    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I see the "overall disappointment" in a review for this game, I get furious. People got really hyped, but mostly their own brains and mentality were the issue there.
    Devs have presented the game as an awesome experience, with many features, and the game contains them (except for few things they resigned from and it was announced), and many people seem to forget what was announced and now they complain that the game is a disappointment. I can understand the disappointment in AI, yes, AI is retarded, shooting system, can be improved, bugs, sure, but the whole game? Hell no.

    People are complaining about the world, the city, decisions etc. what is wrong with them? Night City is alive, full of NPC, yes, you cannot talk with every single NPC you see, but how many interactions you can have with the usual NPC which you pass next to in GTA V (to which players are comparing this)? One or two lines, and that's all you get, so there is nothing wrong or bad in CP, except that they are always scared if you are passing them in a vehicle (this needs to be improved).
    The day and Night system is working fine here, you can see fewer people and cars on the streets at night (people were complaining that NC is empty at night), but go to Lizzies at it will be full of people.

    Another thing very popular in complaints, RPG features, thanks to them you have multiple options for your gameplay, it's not just a 2 way game, loud or steath, once I saw that someone compared Far Cry series to CP and said that both are the same, Jesus, how huge ignorant you have to be...

    Your decisions have an inpact in story, you can make Johnny completely dislike you, you can unlock secret ending if you will play and respond in conversations in a specific way. You can lose an option to finish with Nomads if you'll drop taking side quests from Panam... **** in the end, you can even commit suicide if you want to. When you finish the main story listen to what main characters are talking to you, don't skip the ending credits! These change according to how you finished the game.

    Many people are saying that the game is boring, **** no, how can you say that CP is boring? you have many things to do, very good and interesting side quests, contracts, chips you can find which will tell you more about the Cyberpunk world. OMG, I seriously think that people are playing this game just to beat it and nothing more, no exploring, no searching, NO READING FREAKING CHIPS.

    Whatever CDPR would release, people would be disappointed, players created huge hype in their minds expecting imaginary things they have not received in the game. I'm glad that most people can see this and are reviewing this game objectively and most reviews are solid 8-9/10. Unfortunately there are people that are just looking for anything to be able to complain.

    With one thing I must agree, CDPR has completely screwed up with PS4 and XBOXO release, they should just resign from old gen and release it on PS5, newest XBOX, and PC.

    Summarizing, the game is awesome, one of the best I have ever played, I can't remember when I played a game with such interesting side quests... I literally never wanted to finish the game for 100% and this time I want to, I need to.

    In a few months, this game will be very close to perfect, as Witcher 3 is right now, then a few DLC and we have GOTY 2021 (I really hope for GOTY for CP).

    Oh and before I'll forget; you are really crying that game was in development so long and is in this state right now and that it shouldn't be even released? So let me explain this:

    1. The teaser trailer was released 8 years ago, yes, but the game was in development for about 4-5.
    2. CDPR has NO experience in sandboxes, so saying that it's **** compared to GTA V because it's DIFFERENT is flawless.
    3. About 1000 people were working on this game, not as many as on GTA.
    4. GTA V, RDR2, GTA IV were trash on PC and also buggy on consoles after release, you keep forgetting about that (RDR2 and GTA IV are still in pretty bad shape now, especially on PC).
    5. They rescheduled the release twice because of PS4 and XBO, they have done everything they could to compress the game for 7Y/o setting (in the meantime the game was still expanding and improving, just check the differences between gameplay from 2018 and now), so how the hell you expect the game to look similar or even work as good as on PS5 or PC. PS4 pro can handle this game because it's just more powerful than regular PS4.
    6. If they would reschedule the game again (after death threats they've been already receiving in the middle of November) you would just eat them alive and cancel preorders, and they would use a lot on the stock.

    Graphics - 10/10 - the game looks freaking beautiful on ULTRA.
    Gameplay - 8/10 - will be 9 when bugs will be fixed, shooting improved, AI improved and police system changed, right now police is completely useless in this game.
    Sounds - 10/10

    This game has been a lot of fun. I am finding it absolutely riveting. I have not really experienced anything quite like this kind of action cyberpunk RPG since System Shock. Its been a long time..

    The story, setting, and NPC interactions are top notch. The only complaint I have is that getting it tuned was a bit rubbish. I had to do some editing of config files to get it to use all my memory and to configure some keys onto the mouse (Like "F"). Graphic auto settings were terrible.

    I had to do a lot of tweaking but have it running well with RT & DLSS enabled but some other settings turned down to compensate. I should not have had to spend hours working on my settings to get 50-60 fps game play.

    I will say that RT is not done justice with screenshots. It provides a subtle sense of presence that elevates everything. Its worth the FPS hit although I think the game could have been better tuned.

    A friend with a PS5, similar performance, is also enjoying it. I would say that 10ish TFlops is kind of the min to due this justice at this time.

    In the story plan, in contrast to the technical, the game is a masterpiece. I have already played for 35 hours, while the last 15 hours just performing huge side effects in their volume, the plot of which pulls on whole additions But yes, there are a lot of bugs,
    alas, in the game, and the AI of the crowd and cars is very depressing.

    Absolutely amazing game, this is on par with RDR2 and GTA but in a unique setting that hasn't been done right yet. It doesn't feel as BIG as those games but then again those games had a lot of empty space while every piece of the map in Cyberpunk is alive. I cannot stop playing this game! The combat choices, story, graphics and city are all fun.

