stories which you can have with main characters are mostly quite well done and interesting.
    - At certain times the game tries to induce a certain intimacy with a play of presentation, visuals and voice acting that no game I played has made it like that before, beatiful.

    The Mediocre:
    - Driving mechanic are really an afterthought for the most part but still functional and fun at times. There are specific off-road cars but they drive mostly just as bad on that terrain and flew of in the sky just like a sportscar or a truck. Sometimes the driving behaviour is inconsistent.
    - The Gangsystem: There is no gangsytem although there are implications of these, nobody hates or likes you, they are just there to be killed and give quests at the same time. No playerimpact.
    - Parkour running is a nice suprise

    Th Trash:
    - Gameplay Balance, there is no gameplay balance.. I never read or watched guides on how do find certain things or specifically try to abuse mechanics, just casually explored and tried to go for builds and playstyles that seemed fun. But even after 5 hours in one finds insanely strong skills and aspects and after that all the fun from the gunfight gets less and less until there is literally no fight any more.

    - Loot mechanics and Inventory are absolutely half assed and not even tested. Aside the fact that I can't loot like 80% of robots I kill for no reason I can also not loot 30% of weapons the enemies drop, that waaay to much. While the Inventory has nice sorting functions it is absolutely atrocious at the same time combined with the worst Inventory aspect I have ever seen in a trile A game:

    - The crafting takes around 2 seconds and I can only craft a single item at a time. It is absolutely madenening. It is not like something emersive that I see my chaacter craft an item or just do random craft stuff (like in Fallout 4) it is just sitting in that inventory menu and clicking that button every 2 seconds like an idiot. This is below any standards I have for any game. And while the crafting is annoying as hell it is also brokenly powerful, I can literaly create stuff out of nothing by crafting and disasambling and I can get infinitely money that way even with a very low player level, why is this a thing. On to of that armor and weapon stats are literally random when crafting items for no reason while I noticed that literally my armorstats change when I just restart the game.

    - Progression: Especially in RPG type leveling I like to get a feel for the numbers of damage, resistances and armor etc.. But the level progression and the way the stats scale is quite bad. In the begnning one has to change essentially the weapon and armor each 0 min because there are better ones but then when it slows down a bit I am already the God of Night City. In the early game the game allows the player to try to take it on high level enemies but these encounters are anything else than fun, fighting is either stunlocking enemies with granaes for 10 min nonstop or die instantly and trying to do it stealthy is a 50% gamble wheather one can finish this mission or, I tried to make a "Very High" danger mission to rescue a woman... only then to learn that as soon as I get to that woman a diolog starts and being detected is unovoidable. And I don't mean it is scripted, it just happens because the diolog was probably not there in the initial mission design to completyl break it. And why do I get a weapon that can shoot through literally any material and any thickness of it, it's just broken. Why do I get 90% crit chance and deal like 100 times damage on every shot is beyond me.

    - The Policee system: It is so bad and cheap that just removing police from the game entirely would be a better choice. I can not even ignore them completely since sometimes I don't stand in the magical "hositle area" or kill a random citizen.

    There are a few more for which I have no space to write about like cheap "life paths" and choices in general, game is about corporations but I have no ineractions with them, citizens are a facade, minimap navigating is trash, exploration without minimap..    … Expand

    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most ambitious games I've ever played. If you dive into the game without any expectations, it really is amazing. Night City truly is *breathtaking*. They managed to do a great job with the city, and you really feel like you are in a futuristic dystopia. I enjoyed most of the missions in the game, both main and side. That's where I think the game really shines.Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most ambitious games I've ever played. If you dive into the game without any expectations, it really is amazing.

The voice actors did a good job too, and the characters are visually the best I've ever seen in a game.

    Needless to say, the game is pretty heavy on my PC, which doesn't come as a surprise, considering how darn good it looks. It truly is a next-gen game. Then we have the topic of bugs. Sure, they are immersion breaking, but definitely not a deal breaker for me. I trust that many of the bugs will be gone with the upcoming patches, the hotfixes already fixed some of them. I'm not saying the game is perfect (not minding the bugs), for example the police system is really bad. It's also very strange that people can change any part of their body they like, but there are no barbers or tattoo artists?

    The game shouldn't be compared to other open-world games such as GTA, because it is a completely different type of game (especially the combat). Since you can't give a review with a decimal number score, I am rounding it up. For me this is a no brainer "must play", I usually don't start a new game directly after finishing it, but this time my fingers are really itching for more!    … Expand

    We were promised so much, given so little. The main story line is really good but the game feels butchered to say the least. We were promised a Ferrari F8 of a game, but were given 1996 Toyota Corolla. Oh and that Corolla has no radio, no AC, no doors and 5 years overdue for an oil change. But hey, the CEO said he's sorry and he promised to give us an oil change and put in the doors. InWe were promised so much, given so little.

In the end we'll still have a 1996 Toyota Corolla with no AC. Where the F is our Ferrari? This is nothing like all those trailers and promises you made over the last 8 years.… Expand

    Buggy as hell
    Performance is abysmal unless you have a godlike PC (fortunately my PC is good)
    Even then, completely carried by DLSS Barely an RPG, lifepaths don't matter in the slightest, huge let down AI is absolute garbage/non-existent Police AI was completely shoe-horned in at the last second, they just spawn on top of you instantly and don't chase you at all Cars and people    Buggy as hell

    Even then, completely carried by DLSS
    Barely an RPG, lifepaths don't matter in the slightest, huge let down
    AI is absolute garbage/non-existent
    Police AI was completely shoe-horned in at the last second, they just spawn on top of you instantly and don't chase you at all
    Cars and people despawn and respawn when you turn the camera around, super jarring and non-immersive
    Meme-worth npc behaviour with them crouching in fear at the slightest tickle or T-posing
    No character customization available in a world based on customization, can't even get a haircut
    The food in this game looks like complete trash they should've spent more time on it and less time on P*nis2

    They tried to make a GTA/RPG hybrid and failed at both
    GTA had a more immersive world, better AI and systems in Vice City, lol

    Positives:
    Great lore/aesthetic
    Great voice acting/animations
    Good story
    Keanu Reeves carries this game
    Even then, he's probably the reason lifepaths were cut and why a certain thing happened to a certain someone pretty early in the game

    Do not buy this game for like 2 years when it will hopefully be patched and maybe modders will make the gameplay suck less    … Expand

    This is a great game in itself, but compared to all what was promised... it makes me sad. I expected more from CDPR and by the looks of their PR attitude they don't seem to acknowledge that, which makes me even sadder. They should shut up and work 200% on the game this year to bring it to the level of what they promised.

    To all who wine about this game after playing it on console - blame the console, not the game. As a console player, you should be accustomed to low fps cap (e.g. Bloodborne, where fps can easily go below 10 during boss battles). Do yourself a favor and save up for a decent machine to experience all this game has to offer.

    About bugs - the most frustrating bug I experienced during my 200 hours with Cyberpunk is when a quest character was killed, even though he was supposed to be invincible, which made me replay like 10 minutes of the game. All other bugs are so minor they usually just make you smile and play on. Honestly, minor issues are expected of the game of THIS scope.    … Expand

    Absolute terrible buggy mess, so much so I actually started listing the bugs I have encountered, which has reached 230!!! Some of whom are quest specific, but the majority is what you will expect through your play-through. Absolute disgrace of a game. 0/10

    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.
