    The most immersive non-VR game I've played with superb writing, voice acting, and the best facial animations I've seen in a video game. While traversing the world is a pleasure and a lot of side quests are on par with the story the gigs and other similar side activities are a chore and don't have much in terms of the story unless you're ready to read the countless shards.

While the game has a colossal amount of glitches from my experience they haven't been game-breaking and I'm somewhat willing to let it slide because of the sheer scale of the game and considering that prior to Cyberpunk CDPR as a company has only worked on witcher games which are drastically different from the futuristic Cyberpunk. The game isn't just mature for the sex and violence, it explores deep themes and problems like the purpose of life, fear of the unknown, and how awful, but somewhat beautiful our world could be in the future. It's not some GTA, Skyrim, or Witcher clone, the game has its own identity and I'm already excited for what would come in the future considering that now they have a base for expansion from this game.

    Looking at other reviews made by some overemotional chooms I'd like to suggest checking spec requirements and updating your drivers :). Also for those calling this a scam they did exactly what they promised they would: Created a huge, beautiful immersive world filled with well-written side- and main quests and interesting characters that make you want to know more about them.

    Very good game, great cyberpunk atmosphere experience and also a good RPG game. Story is breath taking. Still got a lot of bugs to fix, but it's normal in production that big. However bugs should be fixed in couple of weeks.

    Best game in years. Second best game in the last decade after mgs5.
    only 9/10 because if you dont do quests etc. you have not really much to do in the world, no hair dresser no hobby-activities, but we are spoiled in that case from gta anyways now.
    Performance is really good even on my 4 year old PC.

    amazing game, amazing characters, amazing story. the environments are beautiful and waiting to be explored. the open world aspect is making a decent job at making places look alive, filled with people and cars. most of the bugs are of minor inconvenience, and the optimization could be improved on most platforms, but this is a masterpiece that everyone should experience at least once.

    The negative reviews are grossly exaggerated, as far as the PC release is concerned. The game runs really well on mediocre hardware (GTX 1660). Over 6+ hours of gameplay I've only noticed that a cigarette has been flying in air - apart from that, the gameplay has been very enjoyable. Great graphics and visuals, engaging story - I do highly recommend trying the PC release before hating :).

    I haven't played such a game for a long time, yes it is a bit bugged right now, texture glitches, and so on but THE GAME AND THE STORY ITSELF IS AMAZING!! the world and the small details around it are awesome. I have spent around 15hours on XboxSX and I can fully recommend it. Of course, I am waiting for patches but the game is playable now and it is nuts how immersive it is.

    Am I disappointed in the game? no. Hell I even played it 30 hours straight from launch. It's been non-stop fun.

    Incredible experience, very addicting gameplay. The RPG mechanics are not very obvious which makes them more interesting and allows a lot of experimenting. The city is just stunning and is definitely best open world map available in any game.

Shooting is satisfying but not as much as doing everything in stealth which is also highly rewarded. The strongest parts of the game are main story and side quests, everything feels polished, unique and very real. We get into the life of Night City folk, we get their struggles, we feel for them and it makes completing the quests very personal. Obviously game needs some optimization and few interface changes to make it easier to navigate all the menus but knowing CDPR they will listen to feedback and improve over time. Can't wait for DLCs!

