    I was a huge fan of CD Projekt RED for 13+ years (since the first Witcher) and I liked the GOG's policy, despite preferring other platforms for their functionality. I really didn't want to bring this up, but the GOG/CDPR actions and attitude left me no choice.

    I was a huge fan of CD Projekt RED for 13+ years (since the first Witcher) and I liked the GOG's policy, despite preferring other platforms for their functionality. I really didn't want to bring this up, but the GOG/CDPR actions and attitude left me no choice.

    The Cyberpunk 2077 is raw, unpolished and bugged as hell. The more I play — the more broken quests, "silent" dialogues and other technical issues I get. I was sending bug reports and suggestions to the CDPR support since release, but I haven't got any replies. Zero. Not even automatic ones, so I don't know if they even check them or no. There are no answers, there are no patches, there is no roadmap. The day-one patch arrived on GOG later than on other platforms and after that only two useless "hotfixes" were released (it didn't fix anything for me). No real patches for a month, no new hotfixes for weeks. The Russian localization is terrible and Galaxy client resetting the language preferences every time I launch the game. (There is no such problem on other stores). And the client still crashes ten times per day.

    I've heard a lot of complaints about optimization, but at least I don't have any significant problems on that front despite some minor fps drops and object popping. Though I've built my PC especially for Cyberpunk and my TV supports only 1080p resolution at 60fps which is likely the main reason I’ve got an ok performance.

    GOG/CDPR stuff keep ignoring all problems with Cyberpunk and Galaxy launcher, but this isn't the only problem they prefer to turn a blind eye for. Some of you may know that they decided to cancel the long-awaited release of an indie game Devotion on GOG to please some Chinese bots. They've slaughtered the game without any reasons (the little placeholder with the hurtless joke was completely removed from the game years ago). And the main problem in this situation that GOG staff answered on Twitter bot messages within a few hours by fully cancelling the promised release not only for China but for the rest of the world too. At the same time, they keep ignoring thousands of their own customers for weeks. They’ve just silently deleted the announcement and cancellation posts without any official statement/explanation/comment, ignoring all questions and support tickets about their decision. Just check the GOG’s Community Wishlist — it is the most requested game of December and January. This is just another sign that GOG/CDPR changed their policy from being pro-customer to being pro-money. It isn't the first call, but it can be the last one for many loyal customers. Censorship can't be tolerated, especially political censorship — I'm sick of this **** in my everyday life.

    So, after all of this, I’ve got really disappointed. I tend to buy way more games than I have time to play. And I prefer playing on another platform, but I used to buy second copies of the games I like on GOG only because I liked it's policy, customer-oriented service and wanted to support my favourite devs. But this isn't the thing anymore. I haven't even played 99% of the games I've bought on GOG, so, I've tried to request a refund for them. And they refused.

    GOG support has finally answered on my ticket. First of all, they've completely ignored all my questions about Devotion. Secondly, they've refused to refund anything (not a single game from 340+ in my library!) They've also refused to comment on the bugs and estimated release of next patch for Cyberpunk 2077. (They've told me to contact "CDPR official channels" that haven't answered to support tickets in a month). Finally, they've refused to partly refund my physical copy of Cyberpunk 2077 so I could get the Steam version instead (I don't want to be forced to buy future addons on GOG and use their broken launcher anymore). They've told me that I should refund my physical collector's edition where I've bought it. But it isn't possible after you've opened the box and used the activation code. Well, I will be waiting for heavily discounted GOTY/Director's Cut/Enhanced edition on other platforms then.

    I was supporting and advertising GOG for years. I've bought all CDPR games on release, including collector's editions and versions for different platforms (not to mention figurines and tons of other merch). I didn't expect that these companies’ management will start to wipe their feet on its loyal customers. I’ve missed the moment when they turned into EA/Activision siblings, but as far as history shows — it's the one-way road in this industry.

    This is the last game I've bought on GOG. In the current state, I can't recommend it to anyone, nor I can recommend this platform anymore. I'm disgusted by GOG/CDPR recent actions and their new priorities. I'm disappointed by the way they've decided to handle situations around failed Cyberpunk launch and Devotion censorship. Their reaction (the lack of it) on customers' feedback is a disgrace and I regret supporting them so much…

    Gameplay is pretty fun. The weapons, cyberware, and perks are pretty cool. Need to buff & fix the crafting system. Wish there was a little more car customization like with the gear. Gear progression needs work though. Don't know why there's so much character customization when it is first person. Driving is great on controller, but needs some tweaks on mouse and keyboard. AI is weak. Lots of systems don't feel fully fleshed out.
    Story is pretty alright, not mind-blowing, not horrible. People expecting the second coming of Christ need a reality check. Choices don't really matter till close to the end, and even then it's still meh. Shouldn't have marketed it as such. Characters were pretty great though. This style of game and the freedom it offers is not conducive for a tight and well-paced plot. As a whole basically Deus Ex on steroids and that's all I anticipated. Overall fairly satisfied with my experience and looking forward to improvements & more content.

I am confident that with some patches the game can become from 8.5 maybe 9. difficult to 10. What can I say ... a good game but nothing new.
    Gran bel gioco. Grafica da paura, tutto gira correttamente a patto di avere un pc performante. Non fate come i consolari che poi si lamentano, questo gioco va giocato su un pc di livello, punto. Storia interessante e le secondarie pure. Il sistema di combattimento va rivisto, fa schifo, e pure la guida dei veicoli. Fortunatamente mi interessa la storia e vivermi la city, altrimenti mi starei lamentando come tanti altri, e giustamente. Sono fiducioso che con qualche patch il gioco possa diventare da 8,5 forse 9. difficile da 10. Che dire... un gioco valido ma nulla di nuovo.

