    Это одна из лучших игр за всю историю. С огромным потенциалом. На предельных настройках графики порой непонятно это игра или реальная фотография.

    After 14 hours of gameplay I have not experienced a single game breaking bug. I am not saying they do not exist, I am merely explaining my review score. I have experienced three instances of bugs in the 14 hours of gameplay and they were all minor (a floating cellphone, cigarette etc). A lot of noise has also been made of performance. I am running this game on a RTX 3070 with an i7 8700After 14 hours of gameplay I have not experienced a single game breaking bug. I am not saying they do not exist, I am merely explaining my review score. I have experienced three instances of bugs in the 14 hours of gameplay and they were all minor (a floating cellphone, cigarette etc). A lot of noise has also been made of performance. I am running this game on a RTX 3070 with an i7 8700 and 16GB of DDR4 ram. I have been playing this at high settings, no RT, DLSS set to performance mode, 4K output (upscaled of course). I have experienced a locked 60 FPS in all instances at this settings. From what I understand it has not been running particulalry well on older hardware and that is regrettable. It is also worth noting that the game is performing better after the hotfix as well as the Nvidia's driver.

    I have seen a lot of people being upset because the hype and the reality of the game have not lined up. This reminds me of some of the critics (users) complaints around Witcher 3 when it came out. That game did not line up to an E3 video and people raged as a result. It was a buggy performance mess when it came out, and people consider it one of the best games of our last generation. This has not impacted me because I always, ALWAYS, take the hype train with a pinch of salt. Do not trust corporations, they will spin, they will play fast and loose with the truth. You just need to figure out if there is enough truth for you. In this instance, this game lined up with my expectations and as such I am very satisfied.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, the vistas, the music, the character designs, the dialogue, the guns. I have enjoyed it all. I know that there are people who have not, and that is cool. We can like different things.

    Some things I would like to see CDPR sort out is better accessibility settings, be better about epilepsy (really, this one should have never gotten through the gate), and crunch (an industry wide problem, even in my industry which is online education). My reviewing this game favourably is not giving them a free pass on those things. I genuinely enjoyed this game but would also like to see them do much better in future.

But all the others are just playing this gorgeous looking game, listening to all of those perfect stories, watching all the drama, jokes or looking for easter eggs. This game is not perfect technically, but the story, gameplay and visuals/sound are just 10/10. So what it crashed like 10 times? I just launched it again, and again and again. I wish I had some more time to play. It is something new, refreshing. AC Origins was fun. Far Cry 3 was fun, but after few copy paste versions Cyberpunk is just something different, better. I am very happy with what CDPR accomplished and I am 100% sure they will deliver more hotfix and Patches on the way. It was the same situation with the Witcher 3. But some silly bugs does not matter with game like this. With story like this. With all of those dialogs, guns, clothes, perks, missions, cars, bikes and tons of interesting stuff to do. Just try it yourself Expand

    Great story, atmosphere and graphic. I really like the game and already played 40+ hours with many more hours coming. Also the most of the side quests are really good and interesting.

    I encountered just some small bugs and glitches, but imho for a game with this size and complexity that's negligible.

    They intentionally lied and hid what this game really is on base model systems. The story is pretty good when it will work. The graphics frame rate bugs and system crashes are bad. CDPR should be ashamed.

    I love this game.
    Even tho some promises weren't kept, it doesn't affect experience of the game.
    People forget that this game isn't sandbox, it's an rpg, it's made to tell a story, story of V we can customise a bit, we don't create his story, we affect some part of it and how it'll end. Nothing more. Lifepath prolog showes us how V ended up in Night City and situation he is currently

    Lifepath prolog showes us how V ended up in Night City and situation he is currently in. Expected it to be a little longer but still the meaning is here. I felt connection to V since the very beginning and how prolog ended really hit me and what was lore about (I don't want to spoil too much).
    Relations with characters felt just like real, both platonic and romantic (Even tho there isn't too much characters you can romance).

