Yes cyberpunk is currently pretty buggy and I couid understand if people want to wait till that's patched to buy it. But at least in the 30 hours I currently have into the game nothing has been bad enough to really effect my experience or ruin my immersion. I've never once crashed to desktop and haven't been forced to restart once. Now I'll go over what I think is the best and worst parts of the game.
    Pros:
    -Night city feels full and vibrant. People have mentioned it feeling empty on here, but that wasn't my experience at all. Busy areas of the city have so many npcs that you have to push through them and the few completely desolate areas were clearly designed to be. There are things to do and quests all over the map and they all feel interesting with their own stories. Though actually I think there's a setting for npc amount so it might feel more empty on a weaker system.
    -Hacking. Watch Dogs was designed to be focused entirely around hacking and I find cyberpunks system much more fun and enjoyable. You can interact with objects to distract enemies, cause explosions, or take control of them. You can also hack people with the quickhacks that you collect which can do anything from large amounts of damage to moving them around to disabling their cyberware or blinding them. Intelligence feels like a very worthwhile stat that can hold it's own in combat.
    -The graphics. Lot's of people are saying it's super ugly and I think that's entirely unfair. Yes it looks better in some of the trailers like most games do. But it's still one of the nicest looking games I've played. And the aesthetic perfectly fits the image of night city.
    - The characters and quests. These are beautifully done. I've never felt more immersed in a game. The writing is great and all the quest characters feel real. There are funny moments, sad moments, incredibly dark moments, and they're all done incredibly well.
    - The cyberware. Each upgrade I got felt like a noticeable and interesting upgrade. Double jumps, time slow, hovering. The mantis blades and monowire were especially fun.
    Cons:
    -It's definitely buggy. Like pre USLEEP skyrim buggy. But none of what I've run into has been anything more than annoying. If bugs really break your immersion and you want the best possible experience though I recommend waiting.
    -Guns. It's more like a looter shooter than I would've hoped. Don't get too attached to anything because you will have to change it out.
    -*Crafting. I can't personally attest to this since I didn't spec into it, but I've heard that the crafting system and economy are basically broken.
    I guess as a final conclusion I think that cyberpunk is suffering from being hyped beyond reasonable expectation. I personally love story based rpgs and they're my favorite genre so I love this game. Despite the flaws it has it's quickly becoming one of my favorites if not my favorite game of all time.

    A magnificent and terrible fantasy world of a new generation. There are downsides, but these are not problems of imperfection of the game, it is a problem that the game has gone ahead of the industry. You can tell me about stupid NPCs, some bugs, and so on. All this is present. But the game unfolds in 2k or more. There are no equal possibilities in this game.
    The combat is revealed great, stealth is present. Yes, he is not perfect, but better - not in any modern game. Are the NPCs dumb? So this is because of the most complicated physics, if they did more, everyone would need at least 8/16 processors. CDRED did not follow the lead of the industry like activization or yubisoft, they tried to look further.

    The only thing that I would like to improve the variability of the plot and possibilities (it is impossible to kill some NPCs in secondary quests, like in Skyrim, etc.) and more beautiful special effects, such as fire and physics of destruction of cars, which either do not exist or they look weak, but this is not a reason lower the grade.

    The best game of the last 5 years.

The game RUNING on pcs with no video card is pretty impressive, it will not run with good graphics but still. For players of the table top and open world games this is a must play. This is not a sandbox or adventure game so manage your expectations. The combat I thought would be lackluster but it’s pretty solid, its not spongy and rewards planning and good aim. The narrative is perfect, it gets you invested in the characters and the world. Driving is good enough, it’s not trying to be a simulator so it does its job, getting better cars/bikes improves the experience. Quest and inventory management is very good, the menus are fast and responsive. No loading apart from fast traveling and loading save games. The game balance is pretty good, the pace of experience and money making is good so you can buy the more expensive stuff without grinding. Expand

    The game has a lot of bugs, but at the same time it is an exciting and unpredictable story with top-level graphics. People can pass through cars, through a character. If the developers patch the game, it will definitely be the game of the year.

    I can't see any reason that justifies Cyberpunk 2077 being open-world rather than linear. There is a very good game at the heart of Cyberpunk but it is buried under a deluge of padding, poor AI, an archaic loot system, and bugs.

    I can't see any reason that justifies Cyberpunk 2077 being open-world rather than linear. There is a very good game at the heart of Cyberpunk but it is buried under a deluge of padding, poor AI, an archaic loot system, and bugs.
    You start the game by customising your character and choosing a lifepath. Appearance and gender affect your romance options while the lifepath gives you one of 3 introductions along with differing dialogue options down the line.

    Once the intro is over, the 3 lifepath stories coalesce into an engaging story about a Mcguffin biochip, weaving in and out of the major Cyberpunk themes. As a fan of the genre, I found the main story and most of the side quests to be fascinating and the most engaging parts of the game. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preriferal objectives and activities surrounding the quality missions that weigh down the experience as a whole.

