    So far I've had a very smooth experience with the PS4 pro version of the game, and it is really fantastic so far (6hrs in). Don't believe the hyperbolic internet.

    I know. 9 is a high score for such a buggy game.
    To be clear, im not gonna defend CDPR and how they handled their console edition, launch and delays in this review.
    I will focus on the product itself. I believe that this game is truly amazing and it raises the bar in the Singleplayer RPG genre.

    And let me explain why

    Story: its just amazing, no other word for it. No other game is even close to this level of immersion. its just that good. I have been gaming ALOT in my 31 years on this planet and i have never experienced anything that could pull my heartstrings like this. Beyond that, the game makes you think about your choices and your journey.

    Sound/music: The sound is Okay, maybe a little above average. The music however, is just pure eargasm. I love it.

    Graphics/artstyle: This is a tough one. Personally, i think the world is beautiful. Even with a 2070 Super. Graphics are a tick above average. but the visual immersion and artstyle is leagues ahead of any other game that i am aware of.

    NPC's: Now this pisses me off. I have seen countless reviewers and comments criticising the NPC's. The truth is that this game has just as good (and by good i mean average) AI as any other game. I have absolutely no idea what the critics bases this on.

    Charcters: If you like RPG's, this game WILL make you care about the characters. To me, they felt almost like real people. Some are very likeable. Some you love to hate or hate to love ;)

    RPG aspect: I've seen this criticised alot too, and i don't understand. I have played alot of singplayer RPG's and this is by far the best and immersive system i have ever seen. And its just gonna get better with FREE DLC and paid expansions. i would say that the game is roughly 50% combat and 50% story. How much it leans to each side is a lot of times up to you as the player.

    Combat: Turns out that fast paced combat with a lot of customization options and lots of ways to tackle different situations is a good thing? Who would have thought. Seriously though, it is great for an open world rpg.

    The negative

    Bugs: You already know.

    Nudity: A game that markets itself as a mature game, where you can kill, dismember and execute people. There is suicide, torture, and extreme mental health problems, but HELL NO to naked men and woman in a world that is all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Nudity in a game enforces immersion because, surprise, its natural. And it is normal in real life. Its a shame that they didnt include this in the open world and missions.

    I agree that this game is not finished, and CDPR got a lot of making up to do. BUT bugs aside, this truly is a amazing game and is only gonna get better. This is a MUST have for any Singleplayer gamer. IF you have not played this game yet, but want to, you should wait a couple of months to get the best experience.

    The story is solid and the main emphasis is aesthetics and world building. The combat and leveling is competent. I wish there was a lot more variety in the body types and modifications available.

I've seen one insane guy with no jaw, but that was as crazy as it got... mostly just regular people with weird jackets. It doesn't seem like that hard of a thing to build in, so hopefully there will be more variety later. Like, why not people with horns and doc oc appendages and **** The in game media is fairly wild, but that over-the-top attitude doesn't translate into the actual people you deal with, so it rings false sometimes. The ambience is excellent. That feels completely correct. The music is great. Weirdly, the best Jazz station of any videogame I've played. Anywho, excellent experience so far, about 40 hours in.

    *currently at 80 hours played, 1st full playthrough was 45 hours, but I was skipping a lot of side content planning on my 2nd playthrough being the 'real' one*

    This game has its issues, but at least for me the bugs and glitches haven't been more than annoying, and they've gotten better with the patches CDPR have put out. My worst problem was that I was getting a lot of crashing, but after troubleshooting that turned out to be either because of my GPU or the overclock I had on the GPU. (I ended up replacing the card and borrowing it to a friend, i haven't had a crash in 30 hours, he was crashing as we were setting the card up in his system until I removed the OC and left it stock)

    Despite the issues the game has, I am having a ton of fun with it. The gameplay is fun, I love how relatively real the characters in the game feel (especially how they randomly call and text you), I like the loot/craft/upgrade systems in the game, I enjoy the monkeying with the fashion of my character despite the game mostly being in 3rd person, great customization as far as character builds, the story isn't AMAZING but it is engaging and a lot of the side-quests and Gigs are really good, the game looks gorgeous (playing on an RX 6800 with mostly maxed settings, a few things that don't make a visual impact but do make a performance impact turned down), the world feels dense and alive...

    I just really enjoy this game, despite the flaws, and if the glitches and bugs are ironed out I would give it a 9/10.

    Some things that I would improve on... I like the 1st person view in a lot of the cars, but many have so much crap sticking out of the hood it's hard to see. Vehicle/clothes/gear customization. Being able to change V's appearance in game, even if just by a haircut. Improve traffic AI. Probably some others I'm not thinking of now, I don't think any game is a perfect 10/10, despite how often review sites throw that score around, glossing over issues with games or even dropping scores for things that has nothing to do with the game itself (like politics, racism issues or gender equality/freedom).

    Update: Currently at 117 hours in, finding tons of stuff I missed in previous playthroughs, being impressed with the detail the game has and how certain choices can make you completely miss things in the game or cause some events to never happen. I still haven't been really affected too much by bugs and glitches beyond some minor annoyance. Definitely a solid 8/10 game that for me is now creeping towards a 9/10 even with the bugs and glitches just because of everything I've found in more playing time that I'd missed or not noticed before.