    After years of development we finally got the Cyberpunk. Promise of fully immersive game, full of influential choices, with many side activities and complex character customization. However this was not the thing. Some promises were kept at least partialy. For example immersion and story. Story is probably best part of the game even tho you wont feel so attached to some characters. YouAfter years of development we finally got the Cyberpunk. Promise of fully immersive game, full of influential choices, with many side activities and complex character customization. However this was not the thing. Some promises were kept at least partialy. For example immersion and story. Story is probably best part of the game even tho you wont feel so attached to some characters. You will trully feel immersed in some quests (mostly main quests) by the set-up, NPCs appearances, story and by some links to other quests or NPC. However most of those cool looking quests youve probably saw already in gameplay videos. Side quests are ok so far (about 15+ hours in game) but not so unique as they were in Witcher 3. Probably the worst part of the Cyberpunk is its immersion beside the quests. The city feels boring if you expect some sandbox type of the game. City doesnt even feel like another entity with its own rules. It just seems like shiny but empty terrarium. If you feel like the city and all side activities should be just coulisse to the main story line, then you wont be so disappointed. If you feel like side activites should help you tie up with your character, NPC and whole lore and they help your immersion then probably you will end up dissapointed. Thats the review not about the technical state of the game but about something what we would expect that is the main domain of CDPR. Another parts of the game that were poorly developed (or not at all) would probably be: bad NPC AI, really weird wanted system, lack of some promised mechanics such as car/appartment customization, wall running (I didnt expect this to be a thing to be fair), story choices and their impact on game feels flat...
    Another issue is optimization, bugs, glitches, downgrade, etc. And youre gonna find a lot of bugs in this game. Probably first bug I saw even started at character creation when I saw in my localized copy parts of the XML tags. Another common bugs are NPC, cards and objects are randomly spawning, exploding. Enemies sometimes just stop shooting at you and they just turn around and act like theres not a psycho with a katana behind them that was slashing through the whole building like it was full of Pinatas. Youre gonna encounter bugs like this all the time, and if you play on old gen console you will also feel those fps drops. A lot.
    If you wanna enjoy this game same as I do, I would give you some tips. Dont play it on old gen consoles. If possible wait for some more patches to come, or next gen upgrade. Dont overhype-youself. Dont look actively for bugs, poor textures or daily NPC routines. Tell yourself that some of the bugs, glitches are actually glitches of your old kyberware. Never-ever ride the car on the sidewalk. People will spawn out of nowhere and instead of doing quest you will end up as the worst mass murderer in history of Night City. Do main and some sidde quests and ignore side activites such as NCPD quests, bounties, etc. They are a bit repetitive and might ruin the immersion for you (if randomly exploding cars already didnt). I have high hopes for CDPR to polish this game in next patches, same as they did with Witcher 3. However even without any bugs or glitches I would rate the game as a 9 (must play for gamers) and not a 10 because of lack of some promises. In current state of the game I would say 7-8 our of 10 would be the better mark.

    The game is graphically awesome, if you can play on the pc with good pc hardware. (recommended RTX 2070 Super or higher). The story as well as the charackter build turned out really well. it's really fun to drive through night city and the outlands and play the missions and interact with the really good NPC´s. The world are full of NPS´s

    There are many options for customization and playing on differents ways, of course there are still a few bugs and framerate problems that will hopefully be improved by patches and updates. Like The Witcher 3... but CDPR can fix that!!

    in summary, a really great game from CDPR that you should play yourself to get an idea of ​​it.
    highly recommended and so much fun to play.

    Tldr: must buy for fans of open worlds and sci-fi/cyberpunk themes.

    A SLAP IN THE FACE to everyone who didn't want to play this game yet since not only is it good and gorgeous, it's not THAT buggy. (there, my Jim Sterling cameo is assured)

    Damn well close to perfect if you're into open world games and like cyberpunk/sci-fi themes. At times you forget the game world is based on a tabletop released in the 1990s. Small idiosyncrasies, such as radio and tv stations, or the very weak 'net' can occasionally throw you off and feel outdated, but again; this is not our reality's future, this is cyberpunk; it needs reminding since at times the two feel so intertwined at times they become a blur.

    The story is also pretty good, as far as i've gotten; a bit predictable (or maybe it's the spoilers in gameplay previews), but what really impresses is not the overall character arch that you embark on, but the other characters you encounter, their emotions and struggles. The animation for main quest characters (and some side-quest ones) are very well done. At times it not only sounds but also looks like a real human being you're talking to.

    And yes, the visuals are stunning. I was blessed with a GTX upgrade before the release, and if you were on the fence for this i highly recommend upgrading. I was blown away by the looks of the game; then again this was also a pretty big leap for me in hardware. Even if you're not into graphics though an upgrade might be required, as it seems to be a pretty big hog. Don't expect this to run smooth or look good on older hardware.

    The game is also more on the buggy side of things but honestly nothing horrible. Major bugs encountered i could count on one hand. The most you will encounter are visual glitches and UI bugs and I never had to reload a save because of a bug. Hell GTA Online feels buggier than this (with it's recursive loading bs).

