    The best game i have ever played in my entire life. Yes, there are bugs but it's only first week after premiere. The gameplay, story and graphics are so stunning. I could play this game forever. The characters feel so real, i think i have a crush on one of them. Really worth buying, even with bugs.

It's like a store-brand GTA clone that's not anywhere near as good as GTA, missing KEY FEATURES that come standard in literally every other open-world game in 2020. The one saving grace could be the main story, and story oriented side missions, which can be quite fun and engaging *at times* but they are mostly sad, boring conversations with depressing people about how things never work out the way you'd like. No kidding, CDPR, no kidding. Expand

    At least for PC, the epicness of gameplay, graphics and story are far far more important the the flaws. CD Projekt deserves a 10 for this masterpiece.

    While it run smoothly on my PC with very little performance drops and no crashes I have a strongly mixed feelings about it.
    The map is large, graphics is good, soundtrack is nice, there's a lot of writing and voice overs. It's clear that an army of decent artists worked on that.

    The map is large, graphics is good, soundtrack is nice, there's a lot of writing and voice overs. It's clear that an army of decent artists worked on that.
    On the "actual game" side it's completely different story:

    Combat is very basic, there are basically four enemies and one bullet sponge variant. Enemies give up fighting you after you crouch behind cover few times. Whole aming, dodgning and melee reminds me of bad Maken X clone. That game was released in 1999.

    There is no AI in this game. Opponents just shoot, move a bit, and get confused as **** when you crouch behind a crate.

    Sneaking is bad. Enemies freeze in place and repeat constantly two sentences when alerted. At one time they will see you while you're behind them, at other they won't notice you in front of them. Robots cannot be taken down so you're left with loud option. Just like Deus Ex, some bosses just must be fought so full stealth build is not an option.

    Driving has an input delay and feels unresponsive.

    Dialog system promises you freedom of choice but all you can choose are mostly some minor things that play out almost immediately. Some choices do not affect the course of play at all.

    Main story is super boring and badly written. 90% of the time you listen to poor dialogs and very weak exposition. Pretty much nothing is shown and everything is told. Even Keanu sounds bored and ashamed to be in it. It's a spit in the face of original Pondsmith material.

    Side quests are a bit better because there's some gameplay in them even though every side piece of content is basically fetch an item or slap a baddie.

    There are like three braindances which are basically short point and click minigames and only in main story.

    Even if they fix technical issues it's still objectively one of the worst games. Game's high budget and good graphics are like a Jedi mind trick, work only on the weak minded. Everything is bugged, everything is glitching. If it's in the game there's something wrong with it. And if someone's giving it more than 5/10 there's something wrong with him/her/them.

    Another pretty but shallow game courtesy of people who give high scores. That's why we can't have nice things. Thanks a s s h o l e s.

    The game runs like garbage, glitches are everywhere, practically no player choice (No game-changing choices but just small ones). It feels like it could have been in development for the next 2 years at least. Hopefully, the free DLC coming out next year will make the game better. The game isn't bad... but just is nowhere near good even if it wasn't glitchy as ****

Honestly, my PC components are five years old, and I'm still rocking on high settings. This game is absolutely an imperfect perfection. Don't let the mob of incels ruin the game for you.

    First of all I was very hyped with this game, because I love Pen&Paper RPGs. And I loved the idea of having a P&P RPG Game on PC.
    And I knew that my old hardware can't handle the game so updated before the game came out.
    Now that I have played the game a while, I want to review it. It's have some bugs. Some minor and some bigger. But there not affecting the fun that I have playing

    And I knew that my old hardware can't handle the game so updated before the game came out.

    Now that I have played the game a while, I want to review it.

    It's have some bugs. Some minor and some bigger. But there not affecting the fun that I have playing it.
    The graphics look really great and there are plenty of details. Even without ray-tracing.
    And yes, I know that on low and medium settings the world looks not beautiful. This can be frustrating. But what does people expect when they play the game on hardware that is 7 years old. And yes I directly address the console gamers. Yeah it's not optimised. And this is one thing that you can accuse CD Projekt Red. But what game nowadays is optimised. All triple A titles are badly coded cause to the time and budged.

    The sound is good. You can choose between many genres, on the radio. The speech sound is average, not ground braking. The sounds from weapons, cars, doors, and so on is also pretty normal. Not much to complain.

    Now the most important part, at least on my perspective. The story. First of all. Yes the story is great and well written. But it's more like an movie then an RPG game. You have sometimes multiple options but the outcome is the same.
    The world over all feels alive but empty. You can barely have a conversation with npcs. They only say one sentence.

    The controls are good, except the close combat and there specifically the fist fight. It feels clumsy. The rest is fine and intuitive.