    Leaving the story behind (which is 10/10!) well gameplay isn't the best one, it's notacibly rushed, it's not terrible either (only 4 years of development; some people will say it's 8 but first 4 years were only exploration in the universe since most people were still working on The Witcher 3), the AI is not the best, but if you expect a good story it is not bad, for sandbox part is (doing side quests, exploring etc.)

    And for the last thing - bugs and optimization: The game suffers from them like every game after release, especially after long crunch develompent, but I expect fixes for those problems (bug fixes and AI) so overall they won't affect my score much.

    Can't wait for it's future development :)

    - best sfx and soundtrack i ever heard in video game
    - really cool vfx'es
    - great replay value (3 times finishing a game is like a must)
    - loved the 3d models and animations of basicly all the assets (cars, weapons, enviro is just WOW)
    CONS:
    - driving might be a bit more arcade? (i get used to it quick tho)
    - some npc at streets sometimes are acting weird (i consider it as a minor bug)
    - there could be so much more to cyberwere, its a bit to little of essential upgrades (like mantis blades, gorilla arms etc)
    PS. played it on my laptop: RTX 2070, i7-9750H, 32gb ram and i had no glitches (except few minor bugs) and had overall a very good experience with this game. i know that people are having trouble with it at consoles and weaker pc's but Im having a best gaming experience in years.

    If you can't wait to play this game I would highly recommend picking it up.

    This game did need a bit more dev time but over the coming months CDPR have promised to fix the bugs that some players are experiencing.

    I would give this game a 10/10 if the majority of the bugs were fixed, but as there are quite a few visual bugs I would give this game a 9/10.

    I am playing with an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 3700x.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It gets a 10 easily based on story alone, if you can’t deal with a few minor bugs or come to terms with the fact that your 8 year old card can’t run ultra settings on 1440+ maybe this isn’t the game for you. But if you can realistically wait for patches to come out, drivers to launch to help with the graphics, and control your inner Karen... this may be the game for you. Beautiful story, combat is fun, people who complain about AI being to easy run the game on easy and then complain about it being to easy..... Probably one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, highly recommend running it within the proper parameters of your hardware and you’ll have a wonderful experience. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's tell a set of jokes first.

    By the way, one day, many 3A series RPGs with good relationships, as well as some games related to cyber and science fiction, got together and started chatting.
    They are the first to talk about the story and the main line of the plot...
    "Breaking the Encirclement" series: As a cyber story, the starting point of my story is the plague and vaccine. The core of the story is the conspiracy theory that the chaebols of the future society can control the people at the bottom through the prostitution.
    "Burst" series: The starting point of my story is survival, and the core idea is that the world environment will deteriorate in the future. Humans try to change the world through nanoworms, but instead incur disasters, and choose from it.
    "Fallout 4": The starting point for my story is to find a son. The core idea is to discuss how people balance the relationship between technology and morality. Different organizations represent different attitudes towards technology and morality.
    "The Witcher 3": The starting point of my story is to find a daughter. The core idea is to gradually bring into the war pattern of the whole world on the way to find a daughter, and the background story of the big world of wild hunting and the blood of the elders.
    "2077": Gangster fighting is really fun! Good brothers make big news together! Be a master! Be a big shot! Good brothers talk about loyalty...Huh? what? You said Arasaka can control the world? Didn’t you just unload a chip for me? I, I... I have to find a street girl to mediate the gang fighting? Oh, the director insists on me, so let's do it, and Ollie will give it to you. The game is over. I don't know what I have pursued in my life.