    The side missions can get a bit repetitive and the map is hard to follow at times. I also don't like how close the minimap feels when you're driving and often times i've missed a turn because i was just too fast and didn't see it. A zoomed out minimap when driving feels like a must. The existance of stats on gear also means that how i want to look and how i actually look are two different things entirely. So it's not an ultra-perfect experience, but honestly it comes damn close for myself.

    Playing this game on a higher end PC is where it really shines.

    Though during launch it has bugs that I have experienced, I've yet to experience one that breaks the game albeit I have a high tolerance for bugs in video games. The game mechanics are fun, mostly immersive and there is a high ceiling for building a character that can approach a situation in combat in a variety of ways.

    The best part about this experience is easily the world building and characters you meet along the way. Rivaling that of the Witcher 3. The side characters you are introduced to are phenomenal and hopefully CDPR expands on some of them in the coming future. Noting that CDPR games do tend to get better with age, I do expect this game to iron out it's issues and implement QoL features that this game is missing. Mostly having to do with customization and some immersion issues, namely that you cannot edit your "V" after the very first character creator.

    I have 46 hours played in 3.5 days - took Friday off work to play this game. I have enjoyed a lot of great RPGs (Witcher, Divinity, Wasteland, GTA, etc), but this is the first in a long time that's got me so excited I'm thinking about it all day and driving home to get 20 minutes in on lunch.... You have to ask yourself: "Compared to what?"

    Pros: - Characters are great - some I like,
    I have 46 hours played in 3.5 days - took Friday off work to play this game. I have enjoyed a lot of great RPGs (Witcher, Divinity, Wasteland, GTA, etc), but this is the first in a long time that's got me so excited I'm thinking about it all day and driving home to get 20 minutes in on lunch.... You have to ask yourself: "Compared to what?"

    Pros:
    - Characters are great - some I like, some I don't - as it should be. Their reactions to conversation options are neat, and the facial expressions are great, very realistic, whether it be skepticism, smugness, hopefulness, you name it.
    - The story is as good as you'd hope from CDPR. It's got a few wild moments, but it's not goofy like GTA. There are truly sad moments, edgy parts, and you can choose to hang out with people or not depending on how you feel about them.
    - There are somewhere north of 200 perks to invest in, under 11 skill trees. This offers a larger than usual degree of specialization, and promotes you investing in a playstyle that will be very different from the next guy's. For example, I have spec'd into crafting and engineering. My best gun is legendary quality, and I can afford to keep upgrading it as my level increases. My tech weapons and grenades are great, but I'm slow, bad in melee, and can't hack worth a damn.
    - The performance is great on my expensive set-up (EVGA Geforce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra, ASUS PG279Q, i7-8700K, Samsung 860 Pro SSD). I run all ultra, RTX, DLSS on, at 50 - 80 FPS, depending on what's being processed. It looks so good I keep taking screenshots to share with friends.
    - As you level up and get better gear, you really feel like you're making it somewhere. Driving is way better with better cars, fighting is way better when you've specialized well, etc.
    - The hardest difficulty is tough enough to kill you plenty, but never impossible, and never so bad you don't want to try again.

    Cons:
    - The AI driving really needs work. You'll hear brakes screeching when you shouldn't when an AI is driving you around, and it's generally clunky and disjointed. That said, this is an RPG, not a racing game, and your own driving is just fine.
    - There are a fair number of bugs, but nothing gamebreaking. I have had a few conversations where the voice sounded wrong, like talking in a cave when I'm in a car. I've seen a quick t-pose here or there, and a few times characters' mouths don't move. I've also had my gun not be able to shoot while ADS (until saving/reloading the game). All these will be fixed.

One quest did not let me pick up a reward from a ripperdoc, not a big deal, I got better quickly. Fell through the map a couple times, and a couple of other minor graphical bugs, but no crashes, and nothing major.

    Overall a great game and one I highly recommend for anyone who loves cyberpunk, Fallout, or FPSRPGs. This is the game that I have wanted since I started playing CP2020 many many years ago.

    My system is right at the Recommended settings, and at medium, I have had no performance issues.

    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.