    The map is plastered with icons that represent activities of varying quality. Unfortunately, most will see you going to a location and killing some people with little context beyond "they are bad guys". These activities will be framed by soulless phone calls and end with money and exp materialising in your pocket. It is blatant padding, present to give the illusion that Night City is a place where stuff happens, while in reality there isn't much going on at all. At a glance, the city is gorgeous, sporting all of the neon and mismatched architecture a Cyberpunk city should have. Yet the inhabitants of Night City are mostly mindless drones. Seriously, the AI of pedestrians and drivers is Driver 3 levels of basic. Pedestrians have a stock crouch animation when things get violent and there seems to be no variation in their responses to your actions. The most glaring routines are those of the children. They wander around, unaccompanied, doing nothing. In the Witcher 3, kids would play tag, kick around in the mud and gawp at Geralt's swords. Why are these kids now so emotionless and why are they all missing their guardians?

    Things only get worse when you start driving. The only response other drivers ever have is to stop their vehicles and beep the horn. Park your car slightly off the curb? Cars will stop (even when there's space to go around) and beep their horn. Crash into a van at 120mph, they will stop and beep their horn. Shoot at them.. they don't really do anything when you do that actually but you get the idea. I am not a huge GTA fan but I have to admit, Rockstar nails pedestrian AI. Seeing the various reactions of crowds is one of the many joys an open-world city can provide. Without it the world feels so superficial.

    This feeling extends to the available cars too. Cars cannot be customised and are pretty much just a cosmetic option. Yes, they have differing speeds but the layout of Night City does not lend itself to fast driving and the car controls are average at best. This wouldn't bother me too much, but flying cars are present throughout the game, so it's pretty galling that you never get your hands on one or customise an existing car to fly.

    As an RPG there is also an in depth levelling system. There are over a dozen perk trees to fill out with the general buffs and upgrades you would expect, like increase health or do more damage. You can also buy upgrades like a rocket launcher in your wrist which is very cool, or a quickhack that sets enemies on fire. It is a typical RPG character progression system, it works well but it's not groundbreaking and the UI needs some work. Aside from character progression there is also loot which is handled very poorly. The game drowns you in weapons and clothing but most of it is useless. Throughout the game I have encountered about 6 guns that I actually use, these are "iconic" guns that can be upgraded. Despite this, almost every mission will end with my inventory being stuffed with a dozen new (weaker) assault rifles and pistols. The constant routine of running back and forth to a vendor is exhausting and the kind of thing we all had enough of in Skyrim, almost a decade ago. Similarly, you will frequently discover an entire new wardrobe. There are lots of cool clothing items in Cyberpunk but each of them has an arbitrary armour number so you will spend the majority of the game wearing a stupid mismatched outfit to maximise your armour.

    The gameplay itself is very basic FPS-RPG action. Bullet sponge enemies are frequent and your options are usually just stealth or kill everything. I enjoyed it, but the AI is simple and quickhacks are never as impactful as Geralt's Signs were.

    If you like the genre of Cyberpunk and have a system that can run it, you will love this game. If you are looking for the new benchmark for Open-Worlds you will be sorely dissappointed. I can't wait to see what CD Projekt red improves over the next year but as is, the open-world element of this game has glaring flaws that we have seen in dozens of lower budget games before it.

    Cons:
    - errors related to vehicle mechanics and driver's intelligence (vehicles appearing out of nowhere, cars standing in the middle of a crossroads or highway, strange collisions, cars parked under the street)
    - police behaviour is not natural
    - enemies sometimes jam during combat and become simple targets
    - you can see that some elements have been removed from the game (unused parts of the city, mechanics that were used only once)

    I generally recommend the game to people who like RPG and SF fans. Errors after some time stop bothering.

Cyberpunk 2077 has everything you'd expect, and that's about it. Nothing really new and interesting. I dragged myself through the ending of the main mission which was left in the air. This game offers multiple play throughs and different life paths, but honestly I don't see myself playing this again. Perhaps with future updates it will be something worth investing more time. I'm happy I experienced this game, it's not all bad, there are some amazing playable cutscenes, the vehicles look awesome to be Frank. The city's design is pretty cool for the most part, but it still felt underwhelming, there are plenty of NPC's, but overall this game feels entirely half baked. The writing is decent, but the overall story was interesting at first but my story's conclusion was lame and left in the air. Dialogue isn't as in depth as I hoped, with few dialogue options that don't actually affect the plot, but offer a bit more lore or information. Cyberpunks main missions are by far the best part of the game, as underwhelming and fragmented the story is, there are some cool missions that really suck you in, only to be let down by the rest of the game. Side missions are pretty generic, find stuff, kill people. There is plenty of clutter in Night City to waste your time. Overall it's well polished, but a turd nonetheless. Expand

    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.
