    The Good:
    Cyberpunk 2077, a game that's been hyped up for almost 8 years straight. And what does it deliver?
    In all honesty it's a great game when it works (more on that in just a second) but the story in itself is surprisingly well thought out and delivers a. Playing the game your going to make small dialogue choices, and while at first it seems these choices don't make that much of a difference, in some way or another they do. I was able to ask my friends, hey how did you do this mission here and how did it turn out, and usually we might have different experiences on how a certain mission might have played out.

    The Characters that you meet throughout the game also have a tendency to feel as if they were real people, and even if a mission sounded boring on paper, I was usually pleasantly surprised with how these stories would often turn out. It honestly felt really nice building relationships with certain characters and watching how their stories would unfold.

    Gameplay wise, while not the best thing in the world, it does get the job done. Shooting is okay, just don't go in expecting to be playing Call of Duty. At the beginning of the game, your enemies are essentially bullet sponges, and you might die a lot if your not the proper level. On the bright side of things, the game really shines when it comes to the rpg elements. Like any game, the more you level up the more easier the game becomes. However, what cyberpunk does differently is that while their are skill points you can use to level up a certain stat, the more you use a certain skill, the more better you become at that skill. So for instance if you decide to use a lot more stealth in a certain mission, you will notice your "Cool" stat starts to increase.

    The Bad:
    The UI in this game sucks. I'm sorry, but its super clunky and very annoying to move around in. The game gives you only 3 weapons that you can hold onto at a time, however this quickly becomes annoying when you run out of ammo for all your guns and now you have to find your way to the inventory to grab another gun, only to realize that new gun you just grabbed is also out of ammo. There needs to be a quick access function for your weapon inventory, and you should be told how much ammo you have for that particular weapon.

    The Map is way too cluttered way to early on in the game. There is a lot to do in this game with all of it's side gigs and side missions along with the main quest. However all these activities clutter up the map and it's hard to figure out where is what exactly. Speaking of side quests, the game's journal is simply just a list of missions you have available with a vague description of what that job is going to be. This becomes very annoying and cluttered, once you start gathering a bunch of missions, seriously did we need 6 different entries for all 6 Delamine Vehicles that we had to retrieve??

    The game is almost always in first person, and the only time where you have the option to really change your perspective is when it comes to driving. Driving in Night City is okay at best, and I'd recommend driving in third person in this game, as almost no game can seem to get first person driving to feel right. The only exception being is motorcycle riding. I honestly had a blast riding my motorcycle around town and exploring night city. So why is this in the bad section? The mini map is way too zoomed in, and might work better if it was placed on the bottom corners of the map. Too many times I find myself either missing a turn, or crashing myself into a car or a pedestrian.

    Speaking of Night City, it's honestly disappointing how beautiful this city is, yet there's only so little you can do in this city. Sure there are side missions you can do throughout the game. But as for just having fun in night city there's no arcades to play games, food to eat, hell can't even dance at the clubs. I do have hope these are added in the future

    The Ugly:
    While I myself haven't had too many bugs, it's no secret that this was a really buggy release. If I'm being honest with you, I think this game should have released in 2021. Often a bug will break your immersion, or in some cases for some people, ruin the whole experience by not even working. It's disappointing to me, as this game had potential to be very good, but a really bad release may have ruined that. I do have hope, that by as of next year, all these launch issues would be resolved.

    Tldr: Great game with great RPG elements, however it needs some work with it's cluttered UI system, the game is only disappointing with the amount of bugs it has.

    I definitely would say to wait on this game, and to purchase it after all these issues have been remedied .

    Nice game. I really enjoy some of the characters i knew while playing, but most of the side content is kinda repetitive and lazy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Besides the bug that, sometimes, take ourselves out of the narrative, it's a great game, it's a ambitious story, with a miss calculated time to release (should only being developed to next-gen), just like "El Brujon 3". It would've been a great game. Expand

    Ya know, buildings and textures not good, loading issues, npc amount, pop in, variety of npcs, crashing, etc. There are issues here.