    The RPG elements (equipment progression, "talents") are kind of annoying, the gunplay is serviceable at best, but the sheer amount of detail, liveliness and things to do in the Night city make it up for me.

    If this game is launched exclusively on PC and Next gen console, I think it would receive far less criticism than it deserved. Played it on PC, and I don’t even have a killer one, GTX1080, it runs smoothly with some occasional bugs here and there which are expected. The storyline slowly grows on you and I can’t wait to play my second play-through

    I think my biggest gripe is that I feel that the story feels really railroaded, that is to say, you don't really get impactful choices to make, you're just kind of delivered the story. After all the Witcher games, I was not expecting this.

    It is what was promised and more. Great game, it does have some minor graphic bugs that really don't take away from the marvel it is. Solid main story, tons of sub-quests and excellent character progression system. I quite liked the crafting system as well, something I was not even expecting to be in the game.

But there are lots of visual bugs and glitches like floating heads inside cars, people stuck in stairs, mirrors not showing your hat and so on. This can and will be fixed by CDPR soon, I have no doubts about. It is sad they had to launch the game in current unpolished state, but this is a minor annoyance. However, the game has many flaws that will be very hard to fix if possible at all. First, the RPG element almost nonexistent. Dialogue options are not options at all - V's personality is pre-set and you would not have a luxury to choose his mood or alter his attitude. Some dialogues will not conclude unless you choose ALL available response options one by one and only after that script moves you further. NPC will not react on how you look or how cool your car is. In fact, they will not be affected by your actions at all. I ran naked with a drawn katana in a public market and nobody gave a wet slap about that. I do not see how THAT can be fixed without rewriting half a game. The world is truly, stunningly beautiful and created with love. Especially if you are fan of Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Deus Ex, Matrix and all other things cyberpunk. And it is very sad you will not be able to interact with vast majority of things in this world: no playing on pachinko machines, no eating noodles in a chines street food stalls, no smashing vending machines for another can of cola. You are not even allowed to sit on a bench and admire the view unless it is required by a main questline script. And this is not likely to be fixed with future patches as well, I afraid.

    To sum it up. Buy it now at the full price only if you are hardcore cyberpunk fan. If you look for good RPG or even a decent bug-free action game, wait for future patches and discounts.
    Will be happy to return and give a higher rate later after this mess is patched. 4/10 now.

    update as of June 2023. Now it shines! Really, good job CDPR, you fixed almost everything that could be fixed. It's not a masterpiece like Witcher3, but a great game anyway. Go grab it.

    There's no denying the console release was poorly done, however I can't say the same for PC. I have been playing the game for the last two weeks with only a few bugs impeding my gameplay.

The story may very well be one of the best I've experiencing in a video game, with the player options and side quests having a lasting impact on my choices. With that said, this is a true open world game, yes there are linear quests, but the chance to explore and experience the world is there, and what a beautiful world it is.

    The graphics are very good, at times breathtaking. The world is rendered with a quality very rarely seen in video games and it may be this fact that led to so many problems with the console editions. It's hard for me to believe anything but a mid-range to high end pc could actually manage this game.

    The controls are good, sketchy at times, but no worse than other leaders in this genre, i.e. Skyrim, Fallout, and Witcher, in fact they are better than Witcher in almost every regard.

    The difficulty at normal seems, easy? That would be my only concern. It should have been Very Easy, Easy, Normal, and Hard as the levels of difficulty. The only missions that stop me on normal difficulty are Hard or Very Hard missions, and even then I've completed hard missions after some reloads.

    Overall I would say this may be regarded as one of the best video games every released. Is it a 10 now? No, Will it be a ten in a year, I believe it absolutely will be. Can you enjoy it on PC now? Yes and yes. I recommend this on PC to all my friends. It's an amazing game that will only get better.

    There is so much going on in this game. Main missions are awesome. Most sidemissions have the same quality and often same length as main missions. There are also shorter missions called gigs that are fun to play.

    No problem recommending this game your pc is up to it. Its demanding with all whistle and bells on, but turning down gfx and effects it can be played also on older pc's.

    Story and writing is up there with The Witcher 3. The characters are both likeable and unlikable, and the game does well at really making you hate the unlikable ones in a good way.
    Gameplay feels like Fallout crossed with Deus Ex and a sprinkling of GTA. Gunplay starts out weak and ramps up as your character gets more skills and perks in it. Weapons are impactful, varied and interesting.

    Customisation options are insane. There's a decent amount of stuff at character creation, and TONS of varied clothing options to tweak your look beyond that. You don't have to dress in mismatched stuff if you find better items, you can upgrade every item in the game to scale to your level.
    Money actually matters in this game. CDPR really did well balancing the economy. You feel like every $ you earned is valuable.
    Optimisation for PC is really good. Runs very smoothly at RTX ultra mode on my 2060 Super. A few minor bugs are keeping this game from being 10/10.

