There are major bugs and visual glitches but to me the most annoying fault is the lack of polish in the small details. One of the selling points was intelligent npcs that would support overall game immersion. This is just not true. The npcs are genuinely stupid (like Skyrim bad) and hold the most glitches i’ve seen.It’s the small interactions like teleporting into cars and missing voice lines that never fail to break the immersion of the otherwise beautiful surroundings. Also the little physics details that games like GTA have incorporated so well are missing and that is disappointing. That being said I absolutely love the majority of the game. V is not just a like-able character but almost becomes an extension of your own personality through the dialogue and action choices. The side quests are fun and there are some great references in there. Hopefully things will come together more as updates a are released but so far i’m having a blast! decisions and Expand

The world was awe-inspiring and always found myself to stop every once and a while to look at the view. Now to the reason why I am taking 2 points off after saying how amazing the game is. Lots of cut content and bugs (in my experience, I did not have many bugs, only a few minor bugs and 1 bug that made me restart the application). First, lets talk about the cut content. There is lots of cut content ranging from minor things like wall-running to major things like police A.I and "powerful mercs that come after you for causing to much chaos" and dialogue choices that matter. Not to say there aren't choices that matter, just very few (mostly at the end of the game). Now to the bugs and stuff like that, there are a lot of bugs in the game, although it varies from person to person. In my experience I didn't encounter a lot of bugs like I stated earlier in the review. From what I have heard it appears most bugs and issues happen to people with higher end pc's (?). But all in all, this is an excellent game people should experience once its patched.

    This is my first review so sorry if its all jumbled up, but I hope this helped you decide if you want to get the game or not :)

    My one line summary of Cyberpunk 2077.... It's Mass Effect 3 the Sequel.

    TLDR points... 1. the game is structurally flawed 2. your in game decisions are largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things 3. it's pretty to look at, if you've got top tier hardware 4. there are many broken or unplayable/unusable elements 5. there are lots of bugs so you're paying to beta/alpha test
    My one line summary of Cyberpunk 2077.... It's Mass Effect 3 the Sequel.

    TLDR points...
    1. the game is structurally flawed
    2. your in game decisions are largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things
    3. it's pretty to look at, if you've got top tier hardware
    4. there are many broken or unplayable/unusable elements
    5. there are lots of bugs so you're paying to beta/alpha test this... perhaps in 6 months to a year it might be better

    Longer commentary

    For me this game breaks the cardinal rule of RPG's / Action RPG's in that your actions in game should have real meaning... and for me, or at least in my experience I see that they don't. It doesn't matter if I played everything (and I did 90 hours) or if I'd followed what most of the media/YouTube reviewers did and played the main story etc (20ish hours)... at the end you're ultimately presented with a single choice... there are paths to this choice which are unlocked by what you played but regardless of those paths, they all converge to a single binary choice... just like in Mass Effect 3 - how would you like to die

    My gold standard RPG/aRPG is Mass Effect 2... because in that game, if you play it just right, make the right calls at the right time, you can save everyone and have a happy ending. it's not easy and I failed a few times... but it is possible. And CP'77 would have the potential for this if the writers had deemed it thusly. It's a factor of two (possibly both) things... time or douchery. I get the distinct impression that they were rushed, that they didn't have the time they needed to make this what they claimed it would be.... it certainly wasn't shipped when it was ready, that much is clear. But there were so many opportunities for the story to be better, that I have to wonder if these were deliberate decisions to take a large dump on the player from a great height. Opportunities to merge with your decision in a more compatible way, for the relationships that you choose to pursue to have real meaning, rather than just another check in the box. I chose to romance a character, and apart from the quest line which lead me to the conclusion of that romance, that was about all the interaction I had with that character... there were so many times it could have been woven into conversation or into decisions later on... but nope.
    Those of you that played the Witcher 3 know there are ways to get the 'bad' ending, and the 'good' ending... for me all the endings here are terrible because I feel that basically no matter what I did in the game, my end result wouldn't have changed... ultimately I'm indy in RotLA.

    I want to believe that the writers weren't trolling us... but maybe they were... using Hope as the carrot.. I also feel that there are great parallels with the Matrix as the story uses hope and choice like a carrot and stick... they're both an illusion.

    "Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness" the Architect.

    we are lead down the path that there is a way out, and then you find very quickly that is just another form of control... that ultimately your choices are meaningless.

