    Ever since the Witcher 3 I have been eagerly anticipating this game. CD Project Red did not disappoint! For me this is definitely the best game I have played in years. It is the Deus Ex open world game I dreamed of, but with the added bonus of a tiered loot system. As expected from CDPR, the story is amazing, as is the world building (I love learning about the lore of this universe).

    You do need a decent gaming rig to run this though, but if you have that it is beautiful.

    Now, like was the case for the Witcher 3, there are still bugs after release that can sometimes take you out of the immersion, which is a shame, but I have confidence that they will be patched by CDPR. They are similar to the shenanigans you have in the typical Bethesda game, but while fans have to make unofficial patches to fix Bethesda games, I do not think this will be needed here.

    If you love the cyber genre, and you love being immersed in world with rich lore and a good rpg system, buy this game!

    Yes, I know that there is that "controversy" related to bugs but I can assure you, on PC the game is solid. From y experience, this whole thing is highly exaggerated. During my 60h playthrough the game haven't crashed even once. And only two times I had to reload the save because some mission objective would not update. Just two times during 60h! People who call it "a buggy mess" clearly just want to cash in on YouTube views or article clicks. Listen to your fellow gamer, you can play it without the doubts. You will enjoy it.
    The most common "bugs" that I noticed are graphical ones. Sometimes NPCs are T-posing far away, at the edge od field of view. Sometimes, also at the edge of field of view, cars jump up in the air. You can also encounter some NPCs clipping into the road or a wall. Nothing really major. To be honest I think I would not even notice those bugs if I wouldn;t be focused on looking for them.
    Those minor bugs are the reason I'm giving this game 9/10. I can imagine someone might be more irritated with them and score the game at 8/10. But the truth is, everything below that is just straight up unfair.
    Now for the good parts:
    Night City - it's the most realistic city you will find in a video game. The scale, the ammount of people, there's something happening on every street. Sure, im most cases those are just very similiar activities, but those make sure you have a feeling the city lives. You can;t just go from point A to B, something will happen while you do that. The whole city design. It had to be titanic work bringing this thing to be. For me the city is another character in this game. It will chew you out and spit you out. It's a city of dreams but those dreams usually end bad for the citizens.
    Characters - expect nothing less than in Witcher 3. When you finish the game, you will feel that feeling of emptines and nostalgia. The same that you have after finishing good book. Victor, Misty, Panam, Judy, Kerry, Evelyn, Rogue, River, Us Cracks, Johnny and so on. You will make friends, you will care about them. They are not perfect, they are not there just to bring you the joy and not for everyone of them there will be happy ending. But that's what make them feel real.
    Story and side quests - there's a lot of simple quests, called "gigs" that are more or less just a generic quests: go there, steal this, kill someone, hack something. But there are also some of the most mature quest you will ever experience in a video game. They will ask you questions: what it means to be alive? Is your personality and body the only thing that makes "you"? Can you live without the soul? Is AI truly alive? What does it mean to be free? Is it worth to chase your dreams?
    Gun fight is great, especialy in a late game once you unlock certains skills, get proper implants. Hacking is awesome. I even liked the melee. You just need to get gorilla arms to have fun out of it.
    There are some other aspects of this game that I could write essey about but I'm not very good at it, so I won't. Just know that this game is a lot of fun. Just like the Witcher 3. It's different in many aspects but at a core it's the same. A game created with love. And because of that it's sad that both media and YouTubers jumped on that "controversy" band wagon, trying to make a quick cash. This game does not deserve that. You can play it right now and you will have a great time. You will get emotional, sometimes sad, sometimes happy but you will have that feeling that you are experiencing a great adventure.
    And I hope that after CDPR fixes those bugs that I mentioned, and both media and YouTuber won't have any more "issues" to exaggerate, the game will be recognized as one of the best game world ever created.

    Disgusting review bombing from console owners. There is no way PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 is a 7 (even with all the bugs). The music is fantastic (and all custom made - talk about effort), the voice acting is superb, story is great, visually Night City is stunning and probably the most impressive videogame city ever made.