    But does all this infect the fun that I have playing the Cyberpunk. No.
    Sometimes I want to change details in the story or the interaction. But maybe this will be possible with mods.
    The bugs aren't disturbing, ok the large part of the bugs. Some are even funny to watch or had helped me.

    I don't understand the console community. What did they expect.
    But CD Projekt had made a mistake. They shouldn't had released the game for the old consoles. But I think this was an management decision and not from the programmers.

    I hope CD PR will recover from this and will release other very good games in the future.

    Sorry for my bad english.

    My setup: AMD Ryzen 3700X, 16gb ram, NVidia RTX 1070 and game is on an M2 SSD, so it loads really quick.

    The graphics are mind mending. There is a giant, gorgeous world to explore, people to meet, things to do. I can't think of a single game that comes close to this in scope and execution. This game is THE reason to buy/build a gaming PC. I don't know what it's like on console, maybe it really does suck. But if you have a pc that can run this game with even close to full graphics, oh wow. You don't even need to play it to appreciate what CDprojekt Red has accomplished. Just walk down the street in night city and prepare to be blown away.

    I'd spend 1000$ just to be able to play this for 10 hours. And it would be money well spent.

    Beautiful.

    Besides being a fun game with a good story, awesome characters, a lot of content and a great open world, It still falls short on It's own ambition. The game Is a buggy mess, even on the PC, and that's not the end of the problems, the game has Terrible A.I for the NPCs, unpolished animations, T-Poses, etc.

    I waited 8 years for cyberpunk and whilst clearly the game did not live up to the hype, it's still an incredibly enjoyable experience. It's just so unfortunate that the launch overall was unacceptable.

    Graphics:
    The game even on medium settings is quite pretty. My hardware defaults to high preset for some reason but even from that and seeing the rtx stuff, the game looks phenomenal on those settings. Night City is such an exciting environment to explore and one of my favourite aspects of the game is just driving around and taking in the atmosphere. Just be warned on low the game looks quite flat and given the launch performance, that's how most people who don't have the latest high end hardware will have to experience the game. Plus it can take a while for the engine to load in textures on occasion leading to that heavily memed ps1 aesthetic (though I have to admit I find it oddly charming). Some people have also complained about substandard effects like bullet decals on water but that's relatively minor for me personally.

    Sound:
    The soundtrack has a nice mix of genre's (especially the radio's) with a mix of ambient electronic, metal/punk, rap and more aggressive techno. Go listen to the Pacific Dreams station, it's fantastic. Weapon and vehicle sounds are pretty okay, nothing ground breaking. I have noticed however that audio can occasionally disappear from guns due to bugs.

    Story:
    I won't go into any spoilers and I haven't completed the final mission but from what i've played so far I've enjoyed the story quite a lot. Apart from the irony of corporate exploitation being the central point and cdpr forcing staff to do 6 months straight of over time, the game handles mature topics extremely well and hit me in the feels. As someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety, I felt that particular topic was well handled. However, I've noticed some dialogue that just doesn't work when asking every single question in the dialogue tree and even though keanu reeves is godtier, I find some of Johnny's writing in particular, lacklustre. In addition, a lot of side quests have perceived choice where in reality, their is only one actual outcome.

    Gameplay.
    Shooting stuff is fun, Driving is fun, Melee combat is clumsy, Augmenting yourself is neat since (especially the powered jump). Basically think open world sandbox Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Unfortunately I feel the game misses the bar in terms of being an immersive sim but I'm not 100% that's what the devs were going for. I've had friends also complain that other than quests the world is quite barren.

    Performance & Bugs
    Pre 1.05 the game was awful. I've had people say the game runs fine for them but completely discredit those who've had a less than stellar experience. It's not that it's unplayable for me, but it was for some pals and I feel that the overall experience was diminished from having to lower graphics, deal with inconsistent fps, crashes and a plethora of bugs such as broken UI elements, getting locked into place needing a reset, broken physics, gun models disappearing, enemies floating and t-posing away during cutscenes, I could go on. It's also important to mention that I had specs above the recommended for high with no raytracing. At launch I had to keep the game to mid-low with still some frame drops due to poor optimisation, especially in some areas like outside the apartment, chinatown and japantown. Sometimes frames would just die for no reason and stay that way until I reset the entire system. Other times I had to hard reset my pc because the game just randomly locked up everything.

    Ethics:
    This game was built on false advertising, abuse of the development team and severe mismanagement. I find that poignant to mention for some folk.

    TLDR: A fun game that doesn't live up to the hype. It looks pretty if you can run it but it launched buggy as hell and the devs were hella shady. I would have rated it an 8 if I hadn't of noticed most of the things are done better in other games and it didn't launch so naff.

    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.