    It runs very well too I haven't seen any

    It runs very well too I haven't seen any big bugs, but typical ones you would expect with a game this big. Such as NPCs getting stuck on walls or being unable to loot items. The issues I have with it are minor such as being locked into the attributes you choose.

    I will say this straight away i have a good PC and i understand that this game is unoptimized I would hope i could gain better FPS but luckily I can play at a playable fps.

    Firstly I wanna talk about the stunning visuals of this game in and out of Night City the graphics are the best I have ever witnessed in a game.

    The World accompanies the graphics with the tall buildings and good looking advertising boards across them. Some people would disagree and say they expected more but i came into Night City with low expectations because i didn't watch any videos hyping it up.

    Another thing I love about this game is the choice you have when doing any mission you can do it stealthy or shoot every enemy even in any side mission as well as main mission. By the way the side missions in this game are just as good as the main missions, they are very in detail and you meet new characters and earn many rewards by playing them. You can also choose how to take on a mission with the character you are talking with. If you want you can even completely disregard a job.

    The combat in this game I like a lot with all the different weapons you can use it makes it a fun experience. The enemies are sometimes hard to sneak pass making you use your hacking abilities to distract them and take them out. Some missions are very hard and are accompanied by bosses which are hard to take down.

    However as you may have heard the game has many bugs but not as bad as you may have seen on consoles. I even experienced a bug which was frustrating and meant i could not progress the story further so i had to start again. The game also has some graphical issues eg cars not rendering in properly and characters. I also felt the game lacked interaction when walking through Night City sometimes no cars were on the road or people not walking the streets even on max settings. I believe this game will be great in a few months when CDPR can release patches to fix the game but some of these glitches you would of thought wouldn't be there after 8 years of development.

    Overall, I give this game a 9/10

    Bug-wise, Cyberpunk is far better than the average Bethesda game. Story is excellent, graphics are excellent - really everything is excellent. This is on a PC with a GTX 1070TI GPU. About two gens back. I would not recommend it for an XBox or PS 4. Excuse me I have to get back in game. 60 hours and running...

    Visually appealing game with fun combat and a great story. I've only encountered a couple minor visual bugs on PC. Hopefully the devs fix the console versions quickly.

    With a few tweaks, its runs well on mostly Ultra settings on my pc at @1080 (GTX 1060) which is more than I expected.

    The game is not perfect but really near to it. The world is really big and beautiful, quests are hilarious, even small gigs are really nice. You won’t find anything like that in any game. CDPR quality of the story. If they fix bugs and take care about open world experience it will be 10/10.

As for the live paths issue - this sounds mostly like it's coming from people who never played this type of RPG before, and looks like a case of mismatched expectations with what can actually be done within reason, and within a pretty linear RPG game.

    Alright, after finishing game, i have time, and knowledge to wright something about this one.
    So, first things first. Cyberpunk 2077 isn't the best game in the world, like some (many) of people imagined it will be. Game have lots of small bugs and few problems.
    Now, after 70 hours of playing, i can say that CP77 is very well made, RPG. Main story is very good, and also, side quests are

    Now, after 70 hours of playing, i can say that CP77 is very well made, RPG.
    Main story is very good, and also, side quests are massive. with only Only one side quest chain, could easyly make a whole game for 6h of playtime like COD or any EA product.
    So, what about bugs... well, i had only one game braeking bug, it killed one o side job (not side mission) and thats it.
    Few minor glitchs, nothing more.
    I played on RX 590, 32 gigs of ram (u could have only 16, no diferents), and Ryzen 1600x on medium settings (50-60fps), and boy... medium looks better then any other game i played on ultra.
    Additional thougt: That PC cost me around 800 USD 2 YEARS AGO! This is not PCMR class of hardware, its cheap af... pls dont claim u need 2,3,4, or 5k PC to run Cyberpunk...
    There is many ppl that have problem with this game, and... i honetly dont know why.
    City looks real AF, AI maybe isn't best on the world, but still, its okey. Remember, this is not shooter, its not call of duty.
    This is mainly Role Play Game.
    Vehicles are OK, if u hate handling, just adapt, learn how to drive in this game.
    IMHO CP77 have superiur car handling then other games, specially if u drive heavy vehicles. u can almost feel the weight.
    Collisions in the other hand are **** that is something CDPR shoud fix.
    Overall, Cyberpunk is very strong RPG game, with immersive city, best graphic on the market, really well made storyline, awesome side quest chains, and i cant wait for DLC's
    As i said before, cant even imaging why people hate's this game.. Maybe, just maybe, these gamers, just dont like RPG games, or maybe its PS4/XBX port...
    Anyway, im glad that they screw up optimalization on consoles, and didn't downgrade the graphic quality (yes, im talking about every single ubisoft game since FC3)
    CDPR, thanks for this awesome adventure, im looking for more from CP77 in the near future. Peace :)

    Positives:
    Graphic - oh my god, thisn game looks unreal
    Main Storyline - really well put and made
    Side quests - awesome long journey with dozens hours of story
    Map desing - First game that i really dive into the world and didnt though constantly that this is only a game.
    Music - well made and immersive
    Characters - Well made story behind them, and well played.

    Negatives:
    Minor bugs - clipping, levitating and that kind of stuff
    Major bugs - one side job was bugged, and also there was at least 20-30 times that i was forced to load save. Plus glitches in inventory

    If u are consol peasant, add unplayable PS4 port, or buy decent PC or new console xd

    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.