    The main problem for PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 is bugs, which will be fixed with time. Witcher 3 launched in a pretty bad shape too, but was eventually polished. Sure, AI definitely could use some work. And they could make city feel more alive by adding tattoo shops, hair stylists, maybe some mini-games, etc. But that's all fixable and at least some of those things are surely coming with the promised DLCs next year.

    I have a mid-range PC (GTX 1060) and I could run the game smoothly with high settings so there are clearly people here that exaggerate how unoptimized this game is. I played for ~60 hours and thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game. Objectively I'd rate it 8/10 right now (before bug fixes and DLC additions), but seeing all the disgusting review bombing I have to give it 10/10. When it's all said and done Cyberpunk 2077 will be remembered as one of the best RPGs ever made. Give it time, you'll see.

    I will start by stating that critical thinking has died on this website, mostly, because all of these 'reviews' are unreasonable and pure vomit. People are complaining about console performance on the PC portal, shows just how 'critical' are these 'wanna be' reviewers. I will try to appeal to a reasonable reader that does not see everything in black and white (or either 10 and 0 scores).I will start by stating that critical thinking has died on this website, mostly, because all of these 'reviews' are unreasonable and pure vomit.

    Graphics and hardware optimisation:
    This is a PC ONLY discussion, therefore console buyers should skip this part. I understand the frustration of the players that have a GTX 10 series or older gpu, not being able to run the game smoothly and at high settings, however the RTX users have a great time, mostly because of DLSS. Even an RTX 2060 with DLSS on can run you high to ultra settings at 50-60 fps. is that unreasonable for a gpu that costed $349 MSRP at launch? The old hardware struggles, and rightly so. The raw performance, architecture, VRAM, everything has changed so do not expect to run this game with your 'hard earned' GTX 1060. *CONSOLES* Your PS4 was launched in 2013, you should have a brain of an amoeba to think that you could run the game on a $400 console from 2013, despite the promises. My advice to you: Be sceptical of everything in your life. Back to PC. People saying that CDPR are untalented are absolutely blind. The lighting is so well designed, that in most cases you do not need RTX ON for it to be realistic. Textures have lots of details. A variety of settings to tailor the graphics to your hardware. The only complaint really is the skin and character animations. They are not as realistic as TLOU 2 for example, however more than acceptable to enjoy the game. I guarantee that reviewers that complain about low fps, poor graphics etc. run a non RTX gpu. If they do and still have issues, then they have issues (not with the game). Don't believe me and this review, go and check the youtube, and I'd highly recommend the 30 min LinusTechTips video. Another advice: if you have old hardware play on Geforce Now or Stadia.

    Gameplay:
    I would like to see at least one critical negative review of the gameplay and RPG aspect. I laughed so hard at 'spencieboi' opinion that RPG system is either boring or non-existent. He clearly did not open the menu to see that there are 5 main attributes, 2-3 categories for each attribute, and about 20 perks for each category. Do the maths. There is a lot of freedom of choice. You choose the clothing and fighting style, weapons, stealth or berserk, cyber implants etc. Is that not enough RPG? Even The Witcher 3, people's most favourite, has less RPG elements. The dialogues are well written, and only a child will not be able to follow a conversation, even if they use seemingly futuristic language. The choices you make do not necessarily change the outcome, but the means you get to it. I am not going to spoil anything so you will have to see it for yourself. Even though there is a lot of freedom in this game, it does not reward the player for killing random npcs, and the NCPD are going to issue a warrant to kill you, as well as other netrunners coming for you. The weapons feel real, maybe CDPR got inspired by CS GO and its physics. Is it a looter shooter? Perhaps. Is the looting essential like Destiny or Borderlands franchise? No. You may have weak weapons, the attribute level and perks are going to boost you, and vice-versa. An issue here is the balance of the perks. Obviously it is hard to balance out the value of different perks, therefore only the future patches are going to indicate whether some skills are OP or not. This game is not just a shooter, or a slasher, or a stealth crawler, it is a combination and you decide how you want to play it. Isn't it what RPG means? Or do people desire for God of War and The Witcher 3 RPG where the changes in gameplay are minimal and don't require the player to use his brain.