That being said, this game is truly an unpolished GEM. The ground work for everything amazing is all right here. What the game truly needed was another 6-8 months of development to clear out the bugs, and add a little bit more interactive-ness with NPCs. For example: I see a Ramen shop. I want something to do at said Ramen shop. Even showing me eating Ramen after a purchase would suffice. All of these are things that will likely be added when the game is ready. Unfortunately, the game was released unready. And that is why I can't give it a 10. I emphasize: this game is truly amazing, it is just unfinished. It is not like Star Citizen that has been sucking money and delivering nothing but glorified tech demos for 10 years. This game has delivered something that will be complete and will blow everyone away... assuming that the company is not sued into bankruptcy. Expand

Makes you wonder if these rival game corpos are doing "online hits," so to speak.

    TL:DR: Good, but could have (and should have been) better. Worth the bugs though.

    Long review:

    Anyways, on to the game itself: this game is pretty much what you get when you combine Deus Ex: Human Revolution, GTA V, and The Witcher 3. The world map isn't enormous, but there's a lot of elevation and density to it, and the level of detail is impressive. The attention to detail, in particular, is commendable. News TV and advertisements have entire voiced segments, and are entertaining to watch the first few times. Even magazine covers on the magazine stands are readable (with plausible article titles! lol) instead of blurred out decorative pieces.

    There are a bunch of bugs that are being slowly addressed, but thus far after around 65 hours of gameplay, I've barely been affected. The game runs well enough on mostly Ultra for me (a couple of effects like cascading shadows and SSR turned down to high or disabled entirely) and looks stunning. A lot of the more glaring bugs are graphical ones that serve to break immersion, but also are kind of funny at times. I never felt like it was a big negative though, and I expected such bugs given the complexity and scope of the game. I also expect that they'll be fixed up in time, and I fully expect to do more playthroughs.

    The main cast of characters (Keanu Reeves is ofc excellent!) are compelling, interesting, and well-crafted. Secondary/tertiary characters are decent. I was a bit disappointed you couldn't romance Judy as a male pc, but that's a minor point and totally fine haha

    I will agree that the open world feels... filled, but lifeless. While there are a lot of NPC's with short and unique dialogue segments all over the place, for the most part there's not a lot of... life. Not a lot of movement outside of the side quests. Other than the people walking or driving around, of course.

    Speaking of side quests, they are AWESOME in this game. Some of the best quests I've done in an RPG since... Witcher 3, basically. I've basically been doing side quests (and there are A LOT of em) and barely advancing the main plot so far.

    Anyways, there are some valid negatives being pointed out by other reviewers, however underneath all the bugs, sometimes poor optimization, and substandard AI is a beautifully-crafted and complex game. Even now, to me, the game is worth playing, and I'm excited for another playthrough once everything is ironed out and improved!

Clothing is cool, I look forward to a patch to change my hair style and look, but changing my cyber gear allowed for different experiences. High jump changed my play style. Playing as a female V was a ton of fun, the voice actress was pretty awesome. The story was good, not a save the world but save yourself story. I felt like a part of the city. I am impressed with all the hard work developers put into this. They definitely messed up with releasing an unfinished Ps4 and Xbox One edition and deserve the criticism they are getting for releasing those versions in a poor state, but on Stadia this game is a charm. I love Night City, got most of the cars, done a lot of side missions and the relations you can build with characters like Panam or Lucy are great. I should give it a 10 because of so many people giving it a zero without even playing it, but wont give it a fake score. It has some problems but nothing major on Stadia, and should be fixed by DLC and patches in the future. It has been a fun 70+ hours and counting. Would live in Night City over GTA Online and Red Dead Online if it adds a multiplayer online world in the future. It would be nice to get a new apartment. Great work on this game, but you should have waited to patch the problems or release it with people knowing is on early access to avoid this PR mess. Reminds me of No Man Sky. I love that game too, and how Hello Games has added more and more amazing features since release. Two very ambitious projects that simply needed more time and released a bit too early. Can easily see this becoming the next most improved game. I feel a lot of the criticism comes from people that don't appreciate how hard it is to build something this extensive. Keep up the good work with GoG.com, the Witcher, and Cyberpunk! Expand

    Cyberpunk 2077 is truly amazing.

    The open World, the Characters, the Story, the gunplay - all of this deserves a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. I have to take 1 point away because its not perfectly optimized, which should not happen after so much delay and development time. I dont share the same bad experiences like some other unlucky souls. After 33 hours, my game didn't crash even

    I dont share the same bad experiences like some other unlucky souls. After 33 hours, my game didn't crash even once so far and i had only a handful bugs. Some Quests or NPC'S got stuck and i had to reload a Savegame. Some Interface and sound bugs or texture loading bugs... but i cant say that this has made an impact on my gaming experience at all.

    I love this game and i cant wait to play more.

    Don't be so hard on CDPR.

    Great design, a bit repetitive gigs and side jobs but many bugs. Need polishing.

    Look beyond some of the promises missing and it's such a good game. For all the things we didn't get, we also get a really memorable city with fantastic characters that you care about and combat that is really cool and deep.

    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.