    Got this for PS4 Pro, and this is an unplayable mess that keeps crashing my console. Did they even do console testing? This looks like a PS3 game with its **** graphics. You need a high end PC to make this look good, since they don't give a **** about the console players.

    After 120hours in this game, I can tell that this is very good game. It has some problems, and some missing potential in few cases, but the story is great. About gliches/bugs I played 120hours and I never had a bug that would prevent me from doing quest... So I think people are hating just so they can hate something.

    The story is most important thing in cyberpunk, there is not many games with such great story. The characters are amazing, each with their unique personality I wish more games had npc like this.

    The game is not perfect, 90/100 is good score for this game. Im giving it tho 10/10 because a lot of people are hating so I want to inflate score a little bit. The police system is odd, and I wish they would change it. The driving can be strange, but I like it, it is not very realistic but it is more a quality of life so it is okay. There are a lot of great sidequest but most of the time it is go somewhere, get/do something, go away, the typical quest to earn some xp and money. I wish they would categorize those, with the great ones, after some point I wanted to do main story because I thought quest are too similar. After ending game I went back and do all the quest and oh boy, some of them are best sidequests I have ever seen in video game.

    The horrible year 2020 ends with yet another disappointment.

    Bad: - The AI is really, really bad. - Police just suddenly rezz behind you out of nowhere. - Car NPC AI seems to not exist at all - just cars suddenly rezzing behind you and following your path instead of following their own AI. - NPCs of the city also do not have any AI. Sometimes it almost looks as if they freeze

Don't mind the bugs, performance issues. Don't mind the lackluster buggy cinematics. Don't mind the HIDEOUS INTERFACE. The absolute terrible inventory system. Don't mind the horrible way of getting side-quests through tireless phone calls, and when you kill the person you were sent there to kill and leave the building the NPC calls you back INSTANTLY, magicly knowing about it, before anyone else could find about body or known the target was really killed. Don't mind the uncountable times I have been cut from the immersion because so many weird things were happening on the screen, and don't mind the NPC I'm having a cutscene with deciding to WALK THROUGH ME as if I didn't exist, NUMEROUS times, even when I stood right where the cutscene left me, after giving back control.

    This game is an absolute MESS. I could not believe my eyes. The game gives you a glimpse of what it could've been because it has cool cinematics while having a drink at the bar, and getting your cybernetic arm upgrades on a cool cutscene, but then it NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. Everytime you upgrade your cybernetic stuff, it's just one (horrible) menu with stupid icons. Everytime you ask for a drink, a (horrible) menu opens up so you can buy random uninpressive food icons that all work the same way. And everytime you want to eat something you already have, you have to open your inventory, instead of pushing a button like it was on The Witcher.

    First time you carry a body, they show a cool cinematic of laying it on the ground, on your very first mission. But then, forever after, everytime you have to put a body in the trunk of a car, they teleport. NPCs don't open any doors, ever. NPC's don't open or interact with anything, ever. When they enter a car, the door always opens by itself, and I know the door is not automatic because when YOU leave the car, you interact with the door knob. And the NPCs usually clip THROUGH the door when it's opening or closing, instead of waiting for it. The car usually starts running off before they even sit or put the foot on it.

    This game is one of the most immersion braking games I have played in the last decade. I'm being impartial here, forgetting about the hype, threating it like any other game, looking over all the bugs glitches and clunky NPC and cutscenes it has, not comparing to anything else, and just looking at it for what it is. And it is absolutely stupid. IT'S FLATOUT BORING. And it has so many dumb decision made, throughout all its systems.

    I was having a touching cutscene that was suppose to end in a sad way, but then when it ends the game INSTANTLY have a **** Delamain Taxi NPC calling me YET AGAIN and I respond to it as if nothing just happened in a super cool way. This game is on so much on rails it's insulting. There's nothing RPG about it. And the open world is trash, period.

    False advertising. All over it. They made it sound like you had so many choices, could do so many things, and it's just not. I rather a million times play Red Dead Redemption 2 again, the game that was the most immersive and bug-free I have played in my entire life. Not ONCE I had bugs on my 300h or something playtime. Not once I had something weird happening that cause me to lose immersion or enjoyment from the game. The missions were limited, yes, get from point A to point B and never try to do something else, but the rest of it.. pure gold. I felt like in THAT game I had choices, even though I didn't have much, but it felt like I could go anywhere and do anything because the world felt so alive. I genuinely cried in the ending, because I was so invested and hooked up in the story, which was really really good. And this never happened before.

    Now I'm crying for Cyberpunk 2077 everytime I'm playing it, for entirely different reasons.

Half of them are difficult to look without triggering your reflext to look away. It doesn't help that the entire city is meant to be a crime-ridden ghetto, so to that end almost all of the characters are black.

    Without going in to spoilers, the story concept with Johnnie is interesting but the narrative and finale are just slaps in the face to player.

    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.

Yes, the game is next gen thing, and you shouldn't wait for a miracle on ps4, but if the developers had even tried, then the level of TLOU2, Spider-Man, RDR2, etc. could be reached... well, at least get closer. CDPR developed this game for a top-end PC from day one, and then released it on basic consoles to snatch money... They used PC verion to market this game, never showed ps4/xbox one version prior release, and lied in interviews that game feels and runs good on current gen conoles (at the time when ps5,xsx were not presented).
    I'm waiting for my ps5 and native next-gen version next year. For now it gonna be refund request.

    Awful AI, boring and broken combat, totally forgettable characters, rudimentary dialog choices.
    Not to mention the copious amount of technical problems which led to many reloads and restarts to be able to move forward.
    But even despite the technical issues the game is just not good.
    Over promised and under delivered in basically every aspect of the game, besides the art style.

    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.