    The game is very buggy on every platform at all levels. My pc experience personally has been good though, and I haven't really experienced any game breaking bugs. In fact most of my bugs are fixed by saving and reloading on the spot, or saving and restarting. Is it inconvenient? Yes, but it doesn't make me lose progress or anything. I have also found that most issues on high end pc's lie with 4k or rtx. The game looks fantastic without rtx and on 1440p, which arguably most people use anyway.

    So, all in all it definitely needs work in the technical aspects. However, that not the only thing a review should be about. THIS GAME HAS AMAZING STORIES. The characters you can interact with have much better realism than any other game I've played. I think its a mix if all the little things, like emotions, animation, looks. The stories in general are all interesting in their own ways too.

    The city is vast and detailed at every turn, on a good pc mind you. Lots of npcs, vehicles, buildings, signs, stores, etc. I found myself going in and out of little areas and alleyways for 2 hours the other day. It was hard to believe how much detail they put into the most random places. Some issues like the npc variety and repeats can have their weird spots of being next to each other, and while I do think it's a little immersion breaking, it doesn't always bother me. 9 times out of 10 I'm too busy doing something to even notice this.

    The music is fantastic and it adds just that much more to the game and how it impacts how you feel. Well done indeed.

    Melee combat seems to be a bit if a topic too. I am currently a melee build and I can tell you im having a lot of fun with it. I can understand certain qualms with how the impact isn't quite there yet in terms of how it feels, but I can tell you that melee is more than good enough to play and enjoy with.

    Once again these are my personal thoughts on the game so far, and while I could probably have more to say, it's harder to get everything in detail through text. To me, if the game wasn't as buggy as it is I would easily make it a 10. There's just so much to like and appreciate once you actually get into the game. I can't in good faith give it a 10 knowing so many people are experiencing issues.

    It's buggy, it's far from perfect - but it's nonetheless a great game and a great experience.

    CD Projekt Red seem to keep their promise - with patch 1.2 a great number of issues have been fixed, but there ist still plenty of work left. But if you have the hardware for it - and if you didn't buy into the hype expecting a Grand Theft Redemption: Night City - I can fully recommend the game

    Great game, great story, interesting world and characters, decent gunplay. This game got everything to be one of the best RPG's of all time.

    But -1 for bugs and -1 for poor optimization. This hopefully will be resolved soon so the game is a 9 or even a 10.

    Running good on a 2013 pc build with 16gb ram, gtx970, i7 4790k, and a non ssd HD. I have not had any crashes yet (fingers crossed), My friends have had issues, but when not using rtx they had almost no issues.

    I would not recommend the game if you do not like grinding like a DnD style game, Pathfinder KM, Underrail and other games like that.

I can't give the game full marks because the version released on console should honestly have been delayed at least a few more months to ensure that it could run in a reasonable manner. It can be fixed certainly, but it really should have been a pc exclusive launch at first if they were really desperate to release it when they did. All in all, the game itself is amazing, but performance is auch bigger issue than it should have been. 8/10 for now, but easily capable of being a 9 or maybe even a 10 with bug fixes and more optimization.

There is a lot to do in the world, ofcourse there are certain repetitive activities like in any open world game, but a lot of the small activities are actually unique and very nice, the characters are so nicely written and have strong emotional connections to you, I remember when i first finished the Witcher 3 i couldn't sleep cause i was so sad to have finished it and i started another playthrough, this is exactly the same thing. If you liked the witcher 3 (mainly story and characters) you will like this too. Now ofcourse the gameplay mechanics are different, but tbh i was positively surprised by a lot of the mechanics, combat is pretty fun, also the shooting, driving isn't nearly as bad as people say, sure it could be worked on a bit but remember this is a story you play, the mechanics are a way to progress the story, things like driving aren't gonna be the same as in racing simulators. I see a lot of people comparing this to gta, saying this is worse. Well, that is exactly the problem isn't it, a lot of people went into this game thinking it was a gta clone, And it is so much more then that. Performance on previous gen consoles is crappy yes, they could work on that, but don't let people fool you, the main reason is cause this game is truly next gen, when next gen video cards start coming out this is gonna be a true wonder. I play on pc on rtx 2070 super and i have constant 60 fps on medium graphics and ray tracing, and the quality on medium is comparable to ultra on a game like lets say rdr2. So i anxiously await the dlc and expansions and patches and this game will be even more incredible. Expand

    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.