    The game is structurally flawed (IMHO)... there is no reason for it to finish the way it does, and really i can't understand why CDPR chose it to be this way... there is no reason that you can't persist in the world after the main story line is complete... why the inevitable DLC's and Expansions need to be shoehorned into the story before the P.O.N.R.. I look to GTA5 for this as a persistent world that doesn't have it's main story as the 'be all and end all' of the world.... No amount of patches will change this...

    As for technical things... the game is a mess, there are bugs everywhere, the code is grossly unoptimized and a LOT of the QA process was either rushed or simply not done. I say this as a software designer and tester (not games)... there are things in this system which are wholly unacceptable but were clearly deprecated in priority to simply get it out the door. Even though this is a PC review, you can completely see why Sony have removed it from their store.

    I'll finish with some good points... it's a pretty game (when it's working), Night City is amazing in it's scope and concept. however, the execution is poor. I don't need to revisit others comments on how laughable the NPC AI is. but conceptually it is a visual spectacle. I have taken many fantastic screenshots with photo mode which I really treasure

    In conclusion... i feel disappointed and let down. I waited 8 years for the game, and really hoped that it would match the output that CDPR had achieved before. put aside the technical elements that can be fixed, the game (for me) is devoid of the heart that made the Witcher series... and it didn't need to have that missing...

    As Snake from the Simpsons says... Close but no donut Cop..

    such a shame

    It looks cool and fun to play but, it has some critical bugs in the game. such as blackout, police spawn, lack of sound, physical engine error, boss not moving, a story that never starts, and on.

    Прокачка персонажа хороша, ведь из своего Ви можно сделать настоящего "киборга-убийцу", после чего штурмовать Арасаку не будет уж такой сложной миссией.
    А музыка! Она прекрасно передаёт настроение, стоящее между персонажами, её хочется переслушивать и переслушивать. А чего только стоит NEVER FADE AWAY!

    Но... минусов очень много.
    Отвратительная оптимизация на старте (которую уже более менее подлатали), слабая физика машин (которая работает по физике Плотвы), периодически тупящие нпс, дизайн города, не проработанный под двойной прыжок, не нужный и растягивающий геймплей стелс и КУЧА, КУЧА, ОГРОМНАЯ КУЧА БАГОВ! Да, многие баги подлатали но буквально через 3 месяца игре будет год, а многие баги никуда не делись, в дополнении ещё новые появились.

    Но знаете, лично мне это не помешало насладиться крутейшим сюжетом и потрясающей атмосферой грязного кибернетического будущего.

    И о своих 2к рублях я даже и не думаю

I'm actually sad that all these bugs and glitches are covering all the bad game mechanics present in the game, because that's what we should discuss here. Bugs will be fixed (hopefully) but it will be way more difficult to make this a decent game, let alone the game that it should have been according to CDPR claims.
    In no particular order and without mentioning assorted bugs: The open-world is empty and uninteresting; NPCs are dumber than in a PS1 game; your choices of action or dialogue make absolutely no difference whatsoever throughout the main story; side quests are repetitive and boring; the skill tree is unbalanced and pretty much useless (just find a better weapon); the loot system and inventory are confusing; the hacking system is... meh, chances are you will use two or three hacks at most; should I even talk about the police? Let us pretend that it's just a bug; graphics are indeed amazing more often than not if you have a powerful PC but on the flip side, the game is so horribly optimized.

    To conclude, just don't buy this game yet, wait at least for the bugs to be fixed but even after that, this will be remembered as an unimpressive effort. Games like GTA V or RDR2 are just on a completely different level.

The biggest flaw IMO is the police/wanted system it's completely unfinished or broken, police spawn behind you in droves and slaughter you for any crime and they don't even chase you in cars.

    on the plus side, the setting of night city is a winner. the characters are all great especially Keanu Reeve's character Johnny Silverhand. the gameplay is good but feels to RPG heavy with you starting off with weak weapons then becoming overpowered by the end of the game.

    also, the perk or skill tree is overwhelming there are so many perks it makes planning a character build a nightmare. the inventory is just as cluttered and hard to use. it lacked basic features such as a "favorite" system or a way to lock your (rare & unique) from being sold accidentally

    personally I didn't like the ending and if felt rushed or careless

    I think CDPR the developer hyped the game too much for their own good and made to many promises they could not fulfill

