    Preface: This is the first time i have felt compelled to leave a review as the backlash from all of these entitled people trying to relive their “burn EA to the ground” glory days is making my head spin. This game is not terrible like they want you to believe. The majority of these bad reviews are coming from the same source of dissent that complained their way through a series of gamesPreface: This is the first time i have felt compelled to leave a review as the backlash from all of these entitled people trying to relive their “burn EA to the ground” glory days is making my head spin. This game is not terrible like they want you to believe. The majority of these bad reviews are coming from the same source of dissent that complained their way through a series of games all year (TLOU2), Which the main complaint was gender fluidity inclusion.

    Now on to Cyberpunk. Without a doubt the first week release was a bit spotty which is not surprising. The game truly is massive. I was surprised at how big and truly detailed night city is. Nooks and crannies galore throughout and each location tells a story, from abandoned apartments to back alley hangouts to underground dwellings, it is amazing the amount of world story telling going on. The main story quests and side quests are truly very lovingly crafted and if one wants a game that is a wonderful single player experience, then this title is hard to disappoint. The writing is thought provoking and existential without being shallow or hollow in approach. A certain quest comes to mind that involves a man recently attempting to find god with the intent of redemption that i dont want to spoil, but left me reflecting for quite a bit afterwards. This type of writing is highly acclaimed in movies, think stanley kubrick, in how it has made me feel. Deus ex attempted to ask the same question but was unable to commit to material this controversial so this is gladly appreciated. Truly amazing.

    Gameplay is where the title could cause some conversation and potential turn away for a couple of reasons. The game is similar to approach in titles like GTA V but mixed with Farcry. Being that it is first person for the majority of the experience there are moments where the game seems to struggle with some things such object tracking and collisions. Hence some of the bugs and glitches that are prevalent. In all honest it is most of the time more entertaining than game breaking though and has not impeded hardly any of my 40 play through so far (i have hardly touched the main quests). Since the first week patches though the game has drastically improved in a short time and i expect much more content and feature to be added as the game progresses as well. The soundtrack and radio are awesome as well, crafted from such acts the refused, converge, grimes, and many many others and being an original soundtrack really helps to flesh out the detail of the world. Now for immersion sake there is some improvement in this area, more vendors, civilian and police AI repair, and maybe a slightly slower story pacing would be beneficial. All of which can be patched and most likely will. CDPR have been great about making sure their games are brought to their full potential even if it may take some additional time. Witcher 3 truly was a masterpiece but had its fair share of problems as well. All in all, cyberpunk 2077 is an amazing homage to its source material and captivates in its writing supremely, from blade runner noir style detective cases, to political Illuminati intrigue, and virtual reality sex cults, the game is not afraid to tackle the inevitable questions of “what comes next?” Or how far we as a society could let things go even if it ends up being synonymous with material such as “mike judges idiocracy”. Weighted down by a few entertaining bugs though, i imagine subtle improvements to what i consider an easy 8.5 game will facilitate a steady blossom into what may become a modern masterpiece.

    Played it for 80+ hrs on PC (2080 RTX) and love that game so much. Ever since I played the first Deus Ex or read “do androids dream of electric sheep” I wanted to see a game likes this.

    Sure it’s has bugs and is far from perfect yet. but whoever compares it to GTA has never played this game. It got me stuck as Fallout 4 and 3, and is the best I played in a while with titles like TLOU2

    First new IP for CDPR in two decades and for first game in totally different settings it's great ,main storyline and side quest are interesting ,Night city looks alive even with miserable npc AI ,my only qualms with a game are limited quest solution chooses compering with witcher games .and boring combat.

The cars were very good to drive, I could feel power and weight. The main disadvantage is the map, which is too small.

    The choice of life path not only changes the first 10-20 minutes of the game, it also adds additional dialogue options throughout the game, which significantly affects the course of tasks.

    Apart from the botched base model last-gen console release, it's nowhere near as bad as everyone is making out. All the reduced or cut content?

    It runs fine at 1440p on my 1080Ti, no real crashes or game breaking bugs I've seen. It's been out less than 2 weeks and it just got its 2nd or 3rd patch - which is pretty on the ball for a company that just released a game 2 weeks before Christmas.

    Patience created this issue. CP2077 could have been delayed 4 more times and would have been worth it

    Pros
    NightCity cannot be underestimated as a living breathing character in the game. Graphics are inspiring; the character models are the best I've ever seen. Characters and dialogue is great

    Gunplay is fantastic.

    Side quests can be amazing. Cons
    NPCs are not believable, not even close. Story isn't that good.

    Combat ai is not great. RPG elements are not deep or meaningful.

    I have probably only played the game for 30-ish hours, but I have had some really memorable moments and that itself in this era of **** copy-paste open world AAA games is worth a 9/10.

    The game isn't perfect, but it's a ****ing good one!

I could stealthy quickhack kill the nastiest enemies or wipe them with my looted and upgraded assault rifle, f**king awesome smart SMG rocket launcher, and kick ass rapid fire shotty.

    Also if you wanted an RPG, by design, you don't want an action video game. This game is not a strict RPG, but it's deep enough for a video game and there are enough customizations that make a difference in the game for it not to be totally pointless. It could be a bit deeper, but then again I wasted 10 lifetimes crafting, looting and stash management in The Division 1 and 2, and found in the end it was more like another day job than a fun game so I was releived I could customize V enough to make it suit my play style, without actually investing in a side jobs worth of effort.

    I completed Act 2 in three ways I wanted to end the game and was totally satified. I played it on HARD to make it a challenge and although the AI could be a bit smarter, it was hard enough to be fun.

    The only con is that the popup over powered police are stupid - at at least should engage with the baddies if they are shooting up the street too. This should be fixed in a future patch I'm sure.

    Anyways, all you low scorers either bought the wrong game, don't like cyberpunk, or just part of the whiny meme driven herd stupidity that currently infects humanity. This game is not only great, it's the start of an awesome franchise - most of you are comparing with existing and mature franchises - so if you like those play those - but this is just the beginning of CP2077.

    Oh and the soundtrack rocks especially the RTJs tune.

    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.