    Bugs:
    The bugs are certainly present. The question is, whether you are lucky enough to find a few cosmetical bugs e.g. npcs walking over cars, being stuck in textures, weapons being invisible etc. I have not experience game-breaking bugs, crushes, stuck quests etc. Maybe I was lucky enough, or maybe people exaggerate the seriousness of the bugs. I REMIND YOU THAT THE REVIEW IS PC ONLY. Console bugs do not concern me and I frankly do not care.

    Conclusion:
    Buying a game at launch, you sign the 'early adopter' title, whether the game is buggy or fully functioning and perfect. Do not expect the game to be playable on any hardware. Do not expect the game to be a 'smash a button to win'. Use your brains. Read into the skills and perks. Let the game lead you into its mechanics, it does it really well. If you cant afford the hardware to render the game on your system, you have cloud gaming option, and you will be shocked how good it has gotten. Please readers of metacritic, don't be manipulated by negative or positive reviews, not even by this one. Form your own opinion.

This game has had more love put into it than any game I have ever played, Sure it’s not perfect, but every aspect of its design is more enticing than any game I have played.

    To those on the edge trying to decide whether to take the leap of faith and purchase this game, Note this: this game was pressured to be released by majority of the users that have given it poor reviews. This game is a work of art which even I would call unfinished, and yet it is the future of RPGs, it is also more than worth your investment and your support.
    I hope that you will be able to set aside the grievances of the few and work past the bugs to experience once of the most beautifully crafted games to have ever been created.

    If you're browsing this page you're likely to know already about the buggy mess that is CP2077.

    So, let's pretend that game runs perfectly, with no bugs, glitches, crashes and so on. Is Cyberunk a good game?

    Well, no. It's not terrible either, but it's definitely far from what it was advertised as. The city looks nice,
    but there's nothing to do outside of questlines, so you don't rerally get to "live" Night City.

    The story is not half bad, but it's totally on tracks. There are a bunch of endings (which quality may vary), but other than that, the main questline doesn't change in the slightest depending on what you have chosen previously.

    The game lacks some features that were standardized in much, much older games. Not only you don't get to change your body, you don't even get to cut your hair. You don't get to customize your cars, not even on the inside. If i have to be honest, i've come to realize that the game was flawed when while exploring night city, i took my time to explore a cool looking club, and i couldn't even order from the barman.

    And now, we can step back into reality, and remember that the whole game is -again- a buggy mess. There was not a single moment that i was enjoying that wasn't ruined by a bug of some sort. It actually became quite funny to witness all the janky physics and the disappearing stuff throughout the game.

    Without the obvious technical issues, CP would be barely passable, but definitely far from the standard that i would have expected from CDPR. Not only cyberpunk is far from being a game changer in the GDR universe, it doesn't even get right things that we saw in games from more than a decade ago.

    I find the gameplay enjoyable apart from a few annoyances, and the story of the game is really good. Yes it’s still buggy at the time of me writing this, but those will be fixed soon. Hopefully they will add some missing features as well in time, along with more content in DLCs. Worth giving it a try for sure. You might want to wait some time for it though.
    Just a reminder, that this review is only about the state of the PC version. The PS 4 and Xbox One versions are unplayable trash and CDPR should be ashamed of themselves for releasing it in such a state. May they lose LOTS of money on that **** so they think a second time about doing such **** in the future.

    it is poorly optimized which I hope fixed in updates
    world design is good but well don't expect a witcher game. not all can communicate with the world as I saw in communities but for me, it is well designed
    the combat system is well designed
    but now problems in the game:
    1-characters: characters are not that much well designed like the witcher game. they simply can be predicted
    2- the story is not that much deep or better say still not interested me as well
    3- side quests and exploring not that much fun. side quests are just simple tasks and there is no point in exploring at all and if you do not rewarding

    well there are still rooms for improvement even in gameplay but even at this state this is a fantastic 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.