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is nowhere near as good as some fanboys are making it out to be, but also nowhere near as bad as most people think. It has a very good story which feels short because most of the story is also beefed by the side missions. Speaking of, side missions range from well-developed and interesting, to by the numbers map filler, though granted is nowhere near Ubisoft level of repetition. Every character feels fleshed out and well done, they feel like days of research and lore building were gone into creating these characters. Not one single character feels one-note, boring or lacking personality. Even some minor characters feel real. Of course, I'm talking about characters who aren't pedestrians, but we'll get to that later.
    This game could have been revolutionary thanks to these core strengths, unfortunately even the most basic of RPG elements weren't there. You can't get a haircut, you cannot customize your car, ou can't buy new houses, there is no public transport; no flying cars or high-tech buses, NPCs don't interact well with...anything, the weapons are cool, but you can't do stealth kills with melee weapons, which is a shame. Many characters, despite being good, have wasted opportunities for deeper storylines and potential romances. The gameplay therefore feels unsatisfying, leaving you wanting just...more. More of what? Just more. A futuristic zoo where the animals that are left are being preserved would have been nice, future baseball or football, NBA, those would have been cool additions. Besides the one racing storyline, we cannot race in our leisure, there's no Pachinko minigame despite the machines there; if the gameplay took a more Yakuza style, this could have been an amazing game, but sadly, it just wasn't the case. I want to be able to eat at restaurants, dance at night clubs whenever and not just when the story demands I go to a nightclub. These basic things aren't even in the game and it just ruins the immersion altogether. When the game is at its best, I feel a part of night city; alive, bustling, like I'm one of the NPCs just going about their daily lives, but at its worst, I feel like I'm just playing any old shooter where the mission is to get from here to there. As an action-adventure, it's fine, but if it were designed with all the promised RPG elements that should have been in the game anyway, it might have been amazing.
    All in all, while it IS a good game, simply "good" is just not good enough. A lot of things in the game just make you go "Cool, I appreciate that it's there, but...that's it?" And of course, the bugs. They can be funny at times, which I cannot get angry at; I mean, if I enjoyed seeing a car clip through a cutscene, then that's no problem, but sometimes I die for absolutely no reason, I clip my own car and fly a few hundred meters back, once again, the immersion is lost. I had fun, enjoyed the story, but without the basic RPG elements, there is hardly any replay value once the main story and major side quests are finished. Which is a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my un-sugarcoated review of this game the "Amazing detail" is only seen in cutscenes and vehicles, the game isn't amazingly built, terrible performance, the massive skyscrapers you see are under detailed when up-close and the map itself isn't that detailed or big for that matter so I can't see any other reason why this should run so bad except for terrible optimization, unless your running at ultra (which i barely could with my 1070) this game looks graphically mediocre RDR2 looks and runs better for comparison, story is ok but the missions are very repetitive, run into a building, kill some people, repeat until you get the odd mission where something actually different happens, money is also very hard to earn since the only viable way to earn a decent amount of it is through side missions, which yet again, are very repetitive.
    Keanu Reeves sounds like he's half dead throughout the whole game probably due to the stupid amount nice but unnecessary voice lines he has.
    The ending is incredibly dry, either V dies or Johnny, and no further progression after the ending it just loads you back into your last save which seems very lazy for the developers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I still play. After an unhealthy wave of user negativity, the product is adequately evaluated. Today, for me, cyberpunk has become more than a game. Words cannot convey emotions. I waited for the release for a long time and persistently, and did not regret it. PLOT . You need to play and feel. You lose friends, you make enemies, literally sets that passage. (But the storyline seems short, albeit very addictive) SIDE QUESTA. Orders and other activities are very interesting to pass. They reveal many unique details of the world. CHARACTERS AND WORLD. The characters are really alive. Each of them is unique. What are some love branches. The world is well worked out. Space design and atmosphere. BUT. If we look at it from the point of view of interaction with him, I think you yourself understand that he lacks random encounters and other interesting interactions.
    MECHANICS (pumping, etc.). I liked the transport and management. (I know that many people think differently, but it is not clear what they compare with) The feeling of transport and its behavior is very good, but physics in some places fails (accidents, etc.). I like pumping. It feels like you really choose your path, be it a netrunner, a thug, etc. Perks work - this is the main thing.
    Bottom line. Despite the price tag of 2 thousand rubles, the game costs more. This is a huge project. Yes, there are those. problems that are slowly being fixed. Yes, there is work to do, but this game has a soul. Exciting storyline, live characters and addictive open world. I loved Knight City. I loved this project. Thanks to CDPR for the job.

    P.s Of course, the feeling that the project still needs to be worked on does not leave. But, looking at how the studio strives to improve its brainchild - I sincerely believe that 90% of the shortcomings will be corrected. Major patches and DLCs are ahead. I will follow :)

    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.
