    This game, as I'm writing this around the patch 1.04 and 1.05, it is a mixed bag. The game itself plays well from a gameplay perspective and has a nice story and gives you a lot to do and such, it is a good open-world experience, but it is quite riddled with bugs, from clipping models to one minor sidequest becoming incompletable to save file corruptions (if you play long enough) toThis game, as I'm writing this around the patch 1.04 and 1.05, it is a mixed bag. The game itself plays well from a gameplay perspective and has a nice story and gives you a lot to do and such, it is a good open-world experience, but it is quite riddled with bugs, from clipping models to one minor sidequest becoming incompletable to save file corruptions (if you play long enough) to moments where if you land in a specific way on a space, it makes it so that you get instantly KO'd, to the game actually running quite sluggishly even on low settings (my setup is a ryzen 3600 and a nvidia 1080 ti).

    You might want to wait until the game gets its patches, and my review score of 7 is taking 1-3 points off for how buggy it is, otherwise I would rank it around 8 to 10.

    We were sold an immersive open world 'RPG'. We got a casual looter shooter with buckets full of unfinished features and bugs & with underwhelming gameplay instead. The only reason to even play this game is for the art direction, atmosphere and story, the rest is just not worth it.

    From the laughable 'RPG' aspect of the game to strange arcadey driving or the complete lack of interaction
    We were sold an immersive open world 'RPG'. We got a casual looter shooter with buckets full of unfinished features and bugs & with underwhelming gameplay instead. The only reason to even play this game is for the art direction, atmosphere and story, the rest is just not worth it.

    From the laughable 'RPG' aspect of the game to strange arcadey driving or the complete lack of interaction with the city / NPCs. The boring sponge-shooting fest that gunfights where you'll empty magazine after magazine into mindless AI, and shovel piles and piles of the same looking gun to clog up the already cluttered and horribly designed interface. The stealth approach is just an exercise in frustration and simply does not work. Most of the items you pick up are completely useless and only serve to make money or 'craft'. Aside from the main & side quests there is simply nothing to do in Night city.

    Overall the game tries to convey a sense of complexity and depth but after the few hours playing through the prologue and completing a few quests you soon realise it was all just smoke and mirrors and that the game has the depth of a puddle.

    I do not think any amount of fixes or DLC content can make this game any better than just 'mediocre' which is a shame considering the potential that the game's universe had.

    bugs and glitchers don't bother me as they will get ironed out soon, but all the cut content is hard to ignore.

    провел в игре добрую 100 часов, атмосфера затягивает, иммерсивность просто зашкаливает, проваливаешься в мир на несколько часов, совершенно теряя счет времени. сперва думал, что нельзя назвать игру шедевром, но, пока расписывал плюсы, поменял мнение на противоположное.

    на игру сыплется много хейта за оптимизацию и баги, но даже на среднебюджетном железе идет весьма недурно, проработка

    My system easily plays any game you throw at it: RDR2, Control, Flight Simulator 2020, etc. This game is UNPLAYABLE in my system, constantly crashing, stuttering and full of bugs too. It's shameful the state this game was released in. ONLY BUY IT IN 1 YEAR.

    The game was waited for over 8 years and it turned out to be a buggy soapy mess. For a 2020 game, this is no good. Maybe half a year and everything was fine. But clearly not now.

    NOT AS ADVERTISED. 2/3 of the game is missing. After playing all endings, took me 35hrs btw. RDR2 took me 200hrs to finish the story so its save to say CP2077 needs 2 more years of development. They call this Gold status lol. Thats how corporate greed looks like. They might aswell ad microtransactions to the game, i don´t even care imo. Savefile gets corrupted when playing to long lol.

    I've played now 30 hours and I really like this game. You dip in a complete different world and it feels good. Although the game os buggy it's still very playable. Music is different but this fits to the dystopic character of the game. Graphic is good, I play on Ryzen 7 1st Gen and a Radeon 590 on Ultra Settings. The game looks better with raytracing but it's still enough.

    I think without a doubt that i would give a 9 or 10 to this game if it was actually in a decent state.