    [Hardcore fans]: The 2077 story is well told!
    Then they talked about the content of the story...
    "Radiation": Nuclear war is terrible and cannot be abused.
    "Terminator": Artificial intelligence is terrible, so be vigilant.
    "Burst": Weather weapons are terrible, especially when combined with nanotechnology.
    "Borderless Land": Resource monopoly is terrible, such as special minerals.
    "Breaking the Encirclement": Mechanized prostheses may have backdoor procedures and hidden dangers.
    "2077": Keanu Reeves lives in my chip! He said he wanted to blow up the company! (There is no ideological program, just clown anarchism)

    [Hardcore fans]: 2077 is really a substitute!
    Talking about the concept of science fiction, and the future equipment in the game worldview...
    "Mass Effect 1": We envision future firearms, using the zero element to launch miniature high-speed projectiles with the mass effect field.
    "Radiation" series: In our case, nuclear-powered armor is very common, and the VATS auxiliary sighting system is standard.
    "Borderland": Hemp, I was hit by a space-based weapon!
    "Rainbow Six": Offensive and defensive battles between drones and cameras, vertical offensive battles with high-tech weapons in a narrow space.
    "Burst": Anyway, it's all outer armor. You can remove others' arms and legs to fit on your body and choose the location to execute.
    "Kagemusha 2": It sounds a little bit riddled, but here we talk about "Qi" technology and Guwu revival...
    "2077": Look at my gorilla arm!

    [Hardcore fans]: 2077's weapon system is too cyber! Great!
    Speaking of entraining private goods and exporting values...
    "Mass Effect: Andromeda": I was sprayed because I designed the female character too ugly, they all call me Ugly Woman.
    "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag": They said I entrained values ​​and called me a pirate!
    The full series of "Call of Duty": Hehe, I won't act anymore, I'm here to cook the people of the Middle East.
    "2077": Look at my black girls all over the street, braised eggs, and kill Matt! Good sister, if you accidentally grow a beautiful face, then you are not feminist, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to shave off half of your hair, you are still feminist.

    [Hardcore fans]: Cyberwind should be like this, it should kill Matt, don’t be embarrassed!

The main story is captivating to me so far, though I have not finished it yet. I was more surprised with the gameplay though - for me it's really fun, if not groundbreaking. The first few character levels are a bit more uninspiring but I managed to develop my V quite quickly in a way that suited my style of play, and the three different weapon "styles" (power, tech and smart) offer enough variability to make gunplay more interesting. Playing on Hard difficulty, I'm pleased with the feel of combat - enemies (of similiar level) are definitely not bullet sponges and they deal quite a lot of damage, so combat to me feels dangerous and satisfying. Driving is a bit whacky with some vehicles but honestly it's not that bad. Driving a motorbike in first person through the city is really fun though. There are bugs, but in my experience way less than I expected based on reddit outrage. Honestly for me it's way less buggy than something like Fallout 4 or God forbid NWN2 at launch. Police "chase" system is a garbage dumpster fire, have to agree there. I don't much care because the game is not about shooting random people in the streets, but the system is really bad. It can be easily patched though. Basically zero performance problems for me (AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 2060 6GB) and the game looks beautiful (playing with ray tracing medium+ settings). I'm not giving a 10 because it has some issues, but 9 points is an accurate description of my experience just after launch. I believe that with patches and good DLC's the game is more than capable of being a 10/10 gaming experience. That being said it sure sucks to play this game on PS4, but the PC version is great.

    This game is obviously more demanding than I thought it would be. Alot of criticisme of the game is very similar to what the original Crysis got. Lets compared to it to the last CPR game; I still remember the lag and poor performance in Novigrad on my first play through of Witcher 3. Most problems with world and glitching after viewing other's playthrough is related playing on too high graphics. Glitches and bugs I have encountered with high FPS are less than a handfull after 10+ hours of questing and exploring.

    You can obviously see that having 50+ NPC's on your screen at the same time will hinder your FPS, especially if you aim to have above 120fps. Thats the hard choice between immersion or CS:GO gameplay.

    My tally of CP2077:

    +Huge world with layers, unlike NMS and RD2 with a flat boring world, with tons of NPC's and a living breathing world. This is the first real try on a realistic city.
    +Story with choice
    +Next gen title demands hardware like Crysis, tho' that was unexpected when its released on original PS4 and Xbox.
    +How autosave functions is one of the best implemented into a game so far.

    -Lack of SLI support
    -Lack of Ultrawide support
    -Some AI issues/very easy to trick NPCs ingame. No matter the difficulty.

    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.
