    Just finished the game for the first time and I fell... Not sure how to put that in words. Hope there is some major post story DLC like the Blood and Wine expansion for Witcher 3, the game has some nice looking endings but hopefully, they flesh it out with a bunch of stability updates and a big DLC or 2.

    For me the game is an amazing with a great experience to offer. Even with the glitches I am having a great time. 9/10 right now and if the fix the glitches and police AI it would become a 10/0 for me. I love the feel of night city. Gunplay is great and personally i have had more fun with the katana then I expected. Don't pass it up.

    Best game of the past 10 years, forsure.
    The story is immersive, impressive and outright genius. The graphics are amazing (to those of you running it on 7 year old hardware--what did you expect?) and Im not even running it on PC, i'm running Cyberpunk 2077 on Stadia. I've encountered minor bugs which will get patched eventually so it's not a big deal and most definitely not a dealbreaker.

The gameplay is intuitive and the freedom this game gives you to choose your own personality and storyline is something I havent experienced in a long time. Fantastic game, and RPGs are not my cup of tea AT ALL.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece. An unfinished masterpiece, but one none the less.

    Overview: Cyberpunk is the best-looking and most emotionally impactful game in history at time of release. Unfortunately, a myriad of bugs, missing features, and clearly rushed mechanics prevent it from being what it could have been: A top five game ever.

    Gameplay:

    Cyberpunk plays like the standard open world shooter RPG in the vein of borderlands. Its smooth, chaotic, and fun, offering interesting gunplay and hacking option. While the combat is solid and fun it offers nothing new and exciting, simply feeling like a better borderlands. Melee combat in particular feels like it could have been greatly improved.

    Driving is very enjoyable, but suffers from glitches and spotty handling. A little tightening up here would have done wonders. The driving AI is nonexistent and it really shows in things like racing. But, open world traversal on a motorcycle is undeniably way more fun than it should be.

    Gamplay outside of combat will feel very familiar as it plays much like the Witcher. You talk to people, go place, kill people, and do some light investigating. The real beauty of the game is the sheer wealth of dialogue options that completely shape the course of outcome. Cyberpunk takes this further than any other open world game has.

    Story and missions: Cyberpunk's story is the place it really shines. The main questline is exhilarating, well-paced, and seamlessly intertwined with engaging side missions. It tugs on emotions, and the voice acting is superb (mostly). Cyberpunk easily stands up next to the better story-driven games in history such as The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Heavy Rain, and Mass Effect. This is where the game excels. The main quest and a solid nucleus of about half a dozen critical side missions provide the core to the game, each with engaging characters and branching paths that affect not only the quest itself but the end game. The only negative here is that while there are a huge amount of "gig" style quests (think fetch quests and other generic things) and a decent number of core side quests with considerable impact to the story, there isn't much in between. You can tell just by looking at a quest if its important or not, and it doesn't feel organic. Most quests are initiated by phone calls, rather than discovering them naturally. There was barely a handful of quests that began and played out naturally while exploring, and almost all of these occurred in the first act of the game.

    Graphics: Obviously, this depends on your hardware. I'm running two generation old specs (1080ti) and it runs flawlessly. On medium settings at 1440p the world looks amazing, making it easily on the most beautiful games. Charecter models look natural, especially in key scenes. And this is without high end graphic features like Ray Tracing.

    Glitches and Bugs: On PC these are greatly exaggerated. I have experienced a myriad of minor bugs (items clipping, weird physics, voice overs not playing but the quest progressing, etc), but only two bugs caused me to reload a save or restart the game, and both of those occurred day or release. CD ProjectRed's history suggests that these glitches will be addressed completely within weeks at most.

    Other notes: Much of the reasons for disappointment is what Cyberpunk didn't do. It didn't push the envelope on a vibrant world that felt alive. It didn't blow my mind with custom features. It didn't redefine open world games. What it did, it did well, but it left opportunities. For example, simple things like the ability to change your hair or tattoos don't exist.

    Rating and rationale: Despite the myriad of letdowns in this game, when you look past the hype, it is a genre-defining (though not revolutionary) open-world game. With a top-notch story, beautiful world, and vibrant character that form emotional connections, this game pulls all the right levers.

    My gut rating would be an 8.5/10. But when comparing this to other open-world games such as the Borderlands series, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, and Fallout, Cyberpunk has a slight edge over all of them even in its unfinished state. It has more heart, more replayability, and a much better story. For this reason, I give Cyberpunk 2077 a 9/10 at launch with the opportunity to improve if issues like poor driving AI and lack of appearance editing options are added in future patches and DLC.

    There are issues with this game far past the wealth of bugs you encounter.

    Some of my biggest gripes stem from the NPC AI and the lack of content in Night City. Driving feels lifeless, there are zero car customization options, and NPCs drive scripted, unimpacted by things like assault with a deadly weapon or your vehicle blocking their path.

I was somebody who was extremely excited to play this game. I could not have been more let down by the RPG and combat elements. Barebones gear and weapons, an extremely average perk system are culminate in an extremely disappointing role playing experience. I could completely look past the bugs but the fact is this game is extremely low quality in this current state. Points for graphics and an above average main story line.

    I’m playing on RTX 2070 Super/ Rayzen 3900x ..

    Time flys so fast when I play Cyberpunk. The fun Im having with this game allowed me to forgive the occasional frame drops here and there (I believe that will be fixed). What can’t be fixed is how shallow the story is! Maybe some DLCs can give the story some depth..

    Will update my review as soon as I finish the full game.

The game is smooth and solid on Stadia, the story is captivating, the world is lush and full of life and the bugs are aplenty but overall its a fun and exhilarating experience and CDPR has done an outstanding job story telling. The people crying over the bugs are the same people that were crying and shaming them for not releasing creating the additional pressure. Games of today are not Supermario, there is much more complexity involved. Real score is an 8.5. I can't give them a 10 but here is the breakdown:
    Story : 10
    Immersion : 9.5
    Plentifulness of World : 10
    Gear and customization : 10
    Rpg elements : 10
    Driving and cars : 7.5 a little disappointed there
    Technology : 6.5 lots of little immersion breaking bugs, some interrupting bugs even requiring forcing restarts.
    Responsiveness of cdpr : 10, they have already released a couple of updates soo I am sure it will eventually get the love it deserves.
    Audio : 10 its amazing and fitting for the environment.

    It really seems that the community is trying to bump up this game,since the positive is like...10/10 crashed a few times, had to save scrub a few times due to bugs, but really enjoyed beta testing this grabage dump.

    PS: decided to play witcher 3 since i had never played it. The starting area seems to have more development than all of cyber punk 2077.

    The game is enjoyable, good looking, well written. The side quests are pretty nice too and feel good to complete. There are quite a few bugs but the game-breaking ones are (very) rare. Bugs are the only reason I give it a 9 overall. Everything else is worth a 10. Would replay.

    On a side note, I understand PlayStation 4 players are angry but the ones who wrote the reviews mentioning delays that "should be enough" are the same who wrote angry tweets complaining about those same delays. This is the reason why they couldn't delay it more.
    I also saw a review mentioning life choices and saying it didn't affect your game. I'm going to correct it: it does affect your game. During the whole game, you are often presented with dialogue options that can only be done depending on your path. Seeing how that user also mentioned several other matters that do not match the game even right on the day 0 patch, I wouldn't trust that review.

    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.