    To conclude, cyberpunk is the best early access game that i've ever played. Too bad it came out too early.

    Ok bugs are there but they will be gone. The game itself is a marvellous thing. Stopping me from giving it 10/10 is lack of random events and NPCs interactions on the loop and missing features as per: [link omitted per site rules]

    We got ripped off by CDPR. I hope you lose compensation cases and go bankrupt. This is not next gen open world RPG-action game this is non finished gta 5. Even if we ignore the bugs and crashes the game is awful.
    There is no optimization, no artificial intelligence, no interaction or impact to game world or npcs. Nothing about future, guns same, cars same, humans same, buildings same.

Cars move like Aladdin's carpet. Adding breed cats to street and chrome makeup to humans doesn't make futuristic game. 2020 Las Vegas is more futuristic than junk city.
    Swimming and police mechanics it's worse than gta san andreas. Main guests are ordinary, not exciting or curious. Side guests are same just go kill and take the bag, chip, money etc. I'm now understand the real value of rockstar games or ubisoft games.

    Thank you for creating this.

    Edit: After playing over 50 hours my initial impressions remained the same; however i wanted to add how much i enjoy the story, the characters and the music. I feel that i am building connections to the NPC's in the game and want to see their story. Initially i wanted to finish the main story and change to a different lifepath to the Nomad to see how they play out, but I cant as i feel emotionally invested in my current Nomad V. I want to see his story in Night City and the decisions I make as i do the side quests.

    I used to play Cyberpunk 2020 as a Tabletop RPG so this might make me bias as i have experienced the Cyberpunk world before in my imagination and how this have been reimagined by CDPR. I have seen criticism on how they implemented the skills and attributes and how they not making any game changing difference to some people as it seems they only give % increases, which is partly true, but this is how majority of true Tabletop RPG's work which this game is based. I also disagree as i can see my playstyle changing as i am gaining experience and leveling up my character.

    I think this game is Game of the Year in 2020 for me despite all the drama around it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cyperpunk 2077 is really good game and truly amazing experience. The game immediately grabs attention with its gritty, dark and rough world of Cyberpunk.

    I spent several hours playing it and it is already up there for me with GTA5, RDR2, Witcher3 and Mass Effect. Games that I consider the best of the best.

    I am looking forward to replay Cyberpunk, explore Night City, experience the game with all its characters, do all side quests and see and do everything that this game has to offer.

    From technical point of view this is state of the art with cutting edge visuals that requires latest RTX and RX hardware to experience it to the fullest.

    It seems to me that there are some people are really sore that their hardware cannot handle the game as they expected. To them I will say tough luck. You want next gen visuals and smooth frame rates then it is time to upgrade your aging hardware. Time to get new video cards from AMD and Nvidia. Alternatively get new Xbox and PlayStation.

    However if you want to stay with PC I do not think you will need to break your bank to experience the game properly. From my own experience with mid range AMD 3600 and budget Radeon NAVI 5500Xt 8GB it is perfectly achievable to play the game close to 60FPS with middle settings and Fidelity FX enabled.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 should have been wake up call for you. it is going to get tougher on your old hardware in next few years as developers will spend more time developing games for the latest PC hardware and new consoles.

    The game will get patched and it seens to me the studio is working very hard on it since we are already on version 1.05.

    I am 10 hours in the game now and I have encountered 3 bugs so far. Two with people walking through walls and one with information about food that I bought from a vendor that would not disappear. I had to reload save file in that case. I would say those are minor bugs which can be expected from a game of Cyberpunk scope. I feel PC version is solid.

    In summery Cyberpunk is truly unique experience. I am glad that I have per-ordered the game. Zero regrets. This game is awesome. Everyone should experience this game. Another special gem from CD Projekt Red.

    PS: PS4 players review bombing PC version. You have 7 years old hardware. Get PS4 Pro at least. Do not expect to get PC visuals with your outdated hardware and slow hard drives. Time to pick up PS5 with SSDs. Your console is out the door.

    I highly recommend this game.

    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.
